Chapter One
"No. Not gonna happen. Never in my life. Never in a thousand years."
"I'll give you 20 bucks."
"Oh come on, doing what we're doing," I whispered as I ducked down out of sight of my other classmates. "You're gonna have to give me WAY more then that."
"Yeah, but we're gonna do it bit by bit so no one notices, but sure I'll give you more."
My friend Bucky was planning something that... well... something I can't tell you right now. Maybe after we... uh I mean he is done I'll tell you, but for now... hey come on don't close the book, I'm trying to tell you an interesting story here and you just go and do THAT! I'm offended, but for the sake of my book sales, I'll tell you.
We're gonna rob a bank.
Well hopefully anyway, if Bucky can acually rob a bank. Oh, for mine and Bucky's sake can you not show this to any police officers or even any adults at all. Promise? Good. Unless you said no then stop reading. So let's go back to the conversation shall we?
I straightened my mind and asked better questions.
"Okay, but how are you going to pull this off?" I asked
"We're gonna dig our way in." Bucky said like it was a foolproof plan.
"Dig our way through 3 foot steel floors?"
"Uhhhh, yes?"
"Uhhhh, no." I said as I shook my head. " Anyways, I gotta go, I have chores to do." I turned, waved goodbye to Bucky and started to walk down the school pathway.
"Just think about it Dave, anyways, see ya."
I rolled my eyes and continued to walk. Leaving Bucky's foolishness behind me, and trying stay on my own train of thought... on maybe what Bucky said was true, No I mean something else like... PEANUTS, ya that, just keep thinking about peanuts. Peanuts. Peanuts. Peanuts. It got a little overboard when my neighbour went to say hi but saw me muttering peanuts to myself and immediately looked back to his work.
I really did have chores to do, and you know what that is, shoveling poop, dog poop.
"Hi mom." I said as I walked through the door and petting my pet black lab Max.
" Hi, Davy. Get to work on those chores." She said from across the house.
" Peanuts!" I yelled. What!? Uhh. OK mental note,don't think about peanuts anymore. "I mean Ok mom."
The next day changed my life. After breakfest, after going down my street, after catching my breath from walking down the street, and then getting to school, Bucky was there tapping his foot nervously and darting his eyes back and forth. I tryed to walk the other way but he saw me and called me over.
" I did it." He said excitedly shaking out of his nervous state. "I robbed a bank!" he said in a hushed whisper.
" I don't believe you." I said in a sarcastic, excited tone.
He then took off his backpack, unzipped the pocket and pulled out a large wad of cash.
