On August 14 2006 A 17 year old teenage boy, Richie started school at Revenda High School his life was very determined because things never went his way. When he took his first step in his high school he thought to himself "I wonder if any1 will still remember me?"then wondered if his friend didn't transfer to another school. He looked all over the place for his friend and no sight for him then suddenly when someone tapped his shoulder, he turned around and saw his best friend, Veronica. He was surprised that he came to his school because most of his friends were going to a different school.She hugged richie really hard that he was almost out of breathe. She smiled to richie then he smiled back. Richie came up to Veronica and said "can u come to the office with me I need my schedule for the semester" she smiled and said "Sure!"
They went to the office and told them that they needed the schedule and the principal said "sure."and gave them their schedule and when richie glared at his schedule. Veronica looked at him and said "what's wrong?" and he said "I have Ms. Lerall again for math" then Veronica said "so do I! i guess we will be seeing each other alot." "I guess so" said Veronica. 7 months later richie was at homeroom on a Friday afternoon he was talking to his other friends and then the bell rang. Before he left advisory mrs. Batra said "I will see you all Friday.
When he left out at advisory he got a phone call from his mother he was wondering y she called him this early so he picked up. "hey mom remember I will be at my friends house" richie said. "well i don't think that's a good idea you remember your cousin Gary?" said laringa (mom). "yea?" said richie. "Well he died last night during a drive by near his park". Said laringa. Richie gasps and says "what happened?" "he was playing near the swings and then he walked around the park until a car came up fast and then shot him and his friend with multiple shots"
Said laringa "ok well I will walk home then can u drop me off at the hospital?" then laringa agreed with richie. He walked home then walked up the driveway when he saw his mom down the street in her car he got inside the house, put his backpack in his room, then got in the car. 1 hour later they got to the hospital then got inside and told the doctor "where do u keep Gary Collins?" then the doctor said "yes in room 47 go down the hall then make a left"
The Hard Life Richie and Laringa was walking down the hall they made a left then found room 47 they went in the room and opened the curtains and saw Gary covered in blood "Gary r u alright?" Richie said "yea I'll live maybe for awhile"Gary said "well I hope you feel better", then the surgeons came in and carried him away "where are you taking him?" said Richie One of the doctors say "I'm gonna have to put surgery on him and if we fail he's a goner" "please help him doctor" said Richie "we will do the best we can"
