School's been a long day. Freaking Algebra II test, gym, cheerleading practice and my whole body hurts.

" Hey, hon, how was your day? " Mom asked as she washes the lettuce in the colander.

" Tiring. Other than the Algebra test, I had gym and cheerleading practice too. "

" Oh, that's a load up your day. "

" Yeah, hey Mom? Could I skip dinner tonight? "

" Hon, you sure? You've had a tiring day. "

" I know. But I just don't feel like eating. "

" At least have a glass of water. "

I walked to the fridge and got a water bottle.

" Love you, Mom. " I said.

" Love you, too. "

Then I headed upstairs.

I knocked on my younger brother's door.

" Xavier? " I said as I opened the door.

" Kay, hi. "

" How was your day? " I said as I sat down next to him.

" T'was fine. Yours? "

" I'm tired. "

" Practice again tomorrow? "

" Nah, I'm skipping tomorrow's practice. I'm just so tired. And sore. " I said.

" Yeah, have you seen this bruise on your arm? " he said

" What bruise? "

He pointed at my arm.

" Wow, it's, I've never seen it before. "

" Go put some ice on it, or something. "

" Yeah, no. Maybe tomorrow. I'm really tired. Got a big day ahead of me baby bro." I said as I stood up and left his room.

As I entered my bathroom, I looked at my bruise again, it's probably from gym, volleyball.

The next day, when I woke up, I am 3 hours behind my alarm. Meaning, it was 9 am. School started minutes ago, and I couldn't stand up or even bring my head up.

Then Mom entered my room.

" Hey, baby, don't get up. "

" Why? "

" You're sick. "

" I am? "

" Fever. "

" Oh, is it that high? "

" Yeah, and I saw your bruises. "

" Yeah, I think I got it from volleyball yesterday. "

" And they're a lot. "

" Like I said, volleyball. "

I think I've had that fever for almost 3 days, and on the last day, it went out, so, I went back to school.

" Hey, Kay. " my bestfriend, Claudia approached me while I was getting things from my locker

" Hey. "

" You okay now? "

" A little bit. I think I couldn't make it to cheerleading practice today. "

" No problem. I'll tell Riley. "

" Thanks. Good luck about that. "

" Thanks. I needed that. "

Riley is the captain of the team who thinks she owns the team, not just the team, she thinks she's the queen of the world. Which isn't true! Nobody likes her!
