Chapter 1: A letter to dear Mom

Mercedes POV

Hi there, my name is Mercedes Martin. I just turned twenty two few days ago.I live with my mom and my two elder brothers, Caleb and Luca. You'd agree with me that every black home has that one problem child. in my family it's Luca, the second child.Caleb just finished college and the most responsible, well he is the first child so he needs to be. Being in the same college with Luca, and being with him almost all the time means I can't escape his influence."Mercedes get your black ass down here and leave my house. I've got places to be today" mom yelled from downstairs.Oops, no time for stories right now.I hurriedly put on my sneakers, packed my books into my backpack, picked my headphones and hoodie from the bed before dashing out of my room."Good morning ma" I kissed my mom on her cheek. I scanned the dinning table but it was clear, no food on it and Luca sat there drinking water."Where's breakfast?" I asked."Finished" Luca said finishing the water in the cup.I wore a confused look and turned to mom."Mom?" "Don't look at me, you were taking so long Luca got impatient" she was wiping the table with a towel, not even looking at me."Wha–why?" I was getting pissed and sad.I turned to Luca."Glutton!" I spat, my hands in a tight fist while Luca sat there smiling annoyingly."It's okay baby I'll give you extra money, now you two hurry to the car I'll be there shortly" I stormed out of the house, Luca followed behind nonchalantly.Mom's car came to an halt in front of the popular Priston's college. "Bye Luca, bye Mercedes. You two be good, no complaints" warned."Bye ma" I said but Luca didn't respond."Hey Luca" I called on our way in. He turned to me."Where were you yesterday? You wasn't in class" I adjusted my bag strap.He scoffed rubbing his brow. "Why? Did someone pay you to watch me?" He asked looking around."You went to the pirates right?" He smiled."Mind your business" he made to leave."I'll go with you today" He paused and turned to look at me."What?" He asked."I said I'm coming with. You'll go again today right?" I was bold.He walked slowly to me and placed his hand on my shoulder."No" he whispered, smiling in a cunning way."That's your business Luca. You can't stop me" I walked away wearing my headphones.The pirates are a group of street thugs. My mom warned Luca severally not to associate with them but he wouldn't listen, he's good friends with them.As I walked away, I could feel Luca's eyes on me. I knew he was trying to intimidate me. But I wasn't having it. I was determined to find out what he was up to with the pirates. What new problem he was getting involved in.I walked towards my department. The hallway was bustling with students, but I barely noticed them. I didn't really have anyone to talk to at school, and that was fine by me. I was used to keeping to myself.I opened my locker and grabbed my books for my first class. As I closed the locker door, I caught a glimpse of Luca's friends, Tyler and Lincoln, walking towards me.Tyler nodded in my direction."Hey merci."Lincoln smiled."What's up Mercedes?"I nodded back at them. "Not much.""Where is Luca?" Lincoln further asked."Uh..his department maybe.." I looked back and saw Luca walking to us."There he is" "Yo!" Lincoln went to Luca but Tyler stood there eyeing me curiously. "What's up? You look like you're in a mood" he said and I shrugged"Just dealing with presentation issue" Tyler chuckled "yeah, good luck with that. See you some other time" he jogged to join Luca and Lincoln.
