    Click.
    I sat up rubbing my eyes. I looked at the clock.
    7:20
    I jumped out of bed. I started to run down the hallway. “Ria, you want some breakfast??? I made waffles.” Mum said
    “Just make me a pop-tart on my way out. I'm super late, why didn't you wake me up earlier??????” I yelled running to the bathroom.
    "Ah I hate life..." I thought
    I forgot my out-fit. I ran back to my room and swiped them. Back to the bathroom. I put on my school uniform. I brushed my hair and threw it back in a messy bun. I brushed my teeth, put on my shoes and threw my book bag over my shoulder. I grabbed an apple off the table and headed to the door. “Ria, I have your pop-tarts.” My Mum said in the back round.
    “Give it to Libby.” I yelled walking out the door.
    SLAM!
    Abbey was outside waiting for me. “I LOVE YOUR HAIR!!” she screamed
    “Thanks??” I said confuzed
    “Really R??? Its RED!!!” Abbey said.
    “Oh Yeah....I forgot.” I said laughing
    We walked down the street to Iggy's house. She was waiting for us. “What took you so long????????” Iggy said
    “Don't blame me,” Abbey said, “Blame R... She was SOOOO latesville. HAHA!!”
    “mums fault!” I added
    “Isn't everything your mums fault??” Iggy said
    “Hey, what can I say. Shes crazy.” I said laughing.
    No one else laughed. The rest of the walk to school was silent.

    “Alex Bullock?”
    “Here!”
    “Ryan Johanson?”
    “Here!”
    “Abbey Lee?”
    “Here!”
    “Iggy Lenored??”
    “Here.”
    “Miria Florez?? Is that how you prenounce it??”
    “Yeah.. I go by Ria.” I said.
    “okay!!! Well every ones here!!!”, Ms. Lockie said, “lets start by going around the class saying something interesting about each other.”
    RIINGGGGGG!!
    The lunch bell, every one tumbled out of the door. I took my time and waited for every one to be gone. “Are you coming Ria?” Charels said.
    “What?...... Oh Yeah.” I said
    I stood up and walked out the door. I looked around the hallways...... the pure white walls were bombarded by kids and the sines that have the stupid quotes like “do your best on the test.”
    The Lunchroom. It smelled like cheap tacos. I looked for Abbey and Iggy. They were standing in line. Iggy saw me and pointed me out to Abbey, they waved me over. I started to walk over to them when I ran into Isaac Harris. I fell. I noticed his books on the floor. I started to pick them up. “I am so sorry...... I didn't mean to....”
    Laughs.
    “Its all good. No Harm done.” Isaac said as he grabbed his books.
    “c**'on Isaac!!! I'm hungrey!!!!” Cheech said in the backround.
    “One minute Cheech! Geeze!!” Isaac snaped
    Isaac held his hand out to me. “Need a hand?”
    I reached up and grabbed his hand. He pulled me up, then Bryce Anders walked by and said “AWWW!! Look, Isaac and Ria, how cute.”
    “Shut up Bryce!!” Me and Isaac yelled at the same time.
    I looked at Isaac, He Looked at me, and we started to laugh. “well, Im gunna get some lunch. It was nice seeing you guys. We scould hang this weekend. Bye Cheech, Peace Isaac. Bryce.” I said walking away
    “BYEE!” I heard Isaac and Cheech yell.
    I walked over to Iggy and Abbey. “You and Bryce??” Iggy said
    “what, no.” I said
    “No duh she doesn't like Bryce,” Abbey Chimed, “she likes Cheech.”
    Laughs
    I furrowed my brow. “No, neither of them.”
    “Then Isaac then????” Abbey said.
    “NO..... NO!” I yelled smiling
    “AHH you like Isaac!!!” Iggy yelled
    I coverd her mouth. “shut your trap.” I said. “Lets just get some lunch okay???
    “Yeah whatever.” Abbey said
    Laughs
    After eating the WORST taco in the world, we headed back to class.

    I walked to my locker. “Hey” I heard a deep voice say
    It was Kinght McCormic, a junior. Why was a junior talking to me???
    “Um Hi?” I said cluching my books to my chest.
    “Im Knight , your Miria right?” he questiond
    “Mhm.” I said, I could feel my face getting red.
    “oh well, I was thinking, well maby.... chuckles... you would like to go to a movie with a group of friends Friday night?? He said
    “Really??? Sighs Sure!! um what time???”
    “Heres my number,” He said to me giving me a little white piece of paper, “Ill pick you up at seven.”
    “Um... Oh-kay. See you then.” I said feeling my face getting red
    I looked down the hall. I saw Iggy and Isaac talking. They saw me and headed twords me. “Hey Girllyyy!!” Iggy said
    “H-H-H-hey” Isaac said looking nervus.
    “Oh Hai!” I said sounding way to excited jumping up and down.
    “Whats got you so excited?” Abbey said walking up.
    “Knight McCormic, just asked me to a movie on Friday!!! AHHH” I yelled
    “OMG like Junior Knight McCormic???” Abbey said
    “The very same one!!” I said
    “AHHHH” We said together
    Iggy looked at Isaac with a sad look on her face.”Oh,” Isaac said. “Thats cool. Are you gunna go?”
    “Uh Duh!!!” I said.
    “Oh.........cool.” Isaac said. “I gotta go...” He said.
    Before I said good bye he was gone.
    “whats wrong?” I asked
    Abbey shruged, and Iggy just looked away.

    Friday seemed so long.
    Tick...Tick....Tick...
    Cumon....
    Tick...Tick.....Tick
    Cuummoonn..
    Tick...Tick...RINGGGG!!!
    Instead of waiting like I usually do I was up and out the door. I ran to my locker. I had been talking to Knight all week, and now it was our movie date. I couldn't wait. I grabbed my stuff and ran to my bus. I was the last stop, witch only gave me an hour to get ready. I got home and ran to my bathroom. I grabbed my curling iron, plugged it in and turned it on. I ran to my room and opend my closet, I found the perfect pair of jeans. But all my shirts seemd to be to kiddishh. I ran to Becca's room. I found the perfect top, it was blueish green, it was tight on the bottom, then right after that it was nice and pufffy. The sleves were long and flowie. I threw the out fit on. Then I rushed to my bathroom and curled my hair. It took me a lot longer then I wanted it to. Make up time. Eye liner first. Then a gold shimmery eye shadow. Next my purple mascara and a little blush. I slipped on my blue gladiator shoes. My favorite gold necklas and my black burret.
    DING DONG!!
    “Ill get it!!” I said running down the stairs. I grabbed my purse and opend the door. Knight was there. “Hey.” He said smiling.
    “Hi, shall we go.” I replyd.
    “Oh Yeah.” He said
    “BYE MUM!!” I yelled
    “Bye Pumpkin!” She yelled.
    Knight Laughs
    Sigh.
    We walked to his car.

    When we got there he orderd my ticket. I took out my money to pay
    “Nah Miria, I got it.” He said
    “Are you sure??” I asked
    “Yeah.”
    “Okay. And You can call me Ria.”
    Knight smiled. We walked in. “So where are we meeting your friends?” I said
    “Um... they couldnt go...”
    “Oh... um.... okay??”
    We walked to the consession stand. Knight got my twizlers and gummy bears. When we got into the movie theater we sat down in the back. We talked for about 5 min until the movie started. 30 mins in I was scared out of my pants.
    Screams
    I jumped into Knight.
    Laughs
    “Its okay.” he said holding my tighter.
    I looked at him. He smiled and got closer to my face. Then suddenly, his lips met mine. My eyes got wide and I felt myself blush. He pulled back and he smiled. I smiled back and said.
    “That was nice.” I said biting my lips.
    “Yeah.” It was.

    I was so happy I could barley sleep. The next morning I woke up and curled my hair right away. I put on a Pair of Libbys short shorts and a pink shirt from Becca.
    DINNGG DONG.
    It was like a relapse of last night. I opend the door, yelled bye, got embarassed, yata yata yata. “So where are we haning out today?” I aked
    “Some where special.” He said
    I Got inside his car and we drove for what seemed to be a long time.
    The car stoped. I opend up my eyes. We were at a lake. I looked at my watch 2:00. “we have to be home in an hour.” I said.
    “yeah yeah.” He said as to boys I didn't recognize came upp
    “Knighhtttt!!!!” One of them said.
    “Alex!” Knight Replyd
    “This the babe yo were telling us about?” The other one said
    “Yeah, Guys, this is Ria, Ria, these are the guys.” Knight said, “now, you got the stuff.”
    “Hells Yeah!” Alex said.
    He reached into his pocket and took out a small bag. There was white powder inside of it. “Coke?” I whisperd.
    “Yeah, so?” Knight said grabbing the bag.
    “Coke?” I saod a little louder and angryer
    “Babe c**'on,” He said thouching my arm,” If you wanna be my girlfriend you have to deal with this.”
    “I will not deal with any of this,” I said infuriated
    I walked away and dialed Isaacs number.
    RIINNGG
    RIIINNNGGG
    RIINNNGG
    “Chello?”
    “Isaac?”
    “The one and only. Unless you know another Isaac.”
    “This is Ria... I need you to come pick me up.”
    “From where? Your house?”
    “No.... The lake. Please.”
    “Yeah, on my way now. What happened??”
    “Explain Later.”
    “kay. Be there soo..”
    SNAP
    “Hey what the??”
    “Who was that???” Knight said
    “No one, I just called to get picked up.” I said
    “No chick-o-mine is gunna be picked up less its me.”Knight said. I could tell he was stoned
    “Well, Knight, I guess Im not your chick anymore.” I replyd.
    SLAP!
    I felt the wind on my face. Then the sudden sharpness and tingle and my eyes blrued. My face stung as tears rolled down my face. I started to run.
    “RIA!” I heard Isaac yell.
    I ran to his car and jumped in. He drove as fast as he could. Once I could could see straigt I noticed that Iggy, Abbey, and Cheech were in the car. I started to explain.
    “Then he told me I had to do coke to be his chick.” I said
    “OMG, Honest to blog? He does coke?” Abbey said
    “I swear .” I said
    “Whata d**k.” Iggy said under her breath.
    “Uh. Total douchebag moment.” Isaac said in his best gay voice handing some skittlies to me.
    “ I know right!” I said eating a handfull.
    VVVTT.....VVVTTT
    “WHT WAS THAT!!”
    “Who is it?” Isaac and Abbey asked
    “Sir Coke.” I repleyd
    Reply
    u no wht tht was. Ur a** was dumped cuz ur gay coke.
    VVVTTT.....VVVVTTT...
    I dnt get dumpd. Get your fat a** back here.
    “Stop texting him.” Iggy said taking my phone away.
    “hmm.... “ I said passing the mall, “stop here. I need to get out of these cloths.”
    “I knew you looked weird.” Isaac said laughing.
    We walked in and I went to zumies. I bought a pair of gray skinnie jeans and element baby tee. Then when I was changed we went to the food court and I orderd chineese. “Hey, the new Laser Tag place just opend up, you wanna play??” Cheech said.
    “Im down.” Iggy said
    “YEAH!” Abbey said
    “Sure, sounds fun. Whata you think Ria?” Isaac said
    “well....... HELLS YEAH!!” I said
    We ran down the hall to the elevator. “cheech, you sure its downstairs?” Abbey said
    “Hells Yeah. Its all good. Trust me.” He replyd.
    We got off on the bottom floor and wonderd around for about five min and then looked at the map. “Look for LaZerXpress.” Cheech said
    Launas Nail Salon........Section Abottom
    Lunch Caffe'.............Section Cbottom
    LaZerXpress.............Section Etop
    “You idiot! Its on the first floor!” I yelled
    Sighs
    We ran back to the elevator and pressed the button. The door opend. “Its in section E.”
    We found the sine and ran to the door. We orderd a 3 hour game and 5 vests. The guy took his gun and checked us in. “As soon as the door opens you are free to run in. Once your in and the door is closed I will come on the intercom and say game on. Then you may start shooting.” The worker said. The door opend and we all walked inside.
    “GAME ON!” Said the worker. And I ran
    PEW PEW PEW
    BUUURRROONNN!
    “HAHA! I got you Abbey.” I said
    “UM! My guns not wo....”
    PEW!
    “Never mind.” Abbey said
    Laughs.

    I won the game. AHH what fun. Isaac Drove me home with Abbey and Iggy. What a long day, “Bye guys!” I said closing the door
    “Where have you been???” Mum Yelled
    “Out with my friends, is that such a crime?” I replyd.
    Sigh
    “I was just worryd about you. Is that such a crime??”Mum yelled
    “Worryd? Why? Im fine see?” I said shaking myself
    “But what if you wernt, what if you had been kidnapped? What then?”
    “Uhhhh!” I said going to my room.
    “Young Lady Get Back Here!” Mum yelled after me
    SLAM
    I heard my mum mutturing words as grabbed my iPod to drown out my life.
    DRRRRRR
    Nirvana-Smells Like Teen Spirt
    Click.
    “Hells yeah” I whisperd to myself.
    I fell asleep to that song. The next morning I woke up and went to the bathroom. I rubbed my eyes and looked in the mirror. My eyeliner was everywhere. I had cryed myself to sleep.

    I ran to my room and turned of my alarm not wanting to wake up Libby. I went over to her bad and just looked at her. Some times it was a complete pain to have a little sister. But its times like this when I relize I really do love her. Once I got ready for the day. I Left a note on the counter
    Mum,
    went for a walk. Be Back Soon.
    L&R, Ria
    I grabbed my iPod and went outside and started to walk.
    DRRRRR
    Some where over the rainbow-Glee Cast
    Click.
    I listend to the lyrics as close as I could taking in every sound. I stoped at the pond down the street and skipped rocks. About 10 min later I went back. When I got home mums car was gone. I took the key out from inside my pocket opend the door. There was a note for me on the table.
    R,

    The walk took only about 7 min. “Hi sweety.” Mum said
    “Hey.” I mumbled back.
    “Great timing,” I thought to myself,” I didnt have to wait!!”
    “Ill have confetti cake on a waffel cone with hot fudge and sprinkles!” Libby said
    “just the ice cream. In a bowl.” Mum said
    “But I want th...”
    “Libby....”
    “Fine.” Libby said stamping her feet
    “Ill have lo-fat vinalla in a bowl.” Becca Said
    “Uh Ew,”I said,” Ill have the fudge icecream on a cake cone.” I said
    “And ill have a soda.” mum said
    “Whats the point of going here if you don't get iceceam?” I said
    “Miria Anne Fl..”
    “Okay. Okay.”
    “OHHH R got in trouble” Libby said
    “Shut your gob butterfingers! Gosh!” I said
    “THATS ENOUGH!” Mum yelled,”we are getting our icecream and going home. Now Zip it!”
    We got our icecream and paid. The car ride was silent. I was looking out the window saying how to get back inside my head.
    “Mum, we missed our turn in.” I said
    “No we didnt.” She said
    “Uh yeah we did.”
    “just shut your gob.” she said in a mocking voice and laughed,” I know where Im going.”
    I realized where she was taking us. The movie theater. I now saw why she got a soda instead of icecream. She was playing us. My mother was a player. We turned in “MUM! Thats the movie theater! Are we seeing Mr.Moonlands candy forest?” Libby said. “No, better.” Mum replyd
    “aw. I really wanted to see that,” Libby said
    we got out of the car and mum bought us tickets to the best looking film around. Immortal, it was a really cool movie about vampires that was based on the series. I had been dieing to see this. And secretly so has Becca. Mum bought me candy licorish ropes, an icy and snow caps. Libby got the kids tray. And Becca got a small popcorn no butter. And a pretzle, no salt or cheeze. “Whata buzz kill.” I thought
    Once the movie was done we all got in the car. “That movie sucked!” I said
    “Yeah. They paled out Fredrick waaayyy to much.” Becca said
    “Yeah, all the vampires were like that,” I said,”and Meg was a HORRIBLE actress.”
    “Totaly.” Becca said
    “Im sorry it was such a dissapointment.” mum said
    “I like the end.” Libby said
    laughter
    We drove for a while in the opposite direction of our house. But I didnt portest. This was the first time in a long time that I felt close to my family. “AHHHHHHHH!!!!”Libby yelled.
    “what?” I asked
    Her eyes were real wide as she pointed to the building. I looked her way. We were at Pirate Peets junction. The place had everything. It was all coverd in trampolines exctept for the arcade games. Roller Rink, Bowling Lanes, and the food area. Mum checked us in. I went to the firs place I was welcome, the Lazer tag area. I got suited up and head off. I jumped and taged 3 people and ran into a hiding wall. Thank god it was padded. I got up as fast as I could and taged another 4 people out. I saw the red aimers and just before they shot I jumped behind the triangle shelter.

    8 people on the spot. A few more minutes went by and the game was over. I got the most points, and I defended my title on the wall as best player. After that I looked around. Knight was there. I started to run, but he cought up. He grabbed my arm but I shook him off and ran into the laser tag area. I suited up as fast as I could. I saw him running for me. I ran In and hid in the most perfect place. Under the castle shelter. I heard the game on signal but I wasnt gunna play. I looked around and I could find him. Then I felt and arm on my schoulder and I was pulled out. Knight pushed me against the wall. I did the only thing I could think of. I thrust my knee up, and Knight was on the ground.
    “Ill get you. Trust me.” I heard Knight say.
    I walked out and ran to the area where Becca was. She knew the story, so when knight came around she was extra protective. We went home and I went on a walk. I blasted Knives and Pens by Black Veil Brides, and thought to myslef Its gunna be a long day tom.

    I did my morning routine. And went a-walking with Iggy and Abbey. And I was right. It was a very long day. During Sixth Period I saw Knight in the hall way. He looked at me evilly. He looked away and took out his phone. And he was gone.
    The next period I found 2 notes in my locker. I opend the first one. It was writen in sloppy handwriting
    Miria,
    I swear, if you tell any one Im on coke you will be in deep s**t. And your in deep s**t now. I told you, I will get you. You dont know when or how. But I will. Trust me, I Have connections.

    I shook my head and opend the second one. This one was printed neatly
    Miria,
    Roses are red, Violets are blue,
    There is no beauty that can
    compare to you.
    You are as pure as water.
    You are as sweet as a peach
    You are as funny as Uncle Joey from full house
    and there is nothing more perfect in this world.
    I love you from affar, with fear in my way
    but I hope you will stay.
    With your cute little acsent

    “Pizza hut?” Abbey said, “R whyd you call pizza hut?”
    “shut your gob!” I said., “Hey Ig Its Ria and Abb.” I have some news,”
    “And what would that be?” Iggy said
    “ I got 2 letters In my locker today. I emaild you both. Word for word.”
    There was scilence on the lines for a moment
    “OHMIGOD!” Abbey yelled.
    “I know.”
    “whata you gunna do?” Iggy said
    “Let it pass.” I said
    We all heard a massive crash outside. I dropped my phone and ran, there Iggy and Abbey were waiting with the same look on there face. “Abbes? Isnt that your dads car?” Iggy said
    “....YES! DAD!!!” Abbey said running twoards the car.
    “MOM CALL 911!!!!!” I yelled.
    The neighborhood was gathering outside. Iggy, Abbey, Becca, And our mothers helped get Mr.Lee out of the car, and about 20 minutes later the parametics arrived.
    Iggy and I went with Abbey to the hospital. We Waited awhile. The doctor finally came out. “Is he Okay??” Abbey said, about to burst into tears.
    “He schould be fine. He broke a few bones, and he will have to stay over the night.” he said.
    “thank god” Abbey said putting her head in my schoulder and crying.
    Abbey spent the night at my house. Around 12 is when we went to sleep.....well, Abbey thought I was asleep. But I heard he crying. Sob after sob, I listening for about an hour, until the crying had stoped, and there was just her heavy breathing. She had cryed herself to sleep.
    The next morining I woke up to the smell of omlets. Abbey was still asleep, her make up down her face dried. I woke her up, and after she cleaned herself up we went downstairs and we ate. After that we drove back to the hospital. And there Abbeys dad was waiting.
    “Dad!!!” Abbey ran up to him and huged him. His left leg, and right arm were casted. My mom helped him into the car and we drove to olive garden. Once that was over we droped Abbey and her dad off at there house. I ran to my room and turned on my laptop.

    “yepp” I said showing him my bag.
    I walked in and set my bag on the couch. “My moms got the caremal apples done and now shes making the cookies and pie.” Ike said
    “HI MS.HARRIS!” I yelled running into Ike's room.
    “Hi Ria! Here to help?” She said
    “Like always!” I replyd.
    Ike and I took the 7 bags of decorations out of his room and started to put them up. There were Orange,Black, and Purple streamers hanging around. There were spider webs and spiders, and a bunch of monster posters all around. Ike handed me the fog mashene. Ever sence I was 4 iv been best friends with Ike, and every year since I was 10 I had set up the smoke mashine. Me and Ike ran outside and started to inflate the giant spider and ghosts. I set up sevral smoke mashines and strobe lights as Ike set up fake webs and zombies that looked like they were coming out of the ground. We finished around 5, wich gave us an hour to get ready. Me and Ike dressed the same every year. But this year it was different, Ike was a gangster and I was a sexy football player. The doorbell rang and we let our first guests in. They walked in and we went outside. “MOM LET ANYONE IN IF THEY RING THE DOORBELL!” Ike yelled.
    We went to the back yard where the binfire was raging, after 10 minutes almost everyone was there. Iggy, Abbey and I went into our old clubhouse, and went into the loft where no one could see us. Then Chase, Mason, and Justin walked in and sat down. “dont talk.” Abbey whisperd.
    “So, would you guys date Iggy Lenord?” Mason said
    “sure.” Justin and Chase replyed.
    “Whata bout Abbey Lee?” Mason asked.
    “Hell yes, shes hot!” Justin said.
    “I know right!” Chase said.
    “Whata bout that one gurl who always hangs out with them, I think her name Is Ria, Florez?” Mason asked
    “No!” Chase said laughing. “No one likes her!”
    “yeah, shes ugly!” Justin added.
    Mason gave me a pittyfull look and pointed to me. Chase and Justin looked over, saw me and ran. Iggy and Abbey were giggling about what they said. I sat there, thinking....is that what they really think of me? Am I really that ugly?
    I climbed down and ran out. I sprinted to Ike, but then two guys hopped out and sprayed fake blood on me. I ran out crying. I was going home, no matter how far it was. I got tired and started to walk, and as I was ponering it started to rain. Great, the only good thing about this is no one will know I was crying.
    Why was I letting this get to me? It schouldnt. Thouse two are nothing. No matter how much I told myself that, it didnt hurt less.
    I got home and ran straight to my room. I layed on my bed, and scremed into my pillow. Then, after slowly thinking about what other people thought of me, I started to cry, and then fell asleep.
    The next moring I woke up at like 6. I ran into my bathroom and washed my face. Then I changed into some sweats. I threw my hair up and went into my room, wraped myself up in a blanket and turned on tv. I turend on my phone.

    Why wont you answerrr????

    I closed my phone. I wasnt talking to anyone. I stayed in my room the rest of the day, not wanting to show my face. I layed down, cryed, and slowly fell asleep.
    “Ria, are you feeling okay?”
    “Meh” I said pulling my covers over my head.
    Mum put her hand on my head, Clearly looking like I was faking it. She pulled down my sheets and gave me a sypithedic look. “Ill call the school.” she said, knowing I was not in the mental state to go to school. Good ol mom I thought, always knows when I need space.
    I got 16 more texts that morning. I ignored all of them. I was tired of life. I needed an escape. I slept for a few hours. I woke up to the smell of grilled cheese with tomato. I sat up and my mom set the tray on my lap. She handed me the remote and I clicked it on. “Hm....There is nothing on tv at 12:00 on a week day” I thought.
    I took a hefty bite of the sandwich and relaxed. “thank god its friday”
    I put the tray on the side table. I grabed my phone and told Abbey and Iggy what had happened.
    HONK HONK!
    I ran out the door. Shouting “By mum!” and hoped in Cheets car. Iggy, Abbey, and Ike were waiting for me. “Hey Guys!” I yelled
    “HIII!” they replyed
    I looked at Cheet. “Hit It I said”
    Cheet smiled and cranked up the music.
    “Isn't it sad that Cheet's the only one with his licence!” Abbey Yelled
    “Yeah! But as long as we get the free ride!” I yelled!
    “I cant wait!! I LOVE 30 seconds to mars! Oh YEAH! LETS SO THIS THING! WOOOOO!!!” Iggy cherred.
    We all stared at Iggy, mouths agape. We could not beleve she was so excited. We have NEVER seen her that excited.
    “what?” She mumbled.
    We all laughed. I looked around, smiled, and chukled.
    "what?" Iggy asked
    "I just love my life." I said.
