The Poor Boy

Chapter 1

The New Girl

-

"Jason! Go to the store and get some eggs. I'm making us some breakfast" Ralph yelled as I got downstairs. I cringed I hated being yelled at and he knew that.

"Alright!" I said as I walked over to him and took the money he gave me. I put on my dirty old converse. I sighed and walked outside to the sunny outdoors.

I started to walk to the store ignoring all the stares I got. All these rich snobby kids always have to make fun of me because of what I wear and how poor I am.

Its not my fault Ralph was fired from his job. It was a hell of a good job to paid good money. But they had to let him go.

"Look at him" I heard one of them say and I put my hood on walking faster to the store.

I sighed, stupid judgmental people. I wish they can all go to hell.

*

I made it to the store without getting jumped by those snobby kids.

I walked inside and went to get the eggs. I can tell that the store owner was keeping a close eye on me. Just because I'm poor doesn't mean I steal. I was raised better than that.

I rolled my eyes.

"Don't worry I have money" I mumbled and grabbed the eggs. As I began to walk some idiot decided to bump into me.

"I'm sorry, I really am" Some girl said. I looked at her. I've never seen her before, she must be new.

"Whatever" I said as I brushed it off.

"I'm Kate"

"Jason"

I said as I walked over to the cash register. I put the eggs on the counter.

"That's all?"

"Yes"

"That'll be $4.50" The guy said as I widen my eyes. That much for a packet of fucking eggs.

"Fucking expensive for a packet of eggs" I mumbled as I gave him five dollars.

"Fifty cents is your change"

I took my money and left. I started to walk back home with the bag in my hands.

"Jason wait" That girl said and I stopped. What the hell does she want from me? Its not like I'm going to be friends with her.

What for? She'll just abandon me when she finds new friends. Those rich snobby ones.

"What" I said as I turned around.

"I'm new to town and I was wondering if-"

"No, I'm sorry but no. Look you seem like a cool girl and all but stay away from me" I said as she looked at me confused.

"Why?"

"Because we're different. I'm poor and your rich. People will judge you for hanging around me" I said as I walked away.

"I don't care about that, I'll still be your friend"

"Yeah you say that now"

"Well I mean it"

"Sure you do"

"Well I do"

I shook my head and sighed.

"Its your choice"

"Then I'm taking the risk"

"Alright"

"So will you show me around?"

"Yeah sure, I just need to go home and give this to my guardian"

"Well can I go with you?"

"Its your choice"

"Okie, then I'm tagging along"

Some new girl alright. I have to keep my eye out on her. What if she was paid to pretend to be my friend?

Those snobby kids will do anything to torture me.
