Chapter 1 Little Havana Girl
" Zyra, I can't believe your leaving us??!!!" says Jasmine her adoptive cousin from her adoptive uncle Deon her Bio dad's good friend and one of the Cubans in the apartment complex they live says. "I'm only going up to podunkville for the summer to visit my mom and I'll be back before school starts back up Jazzy." Zyra is currently packing up some of clothes and other necessities that she thinks she will need for this trip. This is exactly a trip that she is looking forward to our volunteered for our even remotely brought up the idea for. This is a you must spend time with your other parent trip.
Zyra looks at her beautiful dark coffee colored skin cousin, wishing that she could stay to follow through with the amazing summer plans. They planned to hit all the beach pier summer concerts and karaoke stands at the Thursday night block parties and try every flavor of the salt water toffee that is sold locally that specialized in seasonal flavors for different times of year. And of course all the extra sun, sand, and beach time that miss during the school and being trapped in the stupid prison like buildings they called public school or also known as Oceanview high school. Where Zyra attends the 9th grade.
"Jazz please , I already don't want to go. please, don't make feel and worse then I already do." Zyra says. Just help me finish zipping this suitcase and take it down to the car. I mean it's not like I'm going to a drastically better place to spend the summer with so many adventures without you. I'm still gonna be the chubby girl everyone hates on". Oh stop that Jazz says . Your not as bad as you make yourself seem. Your a beautiful curvy , auburn haired red head , with an amazing tan and the IQ of a genius which is beyond anything that anyone could ask for. Stop talking down about yourself and instead show everyone that confidence , Intelligence, brave, strong, self confident woman you are instead of letting them assume." Jazz says in extreme disappointment and aggravation at Zyra. Zyra shoots her a deadly glare that would normally make most people step back and apologize. But of not Jazz she just smiles widely from ear to ear and laughs like Zyra just told the funniest joke ever and every one needed to know.
OK fine let's just get this stuff down to the bronco. So, I can get this trip over with and before the Bio dad comes up yelling that we're eating his beer and fishing time. Zyra says and starts walking to the stairs to head down to the south side beach car Port of the apartment complex from the 7th floor and of course the elevator is broke again and supposedly they have been behind in maintenence work for the last 4 months and has yet to repaired . So, of course the stairs it is if u want to leave or come in and comfortable shoes for every step.
