I hope none of them ask about my spring break. They went to Taipei, the Bahamas, Harry Potter World. I stayed in the hood and saw a cop kill my friend.

I don’t think I’ll ever forget what happened, but saying it out loud, that’s different. And hard.

All the sympathy, the smiles, the understanding. This chick was baiting me. Investigating or justifying?
