Bad Idea!

by Leon Pryer

 

It was Saturday night me (Leon) Kevin, Daniel, and Karen were chilling in the lobby talking and joking on one another. The old security guards (before they got replace/fired) let us do it because they know that we lived there and they see us every day. They know we don't get in the way, and harm anyone. My friend Kareem went to the store it took him a while but when he came back he came back with a glass bottle Snapple apple. Which is very good by the way. When my friend finish he read the fun fact on the top out loud it said something about some one who did something in the past. When he was finished he was about to head out the door to throw away the glass bottle.

              My friend Daniel asks for the bottle. Knowing Daniel he was about to attempt to do something to get him in trouble. So my friend asks him "what do you want it for" his effort to throw away the bottle wasn't going to end up in the trashcan. Instead he throws it in to the air and it hit 's a car causing it to pull off. If it wasn't for Kareem to notice the foot patrol that saw him throw it. It was almost every one reaction was to run but my friend Kevin said what are you running for you didn't do anything which made me stop and stay. Kareem ran to his house and left us down stairs. The cops walk in as soon as Daniel walk in the lobby for no reason when he could have left, the cops ask "whom through the glass bottle". He raises his hand and said it was he. They ask for I.E. and then took him outside and put him in handcuffs and told him told us to go home. When he was getting arrested they told him to raise your right hand and he raised his left.

            We went around the corner and took the elevator up stairs. Kevin knocks on Daniel's door and told his mother "Daniel just got arrested for throwing a bottle at a moving vehicle and went towards his house. I asked him "yo how can you just go straight up to his mom and say it like that? ". Kevin said "what do you mean", I said "that you just said it with no care or form of respect". He says "he don't care it 's his fault he got arrested". So I went to my house and told my mother what happen. The next day Daniel came home and told he's on Lockdown! (Which is being grounded). So he couldn't come out as much.

            This was one of those days where you expect nothing and something out of the ordinary happens or just plain stupid in this case. Same time different day we were hanging out in front of Building Five hundred and sixty, we saw a man coming across the street with a radio in his he was half drunk and he trip stepping up on the curb and drop his radio. When it hit the floor it broke so the guy looks at it and just walks back across the street. So my friend Kevin ran out and grabs the radio and tries to throw it at the guys' head while his back was turn but he miss and it landed in the middle section of the street. Then runs back in the building and everybody was caught up In the hype.

            Through these past events no one was injured but has a permanent record.
