Being a teenage girl in Richmond Virginia could be a curse or a blessing. But being a teenage student at Richmond High, well that could be a whole lot different. This story shows how life is like for a teenage girl and her last year of high school. Friendship, Love, Betrayal, and a whole lot of drama that her and her friends will have to go through. This is my story.

My Name is Armani Denise Mercy Beaumanior or Mani. I'm eighteen years old and I am senior at Richmond High. I'm 5'10 with very long legs. Out of all my friends I'm the most diverse and the only black one which doesn't bother me. I'm mixed with African American, British, French Creole, Jamaican. I also speak fluent French when I'm either piss or with certain friends who understand me. It was a warm day in Richmond which is rare cause it's the middle of September and it's always cold.. Once I got up and took a shower I changed into a pair of dark skinny jeans black tight t-shirt and black, white and red Nike hi-tops. After I fix my hair I went downstairs and said bye to my pops who was on the phone and gave me a hug and wish me good luck. I asked him if I could bring a friend over after school and he said it would be fine and I left to wait for the bus. After a few minutes of waiting outside the bus finally came. When I got on I heard a familiar voice.

"Armani?" she said and I knew who it was.

"Melina ,Oh My God you look different."I said giving her a hug. The last time I saw her she had brown long hair and always wear sweats. Now She has Black hair with blonde highlights and wearing a red top and a black miniskirt.

"Me, look at you. You cut your hair and you got more piercings." She said as we sat down. I have to admit I change too. Before I had long hair but then I got sick of it so I just cut the damn thing off and now I have a black Mohawk and had my ear completely pierced. Like Obama said, "Time for a change."

"Thanks. So what have you been up to?"

"Well me and Morrison broke up; he cheated on me with get this JILLIAN." She said in disgust and I laugh.

"Don't worry girl your better without him."

"Yeah. So what about you?"

"Me and Brian broke up for the same exact reason but different person."

"Oh well at least we starting off our year single."

"Yeah." I said as we pull up at our school. Richmond High. Probably the most drama fill school and also the biggest in Richmond. Almost everyone knows everyone in the school.

"You ready to deal with these bitches again?" She asked me as I turned to her.

"Absolutely." I said as we walked in the school. Once we got in the hallway we saw our other friends Lita, Trish, and Mickie.

"Armani, Melina!!"They screamed running to give us a hug. That what happens when we see each other. We bolted from what we were doing a run the hug them.

"How ya'll been."Mel asked them.

"Great and Single." They all said at the same time and we started laughing.

"Same Here."

"Well good this is a sign for us that we don't need any baggage from the past and we should start our senior off good." Trish preached as we all look at her like she was crazy. But that her always preaching about something.

"You sure are preaching aren't you Trish."Mickie said.

"I do my best."She giggled. I was going to say something but the bell rang and we part to go to our first period class. As me and melina said bye to the others we walked to our History class and I bump into someone and I fell.

"I'm sorry." I said. "So much for staring off good." I thought.

"No I'm sorry I wasn't watching were I was going."A deep voice said as he help me up.

"No it's alright." I said as I look up and my I was speechless. He was 6'5 with tan skin with his short black hair and beautiful brown eyes that made me fucking melt.

'I'm Dave Batista." He offered his hand.

"I'm Armani Beaumanior or you can call me Mani." I shook his hand.

"Wow that's really unique name."

"Thanks yours is too."

"Thanks." He said as he gave me this bright smile that made me melt.

"Well I got to get going to class." I said walking down the hall.

"Um... what class you got."

"History."

"So do I. We can walk together." He said catching up to me.

"Okay." I said as we together. We started talking some more in the hallway and he seem really cool. Once we got to class I saw Mel smiling at me and knowing Mel I was going to hear it after class. The teacher was about to start the roll call and I sat next to Dave and started making jokes about the teacher and I couldn't stop laughing. Then he glared at me and Dave and I started my work. "Dave he seem so nice."I thought.

Dave's P.O.V.

"Damn she's beautiful."I thought as I look at Armani. She was different from the other girls I knew. She gave me this vibe that wanted to get to know her better. "Why am I feeling like this?"
