I was thinking about how i got grounded and started stressing out even more about my finals, when i thought of a girl in my class named Heather. She w...s Sindy's best friend and they're also the same age, oh and did i mention, im Sindy's twin, and they both hate me more than anyone could ever imagine. Ive known Heather since kindergarten and she's been in all of my classes ever since but i never had the guts to talk to her or ask her out because i know for a fact that Sindy would harrass me. I could pawn it but it would notkeep me in food or shelter for long and I decided that there was nopoint in running.I decided that I might as well enjoy myself with some retail therapy. Ibrought myself a silver necklace with a letter E on it, and then decidedto get myself some fruit and save the rest of my money for later, butwhen I entered the fruit shop, I stopped in surprise, for dressed inblack as if she had just come from a funeral-my funeral, was my mother.I opened my mouth to tell her. ’ My first thought was to say nothing, but then I stopped what I was doing and once again looked at her. ‘With the time it’s taken to get you here via our mutual friend, I wasn’t even sure until you stood in front of me that you would actually turn up.’ ‘Which, of course, brings us back to my original question, Mr. Robert Douglas.’ Her eyes got hard, she placed her arms on the table and leaned on them. She waited, almost taunting me to answer her question and daring me to listen to the answer.. "Yeah!"We sat across from each other at a folding table. She crossed herankles. I offered her the deck. "Thanks," she said and shuffled, thenput it down for me to cut. I tapped it and leaned on my elbows, foldinghands under my chin. "What's the game?" Bullshit." All righty." She dealt, and we both looked at our hands.I said, "A three," and placed a card face down. She had a poker faceon. A poker face with makeup. "Two sevens," she said."Already? Fine. A jack." Four. So, are you.
