I was up getting ready for school when my mom called me from the kitchen...."Rianna baby....I don't feel too good"she said. Those were here last words and then she fell down right in front of me. Tears slowly filled my eyes and I began to cry.I ran to get a phone to call for help and then I remembered we had none. Neighbors I thought I ran out screaming for help but there was no one for miles to come. We were poor, really poor and because of that we had to live all alone away from the community as it was a disgrace being so poor . My grandad died two weeks ago and he left us a $1000(jamaican),out of that thousand $200 was left and I took $50 from it because today was the day of change .I planned to buy a lotto ticket and try out my luck.
At School
Today wasnt the same as the other days,for some reason I was sure. I mean the teasing,bullying all of that still went on but some how today just seemed different. Not because my mom died but I guess the whole idea of the ticket thing just made my day a bit brighter . School went fast I had all my classes got back a test grade and I got an A . I was so freaking happy. I got an A in physics that was like impossible, at least with my teacher it was. I was so excited and I really wished I could tell mom,cause it was my last year and all and she really wanted me to do well, at least better than last year. I soon got over the not being able to tel mom and started to think about the lotto thing.

After School at the Gambling place

I saw a man that I was familiar with . "excuse me,sir. Do u mind buying a ticket for me?" "Why sure"
"Ok,umm number 15".
"You sure u wanna pick that #?"
"Yea,why not?"
"Oh nothing"he said as he left . he came back 5 minutes later with my ticket and said "here you go,#15"
"Thanks Mr...."
"Smith.come back same time tomorrow for the number that played"
"Ok"I said as I left.

At Home

I had buried mom's body around the pack before I left for school. I went to the bathroom and got something that mom had used in the house when Grandpa died, I got it and sprinkled it around the house . I then had a bath and prepared the little we had for my dinner. I went to sleep
