CHPT 7

A couple days later was my mom's born day. She was then 49 years old but still working hard. Wrinkles in her eyes never ever covered her sweet dimples and her sigh - sick sigh never ever beneath her cheerful laugh. Here's what she always said to her triple children, "Dear my lovely three little bears with crimson fluffy cheeks, whenever you are feeling down or bad, remember humpty dumpty, the bad egg!"
"Why mommy? He is bad person.." Tony said
" Yes, it is because he is in a wrong way, but the truth is, he is a good, very good person inside-a golden egg."
It sounds pretty confusing at first, but once I understood, it means good; never step to the wrong path that makes you look bad although you are a very nice person.
Right, now that Imma Humpty Dumpty  in my school, I was going to get back my golden egg and showed it to people.
Tesha, the mayor's one and only child was the one behind all this. She was the one who made the girls hated me, she said that I was a slut and that was why I wore too many branded clothes, which was my mom's. Thus, if I wore non branded clothes, they said that I was out of money, which was true in other way. There was several people who knew I worked at the Suzzie's Slurp, but I guess, the people was too weak to defend me..
More about Tesha, (I hate to do this!)
Teshagina Mae Johns was one and only mayor's child. Born in a bling, grow in a gloss and big in a posh. She has a magic lamp, her daddy. On her birthday, she ever asked to have a golden teddy bear. Normal 'till I tell you this, what she meant was a teddy bear from gold. Sounds impossible but there was the teddy sitting beside her dream everynight. Actually, she had a brother, they said it named Sammy Bill Johns, but he dead already before inhaling the oxygen. She meant to be the queen. One day, I saw her helping the falling 5 y.o kid from her bike.
It was a rare view.
"Hey pretty, are you 'kay?" She reached her arm and stood up her Barbie's bike. Once the kid  was all by herself, she took the pink helmet and swipe the dust and the leaves away." Here sweety, be carefull next time." Oh, do not forgor her smile. The kid bike away and with a happy face and a grateful look shone through her small eyes.
"Hey," I Hey - ed
"What are ya lookin' at?" Wait, where was the good Tesha that helped the kid?
" Just a rare and a creepy phenomenal...  You got a nice poker face, I s'possed."  I was all puzzled.
"Oh, you saw that, eh? She was nothing." She chewed her gum.
"Duh?"
"She is one of the Rights, that family that have a lot of money and very very close to ma daddy,"
"Uuuhm, it was fake isn't it?"
"Of couursee! Nothing real is free, now get outta my way, you toxidize my air with your magnesium and sulphuric acid!"
Ah, rich moron.

So, here I am with Lou in Suzzie's Slurp. I guess we made a great friendship.
"Aye, underage waitress, come here!" She shouted from the green table in the corner. The coziest place there.
"Shut up!! What do you want?"
"Look who's coming,"
There she went, with pink mini skirt and cropped white top. Pretty cute, really. But not for this small town. There, beside her 10 cm heels, (I wonder why a mid school student wanted to wear that..) a poodle came along. Wih a big black bow in her head and in the middle of the bow, written "Tesha's".
"Nice bow." Said Daisy with sarcastic laugh.
"Ah yes, The bow is mine. So that no one think that he bow is this poodle's"
"Hey Tesha!!" Lou hey-ed
"Hey kid." She replied
"No, I hey the dog not you."
"Her name is booboo not Tesha! Too good for a poodle."
"I though her name is Tesha, right Tesha?" Lou rubbed her hand above Booboo's head. She barked.
"Her name is Booboo!" The owner of Tesha name was yelled.

Mrs. Smith who recognised that the lawyer's  daughter was there, she was overwhelmed.
"Good morning Ms. Tesha, what can I help you?" She said after pushing Minnie, the cashier girl away.
"Well, pick one of your girls to serve me. Not the emo or the disney one."
And that made me the one last.
Mrs. Smith push me toward Tesh's table and said "You go serve her well or I go put you out well." That's frightening.

"Well well, guess who's here?"
" Human, what dayya want?"
"Oh how rude are you?" She louder her voice pitch so that Mrs. Smith able to listen.
"Pretty rude."
"Oh you play no game, eh?"
"Cause I wasn't you."
"Okay, I am outta here."
My world could fall a half if she outta here.
" Alright. I am apologize my inpolite behavior to serve you, Ms. Tesha."
"Smile?"
Ting! There she had my smile.
"Good girl.."
She bought a key lime pie, not a slice but a whole pan.
She handed me the money but it was too much 500 bucks in my hand. Way more than my money in Suzie's Slurp.

"Thank you for slurping in Suzie's Slurp, here your Key lime pie" I said.
"Hm." She off but she left her money, 100 bucks. Dafuq?
"Sorry we are not accepted tips." I tried to resist those paper that is valueable.
"I heard it is your mom bornday nextweek. That is my gift."

Man, angel just fall in front of me. But landing too hard..

CHPT 6

Mrs. Smith acted very annoying these time. I didn't know if she was on her PMS or what, but, how can a middle age lady became so annoying like a pre-teens?
There were an old grandma (well, grandma must be old) and I was there to gave her service.
"Good morning ma'am, what can I help you?"
"Can you see my back? Does it looks red?"
Because  I have a grandma in my house, I had no matter to checked her back.
"No ma'am, it is okay, so, what do you want to order? We have carrot cake just come out from the oven and-" beep beep! There were an alarm on her watch.
"Sorry, sweetheart, I need to take my pills."
"Alright, I will give you some time and I will come back."
"No! You may not go!"  Haha, what should I do?
Once she got all her pills, she opened up the menu and she pointed "Raisin muffin" and showed it to me.
"Oh, you want some raisin muffin?" I asked and smiled, started to writing.
"No, what is raisin muffin?" Oh dear..
"It is a cake and it is delicious." I said shortly cause Mrs. Smith was watching me.
"Is it big?"
"No ma'am, it is like a cupcake."
"What is cup cake?"
"It is a cake with a size like muffin."
"Oh, I see.. but, what is muffin? Is it different with Raisin muffin?"
"Raisin muffin is a muffin with raisin in it."
"Oh, alright, what about Pecan pie?"
"It is a pie."
"With bird meat? Pecan is a bird isn't it?"
"I'm sure you mean was Pelican bird. Pecan is nuts."
"Oh, I am alergic with nuts. What about this?" She pointed at "Macaroons"
"It is a biscuit - like cake."
"It is a biscuit."
"No, a biscuit - like cake."
" Oh yes, a biscuit!"
" No a biscuit - like cake, a cake that looks like a biscuit."
"Oh, so it is a cake.."
"Whatever." I mumbled
"Watch your mouth, young lady! A lady should not said improper words!"
"Alright Miss Ray, go to my office."shouted Mrs. Smith like a president suddenly and along with my bad feeling. I went to her office which always had a cinnamons and brown sugar scent.
"Yes Mrs."
"Why were you doing there? Taking an order? Fine, but why took so long my dear?" The words "my dear" was puzzled me. She sounds mad but "my dear"?
"The granny had a bit trouble understanding our menu."
"Then, why didn't you make her understand?"
"That was what I did." "Oh. Get outta here." She said at last like the monkey at the Cartoon Network's commercial. Daisy also got scold everytime, history said, Mrs. Smith got very emotional easily whenever she remebered her child, Rush who was died in an accident.
My theatre friend, Lou, was a texas girl and such a cowgirl. She always wore boots and the cowboy hat always suit on her.
"Howdy!" just like she always greeted people. She was a nice person but unfortunately, she was in a different class, way too different so sometimes, we could not talk about what was going on now. Cause we were like on a different planet, one inhale the oxygen, one inhale the carbon dioxide. I was the one with the oxygen.
She was a smart kid, principal's favourite. A's in all lesson, they said. Incredible wasn't it? Though we were in different planet, she was a friendly alien who let me to draw a crop circle in her house. Her house was so homey, 1968's style (she lived with her grandma, no doubt.) But there was no texas' characters, you know, shot gun, tongs of beers or wood wall. This house was so Europe, cream colored brick for the wall, red and yellow roses outside the window, big and old maple tree that shade the red roof. A small path made from rocks, strawberries field and tomatoes garden at the back yard. She even had a pool, the natural pool her grandma dug when she was teens. The ginger bread scents all ovr the places and one thing, which I loved so much and I wish I had one, Lou's bed room. Right on top of her house, in the roof for exact, and a big clean white window that viewed the road outside. Whenever you opened the window, the yellow roses that smelt like tea, planted under the window will gracely greeted you every morning.  Her bed room itself looked so girly, the old girly. There was an oval mirror that really looked very vintage a long a desk for makeup that full of perfume and cologne. Beside it, there was a manequin and right beside the manequin there was her wardrobe. All vintage, all smelt like morning grass with dew, lemon and just like other room, ginger.
"Your bed room is heaven Lou!" I screamed histerically.
"Easy girl.." she gave me an earl grey tea. Wow, I drink what the royal family drink! I thought innocently, but, why earl grey?
"You see, My granny was a British, she married a texas man, my grandpa. But still, you know." She explained everything.
"Yeah, I get it. I love this actually, so The Melendy Quartet!" I slurp the tea, the best tea I ever slurpped.
"Yes, that novels by Elizabeth Enright, I love them too, I have all the novel; The Saturday, The Four - Story Mistake, Then There Were Five and Spider Web for Two-"
"A Melendy Maze, my favourite!" We got common.
We spent lots of hour talking about the books and we made angel cake in inspired by Mona Melendy, the character. The book was actually a real good book. It was an old story, that is why the setting, the background and the time set is all still in nature, the best nature view you ever imagine. The story is just about the Melendy family, the four children for the exact.
"In fact, Brianna, my granny built this house like this 'cause she inspired by the Four - Story Mistake. A secret I tell, she is in love with Mark Herron-"
"Mark Melendy, I suggest." Corrected.
"Ah yes, she used to have a cow here, and milk it every every evening with me, but now that she was too old for that, she sold the cow."
The bell hung by the door rang, means someone was coming. It was Lou granny.
"Why, we got a guest here." She said. So british, polite and soft. Mother-ish.
"Good evening, granny, this is Brianna, Brianna this is granny, the Mark's lover." Lou winked.
"Oh boy, you told her, eh?"
"Yes, she knows about The Melendy and a big fan of it!"
Granny fanned herself with her handkerchief and talked to me for a short while. She was nice, like Cuffy in the book.
"Angel's landing!!" The royal cowboy shouted firmly. We all took a slice and it was so damn delicious and the decorating which was a vanilla buttercream with raspberry on top was just juicy. Melt in my mouth. But, guess, not for the pro.
"Less sugar, too much flour. Pretty good actually but still, less sugar too much flour."
Ah, spending the setting sun with Lou and her granny was fantastic. It made me forgot about the chaos in the house (although mom was all right). But still, we in the progress of re build the base of the falling building.

CHPT 5

I woke up in the morning and feeling like Black Meadow from The Avengers.
Yeah, new hairstyle, free and one thing, a misson.
No, I was not going to wore that thight suit and met Captain America or Iron man, I was about to met Loki. Loki of my version.
Bam, I slammed the door and, oh dear, all eyes on me. Hello? My hair was cut at the most famous and expensive salon in the town!! Duh, I should be a model.
I walked like a boss and, got it.
"Hey pretty, got a time?" I boomed out right in front of Tesha's face.
"Sure, ugly. Nice haircut."
"Yeah not like your oompa loompa hair," Those words was inspired by one of the Family Guy episode. Thanks.
"You trapped me by taking a sudden picture and post it to the entire school!" I screamed.
"So?"
And that was the end of my Black Meadow mood. Total awkward and I felt so terrible!!!
"Hahaha!! Nice one Black Aqua Meadow! You slap her in the face then, snap!, you blank!" Tee was laughing hard that was like Zac Efron
"I know right," I took a big gulp of my milk,  taken from home, and said, "I need a plan for revenge."
"Aw, dear, revenge isn't good. But in your case, I'm on your side sista!" Tee gave me a high five. I realised that Day was in a total silent and looked so serious.
"What's the matter?" I punched his arm lightly.
"Look, I knew her for a long time. Way too long rather than you guys," we got closer and he started to whisper. "She ever talked to me that if she found a girl that she wants to hang out with, she will bully her,"
What a nice way for find a friend, genius.
 "She does that for knowing whether this girl is completely a right person or not. I might be bully for a couple times, but sometimes, she help me in her way, the mean way, but still, it was a help. You know the serial comedy "Don't trust the B- in apartment 23"? the one that I love so much rather than "How I met your mother." Cause Ted Mosby will never ever tell the truth. He was just telling all his dates from how they met, what happen and why they break up. Oh, don't forget the bar, the cute couple Lily and Marshall, the woman killer Barney and my favourite character, Robin. I guess, the mother is Robin, cause, you see the daughter? She is so like Robin, right? Her hair especially, and also.."
"TESHA!"
"Oh yes, I got lost. So Tesha is Chloe and you are June."
"Nah, you kidding me. Chloe has that kind aura behind her bitchiness, on the other hand, Tesha got her bitch aura behind her bitchiness. Isn't it humiliating when people posting an ugly picture of you? And also when she and her friends throwing those food on us and calling you gay, isn't it hurting? Maybe not for you but for a new kid like me, it is."
"Yes I get it, but don't you understand she was testing you! You said you want to have a girlfriend, right? She could be one of them!"
"After those things? It way too far," I grabbed my books and It fall. Which kinda made me look stupid when I said the next thing. "She might be my Chloe but I don't have time for that and one thing, who say I want to be her friends?"
I moved my feet away from them. After this whole moths, which is almost one semester, I always got a message from someone which I knew it was Tesha. Those message was horrible. I don't give a damn for anyone who talking something bad about me, like, I have a hairy arms and feet or I smell horrible or what else, but I do dislike people who talking bad about my family and those message was talking about it.
"Stupid daddy and an exhausted  and desperate mommy." "Two sissy brothers and one mentally stuck in primary sister." "an old super grandma taking care of her big baby."
It was killing me inside. I knew it was her, but, what will I do? What can I do?
Day and Tee always gave me solution but I'm afraid. I'm a coward.

Those Day's word were all in my head. I do think they were possibility that Tesha was testing me, but it was too small. 1.5% out of 100%. Daisy said that I better ignore her and just don't think about her anymore. If she still bully me, say it out loud, defend myself. If she keep sending those letters, show it to her and ask whether she was the sender or not. She's right.
"If she really is testing you, it all depends on you, you want to be her friend after all these things or not?" Daisy said.

I got shocked when Mr.Loo called me out of my conversation with myself.
"Miss Ray, I repeat, when was the Chinese built the great wall?"
All eyes on me.
"Uh.. Probably when the president told them to?"
Everyone was giggling.
"There were no president in China, there were Emperor. What about you, Mr. Blue?"

The bell rang and there was this blonde - brownish hair guy covered with light blue wool cap standing in front of my table. I'm kinda knew his face..
"When the president told them to? Good thinking" He laughed
"I was confused."
"It's Cody, you know me right? I'm Eddie's twin." he said.
Oh, the first people I met and the first person bullied me. I started to walked away in case if he wanted to bullied me. Well, I was pretty sure he will.
"No no no, I treat you no harm.. I treat you no harm." He held my arm.
"I'm not like my twins."
"It's Brianna, I know you but I don't know if you are Eddie's twin."
"Oh, we should talk sometime." He smile and I blushed.
He almost reached the door when he turned around and look at me, "A blushing Brianna is cute, I think we really are need to talk or maybe going out somewhere."

Water please?

CHPT 4

"B, you don't say that we will eat cereal for lunch.." Tony said.
"Unfortunately, yes we will."
They burst into tears.
Yeah, we've been eating cereal for breakfast and lunch and sometimes, dinner. Cody Simpson might enjoy it, but not for me.
Mom still laid on the bed, pale and weak. Dad still laid on the sofa, bright and fit.
I didn't hate dad. I just sick of him saying "I'm going to find a job." But I never saw him struggling, applying things or even went out downtown. Dad was like Brad Pitt, well, pretty much, 30%, nope, 15%.
Okay. He is tall, he used to has a great body, muscle here and there, nice abs and sort of like a cowboy.
I worked at Suzie's Slurp and no one knew it. All I said was, "There was a practice in the club."
I opened the door class and BOOM. No, there was no terrorist or FBI, but there was Tesha.
Remember the beauty and the beast pic? She gave it all to all of the entire school!
Soda from the canteen, tomato out of no where, strawberry milkshake and last but not least, moulded bread were all thrown to me. Sick.
Day came and defended me, like always.
"Stop! Stop it!!" He shouted.
Everybody stopped for a sec. Then..
"What do you want gay day?" The mayor's child took a voice.
And boom, again, yeah.
Maybe, if we colleced them, we could just built a restaurant.
We cleaned ourselves, and it was kinda awkward. It seems like everything we said were burst out.
Like a gentleman, he started.
"I'm sorry about a couple days ago, I was just sick of you acting like that."
"No, I'm the one who really need to say sorry. I called you.."
"Gay, yeah. I am."
"Okay.. I am sorry and thanks for your help just now."
"Yeah."
"We're good?"
"Absolutely!"
And we hugged. You see, a fight refresh your friendship. We met Tee and I told them everything about my mom, my dad, the twins and the collapse.
"Well, as you can see, I wear Prada jeans amd Guess top but they all my mom's," they looked pitty me.
"Don't pitty me, I still have legs and arms," they were stubborn.
"Don't pitty me, I said. Although I eat less, I am healthy, right?"
"Oh girl, you need to follow me after school."
"Nah, I need to work."
"Screw that work, c'mon, go with us! Just say as a sign of peace after all those sayings!"

And we off to go. Day and Tee were come from wealthy family. Day has the salon and Tee has the boutique.
We ran down town. and they were held my hands and I was like, "What happen?"
"Oh B, stop that stupid face!"
For your information, I always make that stupid face, the dumbass face whenever I saw something expensive, Imma tacky girl.
 "Let's make over you." said Day. Everyone love makeover, right? Even a tacky girl like me, I love it.
My black - brownish hair cut into layered and I got my fringe.
"Aw! You look purrrrfecct!!" Tee exclaimed.
"Jeez, you look like Jessica Alba and Selena Gomez!"
"Duuh~ I should be a model." I waved my hair and made that superstar face.
Then, we went to Tee's boutique, which was my mom's favourite boutique.
I saw that bright red coat and it reminds me of my mom. Next week was her birthday.
I saw the price tag. It was pink. Classy . It was Guess. It was $970.
Dear Jessie J, c'mon play your song! This is the perfect time.
"Nice choice. It was original, just arrived." Tee surprised me.
"Yeah."
And for hours we spent, actually, they spent not me. I was just hiding in the changing room , waiting them to brought me a new clothes for me to wear. Then, just like what people's like in every love story, when the rich boy wait for his girlfriend open up the curtain and see her new look, it happened to me.
"Ew, you look like Shrek!"
"Yuck, My grandpa will wake up from his graveyard after seeing you like this!"
"I have nothing to say."
"You look like pickles.'
They were just perfect for Police Fashion. Pickles? Huh, nice..
I was worried about how am I gonna pay  those clothes? Although they said I look like pickles and Shrek, some clothes suited on me and they said good words. Still, the bad critics was a bomb.
"I'm not gonna buy those things. Not my level."
"Whatever, let's go home."

Sick huh? I'm pretty sure you guys thought that Tee and day will bought me free. But, that's reality, bro.
