Right, so I was fully expecting to go to college just a little bit ago. I had on a cute outfit, had my hair done immaculately, the perfect acrylic nails, my bag was packed and I was kissing the ghetto goodbye ready to start classes at a respectable but not debt soul-crushing college!
Well, a little less debt soul-crushing anyway. I mean this was AMERICA. If you don't conform to factory work or retail you pay ....Whatever so I had a crap ton of grants so what?! Living in the ghetto had to give me something good for once! And I may have spiced up some of my ethnicity....but a girl gotta do what a girl gotta do to not work as a cashier at Walmart hell anymore.
I was going in for some basic business courses, with some culinary. The plan was to open up a cute little book store, that was also an internet cafe. Books and the internet kept me happy my whole childhood when I was dropped off at the public library and I wanted to give back to the world while also earning a living. Do you know? Charity is for the rich!
Oh, here I am talking all about myself again! Crap! Vanity is what got me into this mess.
Alright so here's what went down. I was busy packing my bags and humming to myself and tossing my braids back while I hummed along to the neighbor's loud as hell radio that was vibrating through the walls. Normally this inconsiderate asshole would have angered me but had no intention of sleeping in that room I had claimed as mine most of my life ever again so the loud music was like a reminder of how much better life was about to be.
"Nun nun nun hollar back gurl...."
I froze.
Was my asshole metal head loser neighbor seriously listening to gwen Stefanie? Wtf was this the 2000s?! Usually it was metallica or guns and roses. Was he ok?
"Nope, not my problem!" I decided i had better things to do them figure out if he finally caught his girlfriend cheating on him or not . Wasn't ever gonna see the guy again.
What? I swear im not nosy these walls are paper thin...
I let out a deep sigh and hopefully opened my door ready to go to my beautiful life when suddenly there was the sound of a gunshot and well....
Ok so you know how I said the walls were like super thin?
Yeah so I was dead now.
