Two weeks passed , everything was great , I'd gotten that job at jamba had made a new friend in that boy Robin that surprisingly only lived a few blocks from me. He'd drive me home since we worked the same shifts. He was energetic sort of infectious his laugh and the effect he had on other people. There was never a dull moment at Jamba. It was nice having a friend to talk to at work he was also the managers favorite so that perk came in handy as well.

Robin wasn't like the other kids in our school he was from my side of the tracks , his pops owned a dry cleaners and his mom worked at a nursing home, he even bought me lunch on break his fathers cooking deserved praise from the likes of Gordon Ramsey.  He told me he'd managed to get enrollment through a family friend which was the tactic I was using so there was no Shame in the game.

He was a skater and he had dreams of going pro he even managed to convince me into letting him teach me how to skateboard I say convince because I in no way shape or form wanted to potentially learn how to bust my ass on the pavement. I could not afford to go to the hospital that was a definite. Though you shouldn't let his demeanor fool you he was a great student averaging A's on everything, I honestly didn't now how he did it especially with the whole ADHD and dyslexia thing he has going on.

" how do you do it". I said copying down his notes during a lunch break , how he managed to juggle school  , work and homework and still be all upbeat all the time

" the key is to find a balance and caffeine". He joked which cause me to chuckle

" I'm just lucky Mr. lettmen doesn't switch curriculum every year", I said closing his notebook from last year and handing it to him.

He's a senior which ment in three months he was going to graduate, he had the kind of grades that could get him in anywhere but he didn't know what he wanted. Neither did ,I not really anyways all I knew was I had to say goodbye to this place . I felt as my phone chimed and looked down.

Finneas: get me outta here

" that your boyfriend". Robin asked

" yeah he's stuck at this family thing and he doesn't really wanna be there". I responded I'd never really met Finns family I think I caught his father once but that was about it .

"Gotta hate those family gatherings huh"Robin replied

" I'm sure you all have heard about the recent news,  about the slaying of one of our very own , my very own brother Ashton. Ash gave his life to this community , gave everything he had so that each and every one of you could have this family , he shouldered the burden of a leader so that you all wouldn't be lost in this world, now he is lost to us all. These are dark times and we need to stick together, we need to make peace amongst ourselves we are brothers and sisters, lovers and mothers fathers and cousins we are one clan I'm sure this is what Ashton would have wanted". Dad spoke
