Time always seems to fly when you are around friends but it can also be considered a bad thing, you while away precious time doing things that won't benefit you and in the end you see that you were wrong, it also can be considered a good thing because you spend time in making friends who are loyal and can stand by you. So if I was to give an advise I would say do the right thing at the right time but in this case, "Keep yourself busy with your friends".

Having been woken up by the bright shine of the sun, Peter stood up and went downstairs to greet his parents. His mom was nicely dressed wearing a pink hat, a silver dress and a glass shoe(what Peter takes the shoe as) and his step-dad was still wearing his pyjamas and having a nice cup of tea. He reached downstairs and took a bow before his parents as he said, "good morning mom and dad". On hearing his voice his mom came close and hugged him as she greeted him back. His dad was seating on a nicely laid chair and wasn't really paying attention to what Peter said rather he was quite interested in the cup of tea he was having. Peter looked up to his mom and she said to him, "Everything will be alright, go take your bath and get ready for school". Peter smiled as she said those words and left in haste, he was always happy to hear his mom's happy voice, she always made sure he was happy and read him bedtime stories, she was like his favorite part of the day.

After he left his mom turned to his dad and frowned, he looked up to her, "what's the problem?". She was reluctant to say anything but managed to say, "you are the problem, Peter looks up to you and you keep giving him less attention, is it because you are not his real dad?". Peter's dad died not long after he was born, he was overjoyed of the news that it was a boy and was over speeding on the road and lost control and rammed into a trailer, he died at the spot. Peter's step-dad wasn't too happy about the statement his mom made and he pushed her to the ground, "Don't tempt me Grace, I really don't like being pushed to the wall". At the moment Peter was just coming from the stairs trying to tuck in his cloths, his mom was already at the car waiting, before leaving he turned and waved, "bye, see you when I come back". His step-dad turned and frowned at him and said in a more sarcastic manner, "I don't feel the same". The words made him feel uneasy but he managed to pull through and smiled as soon as he saw his mom approaching. She asked him what was the problem but he simply refused to say anything instead he showed off a smile and held his mom hands and walked to the car, his mom was mesmerized and said to him, "are you forgetting anything" and he replied, "No, I am well prepared".

The sound of the engine stopping was what drew Peter's attention to the signboard, "No Parking". The car immediately stops and Peter who was already looking forward to his new school gives a frown, "what happened to the car?". His mom looks in disappointment, "oh, not this again I thought I already fixed it. And I don't see any cars passing, I think it's best if you walk to school and I could just fix the car and pick you up after school" she says as she swings open the bonnet, "okay bye mom, thanks for the headstart" he waves and dashes into the road. "be carefu..." she let's her statement trail off.

Meanwhile, Peter was not to far from his school, "only just a few more steps and am there I have to make my first day of school worthwhile" he said to himself as he picks up the pace. Beacon High one of the most popular schools around known for its outstanding students, they always come out first in all competitions, the school building as some say can be described as a work of art. "Wow, what a view" he said as he approached the school, it was well maintained, the school was a lot bigger inside than outside. He was staring at the building without taking notice of a big fat blonde boy who was beside him and collided into him. "Tf you did that for" the blonde fat boy said after falling into a fountain, "sorry, I didn't see you there". "Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" everyone shouted, it was a little funny for Peter but he only smiled. "You think this is funny" the blonde said angrily "N-no no I don't" he kept on nodding. "Now I have to go change all because of you, am gonna make sure your life is a living hell in this school" the blonde knocked Peter to the ground and was about punching him before the sharp sound of the microphone pierced through the hall, "All students are to return to their classes at once if caught outside without permission you will be sent to detention". Everyone rushed to their various classes and the blonde growled and turned to leave, "My name is Biff remember that cause I will be your tormentor". Peter opened his mouth but words wouldn't come out and before he knew it the hall was empty only a girl who was offloading her books to her locker was left, he didn't know where his class was so he walked towards the girl. On seeing her upfront she had real nice dimples and a warm smile, "Ehmm... Do you know where Geography class holds am new here so am really confused" she smiles, "i see that, so you made Biff your new friend I presume" he shrugs, "it's just a misunderstanding I didn't mean to bump into him". She starts walking and he follows, "So please do you know where Geography class is?" she stops and turn around to look at him, "don't fright little kitten we are going there, I do offer geography" he breaths a sigh of relief.

They get to a door with drawing of maps which is labeled 'Geography' she opens the door and enters and he follows, the teacher stops him, "Do you mind introducing yourself to the rest of the class" he shrugs, "Not really, my name is Peter Smith I am a new student here and that is all I have to say for now" the teacher gestures to the whole class and they begin to clap, "Oh how wonderful, my name is also Peter and I am your Geography teacher just take a seat at the front would you?". As soon as the bell rings Mr. Peter picks up his bag and leaves the class meanwhile the whole class is already at sleep while others are close to sleeping, Peter gets up and starts packing his books and then walk through the hall and saw his mom waiting in the car, he was overjoyed to see the car working so he immediately rushed in and after greetings they headed home.

Peter gets back home and finds his mom sitting at the dining room table, wringing her hands, "what happened today?" she asks, the familiar crease of worry forming in her face, "was it good or bad?".

"Hello to you, too," he says setting down his backpack and grabbing and Apple from the fruit bowl, "it was really bad, I bumped into a boy named biff by mistake and he was so angry and he wanted to fight me..." he says with pace, "I can see it was memorable" he Frowns, "did you even hear a word i said?". His mom stands up from her seat and slowly approaches him, "I did and I know it's hard but don't let anyone push you to the ground, am not saying you should pick a fight but try and stand tall in most situations" she says as she leaves the dining room. He just stood there surprised by the words of his mother. He walked up to his room and shut the door, he was about stripping off his clothes when he heard a knock on the door, "Peter, I forgot to tell you I got a present for you. Can I come in?" he rushes to the door and opens it, "you may". She giggles as she brings in a big gift, "wow this is for me?" he says with a smile on his face, "yeah I got it for your birthday, cause I won't be around next week to celebrate with you, am going on a business trip". He quickly rushes to open the rapped gift, he screamed, "Xbox!!! Mom how did you know I wanted this?" she smirks, "I saw it on your wanted list, am going out now don't wait up and don't play it too much, get outside and make friends" he groans, "I know mom-m,I'll try". She leaves the room and shuts the door behind her, "So cool, I got an Xbox!!! You are gonna be my new friend". He arranges the game console and immediately went out to a nearby game shop to buy games. On returning, he notices his step dad's arrival and rushes to greet him. He was shocked at the sight he saw, an average height blonde lady ravaging his step-dad's lips, "Dad?!!" she stops and turn around to face him, "who's this Robert ?" he looks forward, "just a foolish little bastard no need to freak out let's go upstairs shall we? " she smiles and continues ravaging his lip as he takes her up the stairs. Peter stood there shocked like a still rock, he couldn't move his limbs, tears rolled down his eyes and he fell to his knees crying and screaming. Not too long after he heard footsteps coming down from the staircase, it was his step-dad he reeked of alcohol and when he came down he rushed forward and grabbed Peter, "I don't wanna hear a single fucking noise from that asshole you call a mouth!!!" he was strangling him but managed to release his grip and staggered back up the stairs. It was the first time he had ever witnessed something as bizarre as this, he didn't know what to do he was afraid of crying not wanting his dad to come down and give him a beating so he stood outside on his own waiting.

He saw his mom coming and immediately rushed to hug her he didn't want to tell her what happened he tried avoiding it but then, his dad and the lady walking towards the house to where his car was parked. He thought his mom will bring hell loose but she just watched him pass and said nothing. He was really shocked he thought he was in a dream he kept looking at her as they entered the house not wanting to say anything yet, she looked at him and saw the fiery in his eyes, she smiled and robbed his head, "I knew about it just didn't want to stir up trouble or anything just filed for a divorce I know it's a lot to take in, right now am looking for an apartment where the two of us can stay and you can bring your Xbox too" she said. This was really hard for him he heard rumors at school of how parents divorce and there children end up in suicide or turn out murderers, he kept on imagining different scenarios in which he might turn out for the worse after the divorce. The news came as a shock to him he stood up and walked to his room, his mom kept calling but his mind was so far away that he nearly tripped on the stairs. He got to his room later on his bed full of tears he couldn't imagine how quick his life changes at that moment he wanted it all to be a dream "a bad dream of course I'll just sleep and wake up in the real world, ha-ha silly me" he wasn't really sure of what he said but it was really assuring to him so he cried himself to sleep.
