Chapter One

intro

            "Malik!" called Malik's mom 

His mom told him to come and eat breakfast he was almost finished until he heard a spraying sound from coming outside. He Went to go check it out he ran there as fast as he could. What he saw was a bunch of kids spray painting Mr.Justin's house there was nothing he could do "they looked like 9th graders" he thought. He went back inside and finished is food. His mom had asked him what was it he knew he couldn't tell her the truth so he said it was cats scratching. He went to school and right when the first bell rang he knew he was late. Troy his best friend asked why he was late he said "never mind that".

 Then a burly kid pushed him and asked him for his lunch money.
