CHAPTER 10

Today being a Saturday, she woke up early on full spirits, took a long shower tied her hair into messy barn. Walked in her full closet chose black jeans, black crop jacket with word written 'try me bitch' and black Nike's.

She walked in the kitchen to find Mary preparing breakfast, "hey Mary," She nodded buck smiling at Sage. "Let me help." Some times when Sage wasn't busy she helped Mary do the cooking.

"You don't have to; today is Saturday you should go out and enjoy your small holiday." Sage just shrugged her shoulder took an apple and left.

At the gate sat this old funny man, he was always friendly and treated people with respect. She walked to him and called,

"Catch" which was UN expected but he still caught it, which made Sage salute him and he returned the salute and the both laughed.

"What! You thought I was old bones?" he bites the apple showing how strong his teeth were. "I'm still in good shape. Sage smiled and left. She took a taxi to the old gallery.

She had been visiting the old man, and they become friends. She found out that the old man had lost his family in which they never looked for him. He got into an accident and didn't have money to pay for his surgery so he sold his belongs.

After the surgery was left penniless, but found this old building which owner offered him the house for free.

"What are we doing today, she walked handling him a bag." He shook his head declining but she shoved it to him anyway.

"You really don't have to." He signed taking out coke and a burger out. He didn't want to look like he depended on her for food, he was ok before. Not that he was complaining. She helped him a lot.

"I do what I want." She helped clean the walls. "We need to save some money so we can renovate this place, what are your thoughts?" she collected the cans throwing them in the bin.

"No one is doing anything…seriously Rae you're doing too much." Sage signed sitting next to him.

"I'm not doing this for you, am doing this for us." She pointed from him to her. "It's so sad that we are bunch of losers, don't you think?" Mark the old man raised his brows how dare she call him a looser, if she knew who he was.....

"No, no don't give me that shit of how you were kinda 'powerful' before your down fall, you fell my friend" she laughed hard, it was really fun annoying this man. "Now let's focus on how to get our lives better."

The rest of the day was uneventful they chatted which ended up with a small fight and here was Sage in the kitchen with ice on her cheek. Damn that grumpy pant needs to treat me like a lady.

"What happened to your face, damn you look..."

"Look what?" Sage rolled her eyes at Ben's cringed face, seriously this dumb ass. Ben took an apple with his greasy hands.

"What want to have a bite?" Sage sat taking her phone off her pocket.

"Nope I'll pass, who would have thought that the 'mighty' Ben eats dirt" Her phone went off and she smiled at her phone.

He walked slowly behind her to read the message but she bit him to it. "What now, you have a boyfriend?"

"You want to be my boyfriend?" she spat laughing. Ben sat quickly making a disgusted face.

"Gross! Why you out of all girls? You're not even my type. Damn girl look at yourself." Sage was hurt by what he said, not that she wanted to date him that would be like incest. But she wasn't that ugly why were the all the boys rubbing the word on her face?

"Damn, it wasn't that personal Ben I'm not that bad." She smiled weakly. Nathan come in dropping his bag down and walked to the dispenser and drank water.

"What's up with your faces?" he placed the cup on the counter.

"Ben said that he wanted to be my boyfriend," Ben's faces become sour and that made her so happy. She loved annoying people. She waved and went to her room.
