This story is fictional.
I walked swiftly out of the house, slamming the door behind me. How could
he make me do this? It was stupid! My footsteps slapped against the
pavement angrily as I walked to an unknown destination. I just wanted to
get away from the house, away from him.
So I guess I should tell you about myself? Well, my name is Chris
Mariott. I'm 16 years old, about 6'4 and about average weight. I'm in
grade 11, I play baseball and hockey. I'm not amazing at the sports I
play, but they kept me in shape. I'm not the smartest either, but I am by
no means stupid. I'm not the most popular, but I have a large group of
friends. So overall, I guess you could call me average. Except for one
thing...which you will hear about later.
Anyway, I bet you're wondering why I was so angry. My dad just told me to
get a job! Now, I know what your thinking: "Chris is overeacting!" And
I would agree with you completely if it weren't for a past incident.
Okay, so I already had a job before. I was working at Macdonalds (I know,
how stereotypical). Everything was going great. I learned everything
quickly, I got paid every two weeks, and my fellow employees were so
nice! So nice, actually. The manager, Katie, was usually working when I
was so we knew each other. Well, one day my dad was picking me up from
work and Katie talked to him for a few minutes. That night, my dad left
to 'go for a drive' that night. He got back late and my mom was already
in bed. I had gone back to Macdonalds with some friends while my dad was
gone. I knew Katie was working and I wanted to book some days off. I got
there, and Sandra (fellow employee) told me Katie had left...with my dad!
So, of course, my dad slept with her, but when he got home he told me how
bad he felt and said he would break it off with her. I was relieved. But,
as a result, Katie fired me, blaming me for my dad's actions! So now,
hopefully you understand why it is so infuriating when he tells me to get
a job, I had one, if only he hadn't fucked and dumped the manager!
