Does my narrating in this story make you want to fall asleep?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I had just walked a few blocks from Tony's house when a cop pulled me over. Well not technically "pulled me over", but yeah, he stopped me.
"Hey kid what's your name?"
I just said the first name that came to my mind.
"Lawrence". LAWRENCE, I thought, oh my God, shoot me. He parked his car on the sidewalk, right next to me. "What's the backpack for?".
I had completely forgotten I even had that with me. The bad thing is I was holding it like a grocery bag, which made me look suspicious, instead of wearing it like a backpack. "It's for school and stuff, you know?".
He took his stunner shades off, looked me right in the eye and said "Oh yea? What kind'a school ya got on a Saturday?" There was really nothing I could say to that. I thought there might be, but there wasn't. I stared at him for like two seconds without a reply. He probably knew who I was, and was just trying to see if I'd give in. HelI no, I wasn't gonna give in.
Right when I saw he started openning his door to get out, I kicked it right back-in on him as hard as I could with my best front-kick and then shot off like my mother was dying. He came after me for only a few yards and then ran back to his car- probably to call back up and tell'em he'd found Jerry Franco. I was so glad he ran back, 'cus I tire out fast while running. I mean, I'm a lightning fast starter but I can't keep the pace.
I figured I'd run 'till I saw somewhere I could hide and they wouldn't expect it. After getting a few blocks away from the cop and turning a few corners, I got to this little shopping center. I caught my breath and looked around. There really weren't many options on where to take refuge, like I said, it was a little shopping center. But there wasn't much time I could waste deciding, so it came down to Kohl's or the DollarTree store?
Kohl's had way too many cameras and people for my liking. The cops would probably go around asking if they'd seen me inside the store and sure enough some snitch would say "Yup, he went that way!". No thanks, I thought, and I sprinted over to the DollarTree. Through the window, I was happy to see there were only two cashiers working. Even better, they were facing the side opposite of the entrance-door, so they wouldn't see me come in. I was planning on being all stealthy and stuff when openning the door, but the freak'n thing was automatic so when it swung open it made noise anyway. Luckily, no one cared enough about me entering the store as to even glance over.
Seconds after I walked into the store, I heard the magical sound and saw the flashing lights- cops. The same cop that'd pulled me over, had just driven into the plaza. The idiot headed straight for Kohl's. I couldn't help planting this big 'ol freak'n smile across my face.
