I got up and grab my clothes and head towards the bathroom. I got dress and look in the mirror. I am a dragon with red scale and eight inch horns. I have blue eyes, which are slanted, and a tail that measure about \u0026nbsp;two feet.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nI then went to the front door and start heading towards school. Before I left, I notice that my parents are still here and that they are pact as if they were going on a vacation.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nI started walking to school and just thought about random things that don't make since to anybody but my.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nWhen I got to school, I wanted it to be over with already. It was the last day before spring break and all the students were going crazy.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nWhen the final school bell ringed everybody was going crazy and stared going home to start their vacation. When I got home, I went to my room and I notice a note on my door.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nDrake-\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nWe forgot to tell you that we will be gone for a business meeting. We wiil call you to make sure you're okay.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nYour parents.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nI grab the note and tore it up. I knew that my parents didn't care about me. I drop my back bag on the floor and headed to my parents room. I notice that there was a safe. As I got near the safe I saw a note. It said, \"Drake college fund.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nI was shock, \" Maybe they do care about me.\" \u0026nbsp;I open the safe and all I saw was a note that said, \" Owe $50, $ 100, $ 1,000, $ 5,000, $50,000.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\" And I almost thought they care about me,\" I said as I put the note backing the safe.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nI head back to my room and look at the clock. It displayed 3:05 P.M., \" Guess I can go to work now, got nothing better to do.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\" Your early for once,\" my boss said. He is a blue dragon with ten inch horns and green eyes.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\" I had to walk here, my parents are out of town.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\" You have the whole house to yourself then?\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\" For the rest of the week.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\" How will you get home, do you have a ride?\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\" No, I will just walk home.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\" At 9:30 P.M., are you crazy. \u0026nbsp;Let me take you, you house is on the way to my house anyways.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\" Thank you, oh by the way, what is you name? You never told me.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\" You can call me Carlos.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nFor the first time in my life, I can say I have a friend. Carlos may be my boss but he not any older then me. We are both worked at a liquor store and his parents owe the shop so his the boss by default.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nAfter work, Carlos and I went to his car and he stared driving home.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\" Man I hate the new law where you have to have training to fly. We are dragons we know how to fly,\" I said trying to start a conversation.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\" I think that the dumbest law they made. It like making walking illegal for new born children.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\" Well what are we going to do? We are just do dragon, we cant change the law.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nCarlos then drove into the driveway at my house. Before I got out Carlos ask, \" Do you want to spend the night at my house, it better then staying home alone.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\" Uh, sure. Just let me get some things first.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nI ran inside and grab some clothes and my allergies medicine. When I got back inside the car I ask, \" Where do you live?\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\" Right there,\" Carlos said and pointed with his claw.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nI was speechless. It was the house I wanted to live in when I grew up. It was a three story building and a pool in the back yard. The colors of the house is red with white columns and a huge front yard. \u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nCarlos must of saw how I reacted because he patted my back and explained, \"That my house or should I say mansion. It beautiful isn't it. I can stay in there all day but we are moving soon. Trying to get a smaller house.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\" I've always wanted to go in that house, it the very house that \u0026nbsp;I want to live in when I grow up.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\" Really? How 'bout you spend the week with my family, it will be fun.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\" I'll be happy too.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nWhen I got inside I saw Carlos parents. His father is a yellow dragon with blues eyes like mine, except his were darker, and his mother is a green dragon with blue scales on her stomach . I have never seen a dragon like that before so I couldn't help but ask. All she did was laugh and said she from Spain.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\" What may I can you while I'm here?\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\" Mr. and Mrs. Marquez.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\" Well thank you for letting me stay here at your house again.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\" No problem, we don't have to many guest over.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\" I understand completely.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nCarlos then leads me to the guess room where I stayed.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\" Here you go Drake, enjoy your room. If you need anything I'll \u0026nbsp;be next door.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\" Okay, goodnight Carlos.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\" Goodnight Drake.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nOnce Carlos left the room, I grab my phone and saw I had no calls or messages. My parents didn't even call or left me a message like they said they would. I then walked over to the bed and crawled into a ball and started crying.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nCarlos was next door getting ready for bed when he heard crying from my room. Worried \u0026nbsp;he started walking back to my room and see my crying on the bed. He walked over and placed his hand on my shoulder.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\" Drake, what wrong?\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\" My parents didn't called me like they said they would. Do you know that I'm adopted.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\" Your adopted! I would have never guess. As for you parents they probably do care about you, you just don't notice it.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\" So that way they are planning to send my back to the...\" I stop because I suddenly remember \u0026nbsp;the memories of the past. I spend three years of my life as a nobody.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\" I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bring back bad memories. Hey I just thought of a good nickname for you.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\" What is it,\" I ask felling a little bit better knowing Carlos will look after me.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\" Crystal because to the rich you are unwanted but to other you are wroth more then all of the money in the world.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nI felt a lot better after Carlos help me though this tough time. I likes the nickname he gave me, and the way he backed it up.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\" Thank you Carlos, I have a feeling we will be the best of friends forever.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\" Anytime Crystal, Anytime.\"\n  \n  \n\n","series":{"name":"Suicide Series # 1","previous":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/143506-suicide-prologue.json","next":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/143790-chapter-2-the-downfall.json"}}
