"You'll never make it." The sound of a million hammers smashed apart my eardrum as I sat up to realize my professor hit my desk with his ruler. "You'll never make it by sleeping through life, Adam." Feeling confident about not having drool dripping down my face, I responded, "You'll never make it by giving me shit."
I sat in the principles office for the remainder of the day. I was going to be given a detention, but my principle is my mom's best fried, and doesn't like delivering her bad information. So you could say I get away with a lot. Why give respect to those who don't respect me?
When the bell rang, I thanked Jocelyn for letting another one slide, and raced out the door. "Where you are going so fast, 'Adam without an apple'?" Calvin said to me. I've known Calvin since elementary. When our class bully punched me in the throat, Calvin swears up and down he punched my Adam's Apple in. "You know why."
My other best friend, Isaac, was waiting by the car.
Now let me explain, my car is parked in the Southeast wing of the school parking lot. Lucky for me, I have a perfect view of Auburn's car.
"Tony, fuck off." I turned around to see Auburn walking fast away from her boyfriend, maybe even her ex now, Tony Bolero. "It was just one night babe, why are you so pissed." I didn't realize how long I was staring until Isaac's cough made me jump. "You're a pig." She got into her car as he hung outside her passenger window. "C'mon babe." She sped out of her spot as Tony wailed about her driving over his foot.
"Another fight," Calvin began. "Another happy Adam." Isaac finished. I punched Isaac in the arm and we got in my car.
