Author's Notes: I'd like to thank the volunteer editors, jimbean485, Kirk2004, stewarj427l, and ill_eat_wince for their editing help with this story. Although I didn't use all their editing tips, I appreciate all of you for using your valuable time to help me tell this story.
To the readers especially the ones who have expressed enjoyment in reading my words, thank you. I'm just happy I have at least one fan, maybe more, of my work. Unfortunately, for anyone just looking for a lot of sex scenes run together, this part will disappoint you. I did a great deal of character development in this part that I feel is very necessary to the whole.

Lights are out at my old man's place, I'm not surprised. He probably fell in a bottle watching porn or some shit. Motherfucker broke my arm and kicked me out. Fuck him. He's an asshole, not worth my time. I finished my cigarette and walked away from Kelly's steps.
I borrowed money from his shop to buy Kelly that stupid CD player. I would have paid it back eventually. But I had to replace that damn walkman, though. I didn't even mean to break it. She just freaked me out, you know. I'd open my mouth and try and say somethin' nice and I couldn't. All that came out was dumb shit and calling her names. Then she said all that shit about my dick and I just lost it. I'm not proud of what she made me do. So, I figured I'd make up for it.
It's Kelly's fault really; if she'd just agreed to go out with my boy, Jordan Scarlotti when he asked her out, nothin' bad woulda happened. But Jordan said she was a 'nigger bitch' who thought she was too good for him. With Jordan being black, I had his back. He called me 'honky' and 'cracker' and 'the man' that's just how we rolled.
Jordan's dad, Dr. Scarlotti, owned a vintage Mustang, custom indigo blue paint job and it was flawless. He brung his car around my old man's shop a lot cuz even though my dad told him not to, he drove it every day. That's how I met Jordan, he'd always tag along. Even back then I was helpin' out my dad cuz he couldn't afford to keep an extra mechanic on staff when I could do the work for free.
My dad used to talk about Dr. Scarlotti when he wasn't there. "Stupid nigger, always gettin' uppity when they get themself some fancy ed-u-ma-cation. But thank God, for the jungle monkeys that don't know shit about cars." Then he would laugh.
Jordan was always a 'love them and leave them' type before Kelly. He got more action than a rock star, at least that's what he told me. But then he went all nuts about Kelly. It became Kelly this, and Kelly that. He was driving me nuts with Kelly talk. What Jordan though was so special about the bitch, I didn't see it. Okay, maybe she had a smokin' body and a pretty face but she was way too smart for her own good.
Since I got left behind a few times cuz I don't read so good, I'd been driving for a year by the time Kelly started at our school. Jordan dragged me to the diner downtown where Kelly's mom worked. We went every day after school for months.
James Dawson ran the place. You could see he had a thing for Kelly's mom. I mean her mom was always nice and everythin'. She smelled like Kelly, guess they used the same flowery shampoo or somethin'. Her mom was real easy on the eyes too. She even told Jordan he should ask Kelly out once. So maybe it was her mom's fault.
I remember this one time her mom was talking to Dawson. Well she was somethin' and that old horny guy was just eating up whatever she was servin'.
She walked up to the counter, leaned over it, grabbed a cherry from the sundae fruits, popped it in her mouth, stem and all, then like five seconds later remove the stem all tied in a tight ass knot. Hottest shit I'd ever seen a chick do outside a porn flick.
"Kelly's failing her history class," Kelly's mom said, rolling that cherry stem between her thumb and forefinger. She pitched it on the counter, and then grabbed a new cherry while Dawson kept swallowing like he was thirsty.
He cleared his throat and asked, "Some boy sniffing around her?"
Kelly's mom shook her head 'no'.
"She can't handle her class load and all the sports?"
Again her mom shook her head 'no'.
"Well what's the problem Carol, I know it's not drugs or something?"
Carol finished her second cherry and did that thing with the stem again and then she said, "Just Kelly thinking again. My baby worries too much. She got it in her head that even though Mr. Harrison said that pop culture would be a part of the current events assignments, we didn't need a television.
"Mr. Harrison felt bad about having to fail Kelly. When he called me to tell me she failed the first two assignments, he apologized. He said that it was usually the student's favorite part of the class. He assigned them an hour of television to watch every night. Kelly used the TV guidebook instead of just asking me to buy her a television." She laughed and popped another cherry in her mouth.
"That girl of yours," Dawson said shaking his head. "Why didn't she just go over to a friend's house instead?" he asked.
"Well you know Kelly, her friends are books and books. I thought with her playing sports and all she'd start being more social. Like normal kids her age, dating and such. But no, Mr. Taylor told her eons ago that she could go to Harvard, Yale, or even MIT, if she worked at it. That meant I had to get her into a better high school where they offer AP courses.
"She knows how hard I worked to buy the house, and with sports all being pay-to-play. She's trying to get any scholarship available. Maybe I would have come out better putting her in private school, I don't know."
"I don't think so. It's the best high school in the area. They boast the highest percentage of graduates. Most of the grads go on to top rated universities, too," Dawson said. "You did the right thing, Carol."
"I hope so. Anyway, she thinks I can't come up with the money. I did, well almost. I saw a nice one at Mike's pawnshop. I'll get the little one though. I can afford it and that's all she needs." She smiled and popped another stem out of her mouth.
Dawson cleared his throat again. "Oh I forgot. I've been holding some tips for you. About a hundred dollars worth or so, let me just get that for you after work."
Kelly's mom popped her hip out to the side and then cocked one eyebrow up and said, "Well if you think I have some extra money coming that's real nice of you, Mr. Dawson." She winked and walked away.
