My Luck And I

I cursed Meg countless times. She sure picks the best spots in town to distribute these stupid leaflets of hers.
Meg's my sister,well that's what my mom says :( , she's the star of my family. She's the one with the good hair, good grades and all the luck in the world.
Me on the other hand, well, I am always the second choice. I never fit in the winner's chair and luck loves to play games with me.

Like this situation for instance. I am stuck in the loneliest part of town to distribute fund raising leaflets. My stupid sister wanted me to do. Meg works in a charity organization, somehow people love her .

It's always Meg that, Meg this. They never talk about the one who actually does everything for her.

Ahhhhhhhh! All this frustration. 

And of course I'm jealous. Who wouldn't be?

Utterly annoyed, I counted the remaining leaflets.

"...,23,24,25--"

I was cut off by the yells that erupted from the pub close by. I moved back, hiding myself in the shadow, and pulled out my phone, hitting the dial button. The delay in answering my call didn't help my grumpy mood.

''Hey Tess.'' said her annoyingly cheerful voice.

''Sis,'' I moaned, ''There aren't many people here."

''Oh come on, Tess. How can there be no one? There is a church, and many lovely houses. There are sure to be--"

I cut her off and yelled ''And a bar. A freaking bar with people who are drunk and fighting this very moment. I don't see any nice ones.''

Meg let out a sigh.
Then said in her disapproving voice. ''Tessy, first stop yelling. No one is forcing you. If you don't want to help those poor kids, it's up to you."

"I--" she cut me off and continued.

"Do what you want, Tessie. I'm not gonna force you." with that she hung up.

You see that's why I hate my sister, she doesn't listen, yet always manage to guilt rip me .
Slowly peeping out, I saw the two men shake hand in agreement.
Really!

Sighing in relief I turned , only to find six strangers ( victims to my leaflets) had just passed .
In the entire desperateness I ran , and with the help of my luck, I tripped on my lace and fell colliding into one of them,dragging him down as I fell.

As I hit face first on the ground ,the place erupted into a howling laughter. Pain shot through my elbow as I tried to stand, slowly adjusting myself I managed to turn - a horrible idea- and sit facing the five laughing boys. They looked around my age or slightly older. I watched in horror as the boy I pushed stand up and walk toward me. He bend down ,and, as if to help me he held out his hand then- *SLAP* Instead I felt his hand hard against my cheek.

I blinked,unsure how else to react ,then he spoke , ''How dare you '' he said , his voice sounded like nails on a chalkboard and his breath reeked of alcohol.

I shut my eyes as he raised his hand again and the howling got louder.

''Hey!", what's going on said a new voice from the back,I couldn't see the owner of the dreamy voice but I knew he was talking to us . Unfortunate for me a smile slipped my lip at the thought of being rescued . Which without doubt was spotted by the boy I crashed into.

"You bi***",what the hell are you smiling for ' he barked,then grabbed me by my arm , and coming to close to comfort he whispered ''You'll pay for this''.With that he stared dragging me towards the pub.

''Jace'' said the anonymous voice. ''what the hell are you doing''.

''None of your business Tyler '' said Jace still dragging me.

"leave her alone'' said the boy named Tyler.

''I told you its none of your business ,so F*** off ''spat Jace.

Tyler didn't seem to be the listening types he pushed Jace aside then said more harshly this time .

'' leave her,I know her''. I looked at his face for sign of recognition , but I have seen him before. His perfect jaw line pushed aside as he glittered his teeth and his amazingly glaring green eyes was not half as good looking as his brown hair careless falling onto them.

''Let her go'' he continued . And this did work . Jace let go of me then threw a punch in Tyler's direction , but thank god there was no fighting as the other boys dragged Jace away.
