Madison Pierce: A Narrative Fiction

“Yes, we are going to ditch school tomorrow and head over to John’s at 11:30, I already notified him that we’ll be there.” confirmed Chance.

This lady always sweating me. “Where is your lanyard”? I quickly pull it out and start jetting for the stairs praying to god i get to put my things in my locker and make it to my seat before the bell. We had to be in our seats or we’ll get a tardy demerit that nobody wants. Demerits added up. If you had 4 demerits, it ended up with you in a 3 hour detention. I walk with a sense of urgency passed all teachers and students since we cannot run in the hallway or that ends in getting a demerit. Only if you get caught. I skip past all students trying to at least put my bag and jacket away. It’s 7:26am and I’m still trying to rush. Just in time I made it to my seat “Ding”. Saved by the bell. I go to school just looking forward to new knowledge, and my boys. The twins are my homies. The call them that cause they so identical you really could not tell them apart at all. Their real names was Demacio and Demario. Demario was the oldest by one whole minute. They were humble kids. They were only sophomores. Today I learnt more on the Trayvon Martin case. Y’all do not know about that unless i’m assuming. My boy was shot and killed because he looked suspicious. That’s very crazy how people think because we’re black that they should be scared. My guy only hand

I nod and mumble, “Thanks,” and maneuver the car out of her driveway. I drive to the house she pointed at, and park. Before I can unhook my seatbelt, Malcolm opens the front door and runs towards me.

"My cat." Tyler walks to the driver's seat. I hop into the back seat with Kyle. Alex is in shotgun, with his headphones in. The truck roars to life. Soon my house is nothing but a blurry spot in the

I go to school. After the bus drives by I walk to the barn and

I stop, remembering my mother warning me not to get in the car with strangers who offer you candy... She never said anything about getting in the car with cute guys who offer you coffee. Reluctantly, I follow him to his black charger and direct him to my house.

“I’ve been looking for him,” she said, clutching her books. “I tried calling him yesterday, but he never

I give him a blank, vacant stare. I’ve always swerved around things. What if there isn’t a different road? What then, Mr. Tuck. I don’t ask these questions out loud, but he can tell I’m thinking

“You should probably stop daydreaming and get ready,” Matt suggests from behind me in the lift line. He is the guy who has taken me

“We were going home from fishing and saw you being pulled out of that stupid truck!” said Jay.

I run to the car and get in the car, my cousin was going to give a ride to school with me and my sister.

“Yo Trey, check it out!”, I turn and see my boy Ice, my teammate and best friend since third grade. “You see all these honeys up in here? You know they love football players haha, better rep the huskies tonight!” I grin, he was right after all. I was the starting quarterback back for the Wake Forest Huskies varsity team, so I couldn't just leave the party. Me and my boys, we the life of the party. “Aye, but I'ma catch you later bro, ya know Jaida waiting for my upstairs, ya feel me?”, I roll my eyes. “Jaila. Her name’s Jaila.” Ice always has a different female at every party we go to, and he goes to all he can. “I don't care if her name was Humpty-Dumpty ghee, all I know is she look good tonight.”

“Come on let's go we're late,” my mom yelled for the middle of the stairs again.
