Into The Sun

Chapter 2: Time For A Change

I know Principle Franklin's right when he says I have to make a choice. But what choice do I make? I mean, I know I should take the obvious one to do better in school and get a good education but it's not as easy as you may think.

My whole life has been circled around failure and poor living. My mom never finished school, she's a drug user, and we live in downtown Seattle in the worst neighborhoods imaginable. Everyone that I live around are failures at life so it's only natural that I become one too, right? I know you hear stories of celebrities that go from rags to riches but come on what are the chances of that happening to me?

It's funny how you go to school and you can tell whose going to have a good job and decent living and who isn't. For example the nerds. They may be teased and taunted but in the end they come out on top because they have the smarts that high paying jobs want. They go off and become technicians of some kind or another. You have the troublemaker stoner kids that end up living life like they are now, getting high all the time and working at a fast food joint. You have the preps and jocks that either go out and become some sort of teacher or accountant. They have the teachers at the schools on their side because they're popular and rule things.

Life is so confusing I swear. But after rambling I still have that choice to make. If I did try at school what are the chances of me failing, about 99.9%. But that .1% could end up with me having a good job and stuff like that. If I don't take that .1% chance though I'll never know for sure what could've happened if I did. Well I guess that settles that little fiasco.

"Sam!" Uh oh, mother out of drugs alert! Crisis at maximum level! I repeat crisis at maximum level!

"Yeah!?" I swear that woman is going to get me shot someday.

"Run down to the corner and meet up with Todd! You know what to get!" God she's a fat ass lazy mother fucker.

"I'm busy right now!" I swear I think World War 3 is about to erupt.

"Get your fucking ass out there now!" God mother I swear I'm going to kill you in your sleep.

"And If I don't!?" Oh yeah soldiers get ready for a massive assault.

"I'll bust a cap in your ass now go!" Ugh, I hate being me.

The sun is just about to set as I step out of the house. Nothing shadier then a drug meet up at a corner when darkness is approaching. I wonder if mom is trying to get me killed. If that be the case she needs to get a life cause no drug dealer can kill Sam Puckett! The greatest fighter and bad ass this neighborhood has ever seen! You might think I'm a bit cocky but hey if you were in my shoes you would be too.

This Todd is a real shady character. He looks like he can't be trusted but then again what drug dealer can be?

"Sam, your mother to lazy to come out and get some?" Oh how right he is.

"Yeah, yeah give me the usual." He's lucky I don't care about my mom otherwise I would've kicked his ass for that insult.

He tosses a small bag at me and I frown.

"This is less then usual. Give me my money back." A small smile erupts from his lips.

"Sorry beautiful but we're short today, unless your willing to something else for more." First of all no one and I mean no one talks to me like that!

"Fuck no you gross ass mother fucker, either you give me what I want or you ain't getting anymore business around here and I'll make sure of that." His smile quickly disappears.

"Sorry Puckett no deal. Looks like your mother will have to find other business else where." He's a fucking idiot.

"Alright then, looks your going to have to find another neighborhood to sell to, after ripping me off who is going to want to buy from you? They'll think their being ripped off every time you sell to them. Keep your fucking nose candy, I don't want it." I toss the small back at him and walk away. Now I know I definitely don't want to be a loser at life like he is.

I hear the familiar sound a gun cocking and stop walking instantly. This isn't the first time I've faced the barrel of a gun and I know that last thing you want to do is ignore the guy holding that gun.

"Turn around Puckett." I take a deep calming breath and turn around.

"That's better, I want to see the fear in your fucking eyes as I kill you." Please their is no fear in me.

"Then do it, you'll be thrown in jail by tomorrow morning since the police feed off of crimes in this area." He knows I'm right I can see it in his eyes.

"That's not going to stop me."

He walks closer and closer to me and I quickly take action. I knock his arm holding the gun up in the air and quickly punch him in the stomach. Once he doubles over in pain I snatch the gun and point it at him.

"Boy you are the stupidest mother fucker I've ever met. Don't you listen to the rumors, I'm Sam Puckett the baddest mother fucker around! I don't take shit from no one and you just crossed the line!"

He looks up with fear in his eyes. I'm tempted to just shoot him dead.

"Tell you what I'm going to do, I'm going to give you two choices. First choice, me escorting you to the police station. Second choice, me shooting you in some deserted place and leave you dead. What's it going to be?"

He spits at me and I wipe the spit off my face.

"You're nothing but a rat!" He shouts but instantly regrets it when my boot connects with his face.

"You're the rat you piece of shit. Get on your feet." He scrambles up and holds his hands up in the air.

"Stand next to the telephone pole." He slowly backs up to the pole. I grab an old jump rope lying on the ground and walk up to him with the gun still pointed at him.

"Face up against the pole and hands behind your back." I tie him up nice and tight so he can't escape from the pole.

"If I'm not mistaken there's a warrant out for your arrest correct?" I take his silence as a yes. I walk up to the pay phone and call 911 and tell them where he's at.

"Now, now, Todd. The police are coming to get you so don't fret. Of course once they get you you're going to be sentenced to lethal injection for murdering a cop and a few other people. So now I'm going to leave. I hope you die slowly and painfully." His fear is evident and I smile at this.

"Oh so you don't call anyone out here for help," I grab a bungee cord that was lying on dirty ground and stick it in his mouth before wrapping it around his head nice and tight.

I slap his face lightly, "See ya around." With that I head back home before the police can arrive.

I swear I should become a secret agent or something. I'm sneaky like one. Oh well I wonder what Carly's up to. Probably studying since exams are coming up. Since I need to improve in school maybe she'll quiz me on some stuff or something. Without a second though I pull out my phone and call her.

"Hey Sam." Comes her greet.

"Hey Carls, can I come over?" I know she'll say yes.

"Yeah, mom bugging you again." I have to grin she reads my mind I swear.

"Somewhat, I'll be there in a little bit." With that I hang up and start jogging towards the bus stop.


At Carly's Apartment

I hate buses they take forever and they always smell funny. But at lest they don't look as funny as Rupert's mole thing. That thing tops the list of the freakiest things ever. Anyway I hope Freddie isn't over, I hate that kid so much. Why Carly even lets him over is beyond me. That kid just about stalks her! And what's worse is the he lives right across the hall from her! Now that would creep me out for sure!

I knock on the hall door before stepping into Carly's apartment. The first thing I see are books scattered everywhere. If I was a stranger I would say she is a total book worm.

"Carls?" I call out. No answer.

"I'll be down in a second!." I finally hear. What the hell is she doing? Oh well time to raid the fridge.

I make my way over to the fridge and grab the package of ham that has 'Sam's Ham' written on it in permanent marker in Carly's handwriting. I smile at that. She's a thinker alright.

"Hey Sam, found the ham I see." She's in her pj's and looks yummy herself. I'd drop my ham for her any day.

"Yeah, I like how it says my ham, thoughtful." I smile at her while holding the ham. She rolls her eyes with a child like smile gracing her lips.

"Your welcome." She knows that's the only thing that will come even remotely close to a thanks out of me.

Just as I'm about to talk I hear the front door open and frown as Freddie pops in. I look back at Carly and she has this apologetic look on her face.

"Oh hi Sam." I roll my eyes at him and plop down onto the couch and turn the TV on.

I feel Carly's arms snake their way around my neck and hear her whisper into my ear. Only it's hard for me to focus on what she's saying because of her arms around my neck and hot breath on my ear.

"I'm sorry Sam he came over a few minutes before you did and asked to study together." I think the inspiration to do better in school just left me. I don't want to study with Freddie, I hate him so much.

Without a second thought I flip through the channels but have to take a quick breath when I feel her kiss the top of my head. Just a mere second after that I no longer feel her arms around my neck and instantly miss the warmth of her body. I'm falling head over heels in love with her and damn it life is even more complicated.

A/N: Well this chapter is now edited for grammar and things like that, so hopefully it looks better and sounds better! Leave a review!!
