On Sunday, we went to church because we all about Jesus in our house and Monday turned out like this.

"Today is Monday!!!
Wait why did i say it like that, i'm not even a Monday person nor a morning person." I thought as I got out of bed.

Well, I just hope it will be a bright new day, new food, hopefully new people and no drama which includes me and a Queen Bish Natalie clear zone.

This morning I awaken by the early dawn light passing through my windows, which doesn't normally happen. I checked the time and it's 5:37 am, Jimena is not awake and school starts at 8:00am.

I decide to get out of bed and started stretching.

*𝔸/ℕ: This is her bed ⬆️. *

Then I went to the adjoining bathroom which is connected to 𝒎𝒊 𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒎𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒕𝒂 and I 's bedroom.

*𝔸/ℕ: 𝖧𝖾𝗋 𝖻𝖺𝗍𝗁𝗋𝗈𝗈𝗆 , 𝗌𝗁𝗈𝗐𝗇 𝖺𝖻𝗈𝗏𝖾 𝖺𝗇𝖽 𝗍𝗁𝖾 𝖽𝗈𝗈𝗋 𝗐𝗁𝗂𝖼𝗁 𝖼𝗈𝗇𝗇𝖾𝖼𝗍𝗌 𝗁𝖾𝗋 𝖻𝖾𝖽𝗋𝗈𝗈𝗆 𝗍𝗈 𝗍𝗁𝖾 𝖻𝖺𝗍𝗁𝗋𝗈𝗈𝗆, 𝗌𝗁𝗈𝗐𝗇 𝖻𝖾𝗅𝗈𝗐.*

 I took a shower then went to Jimena's room to wake her up and dressed up in our school uniform leaving my twist braids down but putting on a head band.

I went downstairs and my mom was in and holding some berry smoothie juice and waffles with syrup and whip cream on them.

She was in casual clothes, joggers and a t-shirt a big one but not oversized.

My mom is really pretty. I'm not saying that cause she's my mom. Ok maybe I'm biased but she's Pretty!!!

She's had a journey with her body and she tells us to love the body and skin we have because she says and I quote

"Love your body and that beautiful skin because that is what the good Lord gave you and nothing is gonna change that."

I walk up to her and kiss her on the cheek and said "Bueños Dias , Mamà."

She says, "Good morning sweetie." in that sweet motherly tone. She's literally goals for me as a mom.

Then she realizes it's me and says,

"WOW you're awake and dressed at, *she glances at her watch*
"at 6:10 ,"
*and checks to see if my sister is around*, 

"And without Jimena's help and on a school day?" She says surprised because I don't always wake up early and get dresssed.

It's like when we have 29th February but in my case it's once in a while but that doesn't mean I wake up super late though.

"So what's got you up early?" She asks.  "Oh, nothing. I don't really know why I woke up this early. I guess my body was feeling like it." I respond and smile a little.

"Ok, that's nice." She says eying me a little suspiciously.

I decide to change the subject and say,
"So when are u going to the Ford's (Crawford&Gillian) firm today?"

Mom works with a very famous law firm. When we lived in Brooklyn  my mom worked at her family bakery which was quite popular and still is in our area and parts of Brooklyn, she helped Auntie Dina and Grandma while she tried to get her career on track she got the job opportunity here so we decided to move.

And now she works in a firm and her co-workers are really nice.
                                          
"Yeah, sweetie. I'm going there today." She says smiling which slightly shows her teeth. She likes helping people and getting justice especially for women and children.

She really loves her job.

She always says, "There are two sides of a story but you must be smart enough to bring out the right one."

"Are you hungry now? Because I just made some breakfast and it's in the kitchen." She says getting up to go for it for me but I tell her she shouldn't worry I'll do it.

I go to the kitchen and pour myself some pineapple juice and make some waffles and went to sit at the table while I was eating my phone started to ring.

I took it out of my pocket and when I looked at the and my eyes went wide at the name. "Who is it sweetie?" mom said with  a hint of worry in her voice, as she saw the face I was making.

"OH, um it's Shawn" I said a little bit worried.  Mom says "Oh well good luck with him." She says as she laughs and smiles.

I was shocked for a minute and pouted making her laugh even more.

So I went outside the door which joins the dinning hall to the garden and answered the call and said, "Hey Bae?!" which sounded more like a question .

"Don't you BAE me, KARLA ESPERANZA ROLAND. Why haven't you called me?  I've been waiting for your call like a complete idiot whiles Dana's been getting Kay's calls.

I'm your best friend and you haven't called me in like THREE MONTHS!!!" He shouts from the phone with an angry and hurt voice.

I cringe, now you know why I was worried.

My poor ears. I'm joking.

I hate hurting his feelings.

"I'm really sorry Shawnny, I'm really sorry. I forgot to call you."
I said as i sat on the garden chair.

"It's just I got carried away with school and it's drama." I said.

"That's no excuse to not text or call your Best friend for THREE MONTHS." He says.

"I know, I know but then why didn't you call me?" I said.

"Well I didn't want to sound too clingy and I wanted you to spend time with your new friends" He says in a much more calm tone.

"Well too bad I don't have any friends then." I said.

"What why? Is it because of that Chick or um , is it because of...." he said and paused what he said but I continued and said "-Yeah it's because of both. How do you even know about she who shall not be mentioned?" I asked.

"I have my eyes and ears everywhere" He cheekily said and I rolled my eyes.

"Hey did you just roll your eyes?"
He asked.

"Wait whaat? No!
Anyways, there's this girl, Natalie who's been prancing around like she owns the place.
It started like this, so on the first day
I said and told him what happened that day and what's been happening now.

He said "Well I guess she did what she wanted. I can't actually believe she's Kay's friend but I'm sure you'll make some friends just keep trying.
Join a group? Do things like that I guess? And if you need anything just call me and I'll come straight to Seattle. Your in Sunnyvale right?."

"Yeah that's the place. Thanks for listening to my sob story.
I guess I'll try to 'join a group'.
Boy, at this rate your tryna be my second Mama.

Anyways I gotta go we've been talking since 6:15 and it's 7:20 now. So I have to go to school. Bye. Love you." I said.

"Don't let her bring you down your better than that. Love you too. Tell Mama Roland I love her more. Bye." He says and I laugh and hang-up.

Shawn is the only guy who I really really care about (don't tell Marcus).

Shawn and I have been friends since we were 11, well he turned 12 two days after but anyways, I saw him or more like met him at the park.

That day, I was at the park with Marcus who was 15 at the time.
I was having a bad day (Ximena and I had fought) and he decided to cheer me up. So we were at the park and he decided to go buy me hotdogs.

When Shawn saw me he didn't stare at me in disgust or like I was an alien or the maybe even the cracken or Godzilla like most people.

He stared at me, mesmerized,
like I was the most beautiful thing he had seen. Which weirded me out, not going to lie but do you know the funny thing he said?

He told me,"Woah, your eyes look so pretty to buy me a thousand chicken nuggets.", with a toothy grin which showed his braces, still looking mesmerized.

And I being the silly girl I was just burst out laughing at the poor brown haired boy in his cute braces who looked confused at that point. After I had realized I was behaving silly I composed myself and told him thanks but my eyes were not worth anything.

Then, he insisted that they were and  told me that they were extremely valued and they could even buy a diamond ring and that I shouldn't devalue it because it is a gift I should embrace the fact that I'm different.

I was shocked for a second there and just looked at him like WOW.
Then he left.

The next time I met him it was a few blocks away from my Grandma's, I was at the balcony just admiring the view and then I saw him. He was running away from an older man who I later found out was his father.
His father was chasing him up the road screaming out, "Where's the beer, Shawn? Where's the damn beer, boy?"

And Shawn was running but then there was a crack in the side walk and he happened to trip over it and with that his father managed to catch up to him and he caught him. When he caught him he started shaking the life out of Shawn and with that I run downstairs calling for my Grandma and my dad. Grandma was not feeling that great so it was only mom and Auntie Dina at the bakery.

Leaving  Grandma and Dad as the only adults here.

I called them and told them what was happening Dad went outside whiles I stayed with Grandma and called 911.

Before 911 got here there was little fight so Dad had a little bruise and cut but he survived however Shawn may not have been physically hurt that day but he was definitely hurt the poor boy was in shock when 911 came.

When they came they did their investigation and found out Shawn was being abused (obviously) with his father being an alcoholic and being his only support since his mother had left not being able to deal with an alcoholic husband.

So child services decided to put him in foster care for a while as they tried to find his mom. 

And thankfully he did not have to be in the system for long because they found his mom.

I'm much more familiar with her and she is a very nice woman, sweet and understanding her only flaw was being afraid and leaving Shawn.

Shawn was in a limbo though quite confused about everything that was happening and I somehow became his friend during that time period and here we are now.

I love him so much, he's literally another brother and I hate hurting his feelings. It makes me feel like I just ruined a part of my happiness.

Yep. It's that deep.

Anyways, I go back to the dining room to see Jimena with a plate of half eaten food.

"Good morning, sis" I say with a smile. She smiles back and says
"Good morning."

I tell her Shawn called.

Minutes later, we are in the car almost in school. School is an eighteen minutes walk from the house and by car it's 7 minutes.

Now are at the school parking lot.
I have English first , then Math with Jimena then 5 more periods then we are done with school.

I went to my English class in which surprisingly almost every one is present. Like people it's Monday
Anyways I went to sit in my seat.

A few minutes later, since Mrs. Terrain had not come I started reading the paperback copy of a book which I had pre ordered and finally arrived, called Violà as I read, in the corner of my eye, I saw 'she who shall not be named' walking towards me.

She stood there, right in front of me waiting to be noticed but I was not going to even bother. So she stood there but I mean who would not notice the oversprayed scent she was carrying, which made my nose crinkle.I was trying so hard not to have a coughing fit at that point.

I'm literally about to be diagnosed with OversprayPerfumetosis coma. 

However she and her minions stood there for like two minutes after me not noticing them.

Natalie snatched my book out of my grasp.

I asked her nicely to give it back my book but she didn't. She told me if I want it I should come and get it.

I asked again and told her I don't have time for this.
Then she tossed it to her friends they tossed it back and forth and finally they stopped and she was holding it.

Do you know what she did next?

OH MY Heavenly....

She tore a page of the book out.

OH MY........
I gasped and then I punched her in the face.

Even though I read books and may mistakenly tear them, rarely.
Even when I throw the books because no offense to authors but some of the characters act stupid.

It doesn't mean anyone should tear a book, especially, intentionally.

(Well if it was the end of high school I'd probably have a bonfire and use the text books but y'all get what I'm tryna say tho)

It turns out the teacher materialised out of thin air when I punched her.
Like, don't y'all hate it when that happens.

Ms. Terrain rushed up to the two of us examined Natalie's face and said,
"Oh my! Who did this?"

Natalie smirks at me then when the teacher looks back at her she puts on this fake cry face and she points at me then everyone else joined her and pointed at me.

Oh, c'mon?

What is this? Second grade.

I rolled my eyes but then as I looked at Ms. Terrain's face I knew what would be coming next, in 3...2..1.

"PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE!! NOW!" She yells.

"Yes, ma'am" I say.
And she sends me to the the Principal's office.
