The following day I had to serve detention for yelling out "Twenty one!" in that really obnoxious voice that kid has in the Vine "9+10" as the answer to 5/3.1415x87/89. ( The real answer was 1.55583016057.)

I despise math.

After detention, I ran home because both my parents had to work that day. I only had to run for about two and a half minutes and then I had all to do was stroll inside and leave a note for my parents letting them know where I was for when they got home.

Jayce lived just down the street, so I grabbed a doughnut from my mom's "secret" stash and texted Rose telling her I was going over to Jayce's house and not going to do my homework at all. ( She texted back" I figured....")

I ate all but one maple doughnut (they're my favourite) so my mom wouldn't get suspicious. So I guess that means I ate 23 doughnuts. Wow; how am I just now realizing this?

I grabbed my science homework, my science text book( the thing was so old it had silverfish and cobwebs in the pages!!),just in case he was serious about working on the homework, and one powdered jelly doughnut for luck.

I doubled check to make sure I left the note and grabbed my bike to ride it down to his house.

I told him to text me his address (So I had to give him my number!!!) and he lived about four and a half miles away. And most of it was pretty level, with almost no hills!

If you're thinking that's a long way, one time I rode my bike 12 miles to the grocery store to get waffles for my mom. I also really wanted waffles that day.

I love my bike. Riding it is the only, and I repeat only, outdoor activity I enjoy. The feel of the wind in your hair, the sweet song of birds in the distance, and the instant sting of a deep, blood red stain of a scrap on your knees after a fall onto the dark tar road.

I rode for about twenty five minutes before I finally arrived at Jayce's driveway.

"What took so long?" he asked. I noticed he had redyed his hair. He was now a ginger with hot pink tip dyed bangs.

"Uuuumm."

Great start Helena, I thought.

"I.... had.... detention. Again," I motioned towards my bike" and I came on my bicycle."

You could do better, I chided myself silently, but not bad.

He opened the door and we both walked in without another word.
