WU
Legs crossed on each other, my eyes navigated each face that they wore with their chairs voluntarily forming a circle. Lydia's face turned to both sides as she flashed a smile as a sign of greeting.
Her gaze suddenly halted on me before she opened her mouth to speak.
"Wu" She softly called with a smile.
"Don't you have something to say?" She asked as I uncrossed my legs, sitting up.
"Well, i feel i have to now. I didn't figure you'd remember" I said as I maintained a lopsided smirk.
"Tomorrow makes it thirty days" I said it casually followed by a few murmurs. "I've been sober for thirty days, bitches" I said, enthusiastically, nodding to their claps.
"And we have something for you" Lydia said after a round of applause, before reaching unto the table.
"Here you go" She said with a smil

The disciplinary board had emailed me, they had come to a decision regarding the cheating scandal and whether or not, I could complete my final year examinations."It's going to be fine. That can't terminate admission, you're a star student" He said as he adjusted my hair that peeped through my silver colored hijab-shiny, but for good luck.I wore it the day i applied for the scholarship that got me to where i was, today.

The noises of the impaled my ears, slowly sulking me into a form of hypnosis to telling the truth as I began to zone out."Ms Baie" His voice dashed me back to reality as I just stared like a deadbeat, my hands slumped tightly in the handcuffs. Soon, life was a heavy cross to bear.I didn't sleep, I couldn't sleep."You want to tell us the truth now?" The investigators that oversaw the arrests asked, now comfortably sitting opposite me.My eyelids were heavy, begging to be closed as my uncle just nodded as a form of reassurance."I've come to a deal" Douglas s

MARIAI halted in the lot before i put down my windows-"Hey" I called her attention before they opened the doors to come in.Her clothes were different, she was out of those orange uniforms but her mood changed. Evidently stuck on her face was a frown, one i could was of disappointment."Jacq" I called, looking into the rear view mirror once she settled and she just looked away."Please, just move" She whispered, not even turning to look at me. "Just move?" I echoed as her elbows rested on the window frame before i sighed."I ran across miami to pick you up and i thought the least i could get was a greeting" I remarked before i ignited the engines. "She had a rough time. She'll get over it" Her uncle replied as i reversed to the roads.I hope despite everything, this was the last time she ever stepped her foot in here.****

KALEOTHE NIGHT OF THE MURDERThe bleeding scars. The bitter truth-and the gruesome reality.One touch, and palms enveloped my my lips, urging me to yell, to bite -but the only one hurt was me, the hands pulled me away from the kitchen.The metallic clang was enough to alert the person behind the mask and as i heard the shivering sounds, i was terrified. And then in a spontaneous moment of trying to break free, i kicked as hard as I could, pushing both of us to the ground.We both struggled to stand as he reached for the knife that fell to the ground while I made an attempt to run free.I was weak, having already being stabbed as I staggered to the edge of the balcony, before suddenly i felt the weight of hands around my lips, allowing me to trip over.

I knew she struggled, back when Elizabeth died, but she put so much work and her promises-her goddamn promise never to leave me.And each second i was on edge, finally persuaded to attend her funeral, to bade her one last heart wrenching goodbye."You should have some rest" Maria suddenly whispered, enveloping my palms with hers as she tilted the ring on my fingers."It will soon be over" She assured.

WUGazing over my shoulders cautiously, i still stirred my brewing cup of tea in the awkward silence-only the metal tea spoon stirring against the sides of my mug as our eyes caught.With some sort of disgust, she still looked away, having no words for me still. My grandmother and I seldomly got along but her judgemental silence was nothing you'd wish to deal with."I'm gay"I had told her before her eyes gestured a million words her lips couldn't speak. "You know I'm just gay, i didn't murder" I finally muttered, not looking away from the swirling of freshly brewed tea."Just gay?" She echoed with a sigh that seemed to unburden her shoulders."I'm not less of your granddaughter neither am I less of a woman because I'm gay" I immediately snapped, almost angered."So have you known this all your life and you just decided to drop this on m-"

AALIYAHSome things,-are bound to happen.We call them accidents, because we never expected them. Unfortunate because we never wanted them.And devastating, because we dreaded them.They say this things come for a purpose, to make us stronger and we must learn to embrace a new challenge-to determine that our sorrows won't overcome our joy and our pains won't cover our gains.That these things either shape us or break us, it defines us if we let it-it just depends if we're ready, ready to take it by the horns and defeat it.Because they also said these things were never meant to conquer us.~I could use a whole of speeches as I sat, my legs swung beneath the hospital bed, begging to fall to the ground and i cleared my throat.The doctor had seemed longer this time and i often sighted him dash

She just sends me these errands but she might be angry about-" She paused as I halted, looking to her."I might have maybe told her i was gay" She said and i just remained quiet as we marched on the same block we already checked twice, maybe even thrice.Then all of a sudden, she gasped, running towards a building of shops with her face washed with relief.In the same direction, someone who i guessed was her grandmother by the striking resemblance, innocently sat on a chair."See, she's safe.
