I walked down the ever stretching road that lead into the towering, ancient, mustard colored, building, I already knew my fate. I had done this before, exactly 15 exhausting times. I could feel even the animals looking down at me. I sniffed the stiff air looking for the sweet smell of the bakery near by but not even it would give me any mercy. I lifted my head up and marched forward to the old rickety building thinking “ it's now or never”. I opened the wooden thick door, as it creaked to a closing I sat down into my all to familiar seat. I look from each woman's aging face, first to the mayor´s helper, who has long, curly, ebony hair, coffee like skin, with deep, dark chocolate like eyes. Then I scanned the rest of the gossiping women. One was fair haired, light skinned, with dotted freckles on her punctuated cheekbones, with misty blue eyes. Then my eyes crossed my mom's path, she was a tall skinny oranged haired young women with emerald green eyes and tanned skin like she been working in a flower bed all her life, her eyes screwed on to me ever since I walk into this dismal room. I could feel them burning into my soul with a deep dread, which made her rare wrinkles show deeply. It always use to hurt my mom to watch me get in trouble but now she seems numb to it. The major walked in and said in disgust, ¨What is it now kid?¨
I snarkily responded, not really caring because I already knew the outcome.
“ I threw a pebble at Suzy”
"Hm, well, it says here it wasn't no pebble¨
As she continued with her babbling I couldn't help think of where my dad in all of this usually he is here with my mom scowling at me in disappointment.
¨hello!? Are you even listening to me?¨ She yelled as I snapped back into reality
¨yes ma'am!¨
¨I said who is the girl you threw the pebble at?¨
¨Suzy Westberg? May I go start my punishment now ma'am?¨
"You're not going to be picking up trash Aiden"
"What am I going to be doing then?¨ I said in surprise, it must of been written all over my face because the next thing she said she said it with an enjoyable smirk.
"Ok Adien you are going to do what she says for the next month, ok?"
"WHAT!?!"
"Now go on before I add community service time"
I quickly raced out of that unforgiving building towards the hot, humid road. The last thing I needed was taking commands from "Sargent" Suzy and community time. I met up with my best pal Clinton in front of the old candy shop, like always.
He has sandy, coiled short hair, ocean blue eyes,bronzed skin, thin but built, with spotted freckles scattered against his plushy cheeks. He came from California about five years ago, he says he surfed a lot there. He also gets all the girls.
"Hey Clinton guess what?"
"What trouble maker?" He calls me trouble maker because I'm basically trouble.
"You know when I threw that pebble at suzy?"
"Yeah ahahah hit her straight in the head, nice aim by the way.¨
¨She told Ms. Rese and I now have to do what she says!"
"AHAHAH, Solder Aiden reporting for duty!" He salutes me and starts marching around me like a soldier I swear I would've hit him if he wasn’t my best friend and my only friend.
"uhg, this day keeps getting worse and worse"
"Next time if you like a girl just tell her"
"Uhg, I don't like her Clinton she's too much of a goody two shoes!"
