BEEP, BEEP, BEEP. "5 more minutes," I mumbled as I turned off my alarm; not realizing the time, "….shit shit shit it's 11am…fuckkk!" I yelled as I scurry around my room to find some warm clothes to put on, mumbling as I do so, "shit I was supposed to be there at 10am..damn it, where's my phone?" Looking around to find my phone I passed my full length mirror and caught a glimpse of my outfit, "Sheesh, someone's looking good," I said while smirking at my reflection. I mean look at me, here I am sporting an all Tommy Hilfiger outfit, from my black coat to my long black sleeves shirt and some black sweatpants if ya will, you know it's a Saturday and I'm doing a project for school…sheesh..oh oh can't forget my black Tommy Hilfiger boots:)."Geez Louise stop distracting yourself," the phone rang after I said that; Amelia is calling. I pick up the phone super fast you'll actually have to call me flash, "Hey hey, I am so sorry for being over an hour late I overslept and then I couldn't find my phone but besides that I'll be there, at that cafe you told me to right?" I asked, "Yeah, I'll send you the address again and don't sweat it everyone oversleeps every now and then even when it's for a school project. I mean what could be more boring than that?" She chuckled but I could tell she was a little sad, "Yea you're right school projects are boring but it's the person or people you have in your group that makes it all the better ya feel me?" I smiled as she did that cute little laugh that she does, "You're a little sweet talker huh?" She questioned with a hint of play in her tone "Not at all, just stating the facts" I told her smirking at her comment, "Anyway, I'll be on my way now I'll text you when I'm close by okay?" "Oki, see ya then." She pitched. I hung up the phone and continue to gather all that I needed for the school project, trying to recall all that she told me last night…
~Last Night~
"….so the project we're about to do is apparently what our name means when you look it up and what it means to you or something like that…" Amelia was explaining while I was zoning out, "hey Alexavier… Yoo-hoo ya there?…" snapping back to the conversation " yea, yea I'm here my bad I was thinking about something." I told her, "Well I hope it's something about the project because apparently we're supposed to write a page about our names and reasoning as to if we like our names or not and why," she explained more. "Wait a damn min, a whole ass page on our names and reasons why…jebus," I sighed, "Well have you at least thought of your name and shits?" I asked and upon hearing her sigh before she could talk, I already knew what the answer was going to be, "No, actually I haven't…I mean I looked up what my name means a couple of times before this project but..i don't know what it means to me and if I like it. I don't know it's confusing to me." She finished and I could tell there was more behind it but decided not to probe her about it. Clearing my throat I started to say, "Hey for what it's worth I like your name. It's beautiful, Mia" that made her chuckle a little, "No one ever called me by Mia unless they were family, and I never really liked when they called me by it," She said "Oh my ba-" I began to apologize until she cut me off, "But I like it when you say it, has a nice ring to it, ya know?" She concluded and I couldn't help but smile, "Yea it does," I concur; smiling like a Cheshire Cat. "So, anyways before you come to the cafe that's on Bow street, make sure you have the following… laptop, notebook, pen, pencil and hi lighters, oh and don't forget to get your parents opinions of your name and what it means to them, got it?" She asked me while I sit dumbfounded, "Yea, yea, sure I do," i stuttered, " You don't, do you?" She asked laughing at me, "No I don't but don't laugh.." I defended myself, "That's okay love, I'll send you what you need again but don't forget okie?" She told me while she waited for my answer, "Okie.." I responded under my breath…
~Present Day~
Gathering all I needed to go and double checking to be sure, "Laptop..pen..pencil blah blah blah…Oh the notes!" I said out loud and ran out my bedroom door to go to the kitchen to find my mum and dad. Hearing my running footsteps, my mum called out, "Don't be running in the house now!" Skidding to a stop, forgetting that I only have on socks and our house has hardwood floors throughout the house, I slipped and slid the rest of the way to the kitchen and landing in front of my mum. Looking up to her with a lopsided smile, "Good morning mum, how'd ya sleep?" I said trying not to laugh at myself and at the uncomfortable position that I was in. Rolling her eyes with a sigh, she kicked me in my left shoulder pushing me to the ground a little bit forceful, walking over me she said, "I slept fine, but you need to get ya ass up and eat something. I made breakfast." Jumping to my feet and fixing my clothes, I looked up at her and smiled bashfully, "Uh I actually can't stay for breakfast ma. I'm already late for my class project study with my friend at the cafe." I told her, "Oh yeah, you still that note right? Me and your pa's notes are on the living room table.." "Thanks ma, I'll be heading.." I butted in, "Nuh uh hun wait a minute now, don't cut me off I haven't finished." She said shaking her head at me, "My bad ma.." clearing her throat, she finished "I made toast so…," Turning away from me and grabbing the plate of toast she was referring to and passing it towards me, "Take one and eat it on the way. I can't let my child go running on an empty stomach." She smiled at me with her eyes full of love. Grabbing a toast from the plate and kissing her on her cheek, "Thanks mum, you're the best!" Running out the door after grabbing the notes and my bag, I put the toast in my mouth as I run down the road, excited I ran the whole way there, scarfing the bread whole I believe either that or I lost some of it along the way (oops?). Anyway I was only a block away until I heard some grunting and yelling in a different direction. Just walk away…I thought to myself. "AHHHH SOMEONE HEL- *grunt*" "fuck…" mumbling under my breath I jog toward the yelling coming up slow so they don't hear my approach and I took out my phone and had 911 ready to dial if I needed to do so, I come up to the corner of the alleyway and peaked down it. What I saw shocked me, two guys beating up a defenseless boy who's looks like he's 16. Shameful. I saw a metal pole that was detached from the building heavy enough to knock them.I dialed 911 and slid my phone in my pocket, I picked it up and ran up to the first dude throwing the punches and hit him square on the head making him lose consciousness, then ducked for the right flank that his partner threw and hit him on his side to make him kneel then took the final shot to knock him out. Throwing the now bent metal pole, I ran over to the boy to see if he's conscious. Sitting him upward on the wall, he looked up at me with a crooked smile and I could tell he was okay and a strong kid, "Really shouldn't have gotten involved…" he wheezed, "especially with me" he muttered at the end and made me more curious on just who this little boy is. "Hey, it's gonna be alright" I told him and took out my phone to see my phone still on call with the cops and started to answer all the questions they had and waited for the cops to arrive; I called Amelia as we waited…
