View MoreHarlem POV: Finally, school had ended for the day. I’m glad because I was tired of hearing the Teachers with their boring lectures. The feeling of being in high school is so intense that sometimes I just want to scream. I am counting down the days until I graduate. I already have plans of going back to my hometown. This boring ass town is unbearable for me to be in, so I must leave. I was placing my last book in my locker when I saw Charmaine approaching me.“Hey Harlem, how are you?”“I’m doing good how about you?”“The same, I’m glad that school have finally ended for today.”“Same here” From there Charmaine and I continue to talk, we were so embracing in our conversation that we did not notice someone appear until heard someone clearing their throat. We turn to see that it was Alana and Jackson, they stood staring at us. Jackson gave me a nod while Alana gave me a look that shows lust in her eyes. Before anyone took notice, she changes her expression and show a look of angrier
Treasure POV: Sitting here in the principal getting lecture is no fun at all. Every time I believe that the principal finished talking. He keeps ongoing on how it's not good to fight, as he continues talking, I glare at Alana. If this bitch only knew what I was feeling about her right now, I want to strangle her so badly. Having these thoughts is taking me to a dark place that I do not want to go. So, I try to keep calm, finally the principal concluded his speech. He left us off with a warning, and if next time we want to be lucky. If he only knew that this was only the beginning, finally I could leave the office. When I walk out, I saw Butterfly standing there wait for me. I could not help but to smile. It has been months since I see her. It's nice to have a friend here with me. I no longer must feel alone in this fuck up town.“Hey you waited for me?" I ask“Of course, why would I leave while my friend being scolded in the principal office?"“You have a point, let get ou
Butterfly POV: I woke up from the sunlight coming into my room through my window. I was in my new apartment; it felt strange at first because I was so used to sharing a room with someone. The feeling that I’m getting now I could not help but to smile. Finally, after a few months, Mr. Tatum could get the courts to approve me for my emancipation. The day that he told me all I could do was cry tears of joy, because for once in my life things are turning in a good direction for me it is all thanks to Mr. Tatum. I got out of bed, walked over to my closet and pull out my clothes and headed to the bathroom to take my shower. Today is the first day I start school, in a new town. What I love about it is that I get to rebuild my friendship with Treasure. I miss her so much I cannot wait to surprise her. I always wonder how she was since being released? Even though we write to each other. I was glad that Mr. Tatum pull some strings to locate Treasure and the school she was attending. Wit
Treasure POV:English class is finally finished. Exiting the classroom, I made my way to my locker to grab my books for the next classes. Placing the books in my bag, I close my locker and make my way to the cafeteria. Harlem and I are meeting up there to talk about our English paper. Upon entering the cafeteria, I scanned the room until I spotted Harlem seated at a table near the exit door.It's great that he chose the perfect spot because I don't enjoy being in the cafeteria. I prefer being alone and have no intention of making friends; it's difficult to trust people when you can't tell if they're genuine or fake. Not only that people can become judgmental when they find out you was in juvenile. Before you know you already label as a trouble maker. Also I’m not sticking around once high school ended. I need to get away from all this drama that my life had to endure, its sad that my life have turn out like this that sometimes I feel depress. There was a time in my life that I had tho
Butterfly POV:As promised, they released me a few days later. I was still in disbelief to where I thought I was dreaming. On my last day, Warden Sanders threw me a going away party. He told me he appreciates how I was an excellent role model to some girls. Also he said he knew I was a good kid, and he does not want to see me coming back here again. I agree I never wanted to be here in the first place because of circumstances I had no choice. Other girls approached me and congratulated me, while other girls gave me a look of jealousy. I did not care I was leaving no one or nothing was going to ruin my happiness. I was in my room, packing up my stuff, it was not much, a few clothes, and some books. After I finished packing, I took a look around the room that had been my home for the past two years. All the memories flowing through my mind, the good, and the bad. Once those memories faded from my mind tears fall from my eyes, I’m finally leaving all of this behind.“Rivers” I turn to
Butterfly POV: I woke up from the same nightmare of me reliving that day when I kill Barry, the day that my world end, but most of all, the day that my mother turns on me. I remember like it was yesterday after I kill the monster my mother calls the police and told them what she has witness. She told them how she saw me stabbing Barry to death. Then the police came over to me and started questioning me, in fear I told them everything from Barry raping me and getting me pregnant and how he attacked me and losing my baby. From there the police gave me a pitiful look then my mother interrupted and told the police that I was making everything up. It never happens, she also told them I was jealous of her and that monster relationship. She did so many things to where the police believed her. From there it turned my world upside down. My case went straight to trial, the courts heard my mother side of the story and it seem that the prosecutor did his best to take me down without eve
Harlem POV: The minute I step foot in my house I walk past my dining room where I saw my mother sitting on the couch flipping through a magazine. When she noticed me, she put the magazine down, and immediately approached me. “Harlem, I’m glad that I caught you.”“Hey Mom, what’s up?”“Nothing, I just want to ask you, what do you think about us going out to eat as a family? It’s been a while since we done that, I feel the best way to adjust to this town is to go out and experience the scenery.”“I don’t know Mom, I’m not up to going out” I told her not wanting to get into the reason. I did not need to tell my mother want I witness earlier today, when I caught my father cheating again. It hurt to keep this from my mother, I don’t want to see the hurt in her eyes. I know the longer I progress keeping this from her the worse it will get my mother deserves better than what my father is giving her.“I know this is difficult for us Harlem, I feel that there been World War III in this hous
Treasure POV: Once Harlem walked away from me, I took notice of how people were staring including Charmaine and Alana. I could only imagine what they were thinking, I the rumor going around about Harlem and Charmaine becoming an idol. She doesn’t need to worry about me taking him, I have no interest in him or anyone in this school. Once I graduate, I will leave all this mess behind, I’m planning on going to school somewhere up north, or maybe in the Midwest.I'm in the cafeteria and still trying to decide. I stood in line for a few minutes once I collected my food. I roamed around trying to find an unoccupied table, and that's when I noticed Harlem sitting with that jerk Jackson. Figure it seems like birds of the feather flock together. Just as I was about to turn, Harlem got up from his seat and started walking away. From the expression on his face, it was clear that Jackson said something to make him angry. I’m sure Jackson said something stupid as always. Guys like Jackson ar
Harlem POV: I step out of the shower, re-entering my room, I head over to my closet. I pulled out black jeans, a red t-shift, and my black hoodie.

I made it downstairs; I was about to head out “Harlem” I turn around to see my mother was standing there.“Yes mom?”“Why are you leaving out having no breakfast?”“I’m not hungry, I just want to go to school.”“Harlem, I have been your mother for almost eighteen years. I know when you are lying. Tell me the real reason, is it because of your father?”“To be honest yes, I just don’t want to get into another argument. I rather leave then to see him.”“Harlem don’t let that man run you out of this house. Adapting to this place can be tough for anyone. We can't let our family fall apart.
