"Beep, Beep" I heard the irritating sound of my alarm clock. I reached over to turn it off and instead rolled off my bed and met the cold hardwood floor. I looked at the clock and saw that it was 7:45. Shit I was running late I hurried up and got off the floor and ran to the bathroom to take a shower. When I got out it was 8:10, I had 20 minutes left to get ready and I still had to get dressed and straighten my hair. I ran to my closet to get my clothes I decieded to wear a pair of white shorts, a pink halter and my pink baby doll shoes.

I hurried up got dressed when I was done it was 8:24 I didn't have time to straighten my hair so instead I put it in a messy ponytail. I grabbed my pocketbook and my keys. Just when I was getting ready to walk out the door my phone rang. I looked down at the caller ID and saw that it was Monae.

"Hello?" I said when I answered the phone

"Girl you want believe what just happened to me" my best friend said on the other end

"What?"

"How about I heard Josh is caking with a white girl" she said

"What! When did you hear that? Who told" I started asking questions faster than she could answer them.

"Dopey told me she saw him and that little blonde hefa at McDonalds all hugged up and kissing" Monae told me, Dopey is our other best friend her real name is Passion but Monae always has called her Dopey since we were in the 8th grade.

"What the hell you gone do then?" I asked her while cranking up my all black Eclipse.

"I aint gone do a damn thing I'm gone let him do him and go find me another boo" she said. That was always what she did. Unlike most girls Monae never stayed hung up on any boy. If he wasn't worth her time she dropped him like it wasn't nothing and found a new boo.

"Where the hell is you at anyway hunny? You need to get your ass here like right now" she told me

"Why what's so important " I asked her I was right down the street from the school but I was still wondering what was making her rush me.

"You know my cousin Tasha is suppose to be fighting that light skinned hoe today and I know you don't want to miss that" she told me matter-of-factly

"Iight I pulling into the school parking lot right now where you at" I asked her

"I'm in the front, Girl hurry up they up here arguing right now" I could hear all kinds of bitches and hoes being screamed in the background.

I hurried and pulled into the first empty parking space I saw. I grabbed my Gucci bag and got out my car. I pushed the automatic lock on my key ring and ran to the front of my high school.

When I got there I could see Passion and Monae standing in front of Tasha and the girl that she was about to fight. Before I could blink Tasha swung off on the other girl and caught her in the side of her jaw. The girl fell back hard on the ground and Tasha jumped on top her and started punching her in the face. The light skin girl started pulling Tasha's hair and you better believe Tasha was not going for that. She picked the girl up off the ground and turned her around so that she could get some good hits to the girls face.

Suddenly the two were pulled apart by the Principal and the school police officer. They were lead to the office. When they had disappeared into the school everybody started talking about who won. Of course it had been Tasha I mean be for real the other girl barely got any hits in. I looked at Passion and she looked at Monae.

"Damn" all three of us said in unison. We started laughing while we walked into the building to our lockers.

"I told that girl she was going to get her ass whooped" Monae said referring to the "light skin hoe", who I recently learned real name was Latoya.

"I know right Tasha did her ass up I bet that will keep her from running her damn mouth so much" Passion said

The three of us were at our lockers, when I felt a pair of strong arms wrap around my waist

"Hey baby" whispered a velvet voice in my ear.
