"Is there a problem, Ms. Harold?" Our teacher calls me. She was so loud ans she made everyone deaf. I was 17 and I was almost doen with school but the school year just started.

"Uhm. No."

"I suggest you keep that notebook of ddodle of yours before I call your guardian." She says and turns around and walks to the front.

"You'd probably be on the phone with my guardian most of your time if you found out who my guardian was." I mumbled. Luckily, she didnt hear it.

"Lets get back to the lesson." I dreaded the whole day. I wasnt up for school yet. My band is seperated so we only talk after school. It was half day so there was no lunch.

I went to the back of the school and found me band covered in smoke and vodka. The vodka used to be a thing that we loved to do. We'd sneak some in the school through the water jugs and drink some when we want. But I stopped when dad found out. Mom wasnt mad but dad was furious, be grounded me from my music and from the band. Smoking..... Well, they never told anybody.

"Ah! Harold finally decided to show!" Jan yells in a disappointed tone. "Great to see ya Harold!" She smiles and tackles me.

"Hey Gabe!" Nic waves at me and gives me a hug.

"My man! Hows little Dhani? Had fun yet?" Andy asks.

"No! Dhani's fine and we dont plan to have sex before we get married."

"So he proposed to you?" Jan got excited.

"I said when we both get married. I didnt say to each other." I explained.

"So you dont want to marry him?" She asks again.

"I do but I just dont want him to feel obligated to stay with me. I want him to stay with me because he wants to. If it doesnt work, then we'll be friends." I shrugged.

"Just like yer mum?"

"What ever!" Andy splashes vodka to my face and we burst into laugheter. Sometimes, I just needed a good laugh even though I dont even lnow why I'm laughing.

"UNCLE GEORGE! Aunt Pattie! I'm home!" I dropped my stuff at the counter and head to the table where UNCLE GEORGE and Aunt Pattie were.

"How was school?" Aunt Pattie asked with a sad tone.

"Okay, I guess."

"We got a call from the principal." I looked at her and started listing my excuses.

"What about?"

"Your doodle notebook." UNCLE GEORGE butt in. "She said you dont listen in class and just doodle all day."

"She told us to come with you to school tomorrow." Aunt Pattie added. I looked down in shame!........ Lol.

"Ay, dont be sad. We're not gonna scold ye, luv. I was once a kid and that was normal. Yer mum and I always did all the bad stuff." He giggled.

"I dont want it to be taken away."

"We were never going to. We love it when you enjoy and we hate to see children sad. We dont want to be the reason you dont become what you want to be." Aunt Pattie added...... Its so touching! I could just cry!

"We'll just give her some autographs and we'll be done with it. It go screaming home to her neighbors that she shook my hand and got a picutre of Pattie." UNCLE GEORGE, what a joke. He handed me two plates and gave me some fish 'n chips wrapped in newspaper.

I take a bite and I could feel the taste rush to my throat completely soaking it with oil. "Never gets old."
