From 0 To 100 (DRABBLE)
During senior year Taking place in California, in highschool.  Craig was 17 at the time and as of now, every student is in their home room, remaining quiet, taking notes in their journals and putting down their own answers. Craig leaned back a bit against his seat and stretched his arms a bit then rested his hands behind his head, taking a deep breath as he slightly yawned out "Ohhh baallzzz....." Causing some of the students to snicker and chuckle as the homeroom teacher, Ms. Erynn stopped writing on the chalk board and turned "Settle down, class..." She spoke out then gazed her eyes to Craig. "You're disrupting the class again mr borden. I don't want to have to send you down to the principle's office. You need to work quietly please" she clearly stated, warning him. Craig soon placed his hands down at his desk and leaned his head back for a few then mumbled "Not unless you make me a sandwich....." Some of his classmates heard what he said, causing them to chuckle under their breath. Ms Erynn stood unimpressed "I beg your pardon?..." She didn't really heard what he said but had a feeling that he said something unprofessionally wise. Craig soon sat up looking at his teacher "Nothin' Ms. Erynn. I'll just stay quiet till errybody done" he replied as Ms Erynn suspiciously looked at him for a second then sat at her desk to let her students work quietly for a couple of more minutes until she spoke up "Alright everyone, you may stop writing now. Just be sure you study over these notes, you all should be able to use these to your advantage to help with the exam that is taking place this Friday" she said until the school bell rings as the students began grabbing their belongings and leaving their chairs to dismiss the classroom. Craig got up from his chair " 'bout damn time" he said to himself, grabbing his books and putting them in his bag then flung the bag over his shoulder. Exiting the classroom, he walks through the crowded hallway, making his way down, on the way to leave since it was dismissal time. Before he could leave school, his buddy, Arlo met up with him "Yo! Wait up! We gotta think of some plans bro." He said then added "I was thinking tonight, we go to the club with hot dates. I managed to holler at Val, who's like legit one of the finest piece of ass throughout the whole school and she agreed to go out with me, finally after some convincing" he said with a proud smile. Craig scuffed softly as he turned to him "Whatcha do? Bribed her with a new porsche along with your entire bank account? You know dayum well she way outta ya league. She a gold digga bruh..Not to mention, she only goin' out wit yo dumbass cuz she got da hots for me. Plus, she's all 'bout wantin' to party N' drink" he said. Arlo raised his brows as he responded "For the record, you're a piece of sh*t man. Two, it wasn't a porsche or my bank account that convinced her to come....." He replied then sheepishly added out "I promised to buy her whichever she gets her hands on at her favorite mall every Sunday....." As Craig smirked in amusement "Ha..." He said as Arlo soon asked "Well then how about you smartass? Who are you going to take out to the club tonight?" While waiting for an answer. Craig gazes right over at a cute looking female who's by her locker talking to her friends as Craig turned back to Arlo "I'm takin' Mina out" he said. "What are you kidding?? You got rocks in your head or something??...Blaze is going to kill you if he catches you talking to her!" He said in caution and making it as if his friend was oit of his mind. Craig shrugged it off "Nahh, he ain't finna do sh*t if he catches me, you be doin' the most" as he went on over to Mina, leaning his side against the locker "Ayy fine foxy mama. How you been? Finna go out wit me to da club tonight? Mah treat" as he stayed casually cool and patiently waits for her response. Mina didn't expect Craig to just be right there but she was also flattered by his compliment and offer. "Well, Craig... As much as I want to and I really do appreciate it but I don't think it's such a great idea...You know, with the exams coming up and all....But.." She began as Craig nodded along to what she was saying then spoke "Wha?.....Ain't I not hot 'nuff for ya?" He asked jokingly in a casual manner. Mina shook her head "Nooo, nothing like that, your good looking. But I don't think Blaze would like the idea of me going out with you.." she said then speak of the devil, Blaze came by keeping a hard gaze on Craig "Yo homes. You heard the lady..I DON'T like that idea........At all" he said, keeping an eye on him then added "So what are you trying to do? Steal her away from me?" As Craig replies "It ain't stealin' if 'Your girl' hasn't made anythin' official witchu. Besides, I get it. It's no secret that you jack off to dudes. Nothin' against gays tho, but we all know you ain't no real man, ain't a real man due to bein' a major a**hole to women. Underestimate them, mock them, verbally abuse 'em. Like I said, you ain't no real man" he said. "Now I'm not sayin' I'm perfect but I'm at least man enough to treat women with respect" he added. Blaze glared "Hey! I'm not gay!.....I thought that one guy was a girl an- shut up! What matters is that she's mine. I got dibs on her first" he said as Craig grins then glances over at Mina, ignoring what Blaze stated out "I'll see ya tonight, a'ight?" He softly spoke along with a wink causing Mina to act all bashful, softly smiling as she tucked some hair behind her ear and lowered her head some to hide her blush. Craig began walking away as Arlo started walking along with him. Blaze stood glaring for a bit then spoke out "You know what, Borden?? It's fine! I get it! You keep thinking that your so great that nothing can phase you! Right?? Right??" Craig and Arlo just kept walking down the hall. Blaze spoke out again "Hey! Pendejo!! Don't walk away when I'm talking to you!!" Craig still ignored. Blaze thought of something quick until he spoke "Okay homes, I get it! It's no secret that YOU grew up without a mom! Which is how come you turned out the way you do!! All a mess!! Without your whore of a mom, your nothing but a bastard!! el hijo de puta!!" Immediately, Craig stopped, he was near the entrance door but he didn't move a muscle, he stood still as Arlo was shocked that Blaze brought this up as he then turned to his friend, urged him not to confront him and that he wasn't worth it but Craig soon dropped his backpack, clenched his fist and turned "Yo, whatchu said 'bout mah mama??" Craig usually can handle a lot of things but when it came to family, especially when it came to his deceased mother, this is definitely crossing the line for him, he walked right on over to Blaze feeling his anger go from 0 to 100 real quick, getting in his face as Craig kept a real serious and stern face. Blaze spoke "You heard me, bitch..." also getting in his face as it looked as if the two were about to go brawl against each other. But soon, Craig's triplet brother, Marshall intervened along with his friends, breaking it up some of Marshall's friends held Blaze back and Marshall held Craig back along with Arlo. Blaze pointed out "You're lucky I didn't kick your ass!! If it weren't for your brother and his friends, you would've been done for!!" He shouts out in aggravation. Craig glared some at Blaze from a distance then spoke "Well whatchu waitin' for bruh!! I'm right here!!" Inviting Blaze to come fight him now, showing aggression as Marshall and Arlo had to restrain him a bit while the rest of Marshall's friends had to restrain him back so that the two don't get at each other violently. Soon Marshall gazed over to Blaze, shaking his head "Shut up, Blaze, just get a life and leave already" he said. As Craig tried getting out of his friend and brother's restraint but eventually gave up and just hollerd "N' don't ever talk 'bout mah mama again!! Ya hear!?...." He was so filled up with rage and aggression, it hurt to hear such a being talk about someone so dear who past a long time ago, he didn't want to ever hear such things about a deceased loved one so he couldn't help but feel the way he did and still does. Finally, Blaze left as Marshall and Arlo soon released Craig, seeing him breathing heavily as he asked "Are you okay, bro? What lead to this? Huh?..Tell me what happened?.." Marshall asked while placing a hand on his shoulder to comfort his brother. But Craig quickly moved his shoulder away from his hand "Yo, dead ass, I ain't in da mood for this right now......He talkin' smack 'bout our mom N' I lost it from there, a'ight??...." Then Craig storms back to go pick his backpack up and heads out the door on the way home. While walking on the way home, Craig did some major pondering and debating whether or not he should've beaten the hell out of Blaze for bringing up his mother in such a disrespectful way, but in some ways, glad that he didn't cause for one, he probably would've gotten himself expelled and two, his father wouldn't approve of the idea of him getting into serious, major fights in school. Though still, he felt that he should've knock the living daylights out of Blaze, he absolutely loathe the idea of letting any low life get away with the things that's been said about a deceased person. However, if his mother was alive, she wouldn't want him to go around getting into ugly fights anyway, this isn't what she would want anyway. So Craig took a couple of deep breaths to calm himself down then gently spoke with a soft empathetic sigh "I love you, mom.....I promise. That someday....Imma make you proud up in heaven.."
