What He Wore
Skip To Gym
I took my hoodie of and got ready for my workout. I grabbed my beats headphones and put them on, before grabbing my phone and started playing 'Look Alife" by Drake. I got on the ground and started to do my push ups, making sure to go al the way down before getting back up. I did about sixty pushups, before moving to sit-ups doing eighty sit-ups.
I got up from the floor and walked towards the cardio machine. I got on, turned it on and started my indoor run. I did ten laps before turning the machine off and sat down on an empty bench close to my bag. I got out one of my water bottles from my bag, I always carry two water bottles, because I drink water a lot. I opened the bottle cover and drank half the bottle in no time.
I placed the cover back on the water bottle tightening it, before placing it on the ground. I got up getting ready for my last three work outs.
I walked towards the bench press and added some weights to it. I laid on the bench before lifting the hundred and ten pound weight, taking huge breathes too keep my mind focus and my body relaxed. I lifted the weights for six minutes straight, doing twelve bench press. Great accomplishment for me.
I got to the pull up bar, grabbing unto the bar and lifted my self up, doing forty pull ups. I let go of the bar landing on the ground heavily but keeping my balance. I moved to the boxing section, immediately grabbing the jump rope, doing a hundred jump ropes.
I rearranged the ropes putting back where I saw it, before wrapping some bandages around my hand and putting on boxing gloves. See am good at many things and most of those things I really love doing, like singing, rapping, dancing, boxing, painting, drawing and sculpting. Am also very good at basketball, football and soccer, but we will get to that later.
I went to an empty punching bag and started throwing some hard punches, memories of what I went through in Nigeria at the hands of my so called aunts and uncles coming back, they where painful most of them which I hid from my mom, brother and sister, because I know they will flip and go crazy.
I bounced back a lil before bouncing forward throwing a right punch, then a left and a few kicks. After 30 minutes I was done with my work out. I went to the locker room and got in an empty shower to wash of the sweat and grime. I moisturized my body with lotion before getting dressed in something comfortable.

My phone suddenly started ringing and I took it out my pocket to see the caller ID was Dave. I answered "Yo, whatsup man." I heard a lil background noise before he started screaming "I told, I told you man. Shit lil homie you did it. Your done made some huge hits mann. Your songs are blowing up." wait what he just said, my two songs are what?
"Are you saying that, the... My songs were a huge success." I said still unsure " nah it was a damn failure, of course it was a huge success I just said that ain't I." he said sarcastically, this nigga.
But I don't care he just my song was a big hit, am so happy. I don't think anything could bring me down today. The way he sound with all that yelling I had a felling he wasn't lying. "Look lil homie check the billboard 100. I got to go, but congrats bro. Yo earned it. Keep working hard like that and you could do even more. Now go celebrate with your family." he said before hanging up.
I quickly checked my phone to see that my song close friend was number 50 on the billboard chart grabbed my stuff and left the gym building, but as I was leaving I noticed some people looking at me and whispering, I don't care about that right now. I got in my car that my brother got for me, for my sweet sixteenth. I swear in the future I'mma pay him back for all his kindness and help.
I drove towards my house blasting to some music in great joy. I arrived home and rushed into the house "there go my superstar." I heard already knowing it was my elder brother Odell, "Yoooo " I yelled as I jumped into his arm "am so proud of you mann. I knew you could do it." he said as he hugged me tightly as we were basically jumping around like children.
"Would guys stop jumping, sometimes I wonder how many babies am surrounded by. But congratulations, son. Am so proud of you." my mom said as she hugged me and I gladly accepted it, because if you did not realize am a momma's boy so is Odell but me, most of the time. I basically grew up with my mother not knowing my father, so I sort of have an excuse.
"TWIN" Eva yelled as she ran towards me and jumped into my open arms, as I lifted her of the ground. "Hey sissy." I said as I put her back down. "congrats, you really did it. I knew you could it, I always knew. Am so proud of you twin." she exclaimed making me chuckle. "Thank you. Couldn't have done it with y'all love and support, so thank you fam." I told them as we all came together for a family hug.
My phone started ringing, I took it out my pocket to see unknown number written on the caller ID. I answered "hello" there was a long pause, before the person talked just as I was about to hang up.
"Hello is this Michael Thomas." "Yes, yes it is. " I replied
"Well Daniel. This is Jason the CEO of Def Jam and I would like to talk to you about signing you into the record label." he said making everyone in the room including me gasp. (BTW I don't know who the CEO of Def Jam is.)
"Umm, here sure. I mean... Sorry am just in shock and still trying to process what you just said." I replied, he chuckled "its alright. I could understand. Am currently in New York. How about we meet tomorrow, so we could talk better." I nodded my head like he could see me or sum.
"Yes sir." I said quickly, he chuckled again " please refrain from calling me Sir, it makes me feel old. Just call me Mr. Bell or matter fact you can call me Jason. Which ever one doesn't really matter. But yeah I will send you the address of my office, so we could meet." he said and I replied with a quick 'alright' before he hanged up.
"Oh my god. I can't believe that Def Jam wants to sign me. This day is just getting even better." I draped my arms around my sisters shoulder "we need to celebrate this. This shit big." Odell exclaimed before he got popped in the mouth.
"Owww. Momma, Why?" he pouted making me and Eva chuckle. "Watch your mouth. Your not to old to get whooped." my mom replied, "but mom your a Christian. Your not suppose to hit me." he said making everyone bust out laughing.
"Oh my god Odell. You won't kill me with laughter. But it is written in the bible that if you no do not chastise your child when he or she does wrong then your not helping that child. So Odell, my jewel. This is my way of loving you okay." she replied with a chuckle as I tried to control my laughter at Odell's facial expression. "Where does this it even state this in the bible." Odell said in confusion "I feel like your making this up." Odell said loudly as he followed our mom to the kitchen.
A/N: BTW my mom and dad literally say this when they hit me, just to make their self feel better.
Anyway here is a quick peak of how Michaels body is going to look like:
