Knock, knock

The sound of the gavel hitting the podium.

"300 hours of community service." stated the judge

"What the hell!" I said outraged

"Maybe you shouldn't egg 20 houses in one night." he said sarcastically.

"Fine!"

"Court dismissed!" yelled the judge striking the podium one last time.

As I left the court room I revived a paper with details on it.

Start date: Tomorrow December 4th

End date: N/A

Location: Mama Dee's soup kitchen for the homeless.

I met my dad in his car outside.

"What did you get?" he asked

I handed him the paper with the details and he reads it to himself.

"Well son it sucks to be you." he said while handing back the paper.

Asshole

He starts the car and puts it in drive.

"Did your friends get the same sentence?"

"Yeah except for Todd. His dad payed his way out of it. He said something about his reputation." I explained.

"Reputation, reputation, reputation, oh I have lost my reputation!" my dad recited.

Here he goes...

"Do you know who said that?" he asked

"Oh I don't know, Shakespeare?" I answered sarcastically.

"Shakespeare." he confirmed nodding his head.

My dad has this weird obsession with Shakespeare, like I wouldn't be surprised if he got sexually aroused by him. Oh my god! what if he makes mom dress up like Shakespeare.

Stop thinking about that Sam!

We pulled into my driveway and we both excited the car. I quickly ran inside trying to avoid my mother and I plopped on my king sized bed. I saw that I had a text from Keith.

Keith: SAM!

Me: what?

Keith: 300 fucking hours!

Me: yes I am aware.

Keith: I'm not sure I'm mentally prepared for this!

Me: you're never mentally prepared for anything.

Keith: okay smart ass! can you pick me up tomorrow?

Me: sure I'll be there at 10:00

Keith: thanks bro

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next day I pulled up into Keith's driveway and honked. Before I could honk again he was out the door headed to my car.

What the hell is he wearing?

He sits down in the passenger seat and catches me looking at him.

"What?" he asks me confused

"What are you wearing?"

"I read this thing in a magazine that girls dig guys..." he pauses for dramatic effect I'm guessing

"Dressed as cowboys!" He finishes his sentence.

"You're a fucking idiot." I say while starting the car.

"Your not going to be saying that when the chicks are lined up to get with me."

"Okay dude, whatever." I say while rolling my eyes.

I back out of his driveway and head to the soup kitchen. The ride was silent until I asked "What girls are you trying to impress today?"

"I'm sure there are some homeless babes there."

"Do you hear yourself?"

"Yes I wear glasses not hearing aids."

"They're homeless! And dirty!"

"And desperate..." he said with a smirk on his face.

We got to the soup kitchen 5 minuets before our first shift. As we walked In we were greeted by a very tall man in a hair net and apron giving us the tour. Once we got to the kitchen he introduced us to the main server and gave us each an apron and hair net.

People lined up to get there soup one by one and in a matter of time I was serving chicken soup to about 100 bums.

Towards the end of the line I spotted a girl. Her brown hair covering her beautiful green eyes. She was tall and thin and beautiful. I didn't realize I was staring until the lady in front of me cleared her throat attempting to get my attention.

By the time I looked back up I spotted Keith already trying to get her social security number.

"Fucking idiot." I mumbled under my breath rolling my eyes.

At our lunch break Keith was dying to tell me about her.

"Did you see that girl?"

"No..." I lied

"She was so hot!"

Beautiful I corrected in my head

"Do you think she's into cowboys?"

"Don't know." I said dismissively

I got up to put my bowl in the dish tray and I bumped into someone.

It was her.

I just looked at her as she was apologizing.

Her voice was memorizing

I snapped out of it and finally said "Watch where your going!"

"Im so sorry." she said wiping soup off of me.

"What ever."

That was the end of our conversation.

Why am I such an asshole. Wait Sam snap out of it she's homeless! Imagine what that would do to my reputation!

Reputation, reputation- get out of here dad!

But wow she was beautiful.
