Even before the Hummer flew through Eric's living room he was having a bad day. Eight hours earlier Eric sat in the principal office again waiting on his dad to come get him from his latest suspension.

Recalling what had happened less than a hour ago he hear the assistant call out "Mr. PORTER I LOVE YOU I SAW YOUR MOV-". She was quickly cut off by a man with a deep yet calm voice " Where's my son?"Once Ms. Slivy pointed to the principal office he turned on his heel and left the assistant without even a bye. Although his back was to the door and the door was open Eric could tell when his dad was there.

The principal (like all woman who meet his dad) had a glazed look. Like a deer in headlights. Mr. Porter was 6'3 with chiselled facial features, dark brown skin, low cut hair and hazel eyes with green specks. Eric always thought his dad looked fake like something off a Calvin Klein magazine.

He would never say this to his dad because Mr. Porter would laugh and say" but your my twin son". This was mostly true as Eric looked identical to his dad except Eric skin was lighter, eye green with grey specks and had longer hair.

Everyone told Eric his mom was the baddest girl at South Lake High School but that was it. Eric had never meet her he only knew she was blasian and her name was Veronica "veve". Since his dad never spoke of her Eric thought it better to think she was dead.

Still caught up in his thoughts Eric didn't notice his dad sit next to him.

"Hello Mr. Porter" said principal in her most seductive voice. Eric noted that his dad facial expression didn't change so either he didn't catch it or didn't care. Looking at his dad he noticed a red spot on his suit (this was usual as his dad was a drug king turned business man and stayed clean) but then the spot moved up to his dad head and just as he reached to grab his dad he heard a "BANG".

"BANG" Eric ears were ringing. He laid on the floor looking at his dad's blank expression. They were both covered in blood and brains as was the entire room. Not A second later Ms. Slivy came in the principal office and started screaming. Eric knew he had to move, so he looked over the desk at the principal or what remained. The bullet had missed his dad and blew the principal forehead back, leaving only her lower jaw & tongue hanging.

Before Eric could take everything in his dad was forcing him to the wall by the door. He was speaking but it was hard to hear with Ms. Slivy still in the door screaming. It didn't take long to see that he was talking about the dot roaming the room and disappeared followed by a "BANG".

The room was silent the only thing that remained of Ms. Slivy's head was a $6.98 lace front wig covered in blood. Knowing they couldn't go out the door they snuck out the side window and ran to his dad's Camero. Peeling off down the street Eric didn't know what to say ,caught up in his thoughts again. His dad phone began to ring Usher's "Here I Stand" never hearing the song as his dad ringtone let alone to an unknown number was weird.

Since his dad was driving Eric answer "Hello". A woman's voice answer "Is Andrew there?" Curious Eric asked "Who is this?". The woman replied "Veve".
