The Unusual Friendship...

Bill and Jackson have been Best friends for over 10 years. They do everything together such as sports, school work. They would walk to school and back, they would fight with each other, they do everything like best friends would do Bill, on the other hand, he's not really good at school. He's more of a troublemaker since the start of the year but Jackson's more focused and he wants his grades to pass NCEA level 2. 

 But now since they are getting older their maturity goes you know they don't think about what they do most times. Bill always arrives late to class and to walk with Jackson so it makes him late also Jacksons getting annoyed over it since he's always being late to school and to class everyone calls Jackson the rich boy since he's always wearing expensive things and coming to school with expensive cars. 

 But for some reason Jackson never really wanted Bill to come over to his place because he knew what he had done in the past and knew that he had gotten in trouble recently so he didn't want to risk it. It’s Monday morning 10:25 they are in class together and Bill is non stop asking to come over to Jackson's place after school but Jacksons getting fed up with him so he storms out of the room but Bill knew Jackson would say no so Bill decided to make up a reason to tell the class why he left. 

After school one of his classmates asked him if he really peed himself Jackson was so confused he didn't know what the guy was talking about but the guy mentioned Bills name so now Jackson is really mad he could literally kill someone he's that mad so he leaves it to the next morning tries to find Bill but couldn't find him he's asking everyone ¨Hey where's Bill, tell Bill I'm looking for him¨ The words he said to people was he's even madder at Bill because it's all over social media. 

He finally sees Bill from 50 minutes of walking around searching classrooms, looking behind the classrooms He sees Him at the back of the field talking to people he Goes up to Bill and grabs him but he didn't want to spill the tea out but first he has a quick decent conversation with him and then he rips put the big boy question He asks him politely ¨Did you make up a false rumor about me¨ Bill responded ¨Um no I didn't what do you mean¨ in A weird way like he knew Jackson knows what he has done But Jackson knew he was lying so he made A scene and exposed Bills darkest most embarrassing secrets and Quietly tells Bill ¨now where even¨ from that day Bill disliked Jackson, Jackson has gotten his grades up and even gotten a scholarship to play for rugby under 17s  meanwhile Bill dropped out after that year.
