BEEP.

Is the first sound Emilia heard that morning. The annoying beep she hated so much came from her phone at 6 waking her up. Her phone sat on her small white nightstand across the room. Emilia's room was small, but not so much so that it was horrendous. Her room had a twin bed with some plain sheets and a pillow. Across from her bed, there was a closet with a single door that held most of her belongings.

Emilia lazily got out of bed and walked across the room to turn off her alarm. The first thing she notices is the date on her phone and her face turns into one of disgust seeing that it was now Friday and it came way to fast for Emilia's liking. Even though she loved the weekend and not having school, she wasn't excited to be kicked out of her house for her mom to go on some weird date with her principal.

Alas, Emilia decided to get dressed and face the day. Emilia got dressed in some random athletic shorts and the first t-shirt she could find. Emilia then put on her shoes and went into the kitchen to make breakfast. In the kitchen, Emilia was about to open the small, black refrigerator when her mom came out of her room dressed in a pink robe and curlers in her hair. She stepped out of the living room with an empty yogurt in her hand and plopped it into the trash. "There's no more left and just a reminder Emilia you can't come back here until ten, I have a date tonight."

"Really mom why can't I come back after school surely your date doesn't start until at least six."

"Well I need this house to be in tip-top shape and clearly you will make a mess out of it."

"Fine but I'll need some money for food today."

"I'm sorry Emilia but I don't have any extra cash since I spent it all to prepare for my date."

Emilia grunted and walked to her room to see if she had some extra cash. She opened her wallet and found only two dollars in there. "Guess this will have to do." She was about to walk out of the room with the hoodie she grabbed for the football game when she noticed her pair of used football cleats. She looked at them in sadness knowing what she had to do. She grabbed her shoes by the laces and walked the half-mile to school.

When she got to school, she looked at the clock and saw it was 6:30. Emilia knew she had plenty of time to spare so she walked down to the field. When she got down to the field, she saw all of the football guys practicing. She looked to Coach Mendel and knew what she had to do. She walked to the coach and greeted him. "Um hi Coach Mendel."

"What do you want?" He turned around and faced Emilia. There was a huge black eye from where she punched him several days before. "What are you looking at?"

Emilia stuttered nervously. "I'm sorry Coach for doing what I did at tryouts. I was just wondering if maybe you wanted to buy a pair of cleats for someone you know."

"Fine. What size are they?"

"A size seven men's sir."

"Ok, maybe they can fit my son. Can I take a look at them?"
