"Eveleen my love, are you getting up? It's almost nine-thirty" came the sound of her mother's voice. Eveleen let out a small sigh as she rolled onto her side and pulled the pillow over her head. "Yes mother I'm awake" she called out. "Aright, hurry you don't want to be late for classes" came her mother's voice once more. Eveleen could careless honestly. She was getting tired of people staring at her, and making her feel like she was a bug in people's way. Living in New York City though had it's perks.

She was able to go to one of the best schools here, and there was one place that white people never entered. That was Savannah's. Her favorite waitressing job, and she felt like she was at home when she was at work. She sighed as she threw the pillow onto the ground and slid out of bed. She had showered the night before, so she wasn't going to worry about it right now. She had her clothes already laid out waiting for her. She hurried and got dressed, and then slid her shoes onto her feet.

She made sure she had her work uniform as well as everything else she would need. She was pulling a double at work today after the only class she had. She then made her way out of her room and towards the kitchen. She could hear her parents in the kitchen laughing. "Stop it" her mother giggled. Her father let out a growl and grabbed his wife, pulling her against his chest and kissed her deeply. "Gross" came the sound of their daughter's voice. Malcom set his wife down and smirked at his daughter.

"What? You don't want something like this some day?" he asked her. She pulled a chair out and sat down. "You mean a white husband? Having a mixed child? No I don't" she said. "Eveleen! That wasn't kind of you at all" said her mother. Malcom shook his head and walked over to his daughter and took her chin in his hand. "Now you listen here my love, you are special, you are important, and you have so much fire in you it's not even funny. You will do great things in life" he said kissing her nose.

"Because you are a mixed child doesn't mean anything. Your mother and I have made our marriage work, and I know you will do the same when the time comes" he said lightly. Eveleen shook her head lightly and rolled her eyes. "I'm doing just fine thank you. I love you so much daddy" she said hugging him. "I love you too baby" he said kissing the side of her head. The small family hurried and ate breakfast before going their separate ways for the day. Eveleen hugged her mother last.

She then hurried to her car and slid in behind the wheel. She started it up and pulled out of the driveway and headed towards campus. She wasn't looking forward to people judging her today. She was getting really tired of it too. She wanted nothing more than to vanish from the world, so that way she wouldn't have to deal with it. When she was in the campus parking lot she parked in her normal spot, shut the car off, grabbed her back pack and climbed out. She locked the car behind her and slid the keys into her pocket.

The only class she had today was business management, and that was it. She walked into the building and Nadie stopped her. "Really? You think you are allowed to go in before me nigger?" she hissed. The word made Eveleen want to break down into tears, but she held her ground. "I'm sorry" she said lightly letting the other's in before her. She then slipped in after them and took her seat in the back. As she had been entering the building she spotted Marco watching her.

She honestly didn't know why he was so kind to her. He had been since they had been in high school. She was surprised when she found out he was here in the same college. She shook her head lightly as she pulled out her things, and waited for the day to end. The faster this class got over, the faster she could get to Savannah's and feel better about herself.
