It was hard being friends with Jacob Emanuel Perez. Simply because he was stupid. He had no book smarts nor common sense. Don't get me wrong he was smart. Smart enough to be the schools biggest trouble maker ,and somehow managed to pull Chresanto in it.

As of now Chresanto Remelo August sat in the principal office next to Jacob. His leg shook from nerves for he had never been in this much trouble before.

Jacob rolled his eyes at his friend. He was so overly dramatic it hurt. Sure they could possibly go to jail today, but key word. Possibly.

"Would you calm down. "Jacob said.

Chresanto glared at him. "I can't just calm down Emanuel! We could go to jail today! I can't have that on my record! Unlike you I want to have a successful career!" he snapped.

Jacob ignored the low blow rolling his eyes once again. "First of all , stop calling me by my middle name. Second , we're not going to jail. Just sit back and relax. Let daddy here do all the talking. Okay sweet cheeks?" he cockily said kicking his feet up on the desk putting his hands behind his head.

Chresanto pushed his feet off the desk punching him.

"Ow!" Jacob whined.

"Fine I'll sit back ,but if we go to jail and some big ass guy name Bobo trying to dick you down in the shower, I'm not helping you." he hissed punching him again.

"Ow! For a nerd you hit hella hard!" he whined.

"That's low Santo...that's low..." Jacob shook his head disappointed.

Chresanto just rolled his eyes while folding his arms.

The door opened. The boys looked up to see a very angry Mr.Wallace. Chresanto sat up straight immediately, while Jacob just looked bored with the situation.

"Good Morning Mr.Wallace. " Chresanto politely greeted.

"Good morning Chresanto. " he greeted with a slight smile.

Mr.Wallace and Chresanto looked at Jacob expectedly. When Jacob didn't say anything Chresanto nudged him.

"Oh..uh sup." he nodded with a smile.

"Jacob. " Mr.Wallace said with a grimace.

Mr.Wallace cleared his throat placing his hands on the desk.

"I understand you boys played a little prank earlier on yesterday. "

Jacob was quiet and Chresanto shook his leg nervously. Jacob kicked him giving him a look. Chresanto stopped immediately.

"Would you like to explain yourselves?" he asked.

"I don't know what prank you speak of Mr.Wallace. " Jacob calmly spoke.

"Okay. Does you and your friend here recall egging the vice principle's car ring a bell?" he asked.

Chresanto bit his lip nervously.

"No sir. I don't recall. " Jacob said stroking his chin.

"Ok." Mr.Wallace said.

He went in his draw taking out a manilla folder. He opened it and laid out a photo.

Jacob and Chresanto leaned forward to take a look. It was a photo of Jacob throwing an egg and Chresanto was holding the carton.

Chresanto face palmed and Jacob just slowly sat back.

"Familiar now?" Mr . Wallace smirked.

"Yes. Very familiar, but sir I wouldn't call this act being a devious prank. " Jacob said putting quotes around "devious" and "prank".

"Well what do you call it Mr . Perez. " he asked interested.

He really wanted to know what bullshit was going to leave his mouth today.

Chresanto prayed that Jacob said something realistic.

The young trouble maker cleared his throat sitting up.

"This was a generous deed Mr.Wallace. Those were not just ordinary eggs. Those were good luck eggs. You see back in Mexico we egg cars out of appreciation. I really appreciate Mrs. Smith ,and I had to show my gratitude. Chresanto just agreed to help me with this very sacred tradition." Jacob passionately lied.

Chresanto put his head down thinking God must be busy at the moment.

"Is this true Mr.August?" Mr.Wallace asked.

"Uh..yes sir. Very true. " Chresanto answered.

Mr . Wallace sat there for awhile staring at them. Chresanto palms were sweating. Jacob sat relaxed. He felt that was the best lie he ever told.

"Very well then. You may go, but no more egging cars. That's called vandalism here in America. " Mr.Wallace warned pointing a disapproving finger at Jacob.

Jacob smiled. "Yes sir. See ya tomorrow James. " He farewelled strolling out the room with his book bag lazily over his shoulder.

"It's Mr . Wallace to you Jacob!" he yelled back.

Jacob ignored him exiting the office.

Chresanto sighed standing up to leave.

"Mr.August." Mr . Wallace said getting his attention.

"Y-yes Mr.Wallace?" He asked nervously.

"I hope you know I only let you boys off ,because you are one of my favorite students. You have a bright future ahead of you. Don't let anyone mess it up. Not even your closest friends. " he spoke referring to Jacob.

Chresanto nodded. "Yes sir."

Mr . Wallace nodded back taking out paper work.

Chresanto grabbed his belongings rushing out the door.

Jacob leaned against the wall waiting on him.

"What took you so long?" he asked pushing off the wall walking towards his locker.

Chresanto followed. "Uh..he wanted to discuss my grades."

Jacob looked back suspiciously. "Your grades? What's wrong with them?" he asked.

"Nothing. He just wanted to say how..uh..proud of me he was." Chresanto stuttered.

Jacob nodded. Chresanto sighed in relief.

"I can't believe he actually believed that shit of a lie." Jacob laughed.

"Yeah." Chresanto laughed with him.

He's so stupid. he thought shaking his head walking the rest of his way to his best friend's locker.
