Chapter 2 pages 6-14

pg.6) I was playing pool with my friends at Benny's minding my own buisness when i heard that this kid, Biff Wilcox, was looking for me because he wantedto kill me. pg.7) I was playing pool with B.J. Jackson i was definatley winning because i am amazing at pool. This kid comes in and told me that Biff was looking to kill me. This didn't phase me at all i could take Biff i knew it. I wanted to know why Biff wanted to kill me. Midget, the kid who told me about Biff, said that he wanted to kill me because of something i said to his girl, Anita. What i said about Anita was true, all of my buddies agreed with it. Pg.8) It really bugs me when people want to kill me for such a small and stupid reason, if it was a big reason then by all means kill me i dont care but for a small one thats just insane. Chocolate milk is my favorite i always got that instead of coke. Midget told me that Biff wanted to meet me and the vacant lot behind the pet store. Well obviously Biff isn't going to go alone, so of course now I'm going to have to bring friends to back me up if something goes wrong. pg.9) Steve Didn't like the idea of me bringing friends with me, but then again Steve is always like that. I calmed Steve down and told him that He'll just be there to watch he won't get into the fight to. It is between me and Biff no one else. pg.10) He started to bring up the motorcycle boy again. This got me really angry because i don't like talking about him. B.J. then decided to say well yeah we never fought Biff's gang before. They don't understand I am not scared one bit. I started thinking about something, I can't remeber what it was cause of my bad memory. Then someone mentioned the motorcycle boy again and how he was going to come back. This got me really mad and i slammed my fists down on the table so hard that some of the tables around mine actually shook. I screamed "He is not coming back!" pg.11) I knew the motorcycle boy wasn't coming back so i needed to decide this one on my own and i was going to fight Biff whether my friends liked it or not. My friends said they'll be there so hopefully they won't chicken out. Smokey said to me "Okay well let's try and keep it between you two." I got so mad i ran out of there so fast. Steve came running behind me like he always did and asked what was the matter, which comforted me in a way. All i wanted was a cigarrette and Steve didn't have any because he didn't smoke but thank god i had an extra in my shirt pocket. So Steve kept asking about the motorcycle boy again. I told him to shut up before i hit him agian like id did the last time he got me so mad, and he did shut up. pg.12) I kept walking really fast because i dont know why, but Steve was yelling at me to slow down. I stopped at the bridge the motorcycle boy used to always go. Steve kept talking about the motorcycle boy i ignored him as best i could. I think he got the hint, then he went on about how our neighborhood was crummy. I knew it was really crummy but it wasn't as bad as some other places. pg.13) I cut Steve out for good he was still talking but i could barely hear him. I wads thinking about my mom, which i don't really remeber she's been gone along time. Then i thought about why Steve was my bestfriend were so different from each other, but maybe the saying is right opposites do attract. I have known Steve longer than anyone else so maybe that's it, who knows.

Chapter 1 pages 1-5

While I was sitting on the beach i saw my old friend Steve. He came up behind me and scared me. He said "Rusty James" in a funny voice. I had to do a double take because i didn't realize it was him. He was wondering what i was doing sitting on the beach, I told him i lived here and he told me he was on vacation. We stared talking and i found out he was going to college to be a high school teacher. He was in college and I was sitting on the beach doing nothing with my life. He sounded disappointed when i told him this, he asked me how long. I've been doing nothing with my life for 5 or 6 years now how pathetic. Steve still looks the from the last time i saw him except he has a moustache now, which is sort of funny. He is asking me questions, which is pretty normal when you don't see someone for a long time but i don't like answering them cause i can't remember. My memory is horrible so i made up some stuff. He was staring at the scar i had gotten in a knife fight a long time ago. I guess it brought back bad memories for him since he witnessed the fight. It's hard to believe but Steve has girlfriend, he never seemed like the type of kid to have a girlfriend he was always so shy and quiet. He wants to go to dinner sometime to talk about our childhood. I really do not want to go i don't even remember what happened. Just before he was about to tell me who I reminded him of i stopped him. I knew exactly who he was talking about and i didn't want to think of that the pain just hurts so much.
