"Tracy? Why the hell would I fly any where for six dollars you know that doesn't sound right?"
"Girl my cousin Shakera's boyfriends baby mama's play cousin work at the airport and she always gets us cheap tickets. The only thing is you may not like your seats."
"I bet for six dollars...not thank you."

"Well, don't say I didn't offer."
We got off the bus and sat in the school's courtyard.

We were always early so we could just chill before classes actually got started. Tracey and I grabbed a cup of coffee and started talking and laughing until it was time for class.

I went to one of the biggest high schools in my area. There were so many people, but I felt just like a number in that big school. I grabbed my books I went to my first class then my phone started vibrating. My stepmother told me to come home after lunch to clean the car and fix her some lunch. This lady had to be crazy to call me home to make her lunch and miss my lunch. Being at school was the one time of day I could get away from her.

I ignored the text, figuring that I could justify my absence when necessary.

After going through a long day at school I took the bus over to my job at the Waffle House. I was fortunate enough to keep my job when the owner made cuts in the budget. The Waffle House has been bringing me closer and closer to my dreams of leaving, especially with my paycheck.

"Cindy," my coworker Susan said as I entered the building. "Vickie needs you."
Vickie was my boss. She was a cool chick. I noddsd as I headed towards her office. She was wearing a huge smile when I walked in. "Hey, Vickie."

"Hey Cindy I have the perfect dress for you to wear."
"Dress?"
"Yes a dress. I know your prom is coming up and I want you too kill them in this dress."
"Vicki you know my step mother won't let me go anywhere."
"Well just come here and I get ready. I'll cover for you."
"But I don't want you to get fired."
"Fired? Thats the least of my worries. She won't fire me because I'm the only one keeping this place together aside from the few workers we have.

"Well... Okay. Do you have it now?"
She shook her head, pulled out her phone, then showed me a picture of a light blue gown. It was floor-length and obviously costed a grip.

"Vickie I can't-"
"I insist." She said cutting me off. "I want you to wear this. You only get one prom so you're wearing it."

I knew from past experience that trying to argue with Vickie would prove to be futile, so I gave in. "Thanks, Vickie, I owe you one."
"No, you don't. Just have fun." She gave me a quick hug. "Now, get to work, Cindy. See me before you leave."

I smiled I washed my hands before grabbing my apron. I picked up a tray and served the tables that needed drink refills.

I was having a genereally good day at work. That is, until Zonnique walked in.
"I think we have trouble, Cindy," Susan said as she motioned towards my stepsister.
"I know," I replied, eyeing her suspiciously. "Go get Vickie."

Vickie came out of her office and when she saw Zonnique she sighed. Zonnique was walking around the restaurant like she owned the place and everyone seem to be annoyed by her presence.

Vickie walked up to Zonnique and greeted her. They talked for about thirty seconds before Vickie got irritated. She motioned towards the door, but Zonnique didn't move. I couldn't hear their conversation, but I knew things were about to go downhill. Vickie was normally cool, but disrespectful kids was something she didn't tolerate.

"Look you are not my mother." I heard Zonnique yell.
I could tell Vickie wasn't trying to make a scene so she talked real low. "Look just leave before things get ugly."
"Is that a threat?" Zonnique was yelling causing the whole restaurant to have all eyes on her.

"Zonnique, you obviously didn't come here to eat, so why are you here?"
"Maybe I did come here to eat."
"Maybe you didn't. Now go before I have you forcefully removed."
"That was definitely a threat." She pulled out her phone as if she was going to call the police. I don't know what she planned on telling them, but that proboably wouldn't work in her favor.

"Zonnique!" I said walking over to her. "Put the phone down."
She looked me up and down. "What?"
"Chill out just leave stop doing to much." I said quietly to her.

She looked at me like I was speaking a new language.
"Leave," I repeated.
