Billions and Pain

chapter 3

Flashback
"Mom, i promise.... C'mon" Ray really hated the idea of going to public school.

"I made my decision. You are a smart kid and baby i can't do it anymore. You lied to me. You doing some business that i have no idea what it is. " Kathleen looked at her son. Through is mother's eyes he can see that she was hurting. " Ray, i need you to be prepare to take over my family's business. But you to busy partying and playing around to be focus on the business."

"What does that have to do with you sending me to public school?" Ray asked.

"Ray, you always have everything you want. You dont know what hunger is or what not having anything is. I be shocked if you know what poverty is. You depend on my money and wasting it like it came from tree.
You going to public school so you can see how kids that have nothing survive. You about to turn eighteen, if you cant take over my business someone else will. I worked to hard to be poor again."

"Fine... I'll change and .."

His mom didnt even let him finished his sentence before she said "oh you will. You going to that school and if there is no changes. I guess i will have to look for another way."

"Good night baby." she kissed him in his cheek. He was her only son and she loves him so much.

He was sitting on the sofa in the living room. He's mom was standing a front of him. He stood up, he kissed her in her forehead and say "good night bae." he walked to his room.

"School tomorrow " she yelled walking down the hallway that headed to her bedroom.

End of flashback ^^

"Ray? Ray? Ray?"

Taniz next to him tapped his shoulder to get his attention.

He turned to his left to see Taniz looking at him. He took his earplugs out before saying
"Dont fucking touch me."

"Sorrry. Mr.kishman was try to have you attention for the longest. He told me to call you."

Ray looked at the teacher. Mr.kishman was busy talking to another student.

Ray looked at Taniz again but she was already writing in her paper.

"Did mr.kishman say anything about me?" Ray asked taniz.

She slowly took her eyes of the book and looked at Ray. "We have a project and you are my partner."

she can see that Ray was not going to do the work specially with her being his partner. so she added
" and before you can say anything. Its okay if you dont want to work with me. Just let mr.kishman know"

After the last word she took her eyes of the lazy boy that was next to her back to her classwork.

"Are you a lazy kid? And how good can you speak french?"
Ray wanted to know who he about to work with he hated working with people that rely on others to do all the work.

She smile a little before saying "no im not lazy. im not so good with french. My mother speaks french and i never had time to learn everything. I understand it well and can write it. But i cant speak French, i always get nervous."

"Fine. When is that project due?"

"We have a month to do it. Its not complicated."

Ray took a sheet of paper and wrote his number on it. He handed to the girl next to him. "Text me when you wanna get started in that project."

"Mhmmm.. I dont have a phone."

"Who doesn't have a cellphone. This is 2015." he find her unbelievable. "Fine. Borrow a phone from a friend."

"My only friend lost her phone last week." it was kind of embarrassed that she only had one friend.

"Kid you sad... " he joked "then lemme know next class."

Ray waited fithteen minutes before the end of the class to do the classwork. He spoke french pretty well so the work was very easy for him to complete.
