The next morning

"James wake up or your going to be late for school and your breakfast will get cold" Rebecca yelled from down stairs "all right mom im up im up" yelled back a groggy James's he got out of bed and saw he was he only one in the room hum Lita must be down stairs cooking then well better get breakfast an a shower be for school. Well im going to hit the shower first and then get breakfast

down stairs

We meet Lita, James's girl friend, they been together for 5 years now. She stands 5,7 like James and she ways 119lbs and she has brown long hair that when down can go to her back, but she keeps into a mid high pony tail that still go to her shoulders. She normally wears green colored cloths with dark blue jeans. She also wears green and black checkered sneakers and has exotic green eyes. Now we see James walking down the stair's he had on black boots dark blue jeans that are a little baggy and a red shirt with grey time around the neck and the bottom of the sleeves he walks over to Lita and gives her a kiss on her cheek "hey baby where's my mom at "

Lita points her thumb out the window "she out there working on the Monte and what happen last night your mom told me you were late that's not normal for u". Lita asked it's a long story baby ill tell over breakfast" James said as he looks out the window an dose see his mom under the hood of the Monte working on it.

He made his way to the table with Lita "now talk James" "well Lita to put simply the Monte was acting up lat night when I left here it was fine but when I got between egg harbor city an Galloway the Monte started to act up like it was dieing and started to stutter rely badly when I hit 4000 its started to stutter but when I got her to 4500 it went back to normal" ad it did it again at ROUTE 73 BERLIN and on I 95 it just keep doing it all last night.

So I told mom she must be trying to figher out what it is that causing the problem. "I see James well that is weird and lets hurry up or we will be late for school" Lita said as she looked at the clock "shit come on Lita" James ran and grab his back pack an car keys u see James has a old jeep is grandma gave a few months back when he got his license 2 months ago its just a plane 2 wheel drive automatic inline 6 it's the 2 door model and its color is white James ran out the door yells "bye mom" "bye miss Ireland" Lita yelled as they ran to the jeep James an Lita hops in and fires it up puts in gear and they take off for school. 10 mins later we see the jeep pulling in the egg harbor township high schools parking lot James pull the jeep in the parking lot and turned it off and turns to Lita. "Lita do u have karate class to day". "yeah James I have to stay after school can u come and get me at 3:30 u now I will love." Lita kiss James on the lips "come on love we got school. James had one though on his mind after the kiss "dam it I hate school badly"

Later at lunch

"I'm telling man, this mustang might be the one. Or maybe this dodge shadow , looks a little beat up but still in good shape. Hold on, how about this Honda ? Yo James , what do you think? James? Hey, James Ireland! Are you listening to me?"

James looked over from his seat at the lunch table to his friend, Brandon Somers who since this morning, had increased his boredom to beyond bearing.

"Yes, I'm listening" he answered irritably, "In fact, I've been listening to you rant on and on about buying a car ever since school started."

"Well, geez," returned Brandon, "Sorry to bore you to death over there. But seriously, what car do you think I should could get?"

"How should I know?" James shrugged, "That's for you to decide."

"But they're so many good choices! I don't know which one to choose."

"Brandon, you've been looking at that Auto Trader catalogue ever since this morning. Why don't you give it a break?"

"Huh? Come on, man! Both of us just got our licenses 2 mouths ago. We should both be saving our money so we can get our rides and u a better ride then that dam jeep u and Lita drive around. See here James, this 98 Chevy camaro z28 is only for $2,500. Its way better then your junky jeep.

At this point James is starting to get mad "Brandon shut your mouth while your at it my jeep gets me and Lita to point a to b and it was a gift from my grand mom." And here a question how much have you saved so far for a car?" James said still a little mad

At this point, Brandon put down the catalogue and placed his face in his palms, fuming as reality hit him.

"Only $450," he answered, "Grr! There's gotta be a way to make some quick money! Just sitting on the sidelines while everyone else is racing around with their tuned up cars is pissing me off every single day!"

Well that's u man im okay with my jeep is okay for now beside im helping Lita finishing putting her car to getter that I bought her for are 4 year annaversy." "yeah what kind of car it is a jeep likes your" said Brandon laughing. "no an a Buick regal." Before Brandon could answer him, the school bell rang. He quickly put the Auto Trader catalogue and pulled out his Math books.

"We'll talk about it later," he said, "Right now, we got an Math test."

"Yeah," agreed James, as he pulled out his own books. But he had one though on his mind "dam it I hate math"

2:35 PM

Later that day after school, the two juniors were walking Back to James jeep Lita had karate practice to day so Brandon and James are hanging out to day. Then Brandon began another conversation.

"Hey, James," he said, stopping them both in their tracks, "I got an idea. Why don't you and I combine our savings and buy a car together?"

"Huh? Why the hell would I want to do that for?"

"Come on, man! You make almost twice as much I do working at your family store which is so unfair. You work inside an nice, air-conditioned place staking auto parts and stuff while I'm out in the hot sun sweating my ass off at a fishing lake moving big equipment around."

James grinned for most of his life he work with his mom at there auto parts store . Compared to Brandon's payment of $8.50 an hour working at birch grove, he made $13.00 an hour just for shelving auto parts.

"Yeah, you have a point there," he said, "But still, it's my money. So, no go."

"Fine," Brandon pouted, "be that way."

"Why are you so desperate to get a car anyway?" he asked as they continued on their way.

"Huh? Where have you been? I want a car so I can become a racer!"

"Why don't you use that car your mom was having you drive when you had your permit?"

"The geo? No way! It's so small it's a piece of crap! Plus it's automatic, and it wouldn't last ten seconds street racing world , not to mention that everyone would be laughing at the sight of me driving that car."

"Well," James shrugged, "As long as it has four wheels and goes, I don't see what the big deal is. I mean, do you have to have a car just to become a racer?" being a racer is every thing u got the fame the ladies will love u and u get sponsor and stuff brand said as they hoped in the jeep "Oh, I see," was all that James said.

"So, you'll help me buy a car then?" Brandon begged.

"Ha, ha. Not in your life, pal," he said as he stared the jeep up took off.
