Story of Nicholas's Life

Story Plot I have a best friend who named Jordan , he came from a poor family but the

thing that I admired the most from him is that he never complain about his situation now and also study hard to move forward his big dream. I always learn something new from him and he also teaches me and motivates me at all. However , he also made a promise that he will buy me a set of McDonald if i get an A+ in the final exam. Lucky, I get 90% in the exam.

One day , I had banned from Taylor's University because of my bad attendance. I felt self-abandoned and met some bad friends. We planned to kidnap a children who walked alone at the back valley and started to blackmail some money from his parents. But unfortunately this was soon seen through. We were under arrest and have to sleep in jail.

When I was released all my friend were trying to distance themselves from me. I was so sad and I thought that Jordan will never be friend with me again and hate me but it isn't like that .When he heard that I was released, he come to visit me at my house.
