you didn’t have as much as the rest of the kids in your school. You were less fortunate. Mm poor. You lived in a trailer park in a shit run down trailer.

you had gotten yourself into trouble with your white trash family. And had to miss school. The teacher ordered your classmate, Ashton, to give you the junk you missed.

you were sitting in your room reading something awful. When you heard a knock on the door.

you scrambled out of your room hoping it was your mother. You stood in front of the door. One hand on the knob. You looked over at your dad. Asleep on the couch with a shit ton of beer cans and bottles around him.

you opened the door to see the pretty face of your crush, Ashton. He was holding papers.

schoolwork.

“For you.” he said offering to hand it to you.

“Sorry it’s a ton and you’ve only missed a few days.” he said with a chuckle trying to mask the disgust of where you live.
