I am so happy that this story is an success! Please continue to R & R.


The seemed to drag on for Olive. Her classes passed in slow motion, time appeared to be mocking her. But she knew that home was much worse. Olive slowy shuffled up her porch steps and to the door, already hearing the screams of her angry parents.

She opened the door and regretted it imeaditealy.

"Are you cheating on me?" Her dad yelled

"No, but are you becoming an idiot, because it seems like I'm looking at one!"

Olive sighed before leaving the entry of the living room and went up the stairs to her room. She grabbed her Ipod,put in her earbuds, and turned the music up to full blast in hopes of drowning out the fighting. The word faded into nothing as Pink's 'Family Portrait' rang through her ears. The fighting had been going on for a few weeks. Olive loved both of her parents but couldn't they see their fighting is driving her over the edge?

The trouble girl sighed before turning off her Ipod and grabbing her phone.

Olive closed out of the texts and grabbed a notebook from nearby.

At Pizza Joe's with Chyna and Fletcher. I'll have my phone with me. Back later, Olive.

She ripped out the paper and went downstairs. When getting there, she saw that her Mom was nowhere in sight and her Dad was laying on the couch. Olive quietly walked over to the table beside the couch and placed the note on top of it before going out the door. Pizza Joe's was the trio's favorite hang out. And each of them live with in biking distance.

Olive hopped onto her blue and black bike and sped down the sidewalk. After riding for 9 minutes, she came to a stop infront of a tan building that had a giant pepperoni and cheese pizza as a roof. The girl locked her bike between a purple and white (Chyna's) bike and a green and gray bike (Fletcher's). The bell above the door rung loudly as Olive walked in. "Olive over here," Fletcher and Chyna called.

She smiled at the two and slid into the space of the booth that was beside her singing best friend. "So. What's goin' on?" Chyna asked as the two stared at the overly-smart girl. "I was bored and hungry," She answered simply. "Figured a pizza would help the problem." Chyna smiled and started talking about the talent show the school was having and her plan to enter while Fletcher only half listened, too busy staring at Olive.

A waistress named Margret came to their table. "Hey kids. The usual large meat lovers?" The three nodded like bobble heads. She smiled at the group before going into the kitchen.
