Into The Sun
Chapter 1: Choices
Isn't it funny how some people in life are incredibly lucky and others aren't? One person might have a family that loves them while across town another person has no family at all. Life's full of mysteries but what if you want to solve one mystery? Can you? Or will you find nothing at all and be left with a bigger mystery? I guess I'm just rambling, my name is Sam Puckett and I'm a 17-year-old drug dealer.
Monday
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
Ugh, that stupid alarm clock. It's too early in the morning to get up.
"Sam! Turn that fucking thing off!" I hear from the outside of my door.
"Fuck off Chad!" I shout back and slam my fist down onto the dreaded object.
"Watch yourself little girl!" Oh he did not just call me a little fucking girl!
"Go fuck yourself Chad!" A loud bang erupts from the other side of my door and I can only assume he's punched it.
"Fucking pussy can't even punch through that door." I mumble while getting up and grabbing a pair of baggy and torn blue jeans.
He punched the door once again but this time his fist made it through. Shit. I quickly grab my wallet and boots before heading towards my window. I open it and jump on the fire escape before jumping down to the ground.
"Come back here you little bitch!" I hear him shout from inside the room.
I quickly throw my boots on and attach the chain from my wallet onto my belt loop. When I hear a loud thump above me I look up and see Chad on the fire escape. I grab a rock and whip it up at his head. Direct hit! After listening to his swearing I take off down the road to get to Carly's.
The buildings slowly but surely turn into the nicer looking buildings that you see in movies. I near the bus stop and see a homeless man curled up on the bench. I feel sorry for the guy. He has a shopping cart next him filled with pop bottles and a garbage bag somewhat filled with what I assume to be clothes. I see a gang of kids walking towards him and they look like trouble makers to me.
"Hey look at this old fool here!" I here one of them shout as he kicks over the shopping cart.
Anger runs through my veins as I see this.
"Hey leave him alone!" I shout as I jog over to help the old man.
"Yo man it's Puckett! Let's get outta here!" I can't but grin as they recognize. My reputation runs through these streets.
"You're not going anywhere, pick up the cart and cans now!" I shout while grabbing the punk who knocked it over.
"Hey man I was just messin'." I grit my teeth and throw him to the ground.
"Bullshit! Now pick up the cans before you really piss me off!" He scrambles to pick the cans up and I watch like a hawk.
"Good now get outta here and don't even think about tormenting him again!" I shout as he gets done. He runs off with the other punks and I turn my attention back to the old man.
"You ok?" I ask him. He nods as he stares up at me.
I see gratitude and confusion in his tired eyes and feel pity run through me.
"Here man." I pull a twenty out of my wallet and hand it to him.
"Get something eat or something." He takes it with caution and I smile a sad smile at him.
"Thank you." I hear him mutter shyly.
"No problem. If they mess with you again tell them you'll send Puckett after them and they should leave you alone."
He nods and slowly gets up. I help him up and grab his cart pulling towards him. He must use it as a form of walker since he can barely stand.
"Hey you should go to a homeless shelter, get some food and shelter there." He looks down at his feet and I can tell he's embarrassed about something.
"I can't walk that far." Poor guy.
I look around and find an old rusted car that looks like no one would care if it got stolen. "Hold on a second and I'll take you to one."
I make my way over to the car and check to see if it's unlocked, luckily it is. I pull out my trusty pocket knife and take off the cover for the ignition before using the knife as a key. The car starts up with little problem and I pull up closer to the old man so he doesn't have to walk too far to the car. I get out and open the door for him before helping him into the car.
"I'll put your cart in the back ok?" He nods and I open the trunk that was tied down with a bungee cord.
I have to take the cans out for now and leave them scattered on the floor of the trunk before loading the cart in on its side so the trunk can be closed. With that done and loaded I hop in the drivers seat.
"Is there a certain place you wanted to go? Like one close to here or something?" I ask him.
"One around here is fine." I hear and I put the car in drive before heading towards the nearest shelter.
We pull up to the shelter and I quickly get his cart out before getting him out so he can use it. I quickly get the cart up to him as he tries to get out of the car. I help and give him the cart. I see a few volunteers walk out of the building towards us.
"Hey, he needs help walking." They nod and take over for me and I take that as my cue to leave.
"Hold on." I hear him say and I instantly stop and turn around.
"Thank you very much." He sounds so sincere and honest.
"No problem at all. Take care." With that I take my leave and hop back into the car to take it back where I found it while hoping the old man can be safe at the shelter.
At School
"Hey Sam where were you first period?" I hear Carly ask as I make my way to my locker.
I take a quick glance at her and I'm instantly staring. She's just so stunning and beautiful, even more beautiful than a plate full of ham.
"Overslept." I mumble trying to stop myself from staring and drooling at her.
She laughs and I grin my usual grin.
"You always oversleep." I shrug my shoulders and open my locker to grab my history book.
"Did you get your history homework done?" She asks but she already knows the answer.
"Nope." I close my locker and can't wait for the shouting match to start in second hour between the teacher and I.
"Let's go before we get a tardy." Carly suggests before linking her arm in mine. If she only knew what this simple gesture does to me.
Before we even make it to the classroom we get stopped by Principle Franklin.
"Sam my office." Carly shoots me a look that says, "What did you do now?" But I just smile innocently at her and shrug my shoulders.
"Catch you later." I say to her before following him.
I plop down into the chair in front of his desk and wait for him to sit down.
"What's up Ted." He sighs and I grin.
"I think you know why you're here Sam." The grin never leaves my face and he rubs his temples like he's trying to get rid of a headache.
"Sam, you knocked to boys out and called Mr. Price a fat ass. You know that you'll be suspended two days for fighting and an additional five for swearing at a staff member. Now I don't think you realize how much trouble your in, the school board has been looking for a chance to expel you and now they have it. There's a good chance you'll be expelled." I roll my eyes and lean back into the chair.
"Am I expelled then?" I ask.
"The school board is having a meeting to discuss it, and Sam to tell you the truth I don't know if I should defend you or not. You act like you don't even care so if you're not going to then neither am I." He answers with a grim look on his face.
"When is the hearing?" His face shows hope and I don't know if I'm going to disappoint him or not.
"This Wednesday at six o'clock." I have to think about this one.
"I'll let you know by the end of the day tomorrow if you need to try or not." He shakes his and sighs.
"Your a junior this year Sam, you need to turn things around and soon, otherwise you won't have much of a future besides flipping burgers at McDonald's. Your dismissed." I leave his office with a hard choice to make.
Stay or leave. Carly's going to kill me when she finds out.
I walk down the empty hallway to history class and promptly enter. I take my seat in the back classroom and look over at Carly's seat which is next to me. She writes a note and quickly tosses it on my desk when the teacher's not looking.
'What'd you do?'She wrote.
I quickly look around for a pencil or pen and snatch one from some kid when the teacher wasn't looking.
'Got into a fight and called Mr. Price a fat ass. Principle said there's a chance I might be expelled.' I toss the note to her and watch as she reads it.
Her eyes grow wide and she instantly looks at me with anger in her eyes. She quickly writes a reply.
'Meet me in the bathroom in about five minutes.' Yeah she's totally pissed.
She raises her hand and asks to go to the bathroom. I watch her leave and hope that the five minutes takes forever.
Unfortunately the five minutes fly by and I raise my hand to go to the bathroom he looks at me suspiciously.
"Dude I'm a girl and I have periods now will you let me go?" I blurt out and almost laugh as his face turns red.
"Go ahead." I walk out and head towards the bathroom praying that my good deed from earlier will help me here.
As soon as I enter the bathroom Carly is up and at me.
"Why Sam!? Why do you have to go get into trouble all the time!?" I roll my eyes and walk past her towards the counter top and jump up onto it to sit.
"I don't know, it just happens." She doesn't like that answer at all.
"That's not an answer!" Jesus she's acting like I killed someone.
"Sam you may not care now but when you get older and have to work at some crappy job and live from pay check to pay check you're going to wish you would have done better in school!" Ok now I'm starting to get pissed.
"I'm sorry I don't have what it takes like you do! I'm sorry I'm not smart! I'm sorry I'm the slacker at life!" The anger in her eyes is evident.
She's the only person that would dare challenge me like this but she also knows I would never, ever hurt her.
"You are not a slacker at life, you are smart, so what if you don't want to be determined to get strait A's. You have to understand that I'm just looking out for you. Sam you're the only person I know that can figure out how things work to take what you want. Yes you may be stealing but you're figuring something out that others can't. You're the only girl I know that can kick a guys ass thanks to moves you learned from cartoon shows. You are smart at the things you do. Will you at least actually try at school for two weeks? If you don't like it after that then you can quit." Just like that her anger is gone and a jolt of inspiration runs through me.
I sigh and jump off the table. "Fine." I mumble, I hate it when she wins.
A/N: I've edited this chapter to hopefully spark some creativity in me and make it better. The rest of the chapters will also be edited, as for when I'm not sure. Leave a review please!
