it was the last period of the last day of school at Webster high school and as with any high school all the children are rowdy and ready for their summer vacation to begin
Anthony Barden a 17 year old black male with a seemingly good head on his shoulders, and a bright future in the entertainment business.
Anthony: (talking to himself) Man I can't wait for this damn bell to ring, I'm so ready to be outta here.
Carter, Anthony's bestfriend since early childhood and a classic class clown. was sitting in the chair in front of Anthony and overheard him.
Carter: What you say bro?
Anthony: Nothin', just waiting on this damn bell!
Carter: Who you Tellin'?! I've been ready to get the hell out of here since September.
just then the Teacher Mrs. Torren cuts them off
Mrs. Torren a slim white woman with straight brown hair and who wore glasses straight from the 60's it seems like.
Mrs. Torren: you boys wanna share with the class!
Carter: Hell yea! I'm ready to go!
the class then burst into laughter
Mrs. Torren: Cut it out Carter. You're not the only one ready to get out of here.
Anthony takes a glimpse at the clock and notices his freedom is literally
seconds away
he turns to the class and starts to count down
7...6...5...4...3...2...RI
Anthony: Free at last, Free at last, Thank God almighty we're free at last.
Miguel De'Jesus a latino male standing about 6'4'' and very flamboyant
looks over at Anthony
Miguel: you know you shouldn't tease Dr. King like that.
Anthony: (laughs) why not?
Miguel: because of what he stood for, equal rights for ever--
Anthony: man, you can miss me with that civil rights bull shit.
as Carter and Anthony walk through the hallways they start to say their goodbyes which were more like "see you laters" seeing how most of the people that went to Webster.
as they walk outside they run into Jaqueline "Jaque" Nelson arguably one of the prettiest girl that goes to Webster. with light brown eyes, and jet black shoulder length, and a smile that would light up the darkest places on earth.
Jaque: What's up !?
Anthony: shit, I'm about to go home probably grab something to eat but after that I don't know.
Jaque: that's cool. What about you Carter?
Carter: (looking at a flyer a lady was passing out as the students were getting out of school) I may hit this party up...
Jaque & Anthony: what party?
Carter hands them the flyer.
Jaque: I heard about this place it's suppose to be pretty hype. My girl Lola went there before and said it was pretty coo-
Carter: wait Lola with the big...
Jaque : (narrows her eyes) Big what!?
Carter: big...big...big eyes
Jaque: yea I guess.
Anthony: yea I don't think I can go.
Jaque: Why not?
Anthony: cause I think my uncle has to work and I have to keep an eye on my lil brothers.
Carter: bring them fools with you.
Anthony: Do you realize who we're talking about?
Carter: yea I mean the twins are 14 and Vince is 15 it's about time they get into the party life.
Jaque: yea bring them along Tone, plus my girls Lola and Princess are going to be there. and Princess wants to see you.
Anthony: I guess I could bring them along...
later on that night.
Carter calls Anthony
Carter: ayo, You ready?
Anthony: nah, not yet still have to hop in the shower.
Carter: alright well I’m about to catch the train to your crib anyway.
Anthony: cool I should be out by the time you get here.
About 15 minutes later, Carter rings the Buzzer and Vince goes to answer.
Vince is one of Anthony’s younger brothers , he’s 15 and looks almost exactly like Anthony except he’s about 4 inches taller and has less facial hair and little more timid.
Carter: What’s up V-dog!
Vince: What’s up Carter.
Carter: So are you coming with us tonight?
Vince has a blank look on his face.
Anthony is standing behind Vince signaling Carter to be quiet about the party.
Vince turn Anthony
Vine: what is he talking bout Tone?
Anthony: nothing man don’t worry about it.
Carter: why you ain’t tell them about the party?
Anthony (to Carter): Shut the hell up!
Anthony (to Vince): Me, Carter and some more of my friends are going to a party at this new club
Vince: I want to go!
Anthony: No! Stay here and Keep and eye on Brian and Chris
Vince: What we’re like the same age!
Anthony: I know which is why you should all stay here and play the game all night or something, I’ll take you guys next time.
Vince: man whatever.
Carter rubs Vince’s head as they walk out
Carter: see you late kiddo.
Vince: shut up foo!
Carter and Anthony are walking to the subway as Carter’s phone rings
It’s Jaque
Carter: What’s up Jaque?
Jaque: where you at?!
The back round is muffled and the music is blasting
Carter: I can’t here you!...
Jaque: Where you at Boy?! You need to be here this party is knockin’ something serious.
Carter: Straight!?
Jaque: Yes, Get here now!
Carter turns to Anthony.
Carter: We need to be there NOW!
Carter and Anthony start to run toward the subway….
