Chapter 111

"My name is James Thomas," he replied.

"Cool nice to meet you," I said.

As we got on the School bus I realized that I have forgotten to look for Cassandra in my head I was like "Oh well we will meet tomorrow in school and I will apologize to her for not looking for her after school," I said in my thoughts.

James and I started to chat on the bus while on our way home. 

"Are you new to this school?" I asked

"No I have actually been going here since last year," he answered.

"Okay cool can we be friends?" I asked while looking straight at him.

"Of course," he replied.

That was the day I met my soon to be best friend and partner in crime "James Thomas," James is a black boy from Brooklyn, whose family are very notorious in the streets of Brooklyn.

I got home a few minutes later I went upstairs to my room,  I threw my backpack on my bed and take off my school uniform, I quickly went into my bathroom and took a shower after taking my shower I went into my room and went to my closet looking for what to wear, I took out a blue jean trouser with a long sleeve that has New Yorkers writing at the front of it, with a black flip flop, P.S my mom is not at home because she works at a Shoe store close to our house.

After getting ready I was very hyped to go too my favorite arcade center called papa Jones gaming close to my house and to look for something to eat, I got into Papa Jones the first thing I noticed there was 2 dudes on my favourite arcade game Astro world, Astro world is a car racing game to which I hold the highest record, I moved closer to these dudes playing Astro world, I started to watch them racing passionately against each other as one of them was screeming,

"I am going to beat your ass in this game bro," one of the guys said with a very aggressive look on his face, I started to watch as one of this guy break my high score right in front of my face, I got furious about it, "I am down for a game with you," I said facing the guy that just beat my record, "Okay jump in let me see what you got," the guy said looking at me with a mischievous smirk on his face. We started to play the game for a few minutes, I lost the game to him.

"So what's your name champion?" I asked.

"Tommy is the name" he said

"Okay mines Julio" I replied. 

"Nice to meet you Julio" he answered.

"So Julio you live around these blocks" he added

"Yea I live a couple blocks down from these arcade" I replied.

That's how I met Tommy Jackson, my soon to be best friend, Tommy is a black boy from Atlanta who's family has lived in Brooklyn almost their whole life, he also went to the same school with me.
