I wake up, get a shower,put on my uniform, gray pants with a white polo and a dark blue sweatshirt. After that, I go downstairs for breakfast with Amy ( my little sister), Darrell( my older brother) and my dad.

"Hey dad, can you drive me to school?" Darrell asks while filling his mouth with pancakes.

"Sure, give me one second to prepare Amy for her first day of Kinder Garden." My dad replies.

Darrell looks at me and smiles.

"Sis, remember not to get into another fight with Ryan," he says laughing.

"He started it, he went on about some upcoming party. It's not my fault." I cry.

"Wait, so you and Ryan broke up?" My dad joins in.

"No! We just had a argument, about some party that he was throwing. I'm not going to it." I say.

  ........

As I walk into the school Ryan puts his hands around my arms. He kisses me on the cheek and brightly smiles.

"I'm sorry about yesterday," 

"Yeah me too, I was acting like a-" I say.

Suddenly, my dad comes into the school and walks right into Ryan.

"Are you messing with my daughter? Huh boy? Listen here nobody hurts my little girl or they go through me first." My dad spits out.

"No sir I wasn't," Ryan tries to speak but my father looks him deeply in the eye.

"DON'T YOU EVER GO NEAR MY DAUGHTER EVER AGAIN," 

My father slaps Ryan and Ryan punches me down, I can see tears filling up in Ryan's eyes, he runs down the hall and my dad chases after him. Ryan starts to cry, my father punches him until blood rushes from his nose and his lip. I cry and see Darrell kicking Ryan in the back over and over again.

The day goes on and I go to band practice, of course Ryan wouldn't show up because of what my dad did. So, we just canceled  practice, I went home and got ready for the gym. When the time came I walked to the gym and worked out for two hours then went home. Last activity of the day was work! Actually for me my job is fun because I get to sit in a chair and text, well and watch kids swim and have fun, it's really easy! I ended up getting a ride to work because I got tired of walking and doing exercise all day. I got up into my chair and pulled out my phone, I got a message from Ryan saying," Sorry for what I did, I just got crazy and did such a stupid thing, forgive me?" I laughed and texted back," Let me see, no!" I send that to him with a smiley face. Today was a fun day minus the crying!

The next day, I go to school with a smirk on my face. I can see Ryan walking into the school, I catch up to him with my black eye and a broken nose.

"You were such a jerk," I say pushing him into the lockers.

"What  happened to your nose and your eye, did I do this to you? He asks.

"Yes, you did. Thanks a lot jerk face." I punch him hard in the gut and laugh.

"I am sorry," He says wiping a tear from his eye.

I laugh and walk away as happy as can be! Ryan follows me and grabs my arms, "Please Amber, I was such a bird for doing that, please," He starts to cry and I kiss him gently.

"Fine, just don't do it again," I reply with a smile.

"Thank you so much! I love you Amber, never forget that," 

We walk down the hall together hand and hand, we disappear into class, he smiles at me and nods to skip Art and go out for lunch.
