I stormed out of the principal's office, promising to myself never to return, I hate this place. I rush to my locker and empty it's remainders into my backpack. I slam my locker closed and brush my long dirty blonde hair behind my shoulder, then finally exit the school in a hurry, leaving before the bell rang to signify the end of the day. Once I leave the school I attempt to process what I, Charlie Smith, have just done.

I grab my keys from my warn-out bag and slowly unlock the front door. I stop in the kitchen and pick up the leftovers from dinner and place them in the microwave. I gaze at the chicken and rice as it start to steam when the microwave comes to a stop. I seize my food and begin walking to my room.

I pull out my laptop from my bag and start to watch Netflix while eating the leftovers. Then multiple minutes later, my dad whips open my door and says;

"I just got a call from the school saying you dropped out, when were you planning on telling me?"

"Soon, I just needed sometime to figure out a job first," I replied.

"Good luck finding a steady job without a high school degree-" he slurred his words faintly as he exited the room which left a faint smell of alcohol behind. I stay seated with starring blankly at my wall. As I reprocess what my dad told me, when I get a sudden flash of ideas. I pick up my phone and dial my best friend, Sophie, which I begin the explain the plan.

"If we rob Laura's house, I wouldn't have to get a job,"I began, "She super rich and I babysit for her daughter, Maya, so that's our way in"

"I'm down to help," responded Sophie.

"Good, I'll text you a plan," I said. I end the call and start to write down my idea vividly in my notes on my old cracked Iphone 6s.

Two hours later, my phone dies and I put it on the corner of my nightstand and turn off my lamp. I stare at the sealing for a bit before I close my eyes and fall asleep, because of the lack of sleep I've been having.

The next morning arrives and I wake up to the sound of the door bell ringing. I fling myself out of bed and rush to the door in a hurry. As I grab my small glasses and force them on my pale face, I swing open the door to see Sophie on my front steps with 2 large iced coffees in her hands.

"Goodmorning,' she says while walking into my house and handing me a coffee.

"why are you here so early?" I question.

"First of all it's 11am, that's not early and we need to start planning the robbery," Sophie exclaimed. As we start to sketch out the plan, I say "Wait, don't we need more than just two people to make this work?"

"Oh yeah, for sure, let me make some calls," Sophie added while grabbing her phone and exiting the room.

I walk to my room and change into the first pair of sweatpants and hoodie I see. Within the next 15 minutes, I hear Sophie open the front door and a couple more footsteps enter. I walk into my kitchen to see Sophie's brother, Tyler and our other best friend Jordyn. Tyler locks eyes with me as he begins to say: "Hi"

I think quickly on how to reply but then suddenly my words run out of my mouth: "Hi Tyler!" I reply with too much excitement in my voice.

"I think quickly an idea, when you babysit her daughter this weekend," Sophie exclaims, "We can wait until her daughter goes to sleep then you can let me in through the back door and we will steal the jewelry, TVs, and a lot other stuff.

"I'll drive my truck around the side and Jordyn will help me load the stuff into the back of my car," Tyler adds.

"Yeah, that would work but then you would need to leave with us once we get all the stuff," continued Sophie.

"Anything works as long as we get the stuff and don't get caught" I claim.

"Perfect, then we have a plan, I'll text you and see you guys Friday" Sophie says in a calming voice.
