There was once a kid named Patrick who rode his bike to school everyday. He'd begin his morning with a tea and a lightly buttered scone. The sun would usually shine through the sink window in the kitchen. 'A nice touch', was a thought he had on most spring mornings. His parents worked the night-shift at the local auto plant (she, on the assembly line, he, as a janitor). Patrick had one older brother, Seamus, who was away at university and a younger sister who was on March break with her grandparents in Ohio (another story). Patrick was on March break, too, but he was still going to hop on his bike. He was working on a science fair project and needed access to the Physics lab. After next year he'd have to think about university himself. For now, though, his world at St. Damien's High School was enough. A bunch of girls liked him and he had a crush on almost all the pretty girls. No girlfriend, but that was just fine with Pat. He had plans for tonight. Big party at Ben's where the private school girls would be and so would he and his best friends. But first, his project needed work. His brain was clear on this morning and as he locked his bike up near school, he looked up to the street to see a flashes of light bouncing off cars. The halls were empty and this was how Patrick liked high school. He opened the door to the Physics lab. It was Friday and he was working on his March break. But he was smiling because he wanted to be there and tonight he would grab a few beers and celebrate.
