So I did

Chatterbox: Inkwell

So I did

So I did this thing last month called Novelember, (Which only lasted 2 days, because of not having ideas for stories.) and the first day's prompt was color, so I was working with the idea of how I hate that people judge you if you're "white" or "black" so I made this short story:
 

White and black… what's the difference? In skin, just pigment in the skin. In people, enough that apparently blacks can't live like whites, why?
"Layla! Time to go shopping!"  That’s me, Layla. And my mom just told me we need to go shopping. (Which is probably a good thing, we're out of a lot of things.) But the problem is, this is just another reason for people to 1, ignore us. 2, be rude to us. And 3, make sure we go to the BLACK market instead of the white one.  What's wrong with people nowadays? Is it always going to be like this?
On the way to the store we took a shortcut though the playground, and of course, every kid at the playground was white.  I'm guessing today isn’t gonna be a great day today. I sigh, and continue walking with my mom.  As we're passing though, a man and his daughter see us and start leaving. Though instead of looking in disgust at us and leaving like her father was, she stayed and looked at us.
The man called her again, but the daughter waited until I walked up to her. The man yelled "SUZY! GET OVER HERE AWAY FROM THAT BLACK PERSON!''  She looked back at her father, turned to me and said "Just so you know, I've heard about the stuff you darker people have to go though-" The man yells, Suzy ignores him.  "I just want to say I don’t agree with my dad… I'm sorry."  By now the dad came and picked up Suzy and took her with him, we quickly waved at each other as they turned the corner.
I smile as I walk in the store with my mom.  If Suzy wants to, she's gonna be a great leader someday…
 
Not exactly one of my best ones, but I do like it. XD
Also, if you guys wanna check it out you can look up Novelember prompts, but I'd rather do it all year round. XD

Errr... @admins? How come the CB glitches with stuff like this:

 

Normal
0

false
false
false

EN-US
X-NONE
X-NONE

just wondering... glitch in the code of the website or something? I don't know.

It seems to be the result of incompatible software. If you copy text you created in another document rather than type the text directly into the text Body box on Chatterbox, formatting may appear. We can't always see it in Preview, but only after we post the comment.
