Just guess what happens next. You'll never get it. I can guarantee it.

Chapter Ten

End of High School Days

'Working on a Sunday, this should be illegal.' he thought to himself. It was three o' clock and he started at seven. He didn't have anything else really left to do. Truly he was doing nothing and pretended to do something for fear of Teresa tearing him a new one. But during his work he couldn't stop thinking about his terrible and haunting nightmares that have been shadowing him lately. He couldn't shake them off. He didn't feel at all depressed or angry or different emotions from what he could tell. He blamed it on growing up but knew it must have been something deeper. 'But what could it be..' his thoughts were interrupted by a poke on his shoulder. He looked behind him and a kit who was crying and wiping tears from his face was standing behind him.

"Hey, what's up?"

"I can't find my mommy! Can you help me find her? Please! I want my mom!"

He shushed the kid "It's all right little man. We'll find her. Just follow me all right?" the kid nodded and offered his hand. "Do you want me to hold your hand?" he nodded again "All right come on." he grabbed his hand and went to Teresa's office. She was sitting in her desk doing work on the computer.

"Fox! What are you doing? Why do you have a child with you?"

"He lost his mother so I came back here to see if we could call her name through the loud speaker and they could meet up."

"Oh," she looked at the kid who was hiding behind Fox's legs still holding on to his hand. "Well what's her name?"

He kept silent. "You got to tell us her name or we can't find her."

"Her name is Lily."

Teresa typed in a number then held the phone up to her face "Lily please come in the back we have your child. Lily please come in the back we have your child." she hung up the phone then looked at Fox "Go back to work I'll watch out for him."

"All right." He looked at the kit "Take it easy bro."

"My name is Josh."

"Oh, take it easy Josh." he left and went back to what he was doing.

"So he just came up to you and didn't know where his mom was?"

"Yeah, I didn't really know what to do so I brought him to Teresa. I saw him later and he was with his mom happy as could be. She actually came up to me and thanked me."

"Aww! That's so sweet!"

"I guess so," He kept stocking the shelves as she continued talking. He didn't mind just listening to her talk.

"So apparently Saturday I had to do some house work plus for some reason my grades aren't where my parents want them."

"Well what are your grades? Fails?"

"No I'm passing with an A average."

"You're kidding me." She shook her head "My dad would be fine if my grades were passing and your parents are angry because you have 'A's?"

"Yeah, great people huh? Whatever I got my stuff done and it appeased them. Can't wait to leave."

"Really? Is it that bad?"

"No it's really not but sometimes it just gets to a person. You know?" She said

"I guess."

"So what's this I hear about a homecoming party?"

"Oh Bill's get together?" He asked

"Yeah, the loud one right?"

"Well there are two loud ones. Falco and Bill. Falco is the louder of the two but he isn't hosting a party so I'm going to assume you're talking about Bill."

"Yeah that's the one."

"Well apparently him and his brother have this scheme. By the way don't tell him I told you this."

"My lips are sealed." She said pretending to zip her lips

"Well his brother came up with this plan to sell answers to kids but he isn't in school anymore so Bill has to do it and they plan on hosting a huge party with all the money they are collecting from these kids."

"Well sounds like fun. I'm going to assume there is going to alcohol and drugs and sex."

"There is a possibility of all of those I guess."

"Well are you going?"

"I guess. I'm not sure actually."

"Do you have anyone to go with?"

"Just friends."

"Well you want to go with me?"

He looked at her a little confused "What?"

She repeated "Do you want to go with me?"

"Sure."

"Cool well when is it?"

"The day before homecoming."

"Sweet. It should be fun!"

"Yeah, I guess so."

"All right well I should get back to the cash register before Terror-esa finds me not there."

"Terror-esa?"

"Yeah, I just thought of it why does it sound stupid?"

"Nah, it was kinda funny."

"Phew, thanks. Well see ya." she said waving good-bye and heading back to where she was supposed to be.

"Later."
