Troy sighed and laid down, though he knew he couldn't go back to sleep. For the past week he was having the same dream. Why was

the only question. Was it maybe because he had sinned so badly, and just tried to forget it ever happened. He sighed again and covered

his face with his pillow. It was something so horrible not even Chad knew it.

It all started….

It was the first day of 7th grade and Troy sat alone in the cafeteria.

Chad, his only best friend, would not be with him this year, because his dad had gone away to Texas for the year. Why, nobody

knew, not even Chad himself.

Troy laid his head heavily in his hand and yawned.

Suddenly four guys walked up to him. "Yo, kid, move…" one of them said.

Troy turned around and saw them. Tall and strong, "What do you guys want?"

"Meet us at the park at 4.…" the same guy said and just like that, they were gone.

Troy though it was all rather strange, but still, he was curious, so at 4 he went.

Troy sighed and sat up, grabbing his phone, opening it, and found a picture of Gabriella on the first night they had met. The picture

brought a smile to his face, but the memory did not…

Troy wandered the park in search of the guys. He was starting to think they had set him up.

"Yo kid, over here!" The same guy who talked to him earlier said.

Troy turned and walked to them, "What do you guys want?" he gulped.

One grinned, the other chuckled. The third seemed more laid back, more quiet.

Still, the same one spoke, "We want you in our little….group…"

"Group? Don't you mean gang?" Troy corrected. He wasn't stupid, not at all.

"Oh, so your smart…Yes, I mean gang…I think you'd be great for us…" he said.

Troy nodded and shrugged, "Whatever he said. Maybe he wasn't so smart.

All the guys grinned now.

The same one handed Troy a baggie of weed and a syringe, pulled one out for himself, and one out for the rest of the guys,

"Welcome to the gang." The guy said and took a long puff off of the weed.

Troy smiled. He was happy that was really going to fit in this year, without Chad. He too, took a long puff of the weed.

Troy closed his eyes and buried his face into his pillow. All he wanted was the memories to go away, but still they came…

Troy came home about an hour and a half later and stumbled up the stairs, and fell onto his bed.

His father knocked on the door, "Are you alright?" He asked.

Troy coughed, "Yeah, fine, not feeling well, going to go to bed…" He lied.

"Alright.." His dad said and walked off.

Troy sighed heavily, hoping his dad couldn't tell how high, or wasted, he was. He couldn't tell up from down, running from

walking, or red from blue. He felt great.

Troy didn't realize he even fell asleep, not until his mother knocked lightly on the door, "Troy, honey, are you alright?"

Troy groaned, sat up and blinked from the morning sun, "What?" he mumbled.

"It's ten…" She said softly.

"Rough night, couldn't sleep, I'll be down in a sec.." he said.

She nodded and left.

He pulled himself out of bed, got dressed, and went into his bathroom. He looked at himself in the mirror and wondered why he had ever

done that stuff. He sighed and walked downstairs to eat, not knowing this day was going to bring surprises.
