I sighed as I yanked up my hood; I was wearing an old black hoodie that was a little to big for me, with gray sleeve from the elbow down to my arm, a white t-shirt and a pair of old jeans and worn work boots. Rain was beginning to pour down. "Of all the times it had to rain…" I quickened my pace as I pushed open the gas stations doors. Looking around I could see people sitting down and enjoying their meals or grabbing hold of something and adding it to their carts. I just shook my head as I walking up to the counter; I surprised to see Leo there. Leo was a pale albino boy with pale blonde hair and pale blue eyes. He was wearing a red and yellow uniform with a black and yellow striped hat. "Hej Kan jag ta din beställning?." He stopped and glared at me. "What do you want…" I shifted nervously. "Lite mat…" I whispered it almost hoping he didn't hear me. He glared at me. "Oh right I'm supposed to just give you food right! You don't have any money… så lämna!" He pointed towards the exit. My green eyes widened underneath my hood.

As I opened my mouth to say something nothing came out. I turned tail and ran. "Ingen bryr sig! Ingen bryr sig!" I couldn't help but think that as the gas station quickly faded. I stopped suddenly on a corner, and gasped as I spotted the polisbil, two polisman sat within. My heart caught in my chest, as I quickly turned left down an alleyway partly hoping they weren't looking for me and partly hoping they were. My head darting left and right as I came to a stop I quickly dove right and into the a box, I could hear footsteps fast approaching. "SIMON? SIMON!" I bit my lip scared to come out, it was Leo. "Vad ville han?" I crawled deeper into the cardboard box. "Simon look I-Jag är ledsen ok, look I got you something to eat. Can come in?" I bit my lip Leo being the proud person he was wouldn't say sorry unless he meant it… "Ja…" I heard Leo crawl in the smell of food catching my attention, making me sit up and look at him my head tilted so he wouldn't see my face. Leo voice sounded almost like he worried. 'Here take it." He handed me the bag, and I looked up.

He was smiling nervously he was still in his uniform as a rain jacket, hood up. "So Simon where've you been. I haven't seen you around at school for a bit, been ditching?" I was shocked. "Ditching? No. Well not on purpose I've been trying to figure things out…" He looked confused. "What do you mean?" I looked away. "Jag sprang bort två dagar sedan …" "What! Dude you need to go home it's not like my parents are going to let you have free food everyday!" I glared at him. "I don't need free food I've got a job!" He flared. "Yeah and how much do you get to keep!" I looked away… I took a deep breath well attempting and failing to keep my voice from cracking. "I-I know… I don't have choice… I'll go back tomorrow, but can I stay at your place tonight? Snälla…" Leo just smiled and grabbed my hand, leading me out of the box… My last day free from hell… Who knows what will happen when I get home…
