Prichael life

Chapter 8

Few weeks later, in Eddie's house, in Eddie's room, Michael enter the room tiredly and exhausted. Eddie shout

Eddie - You are late again (angrily 😡)

Michael - Not now Edward,.... I'm really tired from working. Today it was too much to handle the store all alone and I don't want you screaming at me for being five minutes late.

Eddie - I already told you I need to go out and prepare for the upcoming match next week

Michael - I'm also not free Eddie. I covered up for three of my co workers for past few days and I have to go back again for my shift tonight after finishing with your tuition. Shall we start already?

Eddie - Ok

For few minutes everything was going fine. Eddie say

Eddie - I will get us something to eat and drink

Michael - I don't want anything

Eddie - Come on babe you got to have something if you need energy to work tonight's shift

Michael - Looks like your parents are not around in the house

Eddie - They went to out to run some errands and took my siblings to the dentist as they were complaining about toothpain

Michael - My mom even took Randy and Janet to the dentist this afternoon

Eddie - I will be back in few

Michael check out Eddie's solved problems and sigh heavily as most of them were wrong. Eddie sits beside Michael after keeping a tray of grapes juices and PBJ sandwiches. Eddie say

Eddie - Looks like I messed up a lot

Michael - No (shakes his head) just little bit that's all and you did the same mistake again

Eddie - You eat some sandwiches until I try to fix the problems

While having the sandwiches, Michael see Eddie trying to solve the problems again and again. Michael say

Michael - First add them then divide then multiple the answer

Eddie - Ok.... Michael can I ask you something? (seeing Michael)

Michael - What? (seeing Eddie)

Eddie - Are you coming for the trip to Japan next month? (curiously)

Michael shakes his head and say

Michael - My dad can't afford both my and Marlon's school trip at the same time so I won't be able to come with you all

Eddie - Then I will also not go for the trip

Michael - No Ed, you always wanted to go to Japan so don't miss out on it. I will be happy if you go and have fun there

Eddie - Without you what fun will I have?

Michael - You will have Chris with you so you won't miss me that much

Eddie - Do you want me to talk to my parents?

Michael - No (firmly) I will catch up with all my pending works so I will be busy all the time. Now finish that maths work

An hour later, Eddie ask

Eddie - Mikey can I ask you for something?

Michael - What? (seeing Eddie)

Eddie - Can you please give me some money?

Michael - What happened to the money I gave you the other day? (suspiciously 🤨)

Eddie - You earn enough money for a month so can't you give me some?.... The money you gave me few days ago got spent

Michael - Eddie that's my salary which I have use it for my daily expenses so don't take that money for granted and remember that I earn because my family needs it too. (a bit sternly) How much do you want?

Eddie - 300

Michael see Eddie in disbelief, shocked 😲 and ask

Michael - Why do you need that much?

Eddie - To buy stuffs.... You know I can't ask my parents for money as mom's been laid off from her part time jobs

Michael sighs heavily and say

Michael - Ok, I understand your situation (gives some money) I will meet you at school on Monday morning

Eddie - Sure babe

While Michael was going back to the dollar store, he kept thinking about Eddie's acting for past few days. Eddie has been asking money from him but won't return it back. He did not mind that Eddie did not return the money but he was a bit scared that Eddie should not use that money for wrong things. Michael enter the store and got to his work. At the gym class, the basketball team were practicing for the upcoming matches. Mr. Jonas say

Mr. Jonas - David pass the ball and let them score

David passes the basketball 🏀 to Eddie and he scores it. Eddie and David high-five each other in happiness 😄😁 and Mr. Jonas say

Mr. Jonas - Good job boys, you're doing well day by day. Keep this up and we will surely win the next match (checking his watch ⌚) OK boys time to go home now, let us meet at Monday after school. Prince can you stay a little longer, I need to talk to you about something related to the match

Prince just nodes his head and stayed back for a while after getting changed his clothes. After talking to Mr. Jonas, Prince was leaving the school when he heard a known voices. He ignored the voices and went out of the school. While walking back home, Prince see Michael arranging stocks in the dollar store. Prince sighs heavily and went back home and see his dad watching TV. Prince dad ask

John - Did you get it?

Prince - Get what? (confused 😕)

John - Are you fucking kidding me right now? (seeing Prince seriously)

Prince - Did I forget to buy something?

John - I freaking told you to buy eggs for dinner

Prince - You go and buy it yourself, I'm tired and exhausted from today's special practice

John - I don't damn care if you are tired and exhausted, go and get the eggs, milk, beer cans, cheese and boxes of cereals (demanding tone)

Prince - Get it yourself old man

John - Prince Rogers Nelson you better do as I just told you or else....

Prince - Or else.... Or else what? (annoyed and irritated tone)

John - You can't see your mother and younger sister until you move out of my house

Prince - Fine I will get it (fed up tone)

John - You better get everything properly this time (strictly)

Prince went out of the house and went to the dollar store in annoyance because one he hated his dad a lot right now and he wished he shouldn't aee Michael in the store.
