Chapter 1
What could life be without a father?
The book is about two teenagers who pursue careers. The two boys had goals; Jarvis Johnson wanted to be in the NCAA (National Collegiate Athlete Association) for basketball, on ESPN. His younger brother, Roni Johnson wants a career as a comedian because he loves to make people laugh.
"Mom, where's my white beater shirt?" said seventeen year old Jarvis, who was in a hurry for school.
"It's in the cabinet, your brother left it there," said his mom, Rosa.
"Why would he...Roni!"
But Jarvis was not amused by his brother putting his white beater shirt in the cabinet.
"Class clown, eh?"
As they left, Jarvis and Roni kissed their mom, said their goodbyes and left.
"Another day, another utility bill on my mind, bless me Lord that I find a job soon."
At Sarah High School, Jarvis Johnson was recomended from the football team, to the basketball team.
"What did you say?" asked Jarvis.
"I'm going to class," said Chantal.
Chantal went to class, Jarvis was late for class. They were both late.
"Well, well, well Mr. Johnson and Miss. Jones why you late and don't give me any crap about how you got stopped by the assistant principal because I just talked to him," said Mr. Stumble.
"So I'll see you after school, take your seats."
Jarvis found it amusing but not Chantal.
"Jarvis, step in the hall."
"But I'm on the football team."
"Too bad, lateness equals consequence."
"You don't get it, do you?" asked Mr. Stumble.
"Do you?!" laughed Jarvis.
At dinner, Jarvis forgot about football for the day, and his mom, Roni kept the conversation going about school.
"Nothing much, but except making the football team today," said Jarvis.
"Where's Roni?"
Jarvis went to take his plate away to the sink in the kitchen.
