At 2:40 p.m., the bell rang for the end of the last class, and Tommy Hawk walked out of the classroom with his neck moving, ending the day's classes.

When he packed the locker, he calculated his credits against the class schedule in the cabinet, and after confirming that he had reached the score required by the school, he immediately went to the principal's office to apply for no more daily classes on campus on the grounds that he participated in social activities and met the university admission standards and high school graduation requirements.

As long as the credits are completed and the requirements are met, the school will not interfere with the student's other arrangements, especially in the past two months, Tommy Hawk's hard work has been seen by the school, even though the principal is stimulated by Dennis and Pam like a volcano that erupts at any time, but in the face of Tommy Hawk, he still tries to show his cultivation and kindness in line with his identity, encouraging him to cheer for him in the next AP exams and achieve excellent results.

Getting the school's approval means that Tommy Hawk can no longer come to school on time every day from this moment on, and even if he wants, he can prepare his high school graduation thesis now, and apply for graduation faster than other peers.

As for his friends Dennis and Pam, they can no longer leave school with him, sharing the joy that he does not have to continue to come to the school to attend classes step by step, because the two of them are now accompanied by their parents, receiving the anger from the school authorities, and when they walk out of the school gate, Tommy's ears still seem to be surrounded by the roar of Dennis's mother, Mrs. Herbs, which resounded throughout the schoolyard:

"Dennis! You can watch paid shows on your TV for free! I didn't even think about saving your mom some subscription fees! ”

……

Of course, it's not for nothing that Dennis and Pam have paid such a big price, at least for a long time after today, all the high school students at Lincoln High School will probably talk about the two of them.

And the beautiful teacher Otilia Farrell, who arrived for the first time, was completely suppressed because of the actions of the two of them, and did not make any waves at all.

After all, a female teacher in clothes or a small movie without clothes, high school students certainly know which one interests them more.

Tommy Hawke rode his bike to Warwick's docks, where his dad had messed up his part-time job at the laundry, and the easiest part-time job for high school students in Warwick was to help fishing boats sort out difficult nets or clean foul-smelling cabins.

The main reason why it is easy to find this kind of work is that it is dirty and tiring, but the salary is comparable to the income of a part-time job in a laundry, and both can only earn the minimum hourly wage, three dollars.

Tommy Hawk is ready to overdo it here before he finds another part-time job that suits him, after all, the $400 deposit must not be spent lavishly until he has figured out how to use it to make money on the principal, which is the money he uses to participate in summer activities.

"Sir, does your fishing boat need help sorting out the nets or cleaning it?" Tommy Hawk walked around the dock and then asked a middle-aged, bearded white man standing on the deck of a fishing boat wrenching on what part.

The white man looked at Tommy Hawke with a cigarette and grinned, "You want to get a part-time job on my ship?" ”

"Yes, sir." Tommy smiled and nodded.

The white man nodded: "OK, do you know how to swim, collect nets, operate a crane or simply drive a fishing boat into a berth?" ”

"Ordinary fishing boats should be fine, sir, I have been working part-time on fishing boats since I was fourteen years old." Tommy Hawke spoke.

Warwick is a coastal dock city where a large proportion of its inhabitants fish by boat, and for the city's high school students, flying small motorized fishing boats is as familiar to them as those in large agricultural states flying small planes to spray pesticides on their farms.

"What's your name?" The bearded man lowered his head and continued to adjust the nut with a wrench, and asked.

"Tommy, Tommy Hawke, Eleventh Grade at Lincoln High School."

"My name is Rocco Wadman, Tommy, you can come back tomorrow after school, I'm done with today's work." After the white man tightened the nut, he looked at his cleaned fishing boat and smiled at Tommy Hawk.

"Thank you, Mr. Waldman."

The white man said to Tommy Hawke, "You're welcome, boy, but if you do a bad job, I'll throw you away with a straight face, and I won't pay you a coin." ”

"I'll try." Tommy Hawke said yes and turned to leave.

Having found a part-time job and just about to leave the docks, Tommy sees his daddy, Colin Hawke, jumping out of the family car and striding towards him.

Seeing his son, Colin Hawke was stunned for a moment, and then asked with a smile:

"Looking for a part-time job here?"

"Daddy, good afternoon." Tommy Hawk nodded.

Colin walked over and tried to reach out and pat Tommy on the shoulder, but in the end he took it back, just looked at the black and blue sea in the distance, and said with a smile: "I said last night, I will help you prepare a check for college, go study, son, do what you want." ”

"I'm sorry, Dad, I may have ...... attitude last night," Tommy Hawk said, noticing Daddy's movements.

"No need to apologize, you didn't say anything wrong." Colin Hawke laughed a little, then pointed to Rocco Wadman's fishing boat in the distance: "I'm going to say hi to that guy, he wants to buy some parts from the shipbreaking yard, I'll find out the situation, see you next time, son." ”

With that, Colin Hawke walked towards the fishing boat.

It seems that after last night, Daddy doesn't want to communicate much with himself, and more like he sees himself as an obligation, as if he only needs to send a check for the tuition fee for the first semester when Tommy is admitted to college, and he has fulfilled all his obligations as a father.

Tommy Hawke, as a son, seemed to break his heart last night's conversation.

Watching Colin Hawke leave, Tommy Hawke got on his bike and touched the Paradise Club day card as he fumbled for a cigarette in his pocket.

He took it out and looked at it, and finally decided to go to the club for a spin, not really to satisfy the curiosity and avoid wasting his youth, but to see if there was a chance, just to take advantage of the free time when he didn't have to work today, and dispose of the prescription drugs in his hand cheaply without attracting attention, after all, drugs have a shelf life.

After making up his mind, Tommy Hawke pedaled his bike and headed straight to the state capital of Providence, where he easily found this paradise club with the silhouette of a dancing girl.
