The True Story Of Jacub S.

Ch. 1 just another day

BUZZ!! BUZZ!! my hand slaps the alarm. Time for another day in paradise. Not sure why I call it that, no likes school and it the last place that could be call paradise.

As I throw my covers off I realise how cold it is and want to put them back on top of me. Swinging my feet to the floor, I wish I could just stay in bed, but that not an option anymore. I have to go. As I begin to head upstairs I can hear my mom is already up and in the kitchen not sure doing what. I head straight to the bathroom, and turn the shower on.

As I'm about to get in I hear my mom say something on her way out the door to work. Couldn't really make it but I just say ok and get in the shower. The hot water feels good going down my back. It's the start to my morning routine, I wash the dirt off of me from last night and I run my hands threw my hair feeling the grease that built up yesterday at work. " shit do I work today I can't remember?" I hop out the shower and text John

(Text Messages with John)

Me: hey man I forgot if I work today, you got the schedule?

John:yeah I got it your off today why got planes with cam?;)

Me: come on man you know I just ended things with her. sometimes I think you can hear cars better then people

John: oh shit that's rite sorry bro. And I do, cars have less problems XD

Me: ant that the truth see you at school

John: yup

Once I was ready I walked out the back door I looked around and lit my morning cig. Then I began my walk to school. Man I wish I could drive again. Stupid laws so what if I had a plant in my car not like I was trying to sell it, or anything. "Damn it's cold," I say under my foggy breath as I flip my hood up. I get to the end of my street and turn toward the school. I hear zack and his little brother laughing as they walk up behind me.

" how's it going guy" I ask them as they catch up to me.
" To cold to feel my hands" Gavin reply. As zack keeps silent I look at him noticing his lip is swollen again.
" yo if you guys ever need to get away from him I'm just a block away" zack shakes his head say nothing and Gavin just looks down not saying anything. Two of the coolest kids I know and they have a shitty life must suck having a dad like that.

The walk was quit after that as we get up to the school we see Sam walk up. " how's life my gu-" he stops when he see zack "damn man that doesn't look good how'd that happen?"

After a minute of him not saying anything I said "Gavin thought it would be funny to put a rock in a snowball" I tried to make it a joke cause not zack or Gavin could say a thing. Zack gave me a look that said thanks followed by Gavin laughing. We all know it wasn't a snowball but their dad that did this. It makes me sick, but he'll get what's coming to him.

We walk in and I head to my normal spot on the stairs so I can see everything that's going on. I say bye to the guy as the walk off. There's still about 20 minutes till school starts, so I put my head set in and blast some punk music. Watching the people live life, talk to friends and act like they don't mind giving up there day to be at a school they hate. Or maybe that's just how I feel.

As my song ends I look over and see cam walk in she sees me looking I hate that I see her. I thought getting over her would be easier. She walks by and goes and talks to some guys. My eyes fallow her out of reflex then threw the loud music I hear someone say my name it's R.N she's a friend of mine who's always had my back.

"Stop staring she's going to win that way"

"Really I thought I won by breaking up with her" I replied pausing my music

"You may have won the battle but not yet the war" she said feeling pretty smart.

"Ha ok I get what you mean" I really didn't like the way it sounded in my head but it made sense. R.N was pretty smart when it came to that stuff.

The bell rang and we head to class I split off from R.N and headed to the shop. Automotives may be the only reason I still come to school. I'm not sure what it is about cars that I love so much but there's nothing like fixing one and knowing that you did it. Plus I love to drive so I guess that's another reason. The day goes by fast it's all part of a routine. Befor I knew it the day was over and I was heading home. I walk alone at the end of the day so I can clear my head and listen to some music.

As I walk up to the house I see mom get in her car. She's working two jobs cause she can't afford not to it kills me to see her work so hard I try to help when I can. I slow down so she can leave without having to wast time talking to me. I stop at the garage and open it.

As the door goes up I can see my baby, my pride and joy. A 1967 Shelby Mustang. I worked all summer to get her. I have to fix the engine and get a new paint job but other then that she's perfect. I open the hood and lite a cig.

"Yo aj what's up?!" its Jim my brother from another mother. he walks up to the car with brit his girl. "So how long you going to be working on this car. It seems like you've had it forever and it still don't run"

"Well if I didn't have you guys here distracting me all the time maybe I would be done" I said with a smirk on my face. "Only a few more parts I need and she'll be good as new."

"Great, can't wait to see it run." Brit says holding onto james.

They took a seat and watched me work on the car. It felt like only a few moments went by but befor I knew it the sun was down.

"We are heading out bro stay safe" I heard Jim call from behind the car. Perfect timing for me it was about time to go to work.
