A Homeless Man's Life

Chapter 1 The Bet

Hi my name is Nick arch.And I am 34 years old.This is my life.I was in school when I was 15 and my friend made a bet that I couldn't stay on the roads for 3 weeks.When I heard those words come out of his mouth I worried and spit out words.This is what I said "FINE FINE FINE I will do that ohh and what do I get for it?"He said "Well,you get to have a 12 billon dollar dimond"is that good enough for you?"I looked at him in the eyes and hesitated to say yes but finally I said y-y-yes.Oh and by the way,Owen,my friend is very rich.So anyway,Owen winked at me and then the bell rang.I almost fainted when he walked away.When I was walking to class I was thinking how dumb I was for making that desision.When I got into the classroom I had a vision that everyone was looking at me HARD in the eyes thinking how dumb I was.I had to shake my head to stop getting visions.SPLAT! Someone took out a egg and cracked on my head.The yoke hung down over my head and quickly went onto my nose.Standing there looking at the yoke on my nose cross eyed I knew that I wanted to go home REAL quick.BEEP!the speaker in my classroom said "excuse me but may I have Nick Arch for dismissal his mom is here to pick him up."I punched the air in happiness.My teacher said "Nick get your stuff together."So I went to my locker and got my gym clothes and my backpack and my dirty shoes.Then I did NOT wave at my class I just ran down the hallway jumping for joy.But I had to slow down because the principle saw me sprinting down the hallway into the lobby."MOM!!" "THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!"I shouted.My mom looked at me like I was a different person."Mom?" "What's up with you?" she said she wasn't doing to well with her health. I said "well why did you get me out of school early?"She did not answer the question she just said we had to go to the doctor tomorrow.So we went outside to the car and I saw that my mom was acting dizzy.
