"You ready.", I asked.

"For what?", Mario asked.

"Tonight's our first deal.", I said, excitedly.

"Oh, yeah.", Mario said. It had been 2 enjoyable days of relaxation. We actually did a lot writing, surfing, karate, soccer. It was fun but now we are back in the normal routine. Back in our normal lunchroom. Eating our normal salads. Doing our everyday thing.

"Why, just an 'oh, yeah'", I said blandly.

"Because, it's stressful", Mario said making a face.

The noise is the cafeteria was louder than ever. Seniors screaming at the freshmans. Kids throwing kids at other kids.

"We are bringing guns. We can't go there unarmed.", I whispered.

" okay", Mario said. the bell rang indicating that everyone had to go to class. everyone rushed out of the lunchroom as if their life depended on it.

"I have to go to class I'll catch you after school.", I said.

"Okay I'll see you later man.", Mario said.

RING!

I waited for the teacher to release us, before running through the halls. I got to my locker seconds before the final bell rung. I grabbed my stuff and pulled my homework out. I stuffed it into my bag and ran out the door. I turned into our spot when no one was looking. It was Mario's turn to drive again. He was already there waiting for me. He had his headphone in and didn't see me walk through. I ducked one of the branches of the tree. I ran to the passenger side. I got in and climbed over to the driver's side and waited for Mario to look up. He wasn't there. I looked around and he wasn't anywhere around the car. I heard a growl. I was really confused. Mario popped up and screamed at me. I jolted back.

"Oh my god.", I screamed. Mario was laughing.

"That... was... so... funny.", Mario said between laughs.

"No it wasn't.", I said.

"Whatever you say.", Mario said as he opened the door. I hopped into the passenger seat. Mario turned on the car and turned on the radio.

"To Harry's house.", Mario said.

"To Harry's.", I responded. We drove. Listening and singing along to the music. Once we arrived I jumped out. We walked through the doors, confident as possible.

"What are you doing here?", Harry said. He looked as if he was about to walk out the door as they walked in. He was with his wife.

"Who are these boys, Harrald?", she asked.

"Harrald?", I said.

"Harry, whats going on?", Mario asked.

"Just wait for one second, Honey.", Harry said, very sweetly. A tone he never used with us. He dragged us behind his big swirly staircase.

"What are you doing here?", he changed tone as quick as he did before.

"We need the stuff.", Mario said.

"I gave you the stuff 2 Tuesday.", Harry said.

"No you didn't.", Shawn said.

"Are you saying you lost 2 bags of meth. Not one, but two.", Harry said.

"Come with me.", Harry said.

"Um, ok.", we both said. He dragged us off. To his office.

"Don't worry, honey. This will only take a second. They want to work at Anderson Toy Company. I guess Joe sent them here to get resumes.", Harry said. To pushed open the door. He grabbed a bag of meth and throw it at us. I caught it.
