CHAPTER 3

*Your POV*
"Class!" Our gym teacher starts off, "Today we'll be letting you play a friendly game of dodgeball." Everyone cheers. "Class versus class." He says before he starts the game. We always had class with another class so this was going to get intresting and horrifying. The game started. And this was the game 'fish in a barrel'. The other class surrounded us on all perimeters of the gym and tossed the two dodge balls around the gym till it was just me and Alfred left out and opened. "You two aren't going to laid off easily after what you did at lunch super star." Antonio sneered. He whipped the ball and it shot Alfred in the stomach. "Al!" I called, "You ok?" He nodded. That only left me with my worst nightmare! Everyone on the bench cheered for me. They all knew that I was really good at dodging, throwing, and catching (But not really good at catching). I swerved and dodged every dodgeball that came at me. Then I heard Alfred call my name, "(NAME)!" I look to see Francis hurl the ball towards me. It shot me in the stomach, I winced at the pain. Everyone gasped. But I had the ball and threw it towards the farthest basketball net with as much strength I could. Then with a bang on the backboard I got everyone back in the game!

After gym everyone cheered that our class won the game! The called me things like: 'Your awesome!' Nice throw!' 'Wait a go!' It was kinda nice. Even Gilbert complimented me. After that during class Alfred wasn't a bother to me. We became really good friends after him saving me from BTT and all. "Yo (name) dude!" He called to me after school. "Hi Al!" I smiled. "So are you walking home?" He asked. "Yeah." I nodded, "I was gonna be walking with Matthew." "Cool! Can I walk with you guys?" He asked. "Uh, sure." Matthew agreed. We headed down the block though Alfred had to wear a hat and so did Matthew because he'd either get mistaken for Alfred or Al would be recognized easily with the hat. Because of their faces except for their hair style and the fact that Matthew's hair was longer and a lighter shade of blonde with a strand of hair sticking out on one side of his hair, and Alfred has a dirty blonde type of shade with a little cowlick on his head. That and Alfred's eyes were a colour of blue that was like the sky and Matthew's was the colour of lilacs.

*Alfred's POV*
Man! (name) can move. She was amazing in gym. She a bit athletic as me, but only when it came to dodgeball I think. It was nice we began to be friends, but I really like this girl. We walked all the way home to find myself learning that (name) is our neighbor! After we parted ways I hurried into the house. After dinner I dashed into the room Mattie and I both share now and fell on my back on top of the bed. "So (name) is our neighbor!?" I asked. "Uh, yeah she is." Mattie told me, "Why are you asking? Do you like her?" "Uh nooo" I blushed. "Al I know you'er a terrible lier so you do like her." He smiled. "Dude you can't tell anyone about this got it?" I pleaded him. "Oh alright." He agreed. Before we went to bed.

'Great' I said to myself. It was the day of the Autumn masqurade ball. "Hi!" My friend Michelle sang as she walked over to me. "Hey." I sighed slamming the door of my locker. "Don't pout." She huffed. "Tonight's the ball!" She said cheerfully. Her dark brown hair tied in pigtails bounced with her. I chuckled nervously. "Come on! I bought our dresses ready and everything. So be happy." She smiled. "I don't think I wanna go anyway." I told her. "What!?" Michelle whined. "It's close to Halloween and people would be in their costume and masks which is just odd." I explained. "Well that's good!" Michelle told me, "You'll meet a cute or nice guy there." "I don't know..." I started off. "Come on!" Michelle cut me off. "Fine!" I agreed. "Yes!" She cheered. I smiled. Always Michelle is the one to cheer me up. "Oh look at who's going to the ball." A british voice hissed. I spun on my heel to face a pair of green eyes. It belonged to no other than Alice Kirkland, Arthur's cousin who lives with him. "Y-yes I am! " I said bluntly. She smirks. "Well you better stay away from my boyfriend." She hissed. "Uh, don't you mean ex-boyfriend, Alice." Matthew said as he walked over to us. "Uh, so? We'll be back together." She said. She turned around, her stupid long pigtails almost hitting me as she walked away. "That girl's got nerves telling you that." Michelle said. "Don't worry about her, (name)." Matthew told me. I nodded.

"Hey dad! I'm home!" I announced. I didn't here he so he left for work already. My mother wasn't probably home. I felt alone in the house. Till I heard my mother come out from the laundry room. Her face was calm, but yet tired. Her (e/c) eyes were loving and the same as mine. Grey streaks peaked out of her (h/c) hair. "Oh, child!" She said smiling. Though our family is poor and she and my father takes night shifts or even occasionally day shifts at work so I don't see them often, she's always smiling. We had spent our money to move away from our old neighborhood to here, just to get away from the violence. We aren't actually poor, my parents just don't get enough money from work. "(name)." She started to say. "Yes mama?" I asked. "Alice from your school called earlier before you came home. She said she wants you to babysit her little cousin." She told me, "She said she's willing to pay $10 per hour." "But I was going to the ball tonight." I disagreed. It was the first time I ever disagreed with my mom. She and my dad are everything to me. "I know but you have to take it. It's a good opportunity." She sighed, "If you don't want to I'll tell her." "No. It's fine I guess I can skip the dance this time. There'll be more anyway." I said. "Ok, I'll call you father." She said as she headed for the kitchen. "Hey, where's Giselle?" I asked. "You sister is taking a nap right now." Mom told me. I waked over to her room and looked at my little 10 year old sister sleeping on the bed. 'I should make her a get well soon card for her.' I thought. Giselle had been sick with the Chicken Pox for three days now. I need to help her feel better. Sometimes I think that I'll never have a happy ending because this is my family and my life.

My dad parked in front of Alice's house. "Ok, bye dad." I said as I got out of the car and headed up the steps to the front door. "Hello love!" Arthur greeted me. "Hello Arthur." I said to the boy with the same emerald eyes as Alice, except for the bushy eyebrows. "Thanks for doing this." He thanks me. "No problem, I don't have anything to do this friday night." I blushed. "Yeah, it's probably because you can't get a date." Alice laughed. I looked down on my feet. "Don't worry about her love. She's just a wanker." He told me, "So here's my brother, Peter." Arthur introduced. He was twelve and had blue eyes and thick eyebrows like Arthur. "Hi! I'm a teen too so you don't have to babysit me." He said. "No you aren't Peter." Arthur scowled, "We'll be back at Midnight." "Ok. Got it!" I smiled, "Bye." As soon as Alice and Arthur left I grabbed my phone and called Michelle. "Hello?" She answered. "Yeah hi it's (name)." I said. "(name) where are you?" She said. "I'm at the Kirkland's." I answered. "What are you doing over there?" She asked. "Alice is paying me ten per hour to babysit him." I explained. "Maybe I..." She started to say. "Uh, got to go." I cut her off then shut the phone.
