Phew! Goodbye school and hello home sweet home ! So here I am now outside the school strolling down the sidewalk to my hose that three blocks away from the school. The dry leaves rustling and crunching under my sneakers. The October Autumn wind really coold me down. I love Autumn because it much more reaxing breezy and calm. Sometime Seth and I will spend our time lying on a pile of dried leaves that Mom scraped of in our backyard. Speak of Seth, I whipped out my cellphone from the pocket and send him a text message.

>Where r u ? In the Port ?

I hit the Send button. In case you wondering what is the Port, it is our treehouse that we built when we're eleven with a help from Dad. When I'm feel depressed with anybody I'll climbed to that treehouse and sulking all day. I could survive in there. There is a shelf that full of my favourite books (I'm a bookworm) , two purple beanbag chairs, a long polka dots matress lying at the corner of the room, a set of table and chair, multicoloured funky cushion, a cooler box for keeping some sodas and junk food, The wall and the ceiling is full of Seth and my drawing when we were six. I love this one picture that show me and Seth in stick-figures smiling and holding hands. Friends Forever was written in turqoise coloured crayon at the top of the head. We even kept a giant box of Crayola Deluxe and a thousand papers there, I really loves to draw. Art is like in my blood.

My phone beeped with a text.

> Yeah. Where else ?

As I look up, I was in front of my house. Quickly, I get into the hall, dumped my bag on the couch and go to the kitchen for snacks. I heard Mom was rambling on the phone while the kitchen table was full of paperworks spread all over. Mom worked as laywer. She always have a big case and rarely spending time with us. Everytime I told her about it, she will repeating same thing like " I promise we'll spending time together tonight ,honey" but yeah, she always come home later than seven. I don't mind that much because Seth always make me busy.

Mom smiled and winked at me. She held out a finger that say "Hold on a sec". I just smile, give a small nod and straight to the pantry. That place totally heaven I can say. Food is like everything to me. I grabbed a bag of chocolate chips cookies that my Aunt Bethany gave us when she's visiting. Two packets of Twinkies and a jumbo bag of M&Ms juggled in my arm. I madly in love with M&Ms. How can I prove it ? When I was in second grade, there is this boy name Tommy I think. He is a school bully and he snatched my M&Ms and gobbled the whole bag. When he laughed histerically looking at me in red I felt like I wanna kill him. And that make him go to the clinic for a medical check on his bruise plus  two weeks grounded No Junkies Policy. 

As I ran upstairs I nearly bumped over my eight-years-old sister, Cassie.

"Hey ! Watched out Cass!" I yelled as she catched the Twinkies that fell out from my hand.

"Why such in a rush ? And wait ? Is that my Twinkies ?" She glared at me. Cassie look a bit like me because she also have brunette hair but mine have a bit hazel highlights. Her eyes sparkly blue but mine are emerald just like my Dad's eyes. 

"Nahhh. They're like a thousand of it in the pantry and now shoo!" I snatched that Twinkies from her hand and ran straighted to my room. That girl have a record thats he could blabbered 12 km/per hours !

Things that I love about my room is it is big that I could rolled along the floor. The wall are pale blue and I added few fluff clouds floating through. My bedspread are polka dots and there are awesome hangings where I put a bunch of film photos that I snapped with my Polaroid hanging to a string with a cloth pegs on the wall.

I yanked off my favourite ripped jeans with my star-printed pajama pants. I open up my huge closet and figure out what to wear for evening autumn. It's a bit cold outside. I just grab this supercute  grey sweater that have a picture of dried leaves floating all over. I bought this last year special for my autumn wardrobe.

I pulled in the sweatshirt, wrapped a knitted scarf around my neck and get the heck out from the room with the snacks.

When I arrived at the Port, I saw Seth is sketching on a piece of paper. I climbed up the ladder, plopped myself on the beanbag and untied my ponytail so my long half-curl hair draped down the shoulder.

"So how's the detention?" Seth stop sketching and look at me.

"Well, it's fun and yeah we got free balloon each. Duh. It's so bored that I could just die !" I answered sarcastically while digging through teh cooler box for two cans of soda. I hand one to Seth and take a sip.

After take a gulp, he continued with the drawing concentrately. I guess he's not in the mood for a talk.

"Hey what did you drew?" I asked and shift closer to him craned my neck. Before I know anything, he nervously slipped the drawing under his folder and laugh nervously. I realised his face was all red and sweating.

"Uh.. well.. umm.. Nothing !" he smiled nervously. I just knew he try to hiding something from me.

"Oh nice try mister" I grinned mischiviously and struggling wih him to get that drawing but Seth is faster than me, he ran down the ladder on the grass and stuck out his tounge.

"You never gonna get me ! Never gonna get me !" He cackled.

"Oh you !" I laughed untill my stomach hurts. Without thinking I jumped straight from the 3-meters-heigh-Port right on the grass. When I land on the grass I felt a tingle of twisted knots on my right ankle. It's really hurt. My eyes are pooled with tears. I trying to stop myself from crying. My body is covered with old bruises and scars before and I never cry. Why this time ? Seth eyes popped open and he quickly ran toward me and try to calm me.

He put his arm around me and kind of half-hug while the other hand hold my ankle. 

"Oh God. What are you thinking Alex? Jumping straightly forward from the highh Port. Shh shh that's okay that's okay. Can you move ?" He asked me concernly. I take a deep breath.

"Ohmigosh Seth, my ankle is twisted so much  that I can't even move a stiff!" I half-screeched. Seth look very panic as he scratch his scruffy hair. Without saying anything, Seth lifted me up and put on his back like piggy ride back. I wrapped my arm around his neck.

"What are you doing ? Wa--? Hey Seth!" I exclaimed panickly because I felt like I'm about to fall.

"Could you shut up ? I'm trying to save you !" he brought me to the kitchen. As he dropped me on the couch I pinched him.

"Ouch ! Is that how you say thank you ?" He pouting while pinched me back. I giggled.

"Fine. Thanks Seth. " I look him into the eyes.

Sometimes he could be so pathetic but heck yeah. He is my only friend.

I dragged myself down the hallway to get through my locker before the detention room on the second floor after school. I mumble to myself while go through my brunette long hair in a messy ponytail as I put down the cap that say 'Who's the boss?' . My mom that got it from me at the thrift shop. It only a dollar ! Never saw anything cheaper! My old cap had been a dinner for Snoogle, my neighbour's dog when I' on business dog-walkingso it's a must for me to get that new cap. He can be so annoying. I also have a pet cat name Bubblegum.

After I tossed in my cap, scrunching my ponytail, smashed the locker close and turn around, I crammed into a blondy girl. At first, I don't know who is she untill she give her famous evil glare at me . It was Wendy Rosa,the most popular stuck -up girls in our school with her two wannabes, Sophie Morgan and Kylie Raymond. I scanned their outfits. Wendy matched her pink sundress with her soft pink shade Coach handbag. A white belt wraparound her slim waist. Skinny low cut jeans perfectly cute with her headband that decorated with pink rhinestones. The other girls wearing same thing, one lavender and one sky blue turtleneck shirt. Honestly, they maybe the preetiest girl in school but their atittude can be the ugliest.They such a total snob and yes, stuck ups. I don;t know what's wrong with my school. They worshipped the girls like they are angels or something when they are completely not.

I know her because we went to same elementary school. She always make my life miserable but yes, Seth always protect me. Once, she slathered a thick layer of superglue on my chair and I'm busy laughing my heads off with Seth sitting on the chair. And heck eyah I have to zip out from my jeans to free form it.She have a crush on Seth because he keep sending gazillion notes to him, twirl her hair everytime his around, batting eyelashed and act flirty with him.

"Where's your eyes hon ? Did you dropped them somewhere ?" Wendy glared at me with her perfectly manicured hand on her hip. Yup, she hates my guts more than everything.

I just give a small shrug and decided to walk past them untill Wendy blocked my way again . "What do you want from me ? Yes, I dropped my eyes somewhere just now" I look at her like she was nuts or something.

"Whatever. I need you to tell Seth that I need him for my new article about that award I won that day." She slatheres a thousand layers of Cinnamon Smooth Smoochy Lip Gloss. I don't understand why that girlfriend always smear a glob of sticky things on her lip. That was so .. ick. I'm just saying !

I still stared at her icy blue eyes. that circled with few shades of pink eye shadow. My eyes are hazel. So contrast. " What he have to do with your stupid award ? "

"Duh. He works with the school newspaper right? SO I want you to ask him for me" She rolled her eyes at me.

Is she kidding ? I mean did somebody squash her rotten icky brain like mash  potato and dumped down the dumpster ? Did the lip gloss that she wore paralyzing her mind? There is no way I'm going to help her after what she did. No way. Why ? Because few days ago,  when I was juggling with a stack of books in a library , she slipped out her long leg and flipped me over like 360 degrees and all the books flying everywhere. One this stupid geometry book smacked over Mrs Kim, our librarian coffee and it spilled down on her documents on the table nearby. And.. Hello Detention. Wendy is such evil munchkins

"Well?" She folded her arms inpatienly.

"No" I answered shortly. Very loud and clear.

"What?" Wendy popped open her eyes like she want to swallow me whole. Nobody ever dare to say NO to her but me.

"Didn't you hear? No" I grabbed my bag and quickly free from her block untill Wendy grabbed my arm and pinned me to the locker.

"What is your problem nerds?" She scowling. She does look like a hungry werewolves.

"Easy. My problem is I can't help a DIVA like you that make me spinned 360 degrees in the library untill I get detention so get the heck out of my way" I tried to break free but couldn't.

"Who cares about it ? Excuse me little ityy bitty crying girl, you'll be sorry as you break free from here. I hope you worried about it." She threat me and  pointed her finger at me. That super long pink nails nearly touch my nose. I got to think fast before she do anything to me.

Think. Think. Think.

I glance at her finger and yes ! A bulb light up !

"Well, I hope you worried about it first because you'll be sorry.. now!" Quickly I bite her finger and left my saliva on it. She really look like she lost her brain already. Wendy stared at her slime-covered finger and scowling really really madly at me. Her face turns red that could match her ruby diamond necklace. She could blow up in few seconds more ! And...

A loud screeching noise came from Wendy's voice box as I zoomed down the hallway. That girl really learn something I hope. She can be a humongous pain.
