The Cyborg II Fiction II

✵3✵

Sitting at the desk in my room, I look over the blueprint for the car I want to build. It will be expensive but with time and effort, it will be worth all of that.

I have been picking up shifts at the local diner called Fran Frans. I know it's an odd name, but it pays well, and they actually treat me like I am a normal waitress, not someone with a robotic limb.

"Juni", Aleana comes running in with two outfits "I need help deciding which one to wear to the game" she says plopping them onto the bed.

Ah, the annual opening of the school year football game. Where I'm stuck taking photos for yearbook because people are too busy going with their girlfriends or boyfriends.

"Earth to Juniper" she waves her hands in the air, catching my attention.

I let out a soft sigh, looking back up at her then over at outfits. I pick up the outfit with the skirt and fishnet tights handing it to her, "This one" I say with a soft smile.

She giggles softly grabbing the other one, "I knew you would choose that one" she skips out of my room and down the hall to her own room.

Chuckling, I turn back to the blueprints thinking about Fox, and his smile until I was interrupted by Aleana again yelling from downstairs that it was time to go and for me not to forget my camera...again.

I grab my jacket, bag off the back of my chair, and my camera making my way down the stairs seeing
Greyson standing there with his football stuff.

"Sorry, you have to drive me" he says not sorry at all opening the door, walking out to our moms car.

I roll my eyes, walking out with Aleana, not unlocking the car until I get to the drivers side door, "You are not putting on music", I say glaring at him "or I will drop you off on the side of the road, and you will have to walk."

Greyson sighs softly, leaning his head back debating to walk or not, "Fine" he mumbles going to get in, opening the passenger seat door after putting his ear buds in.

Aleana jumps into the seat before he could, "Thanks big bro" she smiles innocently and I couldn't help but laugh at the look on his face, mad and annoyed, but a hint of his wanting to whine like a toddler and throw a tantrum as usual.

"You both are mean" he mutters, huffing as he throws his bag into the back, climbing in, slamming the door shut, "can we get McDonald's at least?" He asks buckling up and crosses his arms over his chest, leaning back into the seat.

"Sure, but you are paying for your own food this time, you made me spend all my money last time to buy the whole team something" I roll my eyes starting the car, buckling up, and making sure Aleana didn't forget her diabetic supplies, as well, to make sure we had snacks in case she went low during the game.

✵•✵

Aleana and I find a spot where I can take pictures, and close to the bathrooms for the sake of Aleana who drinks so much water it's not even funny, but it's funny. I lay out my blanket, sitting down, wrapping it around myself, and pull out my camera getting it ready.

Aleana sits wrapped up in her blanket like a burrito, finishing up her McDonald's, sipping her Diet Coke, "Fox is here" she says bluntly.

I shoot my gaze over to the entrance where he is talking to some friends I believe of his. The perfect opportunity to take a picture of him I thought. Pulling my camera up to my eye getting a better view, I take one quick shot of him smiling. I pull it away to look at the screen, seeing it and my heart does a little dance.
