ME

Flora's mom: Floraaaaaaa (shouting her name) isn't it time to get ready for school?

Flora: (grunting) mom, can't I skip school for today...

Flora's mom: Floraaaaaaa (shouting)

Flora: (stood up abruptly at the sound of her mom's angry voice) oh, right, she didn't hear me.

(She took her bath and got ready for school then went downstairs)

Flora: Good morning mom

Fmom: lazy ass... Come on, grasp some breakfast and go to school.

Flora: Mom, are you sure this is breakfast? This is so little.

Fmom: Oh my, you complain at every little thing... Maybe you shouldn't eat at all. Try to be thankful for every little thing we put on the table. Isa, why don't you add this to your food (gives isa the food)

"Isa is my younger sister and it seems like they treat her better. I understand the younger one always get princess treatment but this is overboard... I feel something's fishy"

Flora: Mom, I'm sorry... I'll eat it up.

From: Too late.. (Leaves)

"I went to school on an empty stomach. I got to school and went to class, Theo and aiden weren't in class yet. Those are my 2 best friends. They are very handsome and popular and they care for me very much. While I don't get princess treatment from my family, these two cover up for me".

Theo: Boo!

Flora: Ahh, you scared me!

Aiden: lol...That was obviously Theo's idea.

Theo: (laughs) sorry...

Aiden: By the way, why do you look so pale?

Theo: Yeah, I noticed. What happened this time?

Flora: Uhm, nothing... Get prepared for today's test.

Theo: Come on,talk to us.

Flora: Do I have to whine about everything to you both?

Aiden: Yes!

Flora: Go away (I said jokingly)

Theo: I'll talk to the principal that's something's wrong with you, if you don't talk

Aiden: I'll shout at the whole class that why didn't they watch out for you or notice you're pale.

Flora: Ugh (they knew I kind of hated too much attention, so they could get me to talk that way) Okay, okay, fine! My mom made me to work for an oldie who.said he's tired of milking his cows and would pay us if we can milk 50 jars yesterday. So my mom made only me to do that. Didn't get enough sleep and didn't eat cause I was so tired.

Theo: Uh oh... My God

Aiden: flora, you know you can't function in a test if you don't eat.

Flora: hmmmph(sighed) "They were right, I can't function in a test if I didn't eat"

Mr.Flodds: Now, class get ready for the test. go have your seat.

"Uh oh, Mr.flodds was already in.it was too late to get something done"

"30 mins had passed and I had not written anything yet, I was so confused, I couldn't remember the formulas we had been taught and I was feeling dizzy. I knew I was going to fail and be ridiculed. Yeah, I had popular friends and I ought to be popular but I wasn't. No one really liked me."

Mr.Flodds: You have 10 minutes left... Start wrapping up.

Flora: (to myself) Oh no, I'm doomed... Mom and dad would be so mad at me for the results...

Flora: Oh no, what am I gonna do? "Then Theo gave me his paper while Mr. Flodds wasn't looking and he took mine and started writing all the answers on my paper."

Mr.Flodds: Okay, time to submit.. Any suspicious move would earn you a zero n matter how amazing your answers are.

*My classmates started to stand up moving towards Mr.Flodds and I couldn't think of a way to switch my papers back. Was I going to be caught?*

"While moving closer to Mr.Flodds, I saw Aiden putting his leg out where he sat after submitting his test paper, and then, Theo passed looking absent-minded and then he tripped and made me fall too and he quickly switched papers. I was amazed at these two cooperation and excellent tactic"

Mr.Flodds: You all should mind how you flock towards me. Now, Theo's down on the floor.

Flora: Ugh, didn't he notice me? "I said silently. Well, its all good. At least he didn't suspect anything. We all submitted our test papers and he was out."

BREAK

"The three of us were in the school's restaurant laughing at how Mr.Floods claimed he was so good at detecting suspicious moments but failed this time."

Flora: I don't know why teachers pose themselves as Almighty when they really aren't (laughs)

Aiden: They might really be... Just that no one's perfect. One will fail at times.

Theo: the professor has spoken (laughs)

Aiden: So, now that you've eaten, would you like ice cream? Or should we hang out after closing?

Theo: Yeah, we could eat cakes. What do you think, flora?

Flora: Uhm, yeah, that'll be great.

Suzy: Hey, Theo, hey, aiden.

Theo&Aiden: Hey..

Flora: Hey

Suzy: (Ignores me) Guys, my birthday party is coming up this Saturday... I'll like you guys to attend. Aiden, will you do us the honour of singing for us that day?

"Ugh! There are so many things I haven't told you about my best friends. Aiden loves to sing and he's good at it. Soon, he could be an idol. Theo is a good writer and both of them play football amazingly"

Aiden: Sure I can.

Suzy: (hands Theo and Aiden her IV) Be sure to come.

Theo: Wait, what about flora?

Suzy:Well, the IV isn't enough so I'm sorry, she'll be left out.

Theo&Aiden: (dropped the IV) Sorry, we're not going if flora isn't coming.

Suzy: B..but I just told you...

Theo: (interrupts) it shouldn't be hard to make one more for her.

Flora: Guys, its okay.. You can go... I understand. I think I might have work to do on Saturday

Aiden: Then, we'll come give you a hand.

Suzy: Uhm, its okay... (Gives flora an IV) someone else would have to take the fall. See you soon. (She leaves)

Flora: Guys, I told you it wasn't necessary butt.. This is amazing... I get to attend Suzy's birthday party (I let out muffled scream in excitement while Theo&Aiden laughed)

Trrrrrrrrrrrr!

"The bell rang and its time to go back to class."

(Closing)

"It was closing and the trio went to a cake shop and they bought a cake and went to Flora's house"

(In the house)

Flora: (munching the cake) Oh I so much love cakes

Theo: What's there not to like about cakes?

Aiden: Ugh! I'm filled up.

Flora: Guys, I think we forgot to get icecream

Theo: We were so engrossed with the cake that we forgot to buy ice cream

Aiden: Can you really stuff ice cream in right now?

Flora: Yeah, sure, why not?

Theo: But, you're definitely going alone this time... I'm really tired.

Flora: Really? Then I'll take out of your scoops of ice cream

Aiden: Yeah, sure... Be my guest.

Flora: Whatever... The ice cream store isn't that far...And if it's about to melt, I'll have to stuff up you both ice cream

Theo&Aiden: Yeah, sure, sure.

Flora: (a bit annoyed) Whatever.

(As she was about to leave, they both said, "We love you" but she shuddered it off)

(She got to where the ice cream store was but they had not opened or probably they closed early. She waited for about 10 mins and then headed back home looking down. Then she heard footsteps at her back. Didn't sound like one person's footstep. Then she looked back and saw 5 guys at her back staring at her then she turned back to go home)

Leader: Hey, you.

(Flora didn't look back but kept walking and increased her pace this time. Then the leader of the gang signalled to 2 of his guys to take her down. They were just teens just like her)

Flora: Noo, leave me alone... What do you want? (They dragged her to the leader. The street was quiet then and they moved her to a more quiet place)

Leader: You know, what we just want is a simple thing.. So you don't need to be scared.

Flora: (scared and stuttering) Nn..no.. I ha..ha.vv..ve nothing to offer you.

Leader: (laughs loudly) No, you do.

(Others started laughing)

Leader: Well, I want you to deliver drugs for me. You be my errand girl, okay?

Flora: W..w..what! I..i.. I can't.d..d...do th..that.

Leader: I'm not asking for your opinion here (he grasped her hair and pulled it so her face faces his) You are subjecting to whatever I say. You are going to get this drug to someone and bring back the agreed money, okay?

Flora: Please let me go (crying) I can't do this, please let me go.

Theo: Didn't you hear her say, let her go?

Leader: Who are you?

Aiden: your question is what are we going to do to you and your stupid gang.

(The leader signalled the others to fight but Theo&Aiden fought them and took down their leader)

Theo: You should be thanking your stars that we don't want to get too aggresive. Now, go away from our sight.

(They all ran away and Theo&Aiden faced Flora and she hugged them and cried like a baby)

Aiden: Its okay, flora.. Sorry we're late.. Let's take you home.

Flora: Thank you so much (crying)... "Yeah, also forgot to tell you, my best friends are good fighters. They killed right back there, didn't they?"

(The trio got to her room and laid her on her bed so she could rest.)

Theo: Sleep tight, our almost recruited drug maid (chuckles)

Aiden: (chuckles) she would have been so cute as such

Flora: (threw a pillow at them) How are you guys able to make jokes at such a time like this.

Aiden :(chuckles) Get some rest... Bye flora

Theo: Bye flora..

Flora: Bye.

(The next day)

(Flora was at school but her best friends hadn't gotten to school)

Sam: Hey

Flora: Hi

Sam: Uhm do you mind if I lend you my bandage? You have a wound on your knee

Flora: Oh (I had noticed it) well, thanks... I don't need it. (I didn't trust any of my classmates because they never noticed me or tried to make friends with me. There were times I was ridiculed and all so I had no trust )

Sam: Uhm, but it looks like it ought to be covered now.

Flora: I said, I am okay.

(My best friends walked in and Sam left)
