Waking up in a world that is obsessed with money, fame, and lust. I realized that those three things are most desired among people of this age. But while thinking about money, fame, and lust I also desire those same things in my life. After wandering around my thoughts I finally got out of bed and started getting ready for my first day of school. My life has been weird growing up. My Mom died when I was 5 and my dad is working out of the country all the time so I live alone in a nice apartment in San Francisco by myself. Since I was living by myself I grew to learn to be more independent and to cook for myself and clean after myself.

After cooking I made myself a nice breakfast with 2 eggs and some bacon while eating. I started to realize it was going to be my first day of high school.

I quickly got changed with the new outfit that I chose last night before bed because I think the first day of school is important and that I need to dress up. I finally got changed and got my new backpack. And started heading off to school. I have to start to take a 15-minute subway to my high school. While riding the Subway with my headphones in, a person taps my shoulder and says “ Hey Jason how have you been” and I was startled but it was one of my friends last year. I said “ Morning blake I didn't know you would take the same route as me, “ Blake said “ Yea what coincidence I guess we will see each other in the morning then Jason “ Yea I guess we will then huh” While we talk on the loud train we finally got off and started walking and saw a homeless 13-year-old boy on the sidewalk wondering around. I asked Blake `` Should we help him or something “ Blake said “ Dude we need to go before where late “ “Fine okay let's go before we're late” While walking I felt bad for not helping that kid and being more appreciative of my life and what I have right now like a nice apartment to live in and to always have money to buy everything that I wanted. While walking I asked “ Blake do you know when class starts “ Blake said yea it starts at 9:00 today “ I checked my watch it only 8:30 I'm going to the gas station to buy something really quick “ Blake said whatever just don't be late to class” “ Yeah Yeah” I quickly ran to the gas station to buy myself an energy drink and I also brought a sandwich and water. I quickly cashed out and ran back to the homeless boy. I said “ Hey are you hungry “ he nodded. “Here a sandwich and some water. I got here to see you later “ I quickly ran off to school I said to myself, oh shit I might be late I gotta go.

I finally took a breath after I ran to the school’s gate. I checked my watch and it was 8:50 I thought I was going to be late. I looked around and realized this school was huge. I'm going to have a hard time finding my homeroom. I went to my phone to the school’s app. Oh, this is neet the school app has a GPS to everywhere let follow the GPS, and hopefully, I don’t get lost. While following the GPS I saw how big the school was. It had a lot of things like an indoor swimming pool, a huge cafeteria, a three-story library, and over 200 clubs with their own clubrooms. While being amazed by the school I realized that I was going to be late but luckily I founded my classroom. I walked in and saw that everything was brand new and modern while looking around I saw one of my childhood friends Kimberly I went over there and said “Hey Kimberly I guess we are going to be in the same class this year “ Ohh hey Jason how have you been I see that you got your expensive outfit on” Kimberly said while talking to her I noticed something different thinking in my head did Kimberly dye her hair blonde over the summer I said, “ Yea I got this new outfit it’s not that fancy did you dye your hair over the summer.” Kimberly said “ Ohh so you're not that dense to realize that I have dyed my hair. I’m plus what are you talking about not expensive boy you are wearing a full designer from head to toe probably a $2000 outfit” Whatever you say Kimberly I like to wear whatever I like so don’t judge. Whatever I’m going to take a seat now I went to take a seat in the back of the classroom next to a window. The teacher walks in “Hello class I am your homeroom teacher Ms.Hanna and I also teach world history too I hope we will get along this year with a classroom of 20 people in it I am going to call role now please say hear when I call your name, please.”While Ms.Hanna is calling role I looked around and realized there are only 6 boys and 14 girls in the classroom thinking why are there so few boys in the class. Ms.Hanna called my name “Is Jason Chan here” I quickly said “Here” I thought in my head hopefully might high school life would be fun and carefree but after roll call, Ms.Hanna started to explain the rules and how our school is the best in California and told us that only 2 years ago did the school started letting boys join that’s why there aren’t many boys. The lunch bell finally rang and a couple of girls came up to me asking if I would like to join them. In my head, I was kinda freaking out that a couple of cute girls are asking me to eat with them while looking around I saw a boy over there and he looked quite lonely over there and I asked “ Hey do you mind if we ask the boy over there if he wants to join us'' one of the girls said “Eww no he looks so poor like look at his clothes and his backpack he obviously looks poor “ While listening to them talk bad about a person they don't know I said, “ Sorry ladies let take a rain check maybe another day.” The girls said “ Awww whatever let's go girls” I got up and went to the boy that was sitting by himself.

I went to the boy that was sitting alone and said “Hey wanna go get lunch with me.”The boy looked confused with his long bangs covering his eyes the boy said quietly “oh Are you talking to me sorry I didn't bring any money today and I’m not hungry” The boy stomach started growling. I said “ What about I treat you to lunch if you accompany me I want to check out the cafeteria ” The boy quietly said “ ok I will go with you “ While we were walking to the cafeteria I realized that his shoes are really beat up and the sole are about to come off and his clothes are all very worn out and old. I said “This school really surprised me. I didn't expect the school to be this big. I'm glad that this school gives us a long lunch so that we don’t rush.``The boy kept quiet. I was thinking that it was awkward that I don't know what to talk about. I guess I will introduce myself then “So I’mJason what your name man.“ The poor boy spoke softly and quietly “um my name is luke'' I was wondering why he is so quiet but it would be rude of me to ask him so I just said.“Nice to meet you man, let's get in line, don't worry about what you get. It will be on me. I heard the food in the school is great.” Luke said quietly “ok” we got in line to get food. I was amazed at what they had here. I said “Wow this place is cool. They have all types of food. To Asian to Italian food I can't wait to eat.” Luke said, “Yea it's surprising how much food is here.”We finally got up to the ordering station and I said “Umm can I get a bowl of Miso Ramen with pork cullet and an Ice coffee please Luke come on and order.“ Luke quietly said “ I will take Cheeseburger with fries and a soda please,” the lunch lady said “ your order will be $30 how will you pay “ “I will pay with card,” the lady said “okay your order will be ready in 5 minutes” We started to walk over to get the food and I looked a luke he was looking at the ground most of the time with a sad face. I am wondering if he has some issues at home. I wanted to ask but I don't think he will answer me since we just met. I feel bad for him. It looks like he has been through some rough times. “Luke I think our food is ready let’s go, “ Luke said “ok” we went on to get our food and tried to find a seat the cafeteria is packed “luke let’s go over there I thinking I found a table,” Luke said “okay” We finally sat down and started to eat Luke took a bite of his food. And then he started to cry “hey luke are you alright why are you crying?” Luke started talking while wiping off his tears” I’m sorry Jason I just haven't had a good meal like this in a while since my dad passed away a couple years ago. Nobody treated me like this, not even my own guardians.” I was feeling bad for him wondering what happened to him. He definitely went through a lot these couple of years. I started to ask him “Hey it's alright you want to talk about it? You don't have to if you don't want to but if you want a person to talk to you can always come to me.” Luke started to shed more tears and Luke started to talk.
