Felix - Home sweet home...or not

I'M WAITING FOR Busk to drive him and Tyreece to school. When he finally gets in he says, "Sorry about that, man. Damn Tyreece was too stubborn to go to school today. Sayin' that he sick even though yesterday he was totally fine."

"It's okay. But we only have four minutes until school so Imma brave fast. Hold on!"

Even though I sped, we go to school late. we get out of the car as I say, "Bro, if I get another tardy, my Gramma's gonna kill me!"

"I already apologized."

"I know. I just don't want my car taken away." We spread ways as we go to class...

At lunch, Charli sits in front of me, "Bro!"

"Okay, why are you screaming?" Ray says unplugging an earbud out of his ear.

"Because check this out!" He shows us a girl with frizzy hair, tan skin, and freckles smiling with the whitest teeth in the planet.

"Bruh, that's a model or a catfish," Ray lets out a miserable sigh.

"Yeah, that ain't no real girl," Busk says, "Cuz if she was, she'd already be mine."

"No, she's mine and she's real. She lives in the yellow house..." I block out the reast of the words as the words yellow house ponder in my head. I feel as if Maria's never coming out of jail. As if Maria doesn't exsist in the world anymore. Charli's voice booms in my ears, "Uh, Felix, you okay?"

Huh? "Oh," I lie. "Yeah, I'm good."
