SCENE-1<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
WEST PHILLY
"The Honor Roll Academy is a facility created for guys like Junior who..., --through no fault of their own, found themselves dealt a bad hand of cards in the game of life...!" said the school's director: Ian Thomas, as he walked Julio Espidedo [founder of Fathers Against Drugs (FAD)] and 17yr old Junior [Jerome Taylor Jr.] along the corridors, showing them the layout of the place.
"We take these boys in off the streets BEFORE they get so caught up in the trappings of the underworld that they can't get out...! We teach them the value of education, and WORKING for not just a paycheck, but for benefits, for healthcare, for their retirement! Many of these kids didn't THINK they will live long enough to retire!
"What about YOU, Junior..." asked the director, looking over at the youngster as they passed classrooms with students inside [actually learning lessons]! "...do YOU think you'll live to see 40 or 50...?"
"Never thought about it..." admitted Junior.
"See..." said Thomas, turning his attention back to Julio as they walked. "...many of these kids live only in the NOW, they don't consider where they'll be in 10, 20, --30 years...! THAT'S what WE try to make them do...! WE make them make decisions that would impact the REST of their lives, not just today! They need to know the decisions they make today will impact their future down the line..., as well as the futures of their families and friends...!"
"Sounds like a good bases to teach from...!" said Julio, impressed by what he'd seen of the facility.
"We have a 75% success rate of students heading to college after graduating `The Honor Roll'..." informed Thomas. "...rather it's a prestigious school like Seymour College or Jeremiah University, or even Community College Of Philadelphia...!"
"And what about the other 25 percent...?" inquired Julio, as they passed over into the dorm area.
"Well..." hesitated Thomas, not wanting to dwell on the non-successes. "...15% go directly into the work force or military, as we are unable to offset the cost for everyone's college...!"
"But you do WORK with organizations that provide grants for students looking to further their education...?" asked Julio.
"Definitely!" answered Thomas. "Without those generously donated grants and scholarships, NONE of our students would be able to afford a college education...! But we don't have enough funding to submit everyone, so we only take those students at the TOP of their classes...!"
"You HEAR that, Junior...?" asked Julio. "Make sure you're at the TOP before you graduate!" Junior nodded. "And...what about that last 10 percent...?" inquired Julio, not forgetting his question.
Thomas paused in front of one of the dorm rooms...
"This isn't an exact science, Mr. Espisedo..." said the tall distinguished looking black man. "...not everyone will benefit from a program like The Honor Roll...! Some find it too hard and give up. We don't believe in abandoning our students, but we're NOT a prison, they are allowed to GO anytime they please!"
"So the last 10 percent are students who return to their old lifestyles...?" asked Julio.
"Yes." answered Thomas. "But I'm sure young Mr. Taylor here will do good at our school...!" he said, flipping the bad energy around as he opened the door to Junior's new dorm room. "And THIS will be your room for the duration of your stay...!" he introduced.
Junior walked inside. There were 2 single beds pressed into opposite sides of the room, one desk and computer, one large dresser, and 2 closets.
"Who am I rooming with...?" he asked, noting the lived in look of one side of the room.
"Titus West!" answered Thomas. "You'll MEET him officially after classes!"
"Thank you for the tour, Mr. Thomas!" said Julio, shaking hands with the director. "I appreciate it!"
"Well..., any friend of David McConnell is a friend of mine as well!" said Thomas, leaving the 2 men alone as he returned to his office in the administration wing.
"So..., what do you think...?" asked Julio, looking around the room.
Junior checked the size of the unused closet on HIS side of the room...
"It's okay."
Julio sighed...
"Look Junior..." he said, talking real talk. "...you really NEED this opportunity if you want to make it OUT of Roswell Heights! Nobody's bending over backwards to make sure black students get the education they deserve! THIS is your ONE chance to make it! You need to grab the bull by the horns and throw his big ass to the ground! I know how you felt about Todd, and I know you WISH he was still in your life..., but he really would WANT you to seize this opportunity...!"
"I'm HERE, ain't I...?" asked Junior, proving he was seizing the opportunity.
"You don't just need to BE here..." said Julio, trying to drill it in. "...you need to EXCEL!"
"I will!" said Junior, determined to make it.
Julio smiled, then gave Junior a hug before leaving him to get acquainted with his new home. Junior sat down on the edge of his bed, and sobbed, feeling all alone without his best friend or family...
::::FLASHBACK::::
ROSWELL HEIGHTS
`Dad, I don't wanna go...!' said Junior, hating the idea of being away from his family! Being sent to this alternative school was like being punished [in HIS eyes]!
It's a good opportunity, Junior...' said Jerome Sr [40], helping his son pack for his new home for the next school year...! ...your friend Julio seems to think its your only real shot at getting into a good college...! Don't you WANT to go to a good school...?'
School's a waste of time...' sulked Junior, sitting on the edge of his bed! ...at least that's what KANE said...! HE said ain't nobody ever gonna hire no former gang member...no matter what kinda papers you got!'
Listen to me, Junior...' said Jerome, kneeling in front of his son...! ...I don't want you taking advice from someone like KANE...!' said the once religious father, `Men like HIM thrive off of the miseries of others! They don't want anybody to succeed because it means MORE clients, MORE innocent young men selling his drugs for him!
`Don't listen to anybody except your friend: Julio! HE seems to be the only person who gives a damn whether you get out of The Projects or not! He's doing everything in his power to make SURE you have a chance...! Those so called FRIENDS of yours hanging on the streets selling drugs aren't going to amount to much of nothing! Most of them are dead men walking...! Their fates are sealed! Yours is just starting to blossom!'
But...' thought Junior, thinking of his family...! ...what's gonna happen to YOU, mom, and Rose while I'm gone...? Who's gonna pay the bills...? You're not working!'
Let ME worry about that, okay son...?' asked Jerome, patting his son on the knee! I'M the dad here, not you! Paying bills is MY responsibility! Alright...?'
`But..., Kane's NOT gonna let you work...!' said the boy, knowing Kane was treating his family like prostitutes, charging people to have sex with them!
`Let ME worry about Kane...!' said Jerome!
`But dad...'
No BUTS, Junior...' warned Jerome! ...you just go to that school and DO the best you can! That's ALL you have to do! Make us proud!' Jerome hugged his son, both of them caught in an emotional moment [both welling up, but holding back the tears]...! Jerome broke the hug, but then his hands started traveling up to his son's crotch [groping him]!
You're my BIG boy now...!" he said, kneading the erection quickly forming in his son's pants..., a hard-on he's sucked MANY times over the past 2yrs...! He definitely was going to MISS his son...! How bout a blow job before you go...?' he asked, undoing the pants and hoisting out Junior's erection...!
Junior watched his father's fingers wrap about his hard-on [watching his dad lick his lips hungrily in anticipation of blowing him], as he ducked his head into his lap and took his prick into his mouth...! It's a feeling Junior was most familiar with! How many times had his father snuck into his room [in the middle of the night or early morning] and sucked his dick while the rest of the family lay sleeping...? Neither Junior's mother or sister knew that the dad was sucking the son's dick regularly, having grown a yearning to swallow his cum daily!
Junior felt his dad's mouth envelop his dick [as he swallowed him whole], suckling the shaft like his favorite flavored popsicle! Junior leaned back on his elbows and watched his dad bob his head in his lap, sucking up and down on his shaft, sliding his wet slithering tongue along the smooth underbelly, taking it deep! Junior never really had much experience with girls, his first blow job was from his father [after hearing rumors about the projects that his dad was Kane's bitch]! He was shocked when his father confirmed the rumors, but the morning BJ's were so good, that he never complained that his dad was a fag! Then Todd [Junior's best friend] found out, and Jerome was blowing BOTH of them before school in the mornings! That led to Junior and Todd finally messing around without Jerome, causing the 2 teens to fall in love! But Junior lost his lover when his mother moved them away, refusing to let the boys see each other anymore!
Jerome sucked his son with his wife and daughter sitting on the other side of Junior's bedroom door! The 2 females waited in the living room to see Junior off, not knowing that Jerome was on his knees paying homage to his son's young dick, wanting one last taste of his sperm before sending him off to god knows where...?
Junior resisted coming for as long as possible [wanting the blow job to last, unsure WHEN he might get another...?], but his dad had become too skilled after blowing so many men [drug dealers and other paying customers Kane scrounged up for Jerome and his wife], sucking dick with precision and lust, drawing the cum out of his balls in record time...!
Junior had to cover his own mouth to stifle the groans [so his mother couldn't hear them], as he blasted off in his father's throat! Jerome felt the warm wet gushes of teen cum flooding his mouth...and swallowed everything without having to think twice!
10 minutes later Julio was there to drive Junior into school..., where he would live and work for the next year, trying to bring his grades up to par!
::::END FLASHBACK::::
SCENE-2<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Junior fell asleep [face down] in bed after feeling sorry for himself...! He awakened when he heard the door to his room slam..., then saw his new roommate [Titus West] staring at him oddly while walking to his closet...!
"Who the fuck'r YOU...?" asked the boy [6'0", 180lbs]!
"Junior...er, Jerome...but everybody calls me Junior...!" said the newbie, sitting up [nervously]...!
"Titus!" said the bigger boy, tossing his book bag in the closet on HIS side of the room...! "You suck dick, Jerome...?" he suddenly asked out of the blue, totally taking Junior by surprise...!
"HUH...?" asked the new guy, unsure if he was HEARING correctly...?
"My last roommate gave me HEAD every morning before class..." explain the muscular [cocky] boy, openly groping himself [unashamed]! "...he wasn't all that good in the beginning..., but by the time he graduated, he was swallowing my dick WHOLE...!
"I wouldn't mind having another roommate with skillz like THAT...! So...?...do you suck dick...?"
"No!" answered Junior, flatly!
Titus shrugged his shoulders...
"Well..., everybody's gotta lean sometime...!" he said, walking straight over to Junior while unzipping his pants...!
Junior couldn't believe the audacity of the boy...! Was he really going to try to make him suck his did on his first day at the new school...? Within a second he assessed the situation: realizing Titus [an obvious football player from whatever school he herald from] had the advantage of size, weight, and strength on his side...! However, his biggest mistake was in believing Junior was afraid of him, leaving the newcomer with the option of unpredictability on his side!
As soon as Titus was within reach [having unzipped his pants and was about to reach IN and pull himself OUT]...Junior hauled off and PUNCHED him square in the nuts, causing Titus to fall backwards onto the floor, holding his severely aching privates and screaming in soprano like a girly bitch! It didn't take long for personnel to rush into the room and assess that Junior was a troublemaker...hauling him off to the detention room on his very first night!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Ian Thomas was none too pleased to be called to the detention room, especially for a newcomer who was supposed to be on his BEST behavior!
"I really must say, Mr. Taylor..., I'm very disappointed in you...!" said the [30+] Director...! "Julio had such HIGH regards for you...! I seriously thought you would be a JEWEL in The Honor Academy's crown...!...but you're nothing more than street crud, aren't you...?"
Junior didn't answer, figuring no matter WHAT he said, Thomas would believe his longtime student over him [simply because they had an established history already]...!
"Do you have ANYTHING to say in your defense...?" asked The Director, ready to post punishment! Junior just folded his arms, refusing to talk! "Okay..." said Ian, wanting Junior to know he meant business...! "...NO personal phone calls, messages, visits, OR emails for the next MONTH...! AND you are to write me an assay, explaining to me how much you really want to be here...! Because I'm starting to get the feeling you're not taking our program seriously...! You're also to help the janitor with his cleaning detail for that month..., or until I feel you have redeemed yourself in MY eyes...!"
Junior watched as Ian became even MORE serious...! "This school isn't a JOKE, Mr. Taylor...! All of the students here are here because they want to make something of themselves...! They want to BE somebody! And they know The Academy is the stepping stone to get them where they want to be! If you're not serious about making the most of this opportunity..., if your plan is to come here and squander our time and resources..., then you've come to the WRONG school...!...because I will send you home packing LONG before you could recite the alphabet...! IF you can recite the alphabet, that is!
"Good DAY, Mr. Taylor...!"
Junior walked back to his room [under escort of course]...! Ian Thomson spoke to Titus in the hallway outside their bedroom, getting the boy's explanation on what happened...? Of course Titus lied, saying he and Junior had words about where he was to put his `stuff', and then Junior hauled off and HIT him! Ian assured Titus that Junior would not be a problem anymore..., and IF he was, he would be dealt with accordingly!
Titus walked back into the room, staring at Junior as the new boy sat on his bed staring at him back...!
"So WHY didn't you tell Ian the truth...?" asked the bigger boy, figuring Junior was going to squeal to Thomas like a trapped mouse!
Junior didn't answer! "I'm just curious...!" added Titus, knowing had the shoe been on the other foot, HE definitely would have told!
"Where I'm from..." said Junior [with major attitude], "...snitches get stitches...! Only bitches snitch!"
Titus smirked [starting to see Junior in a different light], then walked over to his own bed and flopped down on his back...!...wondering if this was going to be the start of a beautiful friendship...?
