[Mackenzee Mancini]

Mackenzee was always eating healthy and trying to make sure that she kept herself in check when it came to her weight. So it was natural that she barely ate junk food, but did eat things such as apples, pears, peaches, and grapes. She loved fruit because there were so many different types of fruit that she could eat and they all had different and wonderfully delicious tastes. Her absolute favorite though, were fresh and juicy peaches. So after school this afternoon, Mackenzee decided that she was going to go to the little supermarket that was owned by a cute little old woman. Mackenzee, even coming from all of the money that her parents had, loved shopping for her food at this little supermarket. It wasn't because it was less expensive that way she could save the extra money left over on a new pair of kicks, but it was more because the supermarket had the best fruit in the city.

Because the school wasn't all that far from her house, Mackenzee decided that she was going to drive home after school and change her clothes into something more comfortable, in her opinion, then walk to the little store. Though when she got home, her parents told her that she had to stay home that night and babysit her little sisters. Mac didn't really mind that because she was really close to her little sisters, especially since she knew that her parents were looking into adopting another child. Though this time, they were more interested in adopting an older boy, more close to Mackenzee's age. Mac wasn't too fond of the idea of being a "younger sister" instead of the older one. Although, she'd have to get over that little detail and then make sure that their new sibling felt welcome in the family and in the neighborhood and school. Mackenzee wasn't sure how she was going to be able to introduce a new brother into the school and into her group of close friends, but she promised her parents that she would try. Her friends would make their own forcing Mac and her new brother to have to live with the acceptance or denial.

About twenty minutes after she had arrived home, Mackenzee had finally been able to walk out of the house in a new outfit. She had changed from a more school type of outfit to a more of a home and relaxing type of outfit. When she was at school, everything was about maintaining an image. After school hours were different somehow though; Mackenzee would be able to dress down instead of dressing to impress. Although, she wore so many designer clothes and expensive outfits, that most people didn't think that she was dressing down in the least bit, but that's how it felt to Mac.

Walking down the street and making a right onto another street, which would lead her to yet another one, Mac pulled her iPod out of her purse and began flipping through a few songs before finally deciding on one -- Willa Ford - I Wanna Be Bad. It was just one of those songs that always seemed to put Mackenzee in a good and upbeat sort of mood, even if the song was from 2001-ish. Stopping at a stop sign at the end of the street on the corner, Mac looked both ways before going across. At the end of this street, she would have to make a right and walk a few blocks to the little store. It was a much quicker walk if you walked it, instead of explained how to go. Mac took the time to relax and clear her mind half of the time. A few minutes later, Mackenzee found herself turning right onto another street and after about thirty seconds, she could see the little store in the short distance ahead of her.

When Mackenzee finally made it to the little store, she entered and listened to the little bell on the door ring and she smiled, seeing the little old woman that owned it. Mac flashed her a smile and went over to the fresh fruit section of the store, immediately looking at the peaches. She grabbed one off of the stack and felt it, making sure that it didn't have any soft spots. When she didn't feel any, Mac wiped it off on her shirt and decided to eat this one as she looked for a few more. As soon as her teeth sank into the soft fuzz on the peach and then into the juicy orange inside of it, she felt as if she was in heaven. It was so sweet and juicy that Mac couldn't help but grab eleven more to buy a dozen total peaches. Mackenzee would pay for all of them, including the one that she was in the middle of eating currently, just like she always did when she taste tested some of the fruit that was on display. After grabbing a bunch more of the peaches, Mackenzee began her little journey around the fruit aisles to find more fruit for her stash.

[Brianna Ashley James]

Brianna was a cheerleader. Doyou know how much pressure Brianna was under being a cheerleader? If she went over 120 pounds she would be off the squad. It was bad enough that she was 110. She had gained a few pounds over the last few months or so. After she got pregnant and she had her misscarrige she had been put on a crazy diet that made her gain wait. But those days were over. Brianna was on the verge to loose some weight. Sure she was still smoking hot but she still wasnt perfect in her mind.

"Mom..I'm going out!" She yelled out of the door. Today Brianna was wearing a black mini with a white halter and some killer high heel boots. Make up and hair done perfectly. She jumped into her silver mustang and drove away. She blasted her music as she drove through the busy streets. She was playing So What by Pink. "I'm saying so what...I'm still a rockstar..I got my rock moves and I don't need you..and guess what...." Brianna was singing very loudly. Drowning out her own speakers, which were brand new. Come to think of it the care was only a few months old. She got it for her 17th birthday. Brianna had the thought that she would go to the mall but she wasnt in the mood for shopping, she had did that yesterday.

Brianna stopped in front of a little store. It seemed to be a small owned supermarket. Brianna shrugged. Maybe she could find some stuff for shakes and smoothies. You know the healthy ones that can make you look and feel better. A couple of her cheerleader friends had recomened it to her. She climbed out of the car and entered the shop. A bell dinged as she opened the door. She cuckled. She remembered as a kid she used to love to hear that bell. She looked around. She saw somebody that looked familler. She wasnt a cheerleader, so she wasnt as populare as Brianna, but she was up their and well regarded like the cheerleaders.

Brianna smiled to herself as she walked over towards the other girl. "Oh my..Do they now that your eating that without paying for it?" She asked with a playfull smile.
