" no no not again really!" I said as I see the fridge empty again. Jessie was supposed to get paid, why didn't he buy food. I see a note on top of the fridge, it's from him. Oh great, he had to use the money to pay for rent.

I guess I can go another week without food, it's not like this is the first time. I pack my stuff and hop on the bus for another day at school. Although I normally don't like school, I have a feeling that today will be an extremely bad day, with Andi ditching us for the bitchiest girls at school and Cyrus being all mopey since Jonah ghost him. I swear to god if they don't make up by the end of today I will lock them in a closet until they make up or make out either one is fine.

After I got dressed for school, I went into the kitchen so see it empty again, which means my mom is still in bed. It's been three days, she usually will be better by now. I know what will get her up, a nice cup of coffee and some toast. I take the food I made and walk to her room.

" hey mom, it's time to wake up. It's been three days mom. Please?" I beg.

" mommys tired" my mom mumbles softly.

" tired? You've been in bed for half the week. Come on I made your favorite a cup of coffee with two sugars and 3 creams and 2 slices of toast with jam just the way you like it," I said handing her the food. She denied the food and rolled over on her side. I set the food on the counter, and go to the bathroom. I get her medicine from the cabinet and take out two pills. I set them next to her food.

" I'll be back mom, I promise," I say giving my mom a goodbye kiss as I head off to school.

Thank god that lunch is almost over. Why am I so happy lunch is almost over, well for one thing there's a Cyrus's crying snot on my shoulder and secondly I have to sit and watch Andi laughing and having a great time with her new friends. It wasn't that I didn't support her, it's just that I didn't want her to get hurt but now she thinks I'm the enemy.

Finally lunch is over, now it's time for my favorite class, gym class. It's the only period where I can tackle and stomped on people without getting in that much trouble. Also it's the only period where I can show off my amazing running skills, coach said that I'm one of the fastest runners that he had ever seen.

" come on Cyrus, it's time. Get your head off my shoulder and stop moping around. Just talk to Jonah and ask him what's wrong. You have until the end of today to works things out with him or else I will take action," I said standing up.

" woah are you ok" Cyrus asked as he caught me before I fell.

" yeah, I uh think I got up too fast" I say. I am feeling really dizzy, it must be from the no food at home. But it's only for this week, then next Friday my brother gets paid and he will buy some food for us.

" Are you sure? Are things not going well at home money wise because you can always come over to my place for food," Cyrus offered. Cyrus was always there for me at the lowest points of my life like when my mom left to the army or when my brother lost his job once and was unable to feed me for a month. He was there to buy me dinner at the spoon or help pay for groceries once in while. Even though I really need it, I don't like it because I feel like a leach or a parasite taking money from him and being unable to pay him back.

" no Cyrus. I'm fine I promise, now let's get ready for gym class." I said as we took off to get ready.

" on your mark get set, go!" Coach yelled as I sprinted off being in the lead. The sense of adrenaline soon wore off as I felt light headed and started to lose my balance. I felt my heart stop as I missed a step and almost slipped but someone caught me. Feeling how strong this persons grip was it couldn't be Cyrus.

" would you look at that the princess was saved by her prince," a male voice said. I turned around to see someone who I think I saw before, where did I see him. Oh yeah from Andi's party, the guy that Cyrus thinks I like.

" there is no way I'm a princess. I rather be dead then be put in a dress and drink tea. I'm more of a slayer, vampire slayer. And you can get your hands off of me now" I said as he let go of me. I take a seat on a bench to rest.

" so you admit that I'm your prince," he asked

" no like I said I'm not a princess, I'm a vampire slayer which makes you my next victim. So you better run"

" ouch, is that anyway to talk to someone who just saved your life" he said sarcastically.

" save my life? You just caught me from falling it's not like you took a bullet for me" I said.

" do I know you?" he asked changing the topic . Again with this, what is this the new pick up like for 2017. He literally just saw me and talked to me at Andi's party. Fine if he wants to play this way, then let's play.

" You would know if you knew me, hold on ... Your that guy, who lied about eating a frog," I said going along with this game.

" I said that so you would remember my name. Marty from the party."

" Right, your the one who like to sass chat. Anyways what are you doing here?"I asked. Oh god, what he's some type of stalker or something. Is it a coincidence that he happened to be there when I tripped right now.

" I'm coaches assistant, I help him time laps and pass out water bottles"

" so coaches assistant what was my time?" I ask.

" it's was 11.8 "

" and what's the fastest time?"

" 11.8"

" wait are you telling me that I'm the fastest runner!" I say. I mean I always knew that I was.

" girl, your the fastest girl," he said.

" what, are you telling me there's a faster boy. Who?"

" hey I'm Marty from the party"

" you? What's your time?" I ask

" 11.5"

" that's it, I can top that by next week"

" no, that's highly unlikely. Biologically when it comes to racing, males and females were not created equal. You see, the fastest women will never beat the fastest man" he said.

" even if that's true, that still doesn't mean that I can't beat you," I added

" well I welcome that challenge, hopeless as that maybe. At least now I know you will remember my name," he said.

" oh I will , your 11.5" I smirked as I got up and was about to walk off but felt dizzy again.

" woah are you alright?" he asked holding onto me.

" yes I'm fine now get your filthy hands off of me" I say swatting his hands away.

" well you don't look fine, here sit down and take my protein bar and water. You clearly need it more than I do" he said helping me sit back down, he handed me an ice cold water bottle and a protein bar.

" no thanks, your my competition, you could have poisoned it" I say

" fine then don't eat but it looks like you need it. You're a runner you need all the energy that you can get," Marty said.

I take the protein bar and eat it. I look up to see him smirking. Well played 11.5, looks like you won this round, but not for long.
