Not Into Her

XXXIII - The First Case: Investigation

March came and I and my band-mates are about to say goodbye to our school. It's the first day of March and I and my band-mates are having fun in making songs and music videos for the past seven months and it was a nice run for our career. As we look through the open gates of the school, I remembered the times when I also walk on my secondary school and this feelings is also what I felt that time, excitement for the new days of my life.

The career that we took heard around the school for the past two months. Well, that was a good news and the school have some proud students who proudly called themselves as students of the school. The management is very happy to have us here, studying on their school, while the administration played our songs throughout the day. I and the boys even have some students and friends who bought our first album and signed their album when they reached us.

Mr. Flannagan called us and told us that we sold three million copies of albums in just three months. Well, that's a good news from a big start. And very happy with it. Three days later, the recording company gave us our shares and I and the boys immediately took them to our bank accounts. We all received almost four million each and some of these money are on our bank accounts for future use. I and the boys are very awed to our savings as we walk to our classes with great smiles.

Lunch came on the graduation week and the boys walked with me towards the cafeteria. As usual, the cafeteria is filled with students and the people lining at the counter is still long. We walked to the line and immediately took our food for the noon. We walked to the usual table and immediately ate our food. We're still happy with the pay the recording company gave us and we didn't tell anyone about this. It was the very first album that we made and it almost hit the charts on the radio.

I looked at the boys and saw they're still happy with the pay. So I spoke up.

"So what are you planning to do after graduation?" I asked the boys, taking some mashed potato from my plate.

"Continuing making music." they replied.

"I mean what are you gonna do after graduation," I pardoned. "while waiting for another set of lyrics?"

They think of other alternative ways to make money while waiting for the company to call. Then they looked at me without anything to think of.

"What will you do, Alex?" they asked me back. "What will you do as you waited for the company to call us?"

"Me?" I chuckled. "I'm gonna be on detective duty as I wait for them to call. That's why I enrolled as a Criminal Justice major almost four years ago."

Graduation Day came and I smiled at the boys when we heard our names our loud. They've got their parents with them and I only got Uncle Bobby with me as my guardian for the event. I looked at Aunt Brenda and smiled as I was been called to have the batch's Suma Cum Laude or the highest award of all academic.

After Graduation, I and my band-mates walked to our different paths and they also did what I told them. Erick took his job as a banker on a famous bank around DC and became the branch manager of the said bank. Vincent took his job as a History professor at University of Phoenix in Washington and became a respected professor due to his discovery on the Crustacean Period. And Danny went to his job as a ophthalmologist at Howard University Hospital and stayed their for three years before moving to MedStar Washington Hospital Center.

I pursued myself to become a true green card holder of the state before I get a job. I already have a green card of myself three months after graduation and before I sign up as a police officer to start my dream. Then I signed up for a job in Metropolitan Police Department and became a legitimate police officer in just one week.
