CHAMPIONS

Episode One: The First Day

Symone:

"Hey can you get me some food please" Desire says waving to the door of her room. "Yes Desire" I say as i run out the door to get food for my sister. I get to the refrigerator and go on my tippy toes to grab the leftover spaghetti that my mom made last night. But I was to short and the spaghetti slowly spilled off the plastic bowl onto the floor and my clothes. I wanted to clean it later so I went on to cook the rest of the spaghetti. I walked into my sister's room and Desire yelled out "wow you were that hungry, look at your fat ass go to the shower now!" I put the food on the bed in the room and walked over to the bathroom, crying softly. "Symone really!?! you drop food everywhere how fat can you be?" Desire says slapping the back of my head. "I'm sorry" I say, while tears trickle down my face even more. "Whatever after your done taking a shower come and clean this shit up" Desire says yelling, and slamming the bathroom door. Tears continue to roll down my face as I dried my body with a towel and put on my clothes and even when i went into the kitchen to clean the floor. I Start wetting the floor with water then i go on to get the mop to clean up the spaghetti sauce. "Oh my gosh you making more of a mess" Desire screaming out. "Clean it up" Desire says as she pushes me onto the ground hard, making me fall into the watery spaghetti.

I looked down onto the pill in my hand and swallowed it down.

It's the first day of high school, I heard about this day for the longest. I am

hoping that West Oaks lives up to the hype. The house is dead silent which

I'm not use to. By now, my mom would have been screaming her head off

telling me to get in the car and threating to leave me behind but now I'm a

freshman. All alone. Man that feels good to say. Ok clothes looking right. I

got on my brand new super clean rue 21 jeans with my forever 21 button up

top to match. Hmm I'm gonna kill 'em today, dancing in the mirror, looking at

my phone and I seen it was that time to go. I prayed all night feelings and

thoughts swirling in my head all about high school became what I was

thinking about the whole time when I was walking out the door. I heard a

faint call of my name. "Symone, you're leaving? Have a good day at school,

be good" my mom says. I quietly yelled back "of course mom love". I closed

her bedroom door as quietly as possible then I proceeded to the front door

of my house. I locked the door behind me with only my new backpack and

God with me, I slowly begin to walk.

I knew where I was going my older sister went to West Oaks, class of 08,

she always said "one of best times of my life". Pssh like I'm gonna believe

that she was a 110 pounds and wore size 0 jeans, of course it was the best

years of her life. Not really helping myself with these thoughts. I was getting

closer I can feel my heart beat faster and faster. Arriving at the bus stop, it

was dark cause it's the last week of August and daylight saving was long

gone. Everyone just look like black shadows until I realize they were either
