The Black World by Aaliyah Angevine
Hey, my name is Icy. Let me introduce myself. First I’ll tell you a few things about myself. I have a big fear of heights, such as roller coasters, but I got over that at one point, including airplanes, but after I took one it was not so bad. Another thing I think everyone should be afraid of is the ocean. The ocean is so big and it’s very very deep. I never knew how deep it was. I can’t imagine how many things there are in that ocean. There have to be mermaids because it’s so big. Lucky me, the world I live in is nothing like that. My favorite thing to do, and hobby, is I love to shop. Like shopping makes me very happy to look at new things and support Black owners. Besides that, I don’t really do a lot. My favorite colors are honestly all the colors because each and every single color you can pair it up with something. Like for example, outfits. Or with your room, you could pair it up with a different color or anything and make all colors look good. The world I live in doesn’t really have colors. It’s literally a dark, cold world that I live in. It only comes in season, but I live honestly. I wish the world could be a colorful bright world with happiness and joy and not full of hateful people. The ocean is super dark blue, the sky is gloomy and gray mixed with black, colors of people are mean, you can’t define a few nice people in this world, is very hard to find, is very weird to me. Like I said, color only comes in season which is the summertime, everything is just colorful and it makes me joyful inside. As I mentioned before, my name is Icy. I live with my dad, my mother, and my sister. My sister and I are very close. We keep a lot of deep secrets that a lot of people do not know about. This house is full of problems. My sister and I are very tight, basically best friends. My dad is an undercover agent and my mom is a doctor, so I’m very lucky to have a rich family that doesn’t have to worry about anything most of the time. Our dad argues a lot with our mom and in our head we say “Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers WHATEVER.” Literally me and my sister always say “Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.” Or we say, “out of my face,” meaning shut up don’t talk to us. 6
