the next day, I walked to school with Steve and Darren. Darren didn't know about the flyer or what it was, but I did. I smiled as we walked to our class, history with mr. Dalton. I sighed as this was the boring class. I saw Darren take the flyer out of his back pack. I did the same, but I hide mine so no one could see it.

"hey Darren, what's that?" Tommy and Allen asked. Darren was going to answer but Steve grabbed the paper out of his hand. Steve smirked as he handed the paper to Allen. "cirque du freak? Cirque means circus, and freak, well I'm guessing freaks of nature." Steve told us as we looked at the flyer. Allen passed it to me. I smiled as mine and Darrens looks the same. 'flyer: cirque du freak /limited showing 11/9-11/19/ / $20 per person. Come and see Sive and Seersa the twisting twins. The snake boy. The wolf-man. Gertha teeth. Larten Crepsley and his performing spider- Madam Octa. Alexander ribs. The beaded lady. Hans hands. And Rhamus two bellies- worlds fattest man.' I looked at the bottom it read ' WARNING!!! SOME RESTRICTIONS APPLY! NOT FOR THE FAINTHEARTED!!!!!'

"Avi, pist Avi." I looked up to see Steve making a face, I knew it was mr.Dalton.

"what is this?" he asked us. He looked down at me. "it's advertisement, sir." said Darren. Mr.Dalton looked at the paper. We told him how we wanted to learn about the cirque du freak. Mr.Dalton told us how people that was different, where put in front of others to make a quick buck.

We smiled as Steve got the flyer back. "we are going." he said.

That day, I went home, thinking that Steve got the tickets. I gave him my money right away so I knew I would get one.

"Crystal." My mom yelled down at me. I walked out of my room and looked down the stairs. "Your grandma is sick, I'm going to stay with her for a while. I left you plenty of money on your card for the bank." She said and left.

I frowned as I sat on my bed. I knew she would do this to me one day. Grandma passed on, both of them. Hers and dads. She left me again.

I went to bed as I cried myelf to sleep that night. The next morning, I grabbed an apple and ran to school. I met up with Darren. "Hey, My mom saw your moms car was gone this morning." I frowned and sighed. "She left me again." I whispered as we headed into the school.

Steve was at a deskcutting paper up. The boys kept bugging him if he go the tickets or not. "Yes I got three. One for me, One for Avi and one for who caughts it." He said giveing me my ticket. I looked at it and smiled.

After school, Steve said who caughts the ticket will go. It toke about ten mins for them to get it, and it was Darren. We smiled as we where going that night.
