weird day.

Today was a pretty weird day. It started off like any other normal Tuesday. I woke up, went to school, went to my classes, checked out the transfer fair, then got ready to go home. As I'm leaving I see the homie Jon. He tells me that Keek was gonna krump battle some dude during lunch at Narbonne and if I wanted to go. So I say that I would check it out. Right when I get home, I meet up with Keek, Kevin and their friend Vince. We drive over to Vince's house to pick up some speakers, then to the barbershop so that Kevin can get his hair cut, and then finally over to Narbonne. There we met up with Jon and Kahana and wait for the Hip-hop club teacher to let us into campus. It felt weird going back to Narbonne. It seemed like everything changed. There's all these little kids running around, some construction, and the table where I used to hang out is filled with a whole bunch of little girls. It's kind of bitter-sweet because it's the school that I used to go to and know so well, but it's all different you know? I felt so out of place.

So then the battle goes down. Keek kills the little kid. Kevin goes off. Vince goes off. Good times. Lunch ends and we get ready to pack up the shit. We say goodbye to Keek since he was kinda late for his class over at Long Beach. By the time we finish packing up the equipment, (Somewhere around this time I lose track of Kevin and Vince) class had started so we couldn't leave school until the end of the period. So we chill in B10 for a while. The bell rings. We say goodbye to Jon and then Kahana and I head towards the bus. I jump on the bus, (Some where around this time I lose Kahana) and to my surprise I see Doug and some other friends in there. Crazy! I miss all of my acadec buds.

So that has been my day so far. Pretty eventful because if I hadn't seen Jon, I would have probably gotten home and napped for like 10 hours straight. Now I gotta clean my room, read Jhumpa Lahiri's Interpreter of Maladies, work on my essay on the Elgin Marbles, and do stooopid math homework. Goodbye.
