BIANCA POV
There is one more day of summer break and I have yet to get tanned I have tried basically all summer but not a shade darker. Boy I cant wait for the pacs coming my way this school year I can hear them now. "Hey Bianca you so yellow you took the sun out of business." or "Bianca u gonna mess around and blind me with your bright ass skin." But I don't mind I am just that shy type of girl who really doesn't want to shine out among the rest.
Most of the people from my school are darker complected so i am the one they pick on. Mind you there are some Lighter girls but they to past as black. I am just sick and tired of it I try almost everyday to tell them i am black just like you guys but they just laugh and tell me to go check a mirror.
My Phone starts to ring:
Mama said, "You're a pretty girl.
What's in your head, it doesn't matter
Brush your hair, fix your teeth.
What you wear is all that matters."
