Chapter 1
Introduction
As I stood outside in front of an ice cream shop in our neighborhood selling alongside my sisters in our short shorts I looked into the eyes of the person standing in front of me I could almost see my reflection, the beautiful reflection of a young teen who is trying so hard to find herself, as I could see his eyes losing connection with my dark green iris and lower to look at my chest.
I also and rolled my eyes at him to look at the kids playing football in the street.
I sold the poor bastard the water bottle and continued to suck my lollipop and looking ahead of me. Then he walked off. I swung my head back to glance at the clear blue sky as I tried my best to hide from the hot sun.
1. Hey, what ah gwan, what's popping, how do you do? My name is Sasha, but not Sasha Fierce, its Sasha Destiny. TL (what ah gwan) what's up
Today is a fairly warm day, we had to wash off our faces twice and dry with rags. Which makes it better to understand why we are in these shorts and belly skin tops.
Reason we have these transparent plastic bags on our backs is because we're selling juice and water with little snacks.
The only reason I'm talking to you in English right now is because the creator of this story hopes to reach a wider audience one day.
But truthfully if this is really the story of my life then it lame, people my age only care about money and fame.
In addition to the sun being hot, it's a windy afternoon and all three of us are trying to sell because we're broke.
The eldest sister's name is Selena. She’s also the tallest one, even though she's around 5 ft. inches something that's how short we are. She's round and plump and has long black creamed hair and dyed the end of it green.
Brown eyes and on her right arm filled with bangles and tanned complexion. She mostly wears her hair up or in a bun with a bang to the side of her face. Her body looks very mature seeing that she is 18 years old.
The sister after her is Sabrina. She's the spunkiest and the foodie, she always enjoys the company of friends and going out. She enjoys seafood and likes to go out with friends to the beach and catch fish or crab. She have thick curly black hair at the roots and also dyed the end of it blue.
The youngest one is me, Sasha. How to describe me. I am more of a goofy person, very outspoken and bold. I am the pink head one though girl never had to dye her hair, girl just born with pink long hair. Even though I stand here wearing a cap and sheltering myself with an umbrella. I like people to get to know me cause I'm very friendly but if you don't serve any purpose I don’t see myself wasting time with people.
We went around persuading people to buy from us, by walking up to them or just yelling so that other people can hear.
We sometimes go to town to sell or like today sell in our neighborhood. When dinner time came we went to the nearest store and bought some canned food and one pound of rice as we complained about how hungry we were.
I then turned to them and said, “Well just glad mommy passed har teaching course finally, she can finally work and we might start to see some cash in the house this year.”
Sabrina, who was standing outside the store, “Yeah but still man can't live on bread alone, we have to start budget our money so we can buy back the things to sell.” She says holding the food in a plastic bag. She had on her roller skates and was riding while doing a couple tricks. When she does her tricks it attracts some customers at times since people are not used to seeing a girl skating.
Me, Sabrina and Selena all came home where we found our mother Sherise at home curling her hair and painting her toes all at once while on the phone talking very loudly about how she was working as a substitute teacher and shouted at a kid for talking too much in class and that she got fired for threatening to kill him.
We looked disappointed and a bit annoyed then started looking in the kitchen for food. We started grumbling.
I opened the fridge door and saw the chicken that was taken out of the freezer to cook and kept looking at it then suddenly had the urge to eat the raw chicken, it’s like I heard this voice in my head telling me to. Which I took a piece of the flesh and ate it then grabbed a canned strawberry juice to wash it down then shake my head and hurried to close the door.
Confused by my own actions I then decided that we will go to the library since mom is so loud and we wanted to check for any summer jobs on the computer.
Selena agreed to stay and cook and add on to the dinner since she was really hungry.
We go to the library to search for summer jobs when I bounce into Dre where we had an interesting interaction.
Dre is one of the popular guys at our school, I had a crush on him for a while but I was in another relationship.
Dre is older than me being a tall chocolate skinned toned 18 year old in 5th form he is very athletic and good looking he mostly wears his hair low with a faded cut. Brown eyes and a nice smile. He always wore his guard ring. It looks like the one Vybz Kartel wore. I would talk to him occasionally but today it seems that he was now flirting with me.
I inquired about why he's at the library where he explains that he has a chemistry assignment and needs help. I lied about being really good in chemistry even though I mostly get B plus. I agreed to help him and to study with him.
He then invites me to a club and I tried making a few excuses then remembered my mom is at home shouting so I decided to go and said it to my sister Sabrina.
The club was called Three Musketeers where I was dancing with Dre.
He offers me something to drink and I start to whine and grind on him.
While standing at the bar I see him lighting his blunt and ask if I can get a puff, “You smoke, I can build you one.'' He says and starts to rub out the weed.
“Thanks, alcohol don't really do it for me for some reason.” My stomach started to growl and I was a bit embarrassed.
Then Dre smiles and asks if I want him to buy some food which I thanked him for. I ask him if he knows of any summer job available and he asks why I want one. I say that I need the money.
Dre looks at me then makes a strong eye contact and tells me that it's hard to get jobs as a teen and that with my dancing skills, I'm better off stripping. I laughed it off and started smoking and dancing on him while he was sitting down. I tell him that I have been dancing ever since my eye was at my knee. He then tells me to go on the pole and he will throw money at me, at this point I am already high and said I wouldn't mind the money so just like that I started to dance and whine. He takes out his money out his pocket and then I started to whine on the pole and then he starts to throw money at me while smirking.
I started swinging and dance on the pole and other guys started throwing money my way. Sabrina charms in giving me some of the drink that was given to her by a guy that was flirting with her, we then throw the rest on each other and dancing very erotic together. Both of us started getting money thrown at us and it starts to draw a bit of attention that even some of the dancers and workers started to wonder if we are new workers since people come and go at that club.
Later on in the night a dancer walked up to us asking if we were the new dancers and complementing our dance. I mean it's nothing that we don't already know.
"Maybe you too should work here." Cassie said she's been there for two years now and seemed a bit excited to see two girls in her age bracket that she could see herself getting along with.
She had a really strong and thick body it's evident that she works out or lift weights almost seem like she had some work done on her chest and butt, but who am I to judge I think she looks great in her yellow lace front wig and her makeup cake was a chief's kiss that it was holding up in the warm sweaty club.
She told us that the house mom told her to talk to us and if we are interested we can let them know. We all talked more for a while and exchanged numbers.
Either way when we got home our mom was gone she had got a new job interview to work in a hair salon.
We went into our room when we got home and shared together to Selena what we did. We told how we got some money at the club in our intoxicated state.
I took two straws and stuck them in my nose and tried to shoot my boogers at my sisters. They laughed in disgust and threw pillows at me. I made a joke about just working there and went to whine on the bed frame as if it were a pole and swing on it.
Then, almost like a stroke of genius came to me I blurted out to them and said, “Why not just actually do pole dancing?” They all become quiet and look at me wide eyed. “We could use the money to buy more things to sell and could even buy braids to do our hair and sell braids.”
They all laugh at me of course Sabrina said, “Are you an idiot. Mommy would kill us, dat and plus you under age. You'r just 17, Selena would have a better chance.” She says and finishes off her drink. Then the next day at school I saw Dre again.
1. It was PE class. The girls were outside playing netball and the boys were playing football. In between breaks Dre noticed that I was standing against the classroom wall in the shed taking a break, he ran up to me and smacked me on my lower leg all while looking deep into my eyes and said, “Wah gwan sexy, like how you were whining on me last night it was sexy you know.” TL (wah gwan sexy.) what's up sexy.
I couldn't help but blushed and said, “Whatever I already know that I am sexy."
2. “Eeh, want to throw money on you every night, you can be my private stripper.” TL (Eeh) eeh is a slang similar to saying yes or agreeing with someone.
He says taking off his shirt in front of me.
I look down on him and turn away from him smiling. And rubbing my fingers through my soft hair.
“You think that works on every girl?” I looked over at my other classmates playing netball chatting and laughing.
“You acting like I got a whole lotta a girls.” He says looking down at me.
“Umm, don’t you?” Raising my eyebrows.
“My mother actually told me to easy off a the relationships this year, say I need to focus on getting a scholarship in basketball. I can throw my money on you if we link.” He answered.
“Oh yeah also that, maybe I should do striping, I mean pole dancing.” I chuckled since that club don’t allow stripping. “Better that I do that. It's the first time I ever got so much money.” I said with arms flooded. While our class went on.
Dre smirked and put back on his shirt and said, “Why not, my mom owns it, I can talk to her if you'r serious.”
“Really I was just saying, I wasn't serious plus you forget I am under 18.” I replied and turned to face him. Wasn't really expecting that but then again this country sometimes is slack, they don't really follow the rules, but then again who doesn't.
“That never stop the other girls. But they always leave so they want more dancers, if you'r body look mature which it does, they don't care just have to look good.”
“Oh, alright then talk to her then.” He leaned in one more time with his lips to my ear.
“So can't I talk to you too.” blushing, I pushed him off, “Look here.” I said with a giggle, “Nah man, real talk gimme you'r number so I can give it to her.” I then took my pen out my hair and wrote my number on his arm.
He smiles then runs off to the home room and puts the number in his phone.
You could say that Dre wasn't really serious though but I still gave him a chance and we started seeing each other after that. He would just call me and we would link up and go out.
1. TL (wah gwan sexy.) what's up sexy.
This is a casual greeting which is often used to ask "What's up?" or "How are you?" or sometimes is used rhetorical.
