Adam Byrne was the schools 'it' boy, every girl wanted him and every guy wanted to be him. All of the super cliché things. Only thing he didn't have to complete the cliché was money his family wasn't dirt poor but they were no where near being on the high side of middle class. He had to balance school, work and basketball. Basketball was his only way out of having no money, it was his way to college. It was also his passion, he couldn't see himself without basketball in his life. Some mornings it was the only thing to get him out of bed. Mornings such at today, Adam's first day of senior year. It took all his strength to force himself out of bed. He woke up late, so he didn't have time to eat the only thing hi was able to do before his ride picked him up was get dressed. He ran to his friends car once they honked the horn. Once he was in, his friend took off. They arrived about 30 minutes till school started. To kill time Adam and his friend Ryan played a game of pick-up basketball. As usual a crowd of people formed to watch the game.
