“Hey Jimmy” i yell across the street, its Friday morning we are both getting ready for school on a cool rainy spring day. “Oh hey” calls Jimmy across street. Hes wearing a gray short sieve shirt with red shorts. I cross the street to get over to him and we wait there for the bus. We talk about the celtics game last night and about the homework that we both didn’t do. Me and Jimmy never do are homework, we are smart and get good grades but never want to or have the time to do homework.

“Did you get your x59 yet?”, i ask. “No” he says with moan “ I can’t wait though, when i do get it i am going to start on my project”. “So... will you let me help? i can bring over my computer too and i can help”, i ask with hope. “ Of course you can, we are the best team ever”, he tells me. “Thanks, i really do appreciate it man” i say with a smile.

The bus gets there after i finish my sentence and we both get on the bus to get squished by all the older seniors and the juniors. We can’t even talk to each other because of the constant screaming of the older kids talking about there football game and about there win last week at Jefferson high. We arrive at school and we site through 6 hours of on going jiber jabber from the teachers talking about this and that.

We get out at about three o’clock and we take are normal route home,. We cut through the mall and houses and arrive back at are houses. “Well see yah later Xavyer” Jimmy calls as we both proceed to walk into are houses. “Bye” i say as i walk into my house. “oh wait xavyer” Jimmy yells across the street. “Whats up?” i ask. “The x59, its here i got it!” he screams over at me.I run as fast as i can.

Its a giant brown box that says “To Jimmy Carter” he opens it in a rush, hes so exited he doesn’t even notice the note that came with it tied to the side of the box. I slowly reach over and grab the note, i open it and read “Dear Jimmy, here is your new x59 computer, if you have any problems with it contact us at x59computers.com. I look back at Jimmy to find the computer box out of the shipping box and he is just sitting there in awe of the $3,000 computer that lay in a box in front of him. I look at him and say “Jimmy lets go, we should go try it come on”. He nodes with excitement and we hurry into his house, up the stairs down the hall and into his room.

He puts down the box and reaches for a pair of scissors and cuts the tape and opens the box to find the computer. He takes no time and pulls the computer out of the box and sets it onto the desk. I reach in to find the power cord and pull it out.”Hey Jimmy “ I ask “Do you have a outlet?”, he points over at the wall behind his desk. I carefully unwrap the cord and put it into the wall. I hand him the other end of the power cord and he puts it into the computer.

He starts it up, the screen comes on and i see Jimmy smileing. I look at him and say “i can’t believe you already got it”. “I know, i can’t wait to try out are new program”. “Xavyor!” i hear my mom yell “You have to come home to do your homework”. “Well i got to go, bye Jimmy, i’ll bring the disk to your house on Friday”.
