        CHAPTER ONE 

I gasped in the refreshing air, as I looked at the cement stairs that led to a sidewalk. I quickly jogged down the stairs with the crowd. I saw people throw there pappers in the air and people dancing around. " you guys know that we will be back in a week" yelled a boy still in the school doorway. People glared at him. I made my way through the over whelming crowd. I walked straight for  Oliver's snacks store. He moved his business right next to himbrick middleschool. Well I knew Oliver sence my first day at this school. I went over to his place evoding the bullies. This hickory hair was tuck under a hat at the time. He told me to try his grilled cheese sandwich. Of course I did. Instant friendship. 


"Eddie, how was school?" Oliver gestures a welcome as I troll in the store. Eddie is my nickname my full name is Edward harled Jones. I absolutely hate my name. So I created Eddie.


" It sucked." I told him while leaning on the counter. He gave me a " really" Glare. "Well the stupid henresn boy was talk smack about my father." I exclaimed. He gave me one look while restocking the aisle across from me. " well your father is the mayor and his Ideas are pretty...uhh...out there." He told me sheepily. I shrugged, I knew that my father wants to destroy this patch of woods, for a apartment complex that is cheaper than most. So my situation  is a little complicated. Over the years people came attached to this little patch of woods we call " Hillrim forest". I mean my father means good but his ideas are just well crazy. I never been close to my father, but one day he decided the way to fix our economy is to save the town's money. 
  He canceled the Christmas fundraiser.

" Oliver you know that I don't really spend time with my father,so I mean why do kids have to pick on me about it" I responded. Oliver looked at me with concerned eyes. He walked from the asisle and put leaned against the counter with me. " Eddie, people like to think there opion will change things, but it won't and they know that
 So they take it on anyone they see." Oliver told me with empathy. I grabed a chocolate bar. " thanks oliver, have a nice holiday" I responded while handing him a ten dollar bill. " Keep the change" I yelled back. I opened tye store door and ran out before Oliver could say anything.
