Introduction (2008) Flagstaff, AZ

Ralph sat in his classroom, begging to god the bell would finally just ring. His chemistry teacher went on about a project that he had zero intentions of working on. Ralph's grades were quite bad, but it meant nothing to him. The only thing on his mind was to go outside the moment he got off of his school bus and ride his bike with his friends, Blaze and Cristofer. His fingers tapped on his desk as he was tapping out the beat to a song, Gin and Juice by Snoop Dogg. Ralphs biggest dream was to own a lowrider, and to just be that guy, the chill one.

"Any questions?" Mr. Mitchell asked about the chemistry project. Nobody raised their hand. "Alright, well then I guess you guys can go to your lockers and pack everything up for the day. The bell rings in about 10 minutes, so don't be late!" Ralph let out a sigh and then picked up his backpack from the ground, there were still some things that he had sitting in his locker, so he had to take the walk over there. The reason he was so demotivated is because it was nearly across the entire school.

While walking Ralph bumped into one of his boys, Blaze. "Yo man, so how was your day?" Blaze asked, "I mean it was okay, still stinks that we got no classes together dawg. Our trio just doesn't exist in any class now, only lunch. Damn do I miss freshman year when we had each other in almost every class. Me, you, and Cristofer were just unstoppable by those stupid old teachers," Ralph chuckled as he continued to walk and search for Cristofer. "Oh, and don't forget to hit me up on your flip phone when you're ready for that bike ride we're all doing, Blaze," Ralph shouted out to Blaze as they split ways, searching for their lockers. Blaze gave Ralph a thumbs up and continued to walk. Since Ralph was blessed with the perfect height of 6'2 at just 14, he was able to find Cristofer, who was also a tall kid, almost instantly. "Yo! Cris!" Ralph yelled out through the halls to Cris. He turned around and walked up to Ralph, "damn, that's some sick ass jeans you got, Ralph," Cris acknowledged Ralph's outfit, "thanks, they don't even touch my legs when I'm standing still. They're hella baggy," he responded to Cristofer's comment. "Hey man, before we leave for out buses, you tryna ride with me and Blaze later today?" Ralph asked while opening his locker, "yeah, sure, I got nun' going on today man," Cristofer responded as he opened his. Thankfully Cris and Ralph had their lockers close to each other, being split by only one locker, which belonged to nobody.

The bell finally rang, and Ralph went to get on his bus. He walked to the back since nobody else was on the bus yet, he took his flip phone out and rang his mom, "hey ma, is it cool if I can go for a lil' bike ride today? Be back home before 9 PM, I promise." Ralph asked and then waited for his mothers response. There was a 10 second silence before his mother responded with, "sure, as long as you're back before 9 and you aren't in the police station." Ralph stuck up a fist pump and shut the flip phone, stuffing it in his pocket. Today was gonna be a good day.
