"Your not droppin out of school Richard! Do you want to end up like me and your father?"

"No mom but I can become someone out there.Your brother nick can give me that architecture job."I shot back

"And what if he doesnt?"My mom asked

"Then I will find another school to go to".I said trying to calm down

"Well your not quitting school"My mom said camly

"Fine!"I said gettin tight,stomping to my room

My name is Richard Negron. I am 16 years old. I am a high school dropout but my mom doesnt know yet. I've been trying to tell her but i've been chickening out. If she found out that i quit school she will beat me and my mom isnt that type of person. She also doesnt know that i've been buying drugs off of this big time drug dealing company called Opex and selling them. I am definitley not telling her about that. If she would ever find out about that i would die.

The deal that i made with Opex is that they would send me a whole box of drugs and after i sell them i give them fifty percent of my earnings. The box is gonna be sent to my friends house because his parents are druggies and they will think the drugs are for them. I will sell them to all the kids in my neighborhood that do nothing but smoke. They sit in there own hallway and smoke like three L's one after the other.

The day after i had the argument with my mom,the package got to my friend Christians house. I went over and got the package.The package was about up to my knee. Thats how big it was.

"thanks for holdin the stuff for me chris"i thanked christian.

"no problem". I went home with the box while my mother and father were at work. I put it in my closet because my mom and dad would never go in there.Im guessing that i would be done with the package tomorrow depending on how many people i find today.When i am done selling the drugs i have to pay Opex back.

"Is this the real stuff?"The druggy asked.

"Of course it is."i answered back.

"ok good"

"That was my first customer".i thought to myself.

After that customer i started to sell more and more drugs.My plan was working.I would be done with the whole box by tomorrow,if not today.

I finally was on my last customer,a tall stocky guy that stood there with no emotions what so ever.As i handed him the drugs a bunch of guys came from behind cars.One of them punched me right in the jaw and i fell to the ground. They all started to kick and punch me.Then one of them reached into my pocket and pulled out all the money i earned from the drugs and started to run.I couldnt even get up so i juss layed there.

When i got home i walked up to my room ignoring anything my mom and dad said.All of a sudden my phone starts to ring.The screen says private caller.When i pick up the phone before i can say anything a deep voice on the other end says,

"Do you have my money?"

"umm not at this moment because something happ-"

"you better have my money by tomorrow or im coming after you."he hangs up the phone.

As i pace around my room thinking about a way to recover the money,i am freaking out.Then i decide to take a little nap.When I woke up it was alredy the morning.

"omg."

When i got out of bed i started to think,"what if they come looking for me?"

I had to make a move.I started to pack my clothes in a medium sized bookbag that can only hold a weeks length of clothes,my kicks, and my tooth brush.I started to walk down the stairs,then i noticed that my parents were still sleeping,i was relieved that i didnt have to make up some type of story. I kissed my mom and dad softly on the cheek and walked out of the door.I tried to figure out a fast way to the airport.I decided to take a cab so i stuck my hand up in the air and the cab stopped.The cab was half way there when i started to get nervous again.Anxiousness and nervousness took full control over me when the cab took the wrong turn and stopped were nobody was.

"What are you doing,i need to get to the airport?"i asked firmly

"I heard you owed my boss some money." he said as he pulled out a silenced pistol and put it to my head.

"Please dont hurt me."i begged.

"Do you have the money?"he asked.I stood silent and thats when i heard the gun go off and i feel to the ground and watched my eyes close as my own blood flooded around me.
