The opposite me

2 girls

"who's that girl?" A girl (rich girl by the looks of things) said.

"Ignore her, she's just some poor homeless  girl," the girl standing next to her replied.

"well maybe she wants some money," the girl (rich one) said.

"Well of course she does, everyone wants money, but don't let her fool you she may not even be poor. a lot of people do that just to get money."

I look up at them and saw a beautiful blonde girl with a white warm coat, the girl standing next to her had brown hair and was wearing a leather jacket.

"I-it's fine... you don't need to give me money...," I say in a quiet voice.

the 2 girls looked at each other. the one with brown hair started to walk away but the one with blonde hair stopped. she kneels down on her knees and i can see that there is a small hole in her jeans. she holds my hands making them warm with her woolen gloves. She hands me some money.                                                                                                                                                                                      

"th-thank y-you b-but y-you don't ha-have to," you say in a stuttered voice.                                

"No, no, take it. My dad's has tons of money so you can take it," she says.                                     

'Why would you give her your money?" The Girl with brown hair said coming back.

"She needs it," The blonde one said.

"well um I-a have to-a go somewhere so-a bye," you say unsure what to expect.

"Well we've barely met you," The blonde one said.                                                   

"oh um, I'm not very interesting.. i'm just a poor child...," you say trailing off.

"Well we'll just tell you our names," The blonde girl said. "I am Julia, and this is my friend Vanessa,"

"uh.. hi," Vanessa says, looking uncomfortable.

You stand there not knowing what to say.

"Well? we told you are name, tell us yours," Vanessa says in a rude manner.

"Vanessa, don't be so rude," Julia says.

"Oh... um... it's fine...my name is... Paloma," I say.

"heh. Nice name, nice to meet you," said Vanessa.

I look at her a little shocked because I thought she was one of those girls that think they're the boss.

"Hey you should come over to my house tonight for a sleepover," Julia says.

"Oh... uh, I er... I don't know... I don't think my mum will say yes...,"

"Well, if she does happen to say yes here's my address," Julia says giving me a piece of paper.

"um.. thanks? I have to go now...," I say in a quite voice.

I walk to the back alley of the town... where I live... I see my mum having a little piece of pear within her freezing hands.

"this is for you my dear.." she says to me.

"thank you mum," I say. I look at the other end of the ally and see the two girls who we're talking to me.

my mum turns to look at me and says, "something on your mind?"

"well... I... I got invited to a sleepover party at this girls house." I say.

"Are they you're friends?" my mum said to me.

"I... I think so?" I say.

"Do you want to go?" my mum says.

"Uh... yeah I guess..." I say unsure.

"Well, if you want to go then ok," my mum says to me with a smile on her face.

I looked at the paper she gave me. 118 Brooke street, Chard.

"bye mum. see you tomorrow," I say to her waving.

She waves back and head back into the alley. I continue walking. I heard something jingling in my pocket. It was the money the girls gave me. I thought what I could buy that's important. Then I realised... Tooth paste! My mum and I have never been able to afford tooth paste. We can only afford enough food for us to last the week and only 2 shirts and 1 pant which was worn out. I saw the Pharmacy and walked towards it. I entered the pharmacy and saw toothpaste instantly. I check to see how much it was $1.50. I grabbed the money out of my pocket. and saw that I had $2.00.

'just enough money,' I say In my head, I grabbed the tooth paste and went to the front counter.

The girl standing at the counter. Looked at me with a smile. she did the "come" signal with her hands.

"what would you like to buy today?" the girl said to me, still with a smile on her face.

I hand her the toothpaste and my money. She hands me back 50c and I walk out of the Pharmacy heading towards the house.
