'Beep' Beep' Beep'

"Damn... morning already" I groggily said as I hit the snooze button on my alarm clock. The time read 3:45am, meaning I had an hour to get ready and be out the door by 4:45-5am at the most. With that, I dragged myself out of bed, the cold cherrywood floor hitting the soles of my feet as I made my way downstairs.

The kitchen was cold and quiet so I flicked on the switch. The dim light coming on as I poured myself a cup of bitter black coffee. With that I turned on the news, the female reporter blabbering on about some goody two shit that I could care less about. I then checked the clock on the wall.

4:27am

I groaned in annoyance as I chugged the thin black substance and put my cup in the sink. 20 minutes later I came back down, my dark blue collared shirt unbuttoned still and a tie around my neck. I quickly buttoned up my shirt and tied my tie around my neck. The clock read, 4:45am, I bolted out of the door, grabbing my bag and keys before jumping into my Ford 1996 mustang. The exhaust was going to shit but I knew I had some gas left in this baby.

It took me at least 20 minutes until i finally arrived at my school. "Rogers School for gifted teens"

Oh did I mention I'm a teen with a gift. By gift I mean I have the strength of 9 bulls and can lift up to 4,000 pounds. I noticed this gift when me and my old man, aka my dad, we're doing construction work. When my dad got hit with a boulder, I was the only one who rushed and lifted the whole damn boulder off him.

Sadly my father died that day due to injuries they couldn't heal...since then I've been having to feed my whole entire family, my mother, my two brothers, Chase and Axel, and my little baby sister, Lillian. I've been having to do everything, clean, cook, wake up and take my siblings to school, drop my mom off at her work and then go to school.

"Hey J-Dog!"

I turned my head and spotted Tanner. Me and him have been best bros since the 3rd grade, he's helped me with so much, including me having a shoulder to cry on when my father died.

"Hey what's up T-Man?" I greeted him with our original fist bump. Tanner was at least 6"1 meaning he was 2 inches taller than me, he was dark skinned, because he's Latino and African American. He had dark blue moon eyes, curly black locks, and a stubble beginning to form at the edges of his chin. He always wore his usual clothes, white shirt, black Gucci jacket, black joggers with that gold money belt and those crisp blue Jordan airs he always wore.

"Aye nothing much J-Dog, remember we have our big game tonight"

I slapped my forehead, completely forgetting about tonight's big basketball game. It was senior night meaning after the game it was prom night for Juniors and seniors.

"How could I forget about that, hey by the way, how's things with you and Tanya" I questioned Tanner as we walked to class.

"Man, we broke up real hard over the weekend, learned she be cheating on me with my own God damn cousin for two months! Can you believe that shit man"

"Shit dude, well at least you got chances with girls tonight at prom"

"Nah J-Dog, tonight is bros night, me and you partying out like its our last night"

I smiled before slapping Tanners back, he was a pretty chill guy, and probably one of my only friends.

Man it feels great to have friends like that in the world.
