"Yes, can I get a mango pineapple smoothie please"
As the lady gives her the smoothie, her phone rings.
"Where you at?"
"Sorry Saira, I'm just getting my smoothie. I'll be there"
She hangs up.
Sunny day out in Cali like always. Busy streets as always. She cross the street, looking both ways.
"Excuse me, but do you have any change?"
She looks down to see two boys siting down on a cardboard reading "please help" while holding a cup with loose change in.
She gave $2.00 dollars and they thank her for it. As she walk away she turn around to see them once again seeing them staring back.
She finally arrived at Mak house
"Finally you here! We got the movies and everything!" Says Karen.
"We got Batman Vs Superman, Deadpool, and 3 others" Says Liset.
"I PICK DEADPOOL!" Says Saira.
Everyone finds a spot on the couch and pass the popcorn. While watching, she  just can't get off her mind with those two boys. She feels sorry for them but yet she don't understand why she feel like she should help them out. Should I tell my friends about them? Help them out? Okay why am I stupid? I freaking just meat them 10min ago.....there's a lot of homeless people but why-
"NERF WAR!" Says Karen.
Passing out 5 Nerf guns and everyone hiding, counting to ten.

Grayson and Ethan

"Sir can you give us some change?"
"Go work instead you lil twat" Says the man walking by.
"5th reject we had." Says Ethan.
"Your counting? Brother, don't worry we will get a house in Cali and have people to love us and have nice clothes-"
"Grayson you think TOO positive. But yeah one day right?"

"Next week! bye guys!" Says everyone.
She waits for a taxi still holding her smoothie.
It's all watery now. Great. She says to herself
As she run toward the taxi, it starts to pour. She bump into someone
"Sorry I wasn't-"
she stops to see the same two kids
"No it's okay" one of them say walking away.
She get into the taxi all soaked with the rain. She finally get home and took a shower.

Ethan and Grayson

"Don't you think it's weird to bump into the same girl...twice?" says Ethan.
" I don't know Ethan. How much did we make?"
"$40.67."
"Motel we go" says Grayson.

Another warm day. She gets up to make breakfast for herself.
BANG BANG, she hears from her door
"You lil shit head, OPEN UP!"
She open the door to see her
ex- husband standing there holding a paper.
"I Am not going to sign this divorce papers you hear!
"Get the hell away from me or I'll call the cops. Your going to sign them like it or not!" She says.
He slaps her across the face and spits. He leaves without looking back.
She cries wishing she had someone to hold. Someone to call when feeling down. Someone to love.......
Night comes. It was hard to sleep for her but around 2:00 she finally gives in and sleep heavenly

Grayson and Ethan

"STOP GRAYSON,! Says Ethan taking the beer from his hand.
"I can't do it no more! This life.....this fucking life.....what did we do to deserve this? We were born then thrown in the street," Grayson says sobbing.
"Grayson.....its not our fault that our.....parents.....look don't worry there's always a bright side on things....."
"Ethan no..... We can't live like this!"
"STOP! just stop.....Complaining won't make shit any better. We are not the only homeless people out there. Not us or anyone should go through this. Think positive like always man. I love you, we got each other."
"Dame Ethan, you and your speech. One day we will.....we will make people laugh and smile.....

"That lil twat hit you didn't he?" Says Karen madly.
"Yeah but not hard like last time..... He still won't sign the papers."
"Don't worry, his stupid ass will."
Karen had to leave for work and leaves her alone in her apartment. As she get ready for work she remembers to buy food for this week and for the meting she has for next week.
Shoes tied
Hair tied
Bra on
Shirt and pants on
She locked the door behind her, carrying her water bottle and bike and out she goes feeling the bright sun on her skin.
"Sorry to bo-"
She looks up seeing the same two kids from yesterday.
"Are you following us? You keep bumping into us."
"No sorry.....I live here...are you following me?."
"Hah no....have a nice day," Says both walking away.
"No wait," she yells.
"Here's $10 dollars.....not much but-"
"No that's okay we-"
"Take it please.....make me smile?"
They both smile and took the money. They wave good bye, turning around the corner.

Ethan and Grayson

"Your right. Hahah she probably spying on us," Says Grayson laughing.
"She's pretty.....reminds me of-"
"Welcome to McDonald's, May u help you.
"Can we get 2 sausage biscuit and mango pineapple," says Ethan hearing his tummy growl.
They sat down. Everyone start to stare laughing and whispering. But the heart that they have they didn't pay attention.
"Cam," muffled Ethan.
"WHERE?" Reply Grayson looking around.
"No. The girl that we keep bumping into. She looks like cam." Muffled Ethan. Tiny bites comes from his mouth to the table. Hungry s he is he make sure every crumb gets into his mouth.
"Oh Ethan. Hehe you scared me."

🎶Oh I tell ya what I want what I really really want.
So tell me what you really really want.🎶
She stops for a break puffing really hard, taking off her headphones, bending down to rest her hands on her knees, she look at the time seeing its 12:09. She slowly rides her bike to the near super market seeing the same two kids siting there, asking for money. She tries not to smile. She don't want to be seen.
Traffic! Crap! They will see me-
"HEY!! OVER HERE!"
She turns to see one of them waving crazy at her. She couldn't stop herself from smiling. She looks forward, seeing the red light go green. She decided to paddle across the street towards them.
"Hey guys," She says hugging them both.
"Hey......you went for a run?" Asked Grayson.
"And bike ridding.....I love to see the Hollywood sign and stare at small buildings from my point of view."
"Sounds really peaceful," Saying Ethan imagining the picture."
"Want to....come with me one day?"
"We-"
"You know what?" She says siting down beside them. "Why not come to my place and chill.
