Jason had been working at the school for months now, trying to earn some money. His mother had recently lost her job, and his allowance had halted to a stop. He had no other means to make money, so working at the school it was.He went to school at Brixton High, and because it was a small town, everyone knew everyone, a few of his classmates knew that he was poor and had to work at the school. The other boys liked to punish him, especially the members of the football team. One day, they had walked in on him cleaning the locker room and picking up after them, and since then, they had made his life a living hell.“Yo Jason,” they would yell at lunchtime, “eat up, so you have enough energy for later.” Some would make the cleaning gestures, and although it flustered him and made him really uncomfortable, he would not react. Sometimes the quarterback himself made his life a living hell. Among his responsibilities were to clean the lockers, sweep and mop the hallways, clean up the lunch a
In the arms of one of the football players was his girlfriend, Macy. Macy had been his girlfriend for a few months and he really liked her. She was one of the prettiest girls in the school, and when she had agreed to be his girlfriend, he had been so proud. Snapping back to reality, he looked at her again and realized she was there with one of the football players. Confused, he asked her, “Macy? What the fuck? What are you doing here?” The football player was not pleased with this line of speech, and he turned to Macy to look at her, “you know this dude?”“Yeah, he's the boyfriend I was telling you about.” Nodding in understanding, the guy left the couple with each other. “Deal with your issues, ” he said, smiling, “ and call me later.”“Of course, ” Macy called, watching him as he left. When he was gone, she turned to Jason. “Why are you here, Jason?”“What do you mean by that? You were with that football player. We're together! You were cheating on me!” “No, answer my question
Afraid to be hit again, Jason stayed sprawled on the floor for quite some time. He could not believe his luck. Not only was the girl that he loved dating him for pity, but he had been mocked just because he was poor.His father worked far away and had never been able to send too much money home, and he felt it would be selfish to even ask him for money, since he was working so hard. Now look where that had gotten him. He sat up and pulled his shirt down, covering the stupid inscription that had been written on his back. He felt his anger rise again. If only he could become rich overnight, maybe he could get another job asides this one? Just as soon as he had adopted that train of thought, he brushed it away too. He was not going to get any other job. He had looked at every other option before finally landing on this one, so where would he go? He considered everything as his shoulders began to shake.Why was he so helpless? Why did he have to b so poor? It made no sense to him at al
He walked down the stairs and headed towards the kitchen for some breakfast. His mother was still asleep because it was the weekend, so he poured out some cereal into a bowl, grabbing the last of the milk in the kitchen. As he settled down to eat, he heard the doorbell ring, and he set down his spoon into the bowl of cereal, milk splashing down the sides of the full bowl. Just great.In his excitement to open the door, leftover tremors from his newfound wealth had made him drop the spoon too fast, and now not only would he have soggy cereal, he had a mess to clean up.He walked over to the door and yanked down the handle, expecting to see someone. Instead, he noticed that the bill of the mailbox was lowered, signifying that they had new mail.His mother was on top of the bills, luckily for them, but curiosity got the better of him, and he went over to the mailbox, pulling out a small box that rattled whenever he shook it. Back inside the house, he took a seat at the island again and
In the first shop he saw, he looked through the windows and saw that they sold dresses. He had no idea what size of dress that Ashley wore, so he couldn't get her a dress. He moved forward and saw that it was mostly dresses being sold in that part of town. He finally decided to step into one for lack of a better idea. Immediately he walked in, he expected a salesperson to come to his attention.Yet, nothing of the sort happened. Quickly, he stepped out, overwhelmed. He had noticed that there was a small number of people in the store from the window, but he hadn't thought much of it and had carelessly walked in.He kept walking until he saw a store that sold women's purses. Purses were safe, right? If he got her a purse, she could use it, and it meant that he didn't have to worry about sizing. He walked into the shop and was immediately ambushed by a salesperson. It seemed like it was a slow business day, and she was excited to have a customer until she looked at him from top till bo
With the sound of the falling bracelet, all of them turned over to look at him, and he quickly bent down to the floor to pick it up. He had hoped that the sound had gone unnoticed in the store, but he knew it was wishful thinking.When he got back up and raised his head back up, he saw that everyone was looking at him, the salesperson, Macy, and the footballer. When they saw him, the young couple started laughing, and he felt color rush into his cheeks.They walked over to him, her hand wrapped in his and poked at his cheek. “Jason? Come on now. You're too poor for this place, what are you looking for? ” The footballer went to stand behind him, and grabbed him by the arm. “Come on, get out. We don't want you stealing anything, do we?” he asked, getting a chorus of no from the women.“I have just as much of a right to be here as you!” he heard himself saying. And it was true. These people didn't know what funds he had, yet they had the gall to treat him like a common thief. He had sta
Macy remained standing in place, her minded wide open and gaping. He would be worried about her, but even in his kindness, he remembered that she was the ex that had broken his heart so brutally a few days before.“You were going to show me your jewelry, right?” he asked the salesgirl, raising a brow. She had gone ahead of him, and was already showing him different things she thought he would like.“Do you like diamonds? Precious stones? I'm sure we could find something special in store for you. Do you have a budget?”At a loss for words, he merely shrugged, choosing to keep browsing. He felt an intense gaze on his skin, and he turned around to find that it was only Macy.Her eyes had softened in a way that they had never softened before, and her eyes had gotten dewy. He felt like she was eyeing him like he was a piece of meat, which made him uncomfortable.“Baby!” she suddenly shrieked, and he looked over to the football player, who was also standing there, expectant. Instead, she w
The manager came back out with the salesgirl, and Jason was overjoyed at the sight of someone else beside the three people in the store. All three of them seemed to have some vendetta against him. She was a lovely looking woman, with short brown hair, and she looked friendly enough.“It's him! That's the thief!”The manager didn't say a word and simply went to the table, picking up the hairpin. “Is this what he stole?”“Yes!”Stole? He had not stolen anything! Why was this happening to him? She set the hairpin down and noticed the other things on the table. She turned sharply to him with a sweat running down her face. “This ring. Is it yours? Oh dear God. I shouldn't have come in to work today.” Jason stood in place, wondering what was going on. He picked up his ring and slipped it on his index finger.“Look, I have already seen enough. I paid for that purse, so if I could just have the box and leave? That would be great. Thank you.He watched the manager blanche white at that sugg
