The Day of 4/20
Once upon a time, there was a kid named Dylan. Dylan was 13 years old and just moved from Minneapolis, Minnesota to Dallas, Texas. He moved on April 10th and started going to his new school and he didn't know anyone or had many friends. Whenever he rode his bus though he saw some suspicious stuff, he saw a bunch of smoke from the back of the bus and he was questioning what it was, he thought to himself maybe they have a smoke machine in the back and where testing it out. He honestly thought that was what it was at first and wanted to go back to the back of the bus to watch it. The next day at school he started to make some friends that played football and basketball, they taught him how this school worked and all the people …show more content…

Then the kid asked Dylan a question that defined his life and what path he would go down. “Hey, you want to smoke with us after school?” Dylan didn't know what to do, he didn't even know what weed was. He looked around and it looked like the other kids were having fun and wasn't really harmed by it so he said “Hell, why not.” So he did after school, He had a blast and made so many new friends, he also thought he has found a new way to relax and it was harmless, at least that's what he thought. He didn’t know the more he did it the more he started getting addicted, Dylan just thought he found a way to make some new friends and just have some fun. Thinking it was just that he started smoking before school every day and you could of smelt it through the whole school. He noticed everyone wasn’t being friends with him, the football team never hanged out with him anymore, the basketball team left him in the dust. He didn't understand why too, maybe he they just didn’t want him around them at all. The only friends he had was the people that smelt the same way as him, smelt exactly like weed.

He got his grades up at the end of the semester to straight B’s, he got very athletic during the summer and he joined the football team. He was a the Quarterback’s favorite wide receiver, mainly because they’ve gone together for so long. Andrew was the head Quarterback now and the dynamic duo made the Texas High School Football State Championship. The night before the game Andrew and Dylan slept together and Dylan couldn’t go to sleep because he was so nervous, he remembered how he came from having a addiction for weed into the state championship for football. “What you thinking about Dylan?” said Andrew. “Man I can’t get over how far we have came, from being the back-up of the team to leading us to a state championship or battling a addiction of weed.” “Yeah, it’s kind of crazy to think about isn't it. But we still have a championship to win and after that, we can relax and reflect on what we have done.” said Andrew as he shut off the last slither of light in the room. “Good night Andrew.”
