Delbrook Academy: Senior Year

Interacting With: James @A Tattooed Girl

---

Once Kira had made it onto the field with the rest of the students, she almost couldn't believe her eyes; It was like something straight out of Adventureland. From the sound of things during first period, Kira knew that there would probably be a few small activities for the students to partake in, but she had no idea that it would be like this. "They'd never do anything like this back home," Kira muttered under her breath as she checked out the scenery, "cheap fuckers." After a quick look around, Kira decided that her first stop would be to one of the carnival games. The objective of the game was to toss as many rings over the glass bottles as possible before the time ran out. She played a few more games and, before she knew it, Kira had about a book-bag full of small stuffed animals, prizes from winning the game. Rather than keeping them, however, she decided to hand them out to random students as they passed by, not wanting to have to carry all of them home.

After giving away the last prize, Kira made a beeline for one of the food trucks. She bought two slices of pepperoni pizza before finding an empty seat on the bleachers. It wasn't until after she took a few bites of her pizza that she noticed the boy sitting not too far away. She instantly recognized him from first period, and wracked her brain for his first name. After a moments struggle, she finally remembered that it was James. In his vicinity sat two street tacos and a large order of extremely cheesy nachos. The way he was eating made it seem as though he hadn't had a meal in months. "Those must be some bomb ass nachos," Kira said lightheartedly before taking another bite of pizza.

Today was a slow day. Hell, everyday in the small Ann Arbor library was a slow day, the only visitors being the occasional school student looking to use the computer. In this day and age of technology, it seemed as though very few people had as deep of an appreciation for books as Laketta did. With all of these computers and cell phones, it was as if books had been left out to dry, simply tossed aside in order to make room for the digital copies. "Do kids even read anymore?" Laketta wondered from behind the main desk as she watched a young boy make his way from the computer area to the front doors. The boy had been in the library for about an hour or two, researching for his English paper. Laketta had offered the young man a few books to help him along, but he'd left them on the desk, unmoved. As soon as the boy stepped foot on the concrete outside, he pulled a cell phone from his pocket, and Laketta sighed. "No."

Since the boy had been the first and possibly last person to enter the library for the afternoon, Laketta decided to take this time to have her lunch break; lunch break, meaning that she'd curl up on one of the bean bag chairs in the children's section with a McDonald's apple pie and finish reading The Color Purple. It wasn't until she'd plopped down in the seat, however, that she realized just how tired she was. One of her singing gigs had run a bit later than expected the night before, resulting in her not getting back home until two in the morning, four hours before she'd have to rise again.

Within minutes of sitting down, Laketta could feel her eyes start to droop and her head tilt to the side. A few moments later, and Laketta lay fast asleep, her book and apple pie untouched.

THE DREAMWORLD

Laketta smiled as she took the drink from the handsome Barista, handing him a five dollar bill before turning around. She was then walking along the shoreline, sipping a margarita as the wet sand squished up between her toes and the sun kissed her skin. The majority of Laketta's dreams were like this, all bunched together and illogical. One minute, she was at the local coffee shop ordering her Caramel Frappe, and the next she was at the beach with strong gusts of wind whipping her hair across her face and filling her nostrils with the fresh salt smell of the Atlantic Ocean. Laketta didn't mind, though, as long as she was happy.

That all was about to change, unfortunately. Within a few short seconds, the sky turned dark as storm clouds covered the beautiful sun. The wind, whipping more ferociously than ever, caused Laketta to drop her beverage in the damp sand. "Hey!" Laketta yelled in annoyance, but was immediately silenced by the unsuspecting boom of thunder, and jagged streak of lightning. "Cut it out!" Laketta yelled, putting her hands over her ears and squeezing her eyes shut.

The next time Laketta opened her eyes, she was sitting on a park bench, a chocolate ice cream cone in her hand. It was hard to tell where she was because of the fog, but as far as she could tell, she was all alone. "Strange," Laketta muttered under her breath before tossing the ice cream into the garbage bin beside her. She hated chocolate.

| Status |

^{"It's...complicated?"}
Laketta has been seeing a young man for about five months. It started out great, but over time he slowly became more and more verbally and emotionally abusive. The two of them are currently "taking a break," meaning that while Laketta has no intentions of getting back with the guy, he continues to call her cell and show up at her apartment uninvited.

| Partner |

Mark Song

| Occupation |

Librarian by day, Neo-Soul Singer by night. She sings in lounges, bars, etc. in hopes that one day her dream of becoming a famous artist will come true.

| In-Depth Appearance |

Laketta is a slender black woman, standing at five feet seven inches tall and weighing in at a little over one-hundred thirty pounds. Her skin is beautifully brown. Her soft-curled, shoulder length hair is dense but yielding, and thick enough to lose your fingers in. Although having a head full of hair, Laketta prefers to wear her hair in protective styles (braids, weaves, wigs, etc.), which allow her hair to grow longer and healthier. There's a certain elegance in the way that Laketta holds herself: good posture, long confident strides and head held high. She often looks taller than her height of 5'7, considering that she's always wearing heels when she has a choice.

Her eyes are large and almond shaped, the brown of the iris so dark that it almost appears to be black. Her eyes are fringed with long, thick lashes. She has a short, delicate nose and perfectly arched, dark eyebrows. Her face is heart-shaped; she has high cheekbones and a pointed chin. Her lips are full and always covered with a clear lip gloss. When smiling, you can see that she has two rows of perfectly white teeth, a slight overbite present. Laketta often times finds herself applying a full face of makeup before work, therefore enhancing her natural beauty. She has helix piercings, conch piercings, tragus piercings, and lobe piercings in both of her ears. She has a septum piercing, as well. Laketta has a large number of tattoos covering her arms, neck, left leg, and a few more in hidden areas. She plans on getting more.

When it comes to her fashion sense, Laketta always dresses to impress. Her wardrobe consists of stunning pantsuits, dresses, blouses, and a large number of heels and boots. She likes to look her best everyday, and usually spends about two hours each morning making sure that there's nothing out of place. It's rare to see her in a state of disarray as she believes that she should always look prepared and presentable, especially when she's the most frazzled. When it comes to jewelry, Laketta likes to be a bit flashy. She'll always wear a large pair of hoop or dangly earrings, along with matching necklaces, bracelets, and rings.

Who Am I?

| Personality |

♦ Intelligent ♦ Short-Tempered ♦ Creative ♦ Bossy ♦

If you had to describe Laketta in one word, most people would choose terms along the lines of "intelligent", "adamant" or "bossy". While she can't entirely deny any of those, Laketta considers the core aspect of her personality to be determination. Her intelligence is mostly based on her determination to do well. A textbook extrovert, Laketta loves to chat with people (unless she's having a bad day, in which case she still loves to talk, but she leans towards negativity and passive-aggression) and tends to be genuinely friendly. She does not shy away from talking to strangers.

Aside from being very friendly, Laketta is a perfectionist who has high standards for herself, and has a tendency to correct people and nitpick. She is confident in herself and her actions, often to a fault. She is very opinionated, has trouble asking for help, and hates admitting when she's wrong. When things don't go as she planned or in a positive direction, she can get frustrated very easily. Laketta has a bit of a "potty mouth," and uses profanity even when she isn't trying to. She also has a lot of trouble controlling her temper, and whenever someone pushes her to her limit, she'll snap; it will often result in her yelling a large number of obscene words, throwing objects, and even going as far as to get physical.

Despite all of her shortcomings, there's no denying that Laketta is extremely dependable. If you ask her to meet you somewhere, she will be there; if she promises to do something, she will do it; if you ask her for help, she will do everything in her power to assist. Underneath the frustrated sighs and eye-rolls lies a person who's kind and caring at the core. Any friends of hers will be able to see it, even if it's not immediately obvious to everyone else. Laketta is only truly mean when she's extremely frustrated or really dislikes someone. For the most part she's pleasant enough to be around and is usually willing to extend a helping hand to someone.

| History |

Laketta Lewis was born and raised in Harlem, NY, the youngest of three. Her father was a criminal defense lawyer, and her mother a pediatric surgeon. Because of her parents' busy schedules, however, Laketta and her brothers spent most of their time living with their Grandmother in Brooklyn. Because of this, the siblings never formed a strong relationship with their parents, and always preferred to chill out with Grandma. While her brothers eventually grew out of this, Laketta never did. While everyone else was out partying on a Friday night, she'd be sitting in the house with her Grandma watching Matlock.

Unlike her older brothers, Laketta was extremely introverted while growing up, and never made friends very easily. She'd spend most of her time, if not with Grandma, in her room, singing and writing songs. It wasn't until she was eleven that her Grandmother finally convinced her to audition for the school production of The Wiz. While her acting wasn't as good, Laketta's tremendous voice landed her the lead role. It was then that she started to break out of her shell. As she grew older, her acting and singing skills improved, as well as her social skills. She'd started to spend more and more time rehearsing or hanging out with friends, and less time staying home with Grandma. When Laketta was fourteen years old, her father got a job promotion, resulting in them having to move across the country to LA. The siblings were forced to leave their Grandmother behind, and never got a chance to see her before she passed away.

As Laketta grew older, she started to realize who she really was, and who she knew she wanted to be. Although she was finally starting to show who she truly was, in her parents eyes she was just "acting out." Instead of striving to become a doctor or lawyer like her parents wanted, Laketta focused more on singing and basketball. Instead of going to Church and being a "model Christian," she decided that she was not religious, but spiritual. Her parents finally drew the line when she brought a girl home from school in the eleventh grade and introduced her as her girlfriend. After kicking the girlfriend out of their "Christian home," Angela and George Lewis proceeded to beat Laketta until she bled, wanting desperately to "beat away the gay."

As a result, Laketta ended up moving in with her eldest brother, Leon, and his wife for the rest of her high school years. She got a job waiting tables to help them pay bills. Although her grades weren't superb, she did manage to snag a Basketball scholarship to a nice college in Ann Arbor. Once she earned her Bachelors Degree, she became a Librarian and is now pursuing her Master's. She still sings every other night at a choice lounge or bar, and is still chasing her dream of becoming a famous singer. She has not spoken to her parents since the incident during Junior Year.

Laketta met Danny through his younger sister, Susie. He'd taken her to one of the Jazz lounges at which Laketta regularly performs, and the younger girl instantly became a "super fan."
