Cara was her name. A girl that helped a tremendous amount.

I was walking to school because zayn refused to take me once again and louis was already at school stalking poor liam payne. I passed by the friendly drug store I usually pass by but something was different. A girl stood outside. Bushy eyebrows, blue-grey eyes and red lips. Her hair was blonde with faded pink and pastel blue at the ends and a cigarette lingering in between her lips. In a way, she reminded me of harry.

"Hey kid!" She called out to me and I flinched. I clutched the box of chocolate bars I stashed in hopes of selling them today.

"Are you selling those?" She asked and I looked into the street and back over to her as if I didn't know who she was talking to.

"Yeah." I said shaky as she pushed herself off the wall. I seen she was wearing an apron underneath black ripped jeans, a white cropped shirt and a Navy blue zip up hoodie that was only zipped halfway.

"How much?" She asked me and I gulped as she came up towards me and I tried to remember the prices.

"Uh, their each a Dollar fifty. If you want two you can buy one and only pay me fifty cents on the other." I told her and she pressed her lips in a thin line and raised an eyebrow.

"What are you selling for? Extra cash?" She asked combing her nude nails through her blonde pink-blueish mess of hair.

"Uhh, my friends has lukemia and I was raising money for him to get the proper surgery." I told her and she nodded.

"How much is the surgery?" She asked and I scratched the back of my head.

"Half a million." I said and she gasped.

"What the hell! Is that a hospital or a death trap?!" She yelled and I rolled my eyes in a joking matter.

"Yeah, my same reaction." I told her and she pursed her lips and tapped her chin. Then her eyes lit up as if she had an idea.

"Okay. I want to help your friend." She said and stuffed her hands in her pocket.

"How about I buy two candy bars now and take this box and sell these bars for a higher price in the store. Around two or three is when school let's out and kids swarm this place so I can get you around a hundred bucks." She said my eyes widened at her offer.

"To make it even sweeter, how about any candy bar inside the store that is purchased, I'll give you the money and pay for it myself. And you can come back and get the money around six." She said and I nodded so much, my chin hit my throat.

"Well then!" She giggled. "Here's two bucks and I'll see you later. .?" She said pushing two dollars in my hand also trying to shake it.

"Niall. I'll see you. .?" I said copying her making her laugh again.

"Cara." She said and i gave her a goodbye and she took my box and she walked away into the store. Then I went to school happy and over joyed. It actually saved me from being social with everyone. Heaven knows I can't socialize with anyone on my own.

"What your doing is a good thing niall." Louis said chomping on Wednesdays chicken as I played School days again.

On the game I paid for a bicycle and rode it and apparently was sent to the Headmaster for 'stealing' it, so I was staring at the virtual game until the I was put of virtual detention. Meanwhile on the game, some bald dude in a bullet proof vest stole my banana and kicked my ass.

So much for this game.

"Yeah. Thanks lou. Thank you for helping me. Under all that sass and cobwebs and spiders and mothballs is a a heart that you didn't know was there. And I appreciate what you did." And louis clasped his hand over his chest and wiped pretend tears.
