Riley looked down at the piece of paper in front of him, frowning deeply. The lined piece of paper was worn and had several spots wher a drink had been dripped on it and part of the corner had been torn off. On the piece of paper were words written in childish scribbles and had a score on the top left hand corner.
It was an A.
Riley looked dumbfounded. It was his only A and he was determined to keep it at that. Young Reezy does not get A's. The last time Riley got an A was when he was five and it was in Art class. That's the only place Riley got A's in. Art was Riley's favorite subject, but this grade in front of him was not from Art Class. It was an English assignment. And a stupid one at that.
Riley's class were assigned this assignment a couple weeks ago.
Flashback
Riley sat in the back of his third grade English class as he stared absentmindly out of the window next to him.
'Man! Wat a great day! Why am I in 'ere?!' Riley thought to himself. Figures the sunniest day ever to hit Woodcrest, and he's in English class. His teacher's voice brough Riley out of hsi thoughts.
"Now you'll have a week to write this paper," came the voice of Riley's teacher, Mr. Petto.
"Wat assignment?" Riley asked outloud, not meaning anyone to hear him.
But luck wasn't with him. Hlaf the class burst out laughing as Riley asked that and Mr. Petto got an irritated look on his face. Luckily, he was a very patient man despite having to deal with the youngest Freeman since he moved here.
"The assignment is a writing one-" Mr. Petto paused briefly as he saw a downcast look fall upon the face of his most troublesome student, "One that has only one topic."
He stopped believing he didn't have to say anymore. Riley hadn't done hardly any work since he transferred into his class but was surprised to see the young ganster nodding slowly. He was listening!
"The topic is "Who I Look up to?"" Mr. Petto finsihed, noticing a confused look on the younger Freeman's face.
"How the hell am i supposed to know who ya look up to, nigga?!" Riley asked exasperated.
Mr. Petto flinched inwardly at the word. That one word had nearly cost him his career, and the brat still used it frequently! The teacher sighed.
"No Riley, not me. Who you look up to."
To hsi surprise, Mr. petto saw an excited look come upon the eight-year old's face.
"Really?! Can it be by anyone?" asked the young Freeman.
"Why..I...um.. yes, of course."
"Wat about writin' about my top homie Thugnificent?" asked the aspiring rapper.
"If that's who you look up to, then yes."
"Sweet! This is gonna be awesome!" riley shouted enthusiastically. Another reason to hang out with the gansta rapper.
But Mr. Petto took his enthusiasm another way. He just got the Riley Freeman interested in school. Oh the miracle has been done! He couldn't wait to get to the teacher's lounge! He'd be a hero!
End of Flashback
Riley sighed to himself. He never, ever imagined himself not writing about Thugnificent when he had got paper. But so much had changed within the last two weeks, he couldn't have bared to write about who used to be his idol. he just couldn't.
Riley would never even think to look at that bastard again. Not after what had happen.
Never again.
AN: Okay, heres the first chapter. The next chapters are gonna be about what happened those two weeks. What changed Riley's mind so drastically? And who did he write about? Stay tuned for next time!
