It was 7:30am, and the alarm in Nick's room woke him up, "Ah!" he sighed, he didn't want to wake up now, he barely had enough sleep last night, Nick has a class by 8:30am, and it was Professor Whitfield's class, the Prof hates late Comer's so to save himself from any embarrassment, he has to make it in time. He got up, walking to the bathroom with he's Brush and paste, he hurriedly brushed he's mouth and took he's bath. 5 minutes later Nick is all set to head out, he's Grandma was on the couch, "good morning grandma" Nick greeted. Nick's grandma was a dark skinned African American woman in her mid 60's. "morning baby" she replied, "make sure you eat before you leave, your getting thin" she commented. "Ma I'm gonna be late, I'll get something to eat later". Taking he's water flask and an apple from the fridge, he headed for the door, "bye grandma" he said "bye" she replied, and he left for school.
Nick and he's Grandma lived at the bottom side, "The Hood" as it was commonly called. Well, the area was known for violence, drugs, poor housing and every other thing you could think off.
The walk from he's home to school is about 30 minutes, and the time is already 7:51am, "shit", he cursed, "I'm gonna be late" he said, "if only I had my own car" he thought, "I'd never be worried of getting late". luckily, his neighbor Mr. Rogers honked at him, "Hiya Nick" he hollered, "hey Mr. Rogers", "Are you headed to your school?" asked Mr. Rogers, "yes sir" Nick replied, "ok then hop in, let me give you a ride". Nick's heart was filled with joy, he was gonna make it to school in time!
