"Let me get a dime & some of those cherry-bombs." Joey asked, it's his usual. "That'll be twenty dollars, Joey. " I stated, as I took his money & walked out of the school restroom. I slide the money in my back pocket as I walk down the halls of the beloved Cassleberry High. God, how I hated this place, it wasn't always like that though. I used to love school, but once I walked through those doors my ninth grade year, my love for school was dead. I didn't become one of those, 'I don't care about my future & grades' guys. I pretty much maintain an A average & a clean record. I just do this for the money. It's dirty money but, money none the less.

"Yo Carter! Come here man!" Avery yelled from down the hall.

"You got some of those cherry-bombs for your best mate?" He stated, I slid my backpack off my back & pulled out a smaller paper back & handed it to him.

"There Ave, you really shouldn't be taking those during school. You're going to fall behind in class mate." I exclaimed.

"Oh sure, preach to me. Why don't your preach to everyone else you give them too?" He stated, I could tell he had already taken one this morning.

"I don't recall everyone else being my bestfriend or even friends for that matter." I replied, we go over this every time I give him this stuff. The only reason I do this for him is because I'd rather him get it from me, than some random.

"Okay, okay Carter. I know, I won't take anymore during school. I promise, I'll see you in AP Sci." He yelled retreating down the hall.

Avery is the star football & basketball player. One of the best we've ever had & also my bestfriend. He knows what I do, he basically figured it out on his own. Whoever said, "All jocks are meatheads, hasn't met this one." I admit he wasn't always the sharpest needle in the haystack. Once he started playing sports in high school he had to maintain a C average but after he'd gotten it, he wanted to continue to learn. I was surprised & turns out he's one of the smart jocks. His major is Veterinary Science. The study of the diseases and health maintenance of animals. So naturally science is his strongest subject. The only thing I hate is that he plays stupid around the team. To each is own right?

I headed to my locker, to grab a couple of things. I usually try to avoid going to my locker all day around, it gets tiring. I grabbed my English book just as my phone vibrated in my pocket. Its probably Sadie, she usually texts me around this time. I pulled my phone out only to see that I was right. Sadie is my other bestfriend. We've been friends for seven years now. So have Avery & I. Its always been us, Sadie is the head cheerleader. As you can see, my friends are the leaders of this school. I'm head of the social status here. This school isn't based upon being know for being a jock but its focused upon being known for your brains. I designed it that way, but I'm still normal. Sadie, Avery, & I have the top three IQ's in the school.

"Carson! Hey cutie, what's up for today?" She asked, so perky like everyday.

"First, do you have to be so perky? It burns my eyes. Its too early in the morning to be so perky." I exclaimed.

"I am the Captain of the cheer squad silly. Its my job to be perky. Since its Friday, we should go to the movies & see that new scary movie. Don't forget your plus one." She kissed my cheek & skipped down the hall.

God here we go, another movie night. How exciting, I announced in my head.

I continued my stroll down the hall. I had about twenty minutes before class. It was kind of dry today, so I set sail for class. AP English, I walked into class to see Mrs. Thomas at her computer typing in some grades. As I walk to my seat I noticed Darilyn Chambers, sitting next to my seat prompt and ready for class. What a nerd, I know I'm smart & all but he's early for class everyday. I think it has to do with the classroom being overcrowded by idiots. Thats one thing we've always had in common. I walked down the isle pulling my laptop out of my bag & setting it on my desk. He slowly turned his head to look at me but I barely paid him any attention. Mrs. Thomas soon got up out of her seat & turned to us. She looked surprise, I think its because her smartest students were in class early & sitting next to each other.

"Well I never, nice to have you both so early & together." With that she walked into the halls, probably going to the teachers lounge. I sat there rereading my homework from lastnight & making minor corrections.
"No, No it was here this morning! No please, God help me." I looked over at him panicking. I cracked a smile & he noticed. "Laugh it up, guy! I'm totally going to fail this assignment." He exclaimed, I felt bad for the dude, despite his rudeness I helped.

"Give me this, you know to be one of the top students in this school you sure don't act like it. If you saved the file under a docx. Simply go to Word & open files and, viola!" I handed him back his laptop & continued to correct my essay.

"Thanks Carson, I've been under a lot of -" I cut him off.

"Save it for someone who cares. I have my own issues to worry about." I replied, moving my things away from him to a whole other seat. It may have been kind of harsh but, oh well. I'm a very busy person & no time for anymore 'friendships' they never end well.

I looked up over to him & he looked sad. Oh man, come on. Why did I have to be so caring?

"Look Dari, I didnt mean it man. I'm just a little stressed out myself. Tell you what I'll give you a happy pack. I fixed it up myself, its free." I offered. I've been doing this for a long time & I have money stashed away so I can afford it.

"I don't want that shit! Keep it for yourself. You don't have to be so rude all the time." He yelled, turning around in his seat.

"Well, well, well ken barbie has it all figured out. Nice try but, you dont know me. I tried to be nice & look where it got me, stepping out of my character." I stuffed my laptop into my bag & walked over to his desk, stooping in front of his desk, " By the way, don't listen to everything you hear, I only sell the product. Nothing more nothing less." I stood & walked away from him.

"Where the hell are you going? Class is starting." He announced, well of course its starting. Its school idiot, instead I kept the thought in my head.

"I'm leaving, getting far away from you. Sayonara amigo.
