Fixing Myra.

The Kid Who Could Change the World.

*Myra's POV*

We picked up Jordan and Cooper and got to school just as the bell was ringing.

I walked in to first period and sat next to Micha. "You were almost late, where were you?" He whsipered.

"Don't worry about it." I rolled my eyes.

"My." he said sternly. "Now."

"Fine. I was sitting on the side of the road talking about sex."

His eyes got wide. "Sorry I asked." he said putting his head down on the lab table until the teacher started talking.

Have I mentioned how much I hate science?

A few minutes before the bell rang our teacher had an announcement.

"As most of you know, the annual fall showcase is coming up. I encourage all of you to participate! Lets have a great show this year!"

Micha looked at me. "My, you should sign up."

"Don't even start." I rolled my eyes.

"I'm serious. The prise is $500 to any charity of your chosing!"

"If I think about it will you drop it?" I asked him.

"Yes."

The bell rang, and then on to my other least favorite class. Computer science.

The only bright side of it is that I have it with Cooper, Jord, and Lacey.

I walked through the door and saw them all sitting at a table together.

But I noticed a boy sitting by himself. The lover in me couldn't let him sit by him self.

Cooper waved me over, but I went to sit with the other kid.

I sat down and said "Hi."

He just looked at me and said nothing.

"I'm Myra." I smiled.

"And let me guess, you saw me over here and figured you wanted me as your partner?"

"Well, I was thinking more along the lines of friends, but if you want to be partners we could do that."

"What would you want to be friends with me for?" He asked me looking back at his computer screen.

"Why wouldn't I?"

"Probably because you're a future prom queen. And I'm the joke nominee."

I looked at him with a flat frown.

"I don't see a joke here."

"You can see that I clearly don't have any friends." he turned back to me.

I smiled. "Well, now you do."

He raised one eyebrow and then smiled. He held out his hand, "Mikey."

I shook his hand. "It's nice to meet you." I smiled.

The teacher came in and told us all to log in.

About 20 minutes in to the class I was completely lost.

Why were theres so many 0's and 1's in coding!

"Are you ok?" Mikey asked me.

"How does anyone do this stuff. I have no idea how to get out of what I just did."

He let out a chucked and pushed a few bottons on my key board and everything was fixed.

"How in the--"

"Alot of practice." He smiled.

The bell rang and Jordan, Cooper, and Lacey said they'd meet me in the hall.

Mikey helped me exit out of everything and we walked out of the classroom to see the three and Drake waiting for me to go to PE.

Drake walked over to me, put his arm over my shoulder, and gave me a kiss on the cheek. "How was class pretty?" he asked.

"Terrible. I was so lost." I noticed Mikey walking away. "Wait!" I yelled and he turned around.

I walked to him and pulled him back. "Mikey, do you know--"

"Drake, yeah. I think everyone does."

Drake held out his hand for him to shake, "Thanks for helping her in class today man!"

"Not a problem. I'll catch you later Myra, I don't want to be late."

"Bye!" I waved.

"My?" Drake asked as the 5 of us walked to the gym.

"What?"

"You know he's pretty heavily bullied right?" he asked.

"I figured. But not anymore." I said walking in to the gym.

Gym lasts 2 periods because there's a physical portion and heath portion.

So by the time we were done it was lunch.

We met up with my brothers and were just walking out of the line when I saw Mikey sitting on the floor against the wall with just a bottle of water.

Apparently Cooper noticed "You can't save them all Myra."

"But I'm damn sure going to try." I said walking over to him.

I looked down at him and sat on the floor next to him.

"Water? Just water?" I asked.

"I forgot my wallet at home."

I looked down at my tray and handed him half of my sandwhich and my brownie. "Luckily I didn't" I smiled.

"Myra, you don't have to sit with me."

"I know I don't have to, but I wanted to sit with my friend."

"Are you sure you dont wan--"

I cut him off. "I'm in training. My coach will kill me if i eat too much junk."

He smiled at me and opened the browine.

We talked through the lunch period about the things he liked. What he wanted to be. How he was in theatre production and how he wanted to go to MIT.

He reached in to his backpack to grab his notes from comp science and I noticed his wallet. It was empty. I didn't say anything though.

Just then he got called to the office.

He helped me up, said goodbye, and walked away.

I walked over to where my brothers and everyone was sitting and sat next to Drake.

He put his arm around me "Myra Rumford, you are by far the nicest person I've ever met."

"I'm nice to all my friends." I smiled.

"You threw a water bottle at me in the truck this morning because I told you to get out of my seat. " Jordan laughed.

"Well, I was there first."

"You picked on my middle name this morning." Micha added.

"Everyone did." Blake laughed.

"Wait babe, what even is your middle name?" Lacey asked him.

He looked at Drake, he was about to break. So was Blake, and so was I.

"Don't even. I'm serious!" He yelled.

The three of us looked at eachother and completely broke down. "HAROLD" we all yelled laughing.

Cooper, Lacey, and Jordan all started laughing hystarically.

"I literally hate every single one of you." He said laying his arms on the table.

The bell rang and we were about to leave the cafeteria.

But I needed to do something first.

I walked over to the cafteria lady working the register.

"Hi ma'am."

"Hello dear, can I do something for you?"

"Yes." I said pulling my wallet out. "I'd like to put $30 in to Michael Farno's lunch account please."

"Really?" she asked.

"Yes ma'am."

"Bless your little heart honey. That boy has such a rough life. This is probably the nicest thing thats happened for him in a while." she smiled taking the money.

"I just want to make sure my friend's healthy and eating." I smiled at her and walked away.

I walked back over to my friends all smiling. Blake threw his arm over my shoulder and Drake took my hand. "Incredible." Drake smiled at me.

"That kids going to change the world some day, and I don't think he knows it yet." I said looking back at the wall where we sat and ate our lunch and walking to the next class.

It was music through out history. Which I had with Drake.

Drake and I decided to be partners which was a given.

Our teacher gave us an assignment to chose a song about tragedy and come up with an evaluation and explanation to do that was due Monday.

"Want to start working on it tonight?" he asked.

"Is this just an excuse to come over?" I asked.

"We were coming over anyway, this just gives me an excuse to come in to your music room for the first time."

I rolled my eyes, "Fine."

He smiled. "Now on a more serious note. What are you doing for the showcase?" he asked.

"I never said I was doing it." I replied.

"You have to Myra." he shook his head. "People deserve to see you."

"Oh yeah, how so?"

"Well, in the sort of words of Myra Rumford, you're going to change the world someday, and you dont even know it." He smiled and gave me a kiss on the cheek.

"Well, I guess we're going to have to pick 2 songs then."

"Actually 3, Blake wants to do the showcase too but needs help."

"So you expect me to compete with my brother?" I asked.

"Oh, like its the first time." he rolled his eyes.

We spent the rest of class talking about potential songs before the bell rang.

The last 3 periods went by really fast. Next thing I knew the final bell had rang.

I met with Drake, and the guys to head home when I heard someone yelling my name.

I turned around and saw Mikey running towards me.

"Hi." I said when he got over to us.

"You put money in my lunch account?" he asked me.

"Are you mad?" I asked.

"No, I'm just wondering why?"

"Because, I was raised to believe if I have enough, I also have enough to share."

"You really didn't ha--"

"Yes I did. You're my friend. Friends take care of eachother."

He smiled at me. "I like hearing that I have a friend."

Just then Drake walked over to him and put his arm over his shoulder. "Two friends." He smiled at him.

The other 4 looked at him and Blake said "Add 5 more." as Lacey came running toward us.

MIkey smiled at us. "I'll see you guys tomorrow." he walked away.

I got in to Drakes truck with him, Cooper, and Jordan.

Drake looked at me and smiled "And he doesn't even know it yet."
