Chapter 1 Secret Slayer!
Chance's P.O.V
'Keep hitting...left...right...left!' Shane ordered me. The punching bag swung in all different directions as I kept hitting it.
'Ok, stop. That will do for today' He says. I sighed and let my hands drop to my sides. I was exhausted, I had been in the gym for four hours. Its been like that for a while now, when college is over I sometimes come to the gym and workout for a bit. Shane finishes at 9 O'clock and I usually get here around 5 O'clock.
'I'm going to go get my stuff. You coming round tonight?' He asked me.
I nodded my head 'Yes I am, I'll wait near the doors'.
Shane smiled and then walked over to the door near the machines, he typed in the code and walked inside the room. I grabbed my coat and walked out into the entrance to wait for Shane. I wasn't waiting long before Shane came out.
'Chance, were going to the shop on our way home.' Shane told me.
'What for?' I asked him.
'Beers' He answered with a smile.
I smiled 'Nice'
'Dont think you're having any' He says.
'Come on Shane' I said.
'Dont think so, don't you have college tomorrow?' He asked me.
'Dont you have work tomorrow?' I asked him.
He stared at me 'Alright, you can have some. But not a lot'.
'How about I have more if I beat yours and Michael's ass on the Xbox tonight?' I asked him.
He laughed 'Dont think that's going to happen'
'I think it is' I said.
Shane shook his head 'You might beat Michael, but not me'
I laughed 'I'll beat both of you'
'You sure you want a beer? You seem pretty drunk now' He joked.
'I'm sure' I say. It fell silent after that and I felt the urge to speak again.
'Shane your like a brother to me' I told him.
He looked at me and smiled 'Your like my little annoying bro as well'
I laughed 'Thanks'
'No problem' He smiled.
Me and Shane both walked into the small corner shop and made our way to the beer aisle. Shane scanned through the section until he finally found what he was looking for, he smiled and picked up the pack of beers and began to walk to the counter. The man behind the counter smiled at us both and scanned the pack of beers. Before he asked for the money Shane gave it to him.
'Thank you' The man said, he then typed some buttons in on the till and put the money inside and then took out a few pound coins and gave them to Shane.
'Thanks for coming' He says.
'See you' Me and Shane both said as we walked out the shop.
'So I wont be at college this week to come' I told him.
'Why's that?' He asked me.
I shrugged 'Summer break or something. I don't know I wasnt really listen'
'You should listen' Shane says.
I scoffed 'Because you listened in school'
'I learnt from my mistake' He says.
'Oh sure, I guess I'll learn to' I said.
'Chance you need to do good. Wasnt you talking about wanting your own place the other night?' He asked me.
'Well I mentioned it but I didn't mean now' I said.
'But someday you want it right?' He asked me.
'Yes, but that doesn't mean'
'That means that you need money for it and to get money, you will need a job. But people just don't hire you' He told me.
'I know' I sighed.
'Anyway your only 17, still need to finish collage' He said.
I smiled 'I cant wait to finish it'
He smiled and then punched me in the arm and I looked at him 'Enough of that ok? How about first one to the Glass house actually has a beer?'
Before I could say anything Shane took of running.
'Hey!' I yelled and then ran after him. Even though Shane was holding a pack of beers in his hand he could still run fast and I knew he was going to be at the Glass house before me.
Shane had already reached the Glass house before me. In fact when I walked inside the Glass house Shane was in the kitchen with Michael, Eve and Claire.
Eve turned and smiled at me 'Shane told me you was going to beat him and Michael on the game'
I nodded 'Yes I am'
Michael patted me on the back 'Dont think that will happen bro'
'Trust me' I said as I walked over to Shane. He passed me a can of beer and I thanked him.
'You wouldnt be able to win us both' Shane said.
'You wouldnt win any of us at all' Michael smiled.
'I think I could' I say.
'You wouldnt even be able to win Eve' Michael joked.
I laughed 'Your probably right'.
All of a sudden a cloth hit Michael in his face and he grabbed hold of it and looked at Eve.
'I am good at video games thank you' Eve says.
Michael laughed at her and through the cloth at Eve 'Thinking positive is always the best way'
She raised an eyebrow at him 'We will see about that tonight then'. She then walked inside the living room. Michael watched her leave the room and then turned back to face us.
'Michael, I think you may get lucky tonight' Shane laughed.
Claire punched him in the arm 'You always think things in a dirty way'
Shane smiled at her 'What can I say?'
She shook her head and smiled and then looked at me 'Are you hungry?'
'No I'm fine' I said.
She nodded 'Ok, I'm going in the living room then'. Claire then kissed Shane on the cheek and walked out the kitchen.
Ever since I first came to this house with Shane everyone has been so kind to me. I wasnt in the best state ever when I met them all, but they helped me through a lot. I've been with these for years now. I hadn't had the best life and my past isn't great but if Shane didn't help me and take care of me like he has done, I'd probably been in care. Me, Shane and Michael all walked into the living room.
'Right lets see if you can really beat us on this game then' Michael says as he sat down on the couch.
I smiled 'I will'
'How about we start the game first?' Shane suggested.
'Fine, be prepared' I said. Eve and Claire both laughed and then looked down at the magazine the were both reading. Shane had put the game on and me, Michael and him all glued to the screen as the game began. I smiled to myself, another day at the Glass house.
