6 years later

I switched my alarm clock of with a groan and i got up with a slow moving motion. I sat up and i had a hangover from last nights party at Marcus's and then i smiled at the short memories i had and got up for a shower.

After my shower i went inside my pillow and brought out the small bag that had a white powder in ti. I got my pyjamas back on and wnet to the kitchen and saw a knife. I emptied the bag slightly and used the knife to scrape a line and then i sniffed it all and i coughed and smiled as i felt like a ballon in the air.

I trodded back to my room and put some black skinny jeans on and a grey t shirt and a purple checked shirt and a black beaine and some converse. I grabbed my bag and left for school.

I walked straight to the back of the school and saw James andf Davey there already smokey "hey bitches!" i said and they smiled "alkright fucker, you were wild last night!" Davey said and i smiled and took out a cigarette and took a big puff "oh yes!" i said and they both laughed and Johno came,

"alright!" he said and got a joint out and i smiled and took another puff. I saw some teacher cars drive past and they shook there heads at us which mad eus all laugh. The bell went and none of us moved, we didnt really care to be honest.

After about fifteen minutes i thought i'd make an appearance to class "Marcus come wi me!" i said and he nodded. We walked to the office and got our timetables. The reciptionist rolled her eyes at us when we asked and we shook our heads.

Turns out we both have music with Miss Farlen. I shrugged and we made our way. We didnt knock we just walked in and two kids were up the back "move!" i said and he got scared and quickly gathered his things and found a seat by another boy.

We sat down and i looked at the teacher and she loked as if she didnt know what to do "close your mouth you'll catch flies!" i said to the teahcer who looked as if she snapped out of her daze and looked at us,

"next time you walk into my class knock before entering!" she said and i shrugged "i'll think about it!" i said and she sighed and shook her head and continued talking while i checked her out, she was hot and i mean hot.

I looked her up and down and smirked. She had some blue pumps on and some navy blue trousers that came just above her ankels and she had a white shirt on which was light ticked in and she had a thin brown belt on and a blue blazer on and her blonde hair was curled at the bottom and it was resting on her shoulder and he bright blue eyes stuck out.

Wait, those eyes. They seem familure as if ive seen them before. I looked at her more closly and shook my head, i cant think maybe im mistaking her.

The bell went and i was one fo the first out of the class."what you got next or you ditching?" he asked and i shook my head "practise see ya!" i said and he nodded. I wlaked two rooms down and it was the practise room.

It use to be a class room but its now where lessons are held and i had one but im a grade twelve so the teacher only comes every so often but he retired so i think i have Miss Farlen which is totally what i want.

I grabbed my violin which is awesome. The school let you keep them cos there rich so i re painted mine neon blue with the sides neon green and my bow pitch black, its awesome!

I tuned it up with the piano in the room and got in postion and played Vivaldi's winter season. It isnt long but it sounds great on both piano and violin and together its just magic. I then one the summer season of the same piece and thats when Miss Farlen came through, half way through me playing.

I ignored her as she leant on the wall opposite me. I dint stop when i went straight into viva la vida as i didnt want her asking questions so when i finished the song i stoped and she smiled "very good!" she siad na di shrugged "yeh!" i said as i put my violin back in its case,

"is that you done?" she asked and i nodded "yup!" i said and i put ti back on the shelf and i saw her raise an eyebrow "bye!" i said and walked out of the room. I heard her say something but i walked on and outside to the back fo the school.

"alright boys!" i said as i got there and they smiled "here!" Marcus said and threw me a new lighter "thanks!" i said and lit up a cigarette. The bell went for lunch and i shrugged and lit up a joint. and leaned against the wall as i smoked it

I was out of it so when i saw it was almost three i believed it. "bye guys!" i said and they waved me bye. I walked into town and down to the comic book store and Bill smiled at me "hey Phoenix!" he said and i smiled.

I wen through the back and dumped my bag and he gave me his tage and left. I sat behind the counter and as i done that a customer came up so i had to stand again so i could run the book through.

Once i had done that i saw there was new comics in so i put them on there shelves and tagged them. I saw school would be out so i put Jeffs comic behind the counter for him.

Jeff is twelve and just started secondary and he's a regular and he is tiny for his age its kinda cute. I heard the door chim and i looked over and saw Jeff and he smiled whe he saw me "hey migit!" i said and he sighed "stop calling me that!" he said and i laughed.

I walked over to the counter and brought put the comic "one Batman comic!" i said and he smiled "thanks Phoenix!" he cheered and i smiled "one-eighty dude!" i said and he reached into his pocket and gave me the money and i gave him his recipt and he smiled and left and i smiled.

I rearranged all the comcis as they were all mixed up and i put the new action figures out that afew people bought. Once it was five i closed up and i walked down the road to the cafe. I heard a scream and then i was shrged onto the floor,

"i havnt seen you all summer!" Tony the owner said, he was gay and married and you could tell he was gay "Tony you peanut get of me!" i sai dna dhe jumped of me and gave me a hand up and i shook my head "so my honey hows school?" he asked as i walked up to the counter and leaned on ti slightly,

"shit!" i said and he made me a coffee "yeh i thought that two bu he-haw to school!2 he said and i nodded "although theres a bunch of teahcers sitting there so, shcool is the best place in the world!" he shouted and i laughed and looked over and they were all shaking there heads and i saw Miss Farlen was one of them,

"no its not its crap!" one of the teahcers said and i smiled "does this mena i can dis school endlessly?" i asked and they alls hook there heads "stupid teahcers!" i said and Tony laughed "one pumpkin coffee for a pumpkin!" he said and ir aised an eyebrow,

"did you just call me a fat orange thing?" i asked and he nodded "yeh but your more skinny!" he said and i shook my head "whatever!" i said and took a sip and nodded "you actually make a good coffee!" i said and he shook his head "why do i bother!" he said and i shrugged "i dont know either!" i said and gave him my last fiver for the week.

He gave me my change and i had £4.50 for the rest fo the week, shit."well thats me, bye!" i said and he nodded "bye pumpkin!" he said and i laughed a bit and left for home. It didnt take a long walk until i got to the flat.

I wlaked up seven flights of stairs until i got to a brown door. I unlocked it and stepped inside and picked up the mail which were all bills. I set them on the table beside the door waiting for my mum and i put my keys beside them.

I walked through to the living room and my mum was laying passed out on the couhc. I looked her over and she was ina short leather skirt and a purple sequin top and a leather jacket and neon pink heels and her hair was a mess and i shook my head in disgust.

I got a glass of water and poured it over her face and she sprang up "why did you do that?" she asked stern and i could harldy make it out as she was sdrunk out of her mind "whatever!" i said and went to my room and slammed my door shut.

I heard her move around and the front door banged shut, i guess she's gone then no bye or love you or telling me where just a bang of the door. I hadnt seen her in two months, i got use to it now i practicly live alone i pay all the bills but rent. 

Im expecting a letter in the poist to say were bing evicted because my mum has failed to pay the rent.

I shook my head and got changed into my grey joggers that i got from a charity shop, thats where i get all my clothes there cheap so i have more for food. Once i got changed i crawled into bed, i was shattered.
