August 21th , 2008 A young 15 year old kid is walking down the street of New York. It was my birthday and my bestfriend D wanted to surprise me. She been talking for over 3 weeks about marijuana and the effects it would have on you after inhaling a couple pulls. We walked to the park , couple blocks away from my house. I was curious to try weed but i fear my mother would instantly find out , she'd always pop up randomly and catch me doing the unthinkable. As we sat down at the bench couple feet away from the handball court D pulled out a bag and this weird tobacco wrap and started rolling it up. For some reason at that precise moment i knew my life would change forever and so i took a drag with joy.
Drug Dealer
I was 15 years young and full of ambition. My bestfriend D was really beautiful and bright , we had a bond it was like bonnie and clyde. We would always come up with ideas and ways to support our habit. Most of the money came from my mother and father. D mother died when she was a infant and she never met her father so she never had any money , but that was non of my business , i never question her nor cared because she was happy and thats all that matter to me. She had this drug dealer she met from playing a game of handball name Bear. To me he was more of a gang member he always had a blue flag and blue beads around his neck , tons and tons of them it was ridiculous. We would buy weed of him and smoke on the rooftop buildings nearby the park. Everyday went by nothing changed i would find myself smoking with D exchanging ideas and ways to better our lifestyle. We talked so much about lavish things , mansions , extraordinary food , fancy clothes that one day she came up with a plan to feed our imagination. The first step we took was buying a Ounce and bagging it up in nickle and dimes . It was fate that brought us together and there was no turning back.
Success In the Making
3 month went by and business was great . Me and my partner in crime ''D'' were selling out every 4 hours or so , we would profit 200 bucks out of each ounce and split it right down the middle. Since she had sex appeal every guy would buy off her more then they did from me , they would even buy extra bags to impress her. Its funny how she would tell me the corny lines they used on her , they had no chance. I started to have a crush on my partner , I wanted to confront her ,tell her how i felt but i had no idea how so i remained it a secret. As the money piled up we would go shoppin , D thought me how to dress good enough to have any girl i wanted, she brought life to my style. I started to think i was Tony Montana at one point. Life was great we supported our habit each day that went by , we bought any food we wanted and clothes , you couldn't ask for more as a teenager in the Bronx because not everyone had it as good as we did.
Farewell my Dear Friend
Its the ending of winter and i'm waking up with morning breath as always . D suddenly calls me saying she has bad news , so i tell her to stop by my house. 30 mins pass by D finally arrives knocking on my door , as i open she instantly hugs me. I could feel her tears running down my chest , i asked ''whats wrong Dalena '' She tells me she's moving to Hawaii and might never come back. I knew things wasn't going to get any better so i gave her a bracelet i bought from the mall and told her to always remember me by it , i also said that if you keep it on it would mean our friendship is eternal. Her flight was sooner than i expected she only had 20 mins left and i wanted to confront her about my feeling but somewhere deep inside of me knew i had to leave it a secret , so i did. She gave me one last hug and told me to never quit , to always follow my dreams. I never cried as much as i did on that night. It was heartbreaking but i moved on and prayed for her and a safe trip.
