Rabaans Rough Run

Intensity is here. Detroit Pistons 278 Sacremento Kings 280 Game seven of the National Basketball Association(NBA) Finals. Conor Berger passes me the ball.  Fear was in the air at Cobo Center. 2 seconds left. I sprint to halfcourt 1 second, I shoot. AAHHHHHHHHHHH, goes the backboard and... It's in.
                 I was just walking home from the bus stop as I came into reality. My name is Rabaan Whitfield. life is terrible. Life is horrible. I might as well run away. I am very dark skined, have short hair and hazel eyes.I am very weak and 4'10". Life is only aL waste of time. I shouldn't kill myself because I don't think god is real.  I will just sleep forever and time will pass by just like before I was born.
            Life is not good for anything. Everybody says, Life is wonderful. I don't know how. In 3rd grade was when I realized, I was the only person with this problem. I thought that for sure god hated me. So I hate him too.
                                      I walked slow purposely. The End of the First ¼ of the school year. The brisk November winds striking at my face. Brown, Orange, and Red were all beautifully on the trees. Leaves of all colors laying on the ground just waiting to be raked or moved into a jumping pile. I wonnered if it would be better to be a leaf in a jumping pile than me. The gray hard cement and my Blue and White Nike sneakers made a clatter as I walked.
                                I tried to avoid my family. They’re SO annoying. Every day when I walk in the house I hear, “Give it back” or “ Stop hitting me” or the most famous “ Mind your own business” or the most convincing “ Let me do my HOMEwork”.
                                       As I turned onto the the front yard of my white with green window outlined house. I became extremely scared. Hands shaking vigourisly as I slowly turned the doornob. I brought up my little strength and opened the door quickly.
                  “Stop Fighting” I yelled immediately No reply came, Or a sound. Thoughts raced through my mind like; A burgular came in didn’t he. Then he took Bonita and Savvana, (my 2 sisters). Then he shot my dad. I ran upstairs on the ugly brown staircase.
        Right when I reached the top I came to relief. Bonita and Savanna are at Girl Scouts.
My dad is just taking a nap because tonight is poker night. He goes with his friends to someones house and plays cards until  2:00 am.
“ Whew” I sighed with relief “Man, that was close. Man for a second I thought they were kidnapped.” I said.,

                 I decided to skip snack and do my homework real quick. All I had was one just one math problem. I looked in my binder and poof. My Math Journal (MJ) wasn’t there. “Wha” I screamed loudly as my eyes grew big, Brows clinched, and my mouth stuck open. “Where did it, Oooooooooooooh.”
                I was in a hurry. 4:09 was on the clock. I had 6 minutes to get the the bus on the other side of the hall. I said “I have only digital homework.” I put on my coat and walked fast to the other side of the the school.” As I came back to present time i said,
       “Ooh, I knew I was forgetting something.” I walked into the kitchen with a brown, golden table on 1 side. The black stove on the other side. A double oven on the back wall. A black granite island in the middle where he eats. I dashed to the snack cabinet. Opened it quickly and fast with excitiment to eat. There was a kroger brand Toaster Pastry. I snacted the pastry and quickly put it in the Toaster Oven. Looked for the black WOW! remote. It was on the island. I snatched it and turned on the TV.
                            “Snow is expected to come on Monday.” The TV blurted out. I quickly punched in the number 88. Avatar was on. “Ding” Came from the toaster oven. My stoumach was more than ready to have it be filled. I sprinted over to the oven and opened it. I then put the toaster pastry on a plate. I ate it quickly. “Man that filled the spot”. I declared.
                                 I thought what to do, what to do. 'Let's read" I replied to myself  I ran upstairs, jumped in bed and read.After an hour of reading, My dad woke up.
             "Hello Son" My dad said in his loud,deep voice.
                   "Hi Dad" I replied with a little bit of scare in my voice. "Hi-hi-hi" breath " How was your nap."
                       "It was great. Im ready to win some green". He said" What you want for dinner"
                        "A ham and cheese sounds good".]
                         "Alright, 2 ham and cheeses comin' up."
 he said as he walked downstairs into the kitchen20 minutes  later
"Rabaan, time for dinner." he said

I marched downstairs as my stomach was ready to have more food. The steaming goodness was at my seat as I walked there. I sat down picked it up and stuffed it all in my mouth.
    I decided to take my shower and rest for the rest of the day.  I took off my sweats and t-shirt. Now I was bare naked in the bathroom. Next I turned on
the water, I only turned on hot when,
"AHHHHHHHHHH" came an ear piercing scream
from my dad's room.
I quickly knew that my dad never screamed like that.

                  I quickly scrambled my clothes on and ran up stairs. Then as I turned the corner,I saw my dad, in a towel, just, standing there. Breathing heavily. "What's wrong?
dad? Are you okay?" I ask

"Yeah, I'm fine. The water was just crazy cold. I was just taking my shower, when suddenly boom. My water went cold." My dad replied”
                      I immeaditly felt guilt and happiness as I knew what would come next. Oh, sorry. I had just turned on the hot water when I heard you scream."I said
                   “Well you better be sorry” My dad yelled “Go to your room!”
 I then ran downstairs to again enjoy the silence and not having to take shower. My sisters told dad that I love showers. Really they disgust me. All of this I am thinking about while I change. I get ready to go to bed.
                   I start to sleep when; my nose sends me and alert. “The house is on fire!” I scream. I got scared out of my mind. How could a fire start in my house. My dad is already outside when I jump out the window. Blazes of fire, and heat blister me as I jump to safety. I felt realeved and scared because my HOUSE IS BURNING DOWN! Someone from our neighborhood must of called the fire department because they came just in time to have a diving catch in midair.
             “Here you go son. Now let’s beat this fire.” They make me go to a safe distance. They fire department says that they found a bomb partical in the rubble.
                     Only one thing I would think be possible. My mom is a spy. My dad got divorced because he found out and didn’t like spies. This is how he found out.
                   My mom said she worked for Ford. He never exactly knew what she did. So, one day she went off on a business trip. Then, he went on to the plant where she worked called Ford website. They didn’t say anything about a mission trip. That’s where it started. Then by the time my mom got back, my dad bought a pocket gun. She came in the garage, “Honey I’m home.” She yelled My dad jumped from a hiding place and held her hostage with a gun. He told her about what she had learned then with a gun held to my moms head, she broke out of the hostage and punched my dad in the stomauch. Her badge went flying and it hit his stomauch on his way falling down. He picked it up and saw it. My mom loved him dearly and left with revenge on the mind. This was meant for my dad to die. Instead I almost died.
             With no other choice but h nu/ omelessness, I had to live with my Mom. My mom was a double sided spy who likes to kill. She is almost never home which means I can’t go to school because since my dad was outside when the house was on fire, he is in jail for attempting murder. My sisters went to live with me too.

          All I had to do was stand them. That’s almost not possible. They are always fighting with each other, and Mom.
       Also my mom is a HUGE James Bond fan. She got a complete blu-ray set of Bonds. All 22 not including the newest one Skyfall. "Rabaan, do you want to watch a Bond movie. I've always been interested in Bonds. So I thought why not.
"Yes! I replied.I sprinted downstairs. I plopped on the couch.
"This is the first movie ever. It was made in 1962. It's called Dr.No."

"Really? The first ever movie was only in 1962. And a Bond movie. Wow."
"No. The first Bond."
" Also Dr.No? It seems sort of childesh." I questioned the name chose of the bonds.
"Yeah. The movie isn't childesh I can promish you that.". She said.
I got comfy and watched the movie.
After the movie ended I said "Wow, that was a lot better than I thought it would be."
"Yeah, It's good. It's not the best."

"Can't wait to see the best." At that moment I realized that my mom and I are not that different. We both like action, sports, and marvel.  I realized that if mom and I lost our hate by bond, the girls might too. By watching the best. My mom said goldfinger is the best movie. I told them we are going to watch a good movie. They plopped down with my mom and I turned it on.  
They watched GoldFinger. Both Savanna and Bonita loved it.
As the credits started on GoldFinger, They couldn't believe how good it was. They didn't say anything just it was on their faces. immeadtly Bonita stood up. Walked over to Saavanna. "Savanna, I am so sorry for being a mean sister. Sisters are supposed to be friends. I was just an enemy." Bonita said
"No, I was the one being mean. I was just being selfish and annoying you. I don't have anything against you, it is just..." At that moment Savanna began to have tears. " I was being so mean. Oh please forgive me." Savanna started crying
"It's okay" Bonita started crying too. Then, at that moment. I just became speechless. They hugged. Actually hugged. At that moment God entered me. I heard, "Rabaan, I God the father, son, and holy spirit have entered you. Go and spread the good news". He still knew that God was looking over him and all was well.
