"BEEEEEEP P BEEEEEP" Tasha rolled over to turn her alarm off. She wiped the crust from her eyes as she smelled biscuits, bacon and the sweet smell of waffles her mom always made before school.

As she walked downstairs her mother admiring her always telling her how beautiful she was. She had long black straight hair, she was average height, and a pretty skinny girl. When she was younger she used to get picked on about her size and come crying to her mom, so her mom believes she should always compliment her every chance she gets. Tasha sat down next to her 9 year old sister Asya as there mom gave them their plates kissed them on the forehead and was off to work.

Tasha got Asya and herself ready walked her to the bus stopped and ran to catch hers. As Tasha walked into school waiting on her best friend Amanda. She was always late because she wanted to look her best all the time. Amanda was a little taller than Tasha and way thicker all the boys were always on her. She found Amanda and ran up to her so they could do there daily hug in front of the staircase.

The odd thing about these two girls was that Tasha was a year younger than Amanda and in a whole different grade and nothing about them was alike. “Best Friend I have to tell you about this boy I met this weekend” Amanda says excited. “Ok start” Tasha asked as they were walking to there class. “Ok so he’s super cute, tall, brownskin, low cut, with a car girl”.

You could tell she was super excited about meeting this guy.I’m going to see him today after school, you wanna come?” she asked, “I would, but I have to get home and get Aysa my moms working overtime today.” They walked to class and never said anything else about him.Tasha got home and waited for her sister’s bus to get home. She walked to the bus stop were Aysa came running towards her yelling “I missed you!!” “I missed you too” she called back. They walked home and Asya went straight to the kitchen to find something to eat.

“Mama said you need to do your homework, so after you eat get to it” said Tasha “Ok” replied back Asya. Tasha went upstairs and got onto facebook. As she logged on and saw she had a new inbox. It was from somebody name Marcus. She went to looked on his page and was thinking he’s really cute. The message said “Hey beautiful” ,and she couldn’t believe it, no boy has ever came to her liked that. She replied back a with a “Hey” and nothing else she didn’t want to look desperate. As she was scrolling down he replied back fast she was surprised and read the message. “Wyd.” “Homework and scrolling down Facebook” she replied. They talked all night and and every day after that.

Tasha and Marcus have been talking so much lately. He was totally different from the guys she usually liked. Marcus was in a gang, sold drugs, he even shot somebody. Tasha just let that all fly over her head though because she really liked him and he was real cute.

"OMG best friend I met this boy he’s so cute, he treats me nice and texts me all the time” she told Amanda. “I’m happy for you bestie we should go on a double date” she replied back. “Yea that would be great.” They gave each other hugs and walked there separate way to their classes. “Can I come get you today after you get out of school” said a message that popped up on Tasha phone. It made her smile as she read the name “Marcus with heart faces” “Yea” Tasha replied back happily.

Marcus drove to a park that was close by Tasha house. They were sitting for so long Tasha mama called her so much that she told him to take her home. "Before you leave give me a kiss" Marcus said "Tasha was so nervous because she never kissed a boy. He grabbed her by her neck kissed her on the lips. In the inside Tasha was screaming thrilled she ran out the car forgetting to say bye.

Tasha ran in the house slammed the door loud forgetting what time it was. She kept her back on the door and her mom came from the kitchen yelling “Where have you been little girl?” “Out with a friend” she replied. “And who is this friend that’s keeping you out this late” her mom replied back still yelling. “His name is” she couldn’t even get it out before she smacked her and replied “You were with a boy”

“Mama why are you hitting me, why can’t I hang with boys I’m a junior in highschool he’s only a freshman in college there's nothing wrong with that” Tasha said. Her mom put her hand up, but before she could swing Tahsa ran ducked and missed the slap. “Get up stairs and go to sleep you're not going anywhere, but school and home your grounded and I mean it”.

The next day Tasha told Amanda everything that happened. “Why is she tripping it's not like you were doing something wrong” “That’s what I said.” “In my opinion I think you should go back out with him” Amanda said. Me and that I told you about are hanging today you want to come with us?” “Nah I'm just going go home”. Tasha came home did her usual routine. She talked to Marcus until she went to sleep. The next night her and Marcus were texting “Can you come get me” Tasha asked

“Isn’t your mom home?” he questioned “Yea I’m going sneak out” “Ok I’ll be there in 15 minutes” he texted back. As she was getting ready spraying cherry blossom perfume on she got a text “Outside” She hopped out her window and ran to the car. They went to his house talked, sexual intercourse and felled asleep. She woke up and yelled because she was late to school. Marcus woke up told her to calm down and dropped her off at school.

She got to school late and wasn’t feeling very well. “Can I go to the bathroom” asked Tasha “Yes are feeling ok you look really sick” Ms.Boomerang asked “Yes I’m fine.” She rushed out the room to the closest bathroom were she threw her gut out. Tasha walked to the nurse to tell the she had threw up. She told them her symptoms were they gave her a pregnancy test so she took it. The test came back in bold letter PREGNANT. “You want me to call your mom” the nurse asked “No its ok I’ll just go back to class” The nurse wrote a note and off to class Tasha went. It was the end of the day and Tasha was glad she couldn’t focus in class, she had to throw up at every smell she smelled, and she couldn’t even talk to her best friend she was just unbelievable about it all.
