Chapter 5 Problems
______________

So I got home from Chris's house. And of course, the phone doesn't work. I got on my ancient dinosaur home phone.

Me: Hey asshole!

Chris: What up man?

Me: You have me a stupid phone!

Chris: What's wrong?

Me:I doesn't work!

Chris: Okay okay calm down

Me: No what the heck

Chris: Look did you click the top

Me: Yes

Chris: The bottom?

Me: Yes

Chris: Hm, is it charged

Me: Yes!

Chris: Come over

Me: Fine

I got up from the living room chair, I grabbed the phone, my beanie, and my backpack. I started to walk to Chris's house when Luke caught me.

"What are you doing?" He asked walking with me.

"Going to Chris's house," I replied vaguely.

"Why is that?" He asked suspicious.

He started to mess with his blond hair and look at his feet. He was trying to look innocent.

"Well he's trying to help me with phone problems." I replied.

"Is that my old phone?" He asked.

"No....not at all," I faked smiled and put it in my pocket.

We made it to Chris's house. I knocked on his door and he yelled for us to come in.

"Okay so what's the plan?" I asked.

"Luke?" Chris asked.

"Well I would get you phone but I'm not allowed to spend anymore cash," Luke sighed.

"Well bitch you got a freaking plan? Because Logan and I here are broke if you don't remember," Chris slowly explained to Luke as if he was stupid.

"I know, I know....unless we steal one," Luke smirked.

"Hell no I ain't going to jail!" Chris shouted.

"Yeah man, come on I got my mom and my little sister Lilly is finally coming home," I said.

Lilly is a 6 year little girl. We have been apart for 3 years because she's even living a better life with foster parents, all the way in California while nobody took me. I had to stay put like a damn dog in this prison called "Ghetto New York." She's gonna be home soon. She doesn't look much like me. I hope she's the same. Same blond hair, same grey eyes. I can't wait.

"It's will be a piece of cake man......is Rachel worth it?" Luke smirked.

"Dude, Rachel is just a friend," I got serious.

"So you haven't fallen for her yet?" Chris laughed.

"Shut up come on," I laughed.

"Alright let's got I wrote the plan down," Luke said.

We got on the community bus and he handed me the paper.

"We go into Walmart I make a distraction to the main phone electronics man. Logan you'll grab the phone and put it in your pocket while Chris you Cover him got it?" Luke asked looking at Chris and I with big eyes.

"Alright let's go," I smiled.

Chris and I had our hoodies up and I had my beanie on. We walked inside and found the phone electronic section I got closer to the phones.

"Shit!" I muttered.

"What?" Chris whispered.

"The phones aren't on the string thing above glass they're on display in the glass." I explained.

"Dang it." Chris said.

Luke started to make a scene but Chris was so done. He looked around and made it look like slow motion.

The world went grey to me, I saw the old man and time froze.

"Is this smart Logan?"

He shook his head and kissed my forehead.

Time got normal again and Chris smashed the glass. He grabbed the phone and yelled to run. The alarms went off and workers went after us. One of them tackled Luke and he was screaming for help.

"We can't leave him, no pack man down," I ran back after him but another worker got me and than Chris.

They handcuffed us and threw us into a cop car. One cop got in the front and started to drive.

"So did you think you were cool doing that?" The cop asked.

"No," I answered.

He looked back at me and smiled, "You're the first boy to not break down or lie."

"Well I agree with you," I smiled.

"Why'd you guys do that?" He asked.

"I really wanted a phone but I cast afford one," I replied.

We made it to jail and they put us in with other guys. They looked tough but Luke, Chris, and I did too. Even though we're 12.

One cop got us, "Two phone calls."

I have no one to call.

Luke got his mom to bail us out.

She then drove us home.

Was it worth it?

I didn't even get the phone.
