"Beep,!Beep!,Beep.." I hear my alarm clock go off, Like I was gonna go anywhere. I groan and turn off my alarm reminding myself of the events that happened at school yesterday. I can't believe they suspended me for standing up for myself, damn guess that's how they're gonna play it, whatever its not like this hasn't happened before... I trail off in my own thought but snapped out when I hear an all to familiar voice Livic Kuchwall my "grandma"

"Lily wake yer sorry ass up! You gotta clean the house, always sleepin with that lazy ass suckin up all the damn AC, while you at it get some groceries we runnin out of food, I left the money on the counter and a list."

She walks in my room. She looks at me with her gray hazel eyes, her hair matted down oily dandrift scatters across her hairline. Bed sores show on her belly underneath the shirt that rises at her waist line struggling to stay as far as it can go, her belly suffocating over lapping her sweat pants.

Ugh gross " Well what ya waitin for? Hm? Gonna get it today or next year cuz I'm Hungrier than a horse" I just silently look at her making a grunt noise and begin to get ready to leave for the super market around the cornner.

Pushing my purple flower pattered covers aside, I change out of my clothes I was wearing yesterday and pull on some fresh ones, a black T-shirt , gray yoga pants and a headband to pull my hair out of the way. I walk to my grandmas door and knock on it letting her know I was leaving.

Putting on my shoes grabbing the money that on the counter I was ready to leave. I walk out the door and immediately feel eyes on me , not the usual feel of disgust but as if there were examining my every move. I looked around to see who was looking at me but saw no one. Shaking it off convincing myself it was just my imagination I continue to walk to the market.

I open the entrance doors and feel the usual suffocating vulgar looks of eyes on me. Unfazed of the way people were looking at me I continue on with my shopping. I get everything that was on the list pay for it and get the hell out of that place.

As I walk out and reach a corner close to my house I then again feel something burning on my skin. I turn around and see a man staring at me, not with disgust but as if he was examining me. He looks like he's in his mid thirties his dark brown hair was uncombed and stubble laid on his jawline, wrinkles laid on his forehead and eyes, green hazel eyes were staring at me as if I was a test object.

We kind of had this weird stare down for at least three minutes or less. Either way he felt creepy good looking but creepy. I try to walk away but stop when I heard his voice "Wait.." he said it so calmly it was creepy "My name is Dr. Baron, I have something to discuss with you and i think you might be pleased" his mouth was grinning from side to side trying to hold his excitement.

He hands me his business card I took the card and see his name Dr. Jake Baron, biologist was found at the bottom of the card. "I want to discus something very important with you" he paused for a moment and looked around to see if there was anyone listening to our conversation and seemed worried when finished. "Come to this address so we can talk it's not safe here" why? He looks at me clearly seeing the confusion on my face " Do you ever wish that you could change?" I look at him confused. "As in your life or your appearance " he states

"Obviously" I hear a familiar voice, a voice I hadn't heard in a long time it was my voice. He looks at me grinning from ear to ear " Good then meet me at this place on Wednesday afternoon...maybe 5:06?" I look at the card that says Live Core Did they copy that off of the Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs or something? silently laugh at my own joke he pauses waiting for a response. Today is Tuesday so I'll be seeing him on my last day of suspension "Fine" he looks at me satisfied "See you tomorrow then." he turns around and walks away disappearing into a crowd of people walking on the Crossroad.

I walk back home thinking about what he said just now did he really mean what he just said? I mean you can't completely change a persons life could you? I'd be over the moon type of happy if he could change THIS but that's almost near impossible. Besides it would probably cost a ton of money to fix this face and a don't have that type of money. But if he could fix this I might as well go take a look right? Thoughts were swarming over my head I began to feel a little lightheaded.

I walk in the house and arranged where the groceries belonged. The only thing that was dirty in the house was one fork in the sink are you kidding me? I wash the fork and put it back in the silverware drawer then knocked on my Grandma's door to let her know I'm back.

I walked in my room and was exhausted from the events that happened today. Sleep took over me and in three minutes I was fast asleep.
