When we made it there, we took everything and picked our rooms. Jacob chose the room by the water. "Hey, we're going out in a few, you ready? Oh, you got your stuff?" Craig asked.

He laughed, "Yeah, I made sure I brought all of it from my shoe box down the shopping bags in my closet" 

"Good"

"STOP BEING SO SECRETIVE!" Christian and I shouted.

"Since we quit, I think we should tell them" Craig suggested. They both went to their cars and brought in a bunch of bags. They both had five big bags in each hand and flipped the bags over on the bed and money spewed out of them. Our mouths dropped "And that's not it" They flipped the other bags over and more money came out. It was so much that the bed couldn't even hold it all. "That's still not it" They went back out and they both came back in with four bags in each hand. "We do this" Craig said, while pouring it all out. Jacob came in behind him and did the same thing. Money was piled up on the bed and on both sides of the bed. "And that's all saved for-"

"No, don't tell them yet'" Jacob stopped him, "We'll wait until the middle of our Senior year so they won't have to suffer as much as we are right now"

"Suffering?"

"Yeah, you know how you can't wait for something exciting?"

We nodded, "Well this is it"

"How long did it take to get all of this?" I asked

"We started in seventh grade" Jacob smiled.

"And been hustling since then" Craig added.

"What about Ray and Trey?"

"They're doing the same thing, we'll tell you the rest our senior year. Oh, and I'm done with your surprise, I just need a few other things for it and you'll have to wait to give it to you because I don't have exactly everything and it won't be the right time until then"

"Well damn, now I can't wait until Senior year" I leaned back on the wall and pouted. They started putting everything back in the bags and we helped. "I have a feeling you'll love it, Portilla" 

When we finished they put them all in Craig's closet and we left. 

We went to Chili's and ate there. Jacob was slouched back in his chair and Craig looked around and saw some girl about to pass by and threw a napkin over Jacob's face. "Craig, what the fuck" he flung it off and the girl stopped, "Jacob? I didn't expect to see you around these parts, what are you doing here?" 

"I'm with my girlfriend Bianca, Craig, and his girlfriend Christian" We looked at eachother and then looked at Jacob. "Okay, well I'm Ashley" we shook hands. She was dark skinned, gorgeous, with long pretty hair, a model figure and she was tall, but not as tall as Jacob. How could he have left her alone? "I'm sure he hasn't talked about me"

"He did once, but that was at the beginning of our relationship" 

"You guys have a relationship? How cute" Her smile looked a little broken. 

"So you work here?" He asked,

"No, I'm here with friends"

He nodded and looked around for them, "So how's Ray?" he asked. She rolled her eyes and put her hand on his shoulder "You're still mad about that?"

 "I can't be, if I don't want anything to do with you after that. I just wanted to know how you two were"

"I talk to him sometimes' She lifted her hand of his shoulder and put bothf of them in her pockets
