When I Turned Eighteen

THE CLASSROOM JOKE.

It was 8:00 in the morning, "yawn", he panicked because he was late to class as always, he hurriedly went into the shower then after that hurriedly went to class ,Immediately he entered everyone started laughing at his posture, he taught for a second and remembered that he didn't even comb his hair,making it look him look like a hobo, although he is tall and handsome no girl in the class wanted him, intact they despised him just because he isn't rich nor from a rich family.

He ignored them and went straight to his seat , "Blake", "Blake Turner" is that you? , at first he taught it was his teacher Miss sylvia when he turned he was surprised to see his old friend Thomas, Thomas is the only friend he had since they were kids

Acting like he has seen a ghost, he freaked out, but he snapped out of it and asked "Tho...Thomas, what are you doing here??

Staring at Blake, he was about to reply him when miss sylvia interrupted their sudden reunion, "class,this is our new student Thomas he was transferred from the Golden Gates University, Class, meet Thomas, Thomas, meet your classmates.

Thomas sighed and introduced himself to the class, although he wasn't that good looking, The clothes he wore was the latest classic brands only the rich can afford , all the girls sighed in their hearts as if they were all connected as one, they said in their thoughts "this is the kind of man for me"". Miss sylvia, please where can I sit ?? She pointed and said "since you already know Blake, you can sit next to him", everyone turned towards where miss sylvia was pointing at, to their disappointment, it was blake that she was pointing to.

It has been years since Blake got in touch with Thomas, Thomas walked straight to Blake, he was excited to see his friend again, ever since first grade, Blake has only been his true friend, although he had a lot of friends, Blake was an extraordinary person, even though blake hardly had any money he had this confidence in him that always seemed to surprise Thomas.

"Hey brother, it's been so long, what brings you to my school" ??

Thomas replied I will fill you in after class..

Blake nodded and said, "yes, education is the key they say" Thomas smiled and said "you haven't changed a bit, even though you are a grown man, you are still the Blake I knew back then"

"Class is in session, everyone focus" says miss.sylvia, anytime she asks a question blake is the first to answer and he is always correct, that's because he is a brilliant student, he wouldn't have got into the university if he had to pay the tuition fees, he was there on a scholarship, so even though he was always late to class ,he never failed his classes, all the lecturers liked him because of his hard work, so they don't get mad when he is late for classes, because they knew the situation he was in, and that is one of the reasons why most of the students hate Blake because they think the teachers favors him too much compared to the them,if either one dared to be late to class they had to be punished, but in Blake's case it's different.

The class finally came to an end for the day,since Blake had to go back to work, he was In a hurry, when he was about to leave, Thomas held his arm and said dude, where are you going in such a hurry ? Blake smiled faintly and said I have to go to work as soon as possible because there are a lot of customers waiting for me, if I don't get there fast I will lose some customers and that won't be good for business.

"Let me give you a ride then", Blake nodded "yes,then we can catch up on things along the way".

They drove off campus, "oh no, not again" there's traffic, so he will be late, but before he could continue, it turned green, they got to where Blake works, "I have to go inside now, I will see you when I get back, any way,thank you for the ride".
