I wanted to share some of what I’m working on in school in today’s post. Enjoy! – SBG
“Don’t take no shit off none of those girls, Kyra,” Aunt Neeta warned.
Kyra’s gaze was fixed on the mob of teenagers flooding into Central High School. She would be late for class if she didn’t hurry. “I know, Aunt Neeta, I know.”
“I’m serious.” Neeta’s tone was grave. “You let somebody think they can disrespect you, they’ll do for the next four years just cuz they know they can. One of those lil heffas comes at you wrong, beat the brakes off her ass. You understand me?”
This wasn’t a casual warning. Her aunt wouldn’t let her out of the car until she was sure they were on the same page. Kyra turned in her seat to face Neeta’s raised brow and stern expression. “Yes ma’am.”
Neeta smiled. “Good. You got your bus pass to get the shop after school, right?”
“Yup.”
“Alright. Have a good first day of school, baby.”
Kyra made it to sixth period English without incident.
