As I lie down on the dry grass on a hot summer night, I gnash my teeth in pain. I desperately try to find a solution to this, but nothing seems to come to mind. How did this happen?

My name is Giovanna. I am a 16 year old girl who usually spends her free time working out, playing basketball and running around the town. I'm rarely inside unless I'm doing homework.

I wake up to the noise of my alarm. It is 5 am.

"Wake up, loser" says my brother, Calvin. My parents died in a car crash when I was 9, so he's been my legal guardian ever since.

"Hey Cal, can you give me a ride today?"
"Why? You have a car."
"My car doesn't have AC and its fucking hot today. Please?"
"Fine. Be ready before 6:30."

I change my clothes, put some makeup on to look slightly alive, and grab my bag. I see that a note falls out of one of the pockets.

Hey. Meet me after school Monday @ the field? I need to ask you something
-Will

I never saw this get in my bag. I guess I'll have to stay after school.
