"Goodmorning Namiah, take a seat anywhere, we're starting our mule today." Mrs.Tejda smiled

"morning" i spoke taking a seat in the back

i put my head down listening to the music in my airpods. I started my period, my momma wanted to get into it with me and my daddy took her side. i'm just all types of irritated.

"Goodmorning Reese and Tanya take a seat anywhere , we're starting our mule today" she repeated

i didn't raise my head but i felt somebody breeze past me.

"Hey friend" Deja spoke loudly moving her desk next ta mine

"hey" i yawned "my bad." i put my head back ona wall

"Reese and cane come over here" Rayna said

i smacked my lips keeping my eyes closed

"what's tea??" Deja instigated

"what's up" Cane said

"Well i see the group in the back is already ahead of everyone else. why don't we start" Mrs.Tejda said "Please let's sit up guys." she sighed

i opened my eyes seeing she was looking directly at me

Don't piss me off.

"i want 4 groups of 5, you can choose who. i have 5 categories your group will choose from and create pieces abt that topic, you want to paint on your part of the  mural. The categories are Poverty, Race, Wealth, Health, and Greed. first come first serve." she says as she sits behind her desk

"Get Race." Cane said

"go fucking get it cause ian getting up" Deja said

i laughed.

"don't shit be funny" Reese mumbled

i didn't even feed into it, instead i got on my phone.

"No Phones please." Mrs.T said

"ite at this point you just saying shit once you see me do it." i mugged her

"No i'm sorry if you feel that way." She said taken back

"yea fuck on. cause now everybody wanna piss me off today." i said getting tempted to leave out this bitch.

"what's wrong love?" Rayna said

"none." i told her getting back on my phone

"mfs must be on they period" Reese said

i grabbed the pencil in front of me and tossed it at him.

"Nah that ain't do it fa me." i grabbed a marker from the board behind me and i threw it at him.

he picked it back up and threw it at me.

i grabbed rayna book bag and tossed it at his head.

"get up." he said throwing her bookbag across the room.

i laughed at him and went back ta my phone.

"my bookbag??" she said

"get out my face weirdo." i rolled my eyes

"naw get yo stupid ass up." he said

"nigga mad and shit." i laughed looking at deja

"please don't bring me into this, he look like he can pick up thors hammer" she said trying not to make eye contact with him

"i'm fuckin crying" i started laughing uncontrollably

he tilted my seat making me fall.

he started laughing and that really did it for me, i rolled my eyes trying not to cry.
