I put a new forgis on the jeep
I trap until the bloody bottom is underneath
Cause all ma nigga got it out the streets
I keep a hundred racks inside my jeans
I remember hittin' the mall with the whole team
Now a nigga can't answer calls 'cause I'm ballin'
I was wakin' up gettin' racks in the mornin'

A young man could be seen in the kitchen cooking while singing
Martens!, Martens! A female voice could be heard yelling from inside the sitting room.
" Ivy what!!!" Martens exclaimed in a frustrated voice.
" Uncle is calling you outside he wants you to help him lift something from the car " Ivy replied.
"Is that why you had to yell my name, yeah I bet you knew I could
hear you if you didn't shout" argh this was the third she was disrupting him today.
"I told her to call you Martens and Ivy how many times have I told you don't scream" an older voice could be heard berating Ivy.
"'But Scholes I'm cooking" Martens said protesting.
" It's just some books, c'mon man and I also got you a dell laptop" Scholes said in a dramatic manner but Martens was used to his antics.
"Alright man let's go get it" Martens replied. A stranger might literally think that they're agemates or roommates with the way they speak to each other.
"And you Ivy how many times have I told you whenever I am cooking you have to be with me in the kitchen, you have to start learning how to cook I sure wo..." Martens was saying in his dad's signature African accent before Ivy cut him off.
"I sure won't follow to your husband's house you know right, Martens I'm just 12, who talks about husband to a 12 year old girl, I just wanna watch some cartoon okay" Ivy mimicked him then ran off.
" Go get the books....and the pc" she said from the stairs amidst her giggles.
"Hmmm" Martens sighed she just isn't learning!
" And don't call me Martens I am your senior brother okay" he replied in a macho voice which elicited a giggle from Scholes
" c'mon mate she's just a kid okay" Scholes said while giggling
"Alright let's go get it" Martens replied in a slightly tired voice.

"Woah this pc is dope man", Martens exclaimed after they were done moving everything into the house.
" Yeah I got It for you, your final exams are coming soon you'll probably be needing it" Scholes said.
" Yeah We've got exams tomorrow, thanks Scholes I really appreciate" Martens replied in a somewhat emotional voice.
Scholes's phone lit up.
[When we ride, we ride
It's till the day we die
When we ride].
A ring tone sounded it was Rihanna's we ride, one of her flop songs by the way but Scholes was in love with the song anyways, he was one of Rihanna's fanboys.
" Yeah I gotta go pick ma call we'll talk later" Scholes said with a loverboy smile on his face.
" Is it Rihanna? " Martens asked with a teasing smile on his face
"Yeah...wait Ri what" Scholes replied stunned
" ah so you're cheating on her you had the gall to fall in love with a girl apart from Rihanna!, I'll tell Rihanna whenever I see her" Martens said sarcastically
"Fuck! Bro I've never even seen Rihanna before and your food is burning" Scholes exclaimed while rushing up the stairs.
"No f words" Martens said before running off to the kitchen
.

"Knock, knock Ivy food is ready" Martens exclaimed while humming to the tune of ~Animal I have become by the three days grace band~ before rushing of to knock on Scholes's room
"Scholes food is ready"
"Yeah I'm coming man" Scholes replied
" woah how nice is it to fall in love, bro has been on the phone for the past two hours" Martens muttered with a funny countenance displayed on his prominent face.
After eating Martens went to his room. After setting up his laptop he decided to check on his system which had been fully activated 3days ago after he'd turn sixteen. Thinking of the day he turned 16 he couldn't help but smile it was a very funny day.
"Anyways, menu" He muttered pushing all his thoughts to the back of his mind.
Yes host!

"Woah it's my first mission and I have to make a million pounds way to go" Martens muttered
" System can I see my gift" Martens asked
" Yes Host" the system replied in its usual emotionless tone
[ Congratulations you have won an high tier soul pill]
"Before I get the gift, system can I ask some questions" Martens inquired in a curious tone
"Yes Host " the system answered
" Do I have to keep calling you system why not other names like Felicia or maybe Alice " Martens asked
" Host can choose a name apart from felicia" the system replied it's voice becoming a little bit more emotional as opposed to its usual robotic voice probably exclaiming at Martens stupid sense of naming.
" I guess That's your way of saying wtf is Felicia right but it's a nice name tho" Martens said chuckling
System: "....."
"Okay then how about Santiago" Martens said after remembering [Goal the dream begins] a movie which he had watched in both lives.
" Okay Host, name acknowledged" Santiago said taking on a teenage male voice.
" Call me Martens " Martens replied
" and Yeah I want the pill" Martens said
"Okay Martens click on the inventory icon on the system and click on redeem there"
Martens clicked on inventory and saw a blue pill like icon which he redeemed.
" If I take this will I get high?" He asked Santiago with a mischievous expression on his face
"No Martens" Santiago replied sarcastically albeit formally
"Seems like the system can now display emotions to a good extent, that's a nice change" Martens thought to himself
" Okay Santy any side effects I should know of" he asked purposely introducing a nickname to the system to see his reaction.
"A bit of pain and some hours of sleep that's all" santy answered acknowledging the nickname.
"Okay then I'll take it before I sleep hopefully I don't sleep past 8" He said remembering his exam tomorrow.
" Time to start earning some money" he muttered realizing that every single bit of time wasted equals lots of money gone.
After playing stuntin like daddy by lil Wayne on his Sony ericcson with the ear buds on He couldn't help but wish Apple would speed up their production
"I need me an iPhone" he thought.
He went to his dell laptop and after opening internet explorer he went to the Etrading platform and only then did he remembered that he was not 18 yet.
" Argh" he growled, he stood up and went to Scholes's room
" Knock knock" he knocked on Scholes's door
" come in" Scholes said from inside the room and Martens went in.
[MC's Pov from now on with some mixture of 2nd and 3rd man pov when needed]
.....
In a cool and neatly set up room. Scholes sat at his workstation while playing unfaithful by Rihanna. Some medical research details were displayed on his screen
"I need your help with something" I said
"And what is that man" he answered with his gazed still fixed on his desktop probably busy
" should I come back it seem like you're busy" Martens asked
"Okay lad what is it" he turned to me sparing some time off his research
"can you please help me open an account on Etrading" I asked
After hearing what I said he looked at me for some minutes with a worried gaze before he replied.
" Are you sure man, I heard trading takes your money and you can become addicted over time, it's not exactly a good thing is it and do you even know anything about it?" he asked seemingly concerned
" Don't worry I've got quite a knack for it and I'll keep it controlled okay" Martens assured him
"Okay then let me see" then I showed him the sign in page for the platform and he entered his details creating the account.
" You didn't tell me you had a bank account and how did you even open one" he asked with some suspicions evident in his voice
" trade secret" Martens flashed a smile and replied him.
He wanted to continue prying but his phone rang ~when we ride we ride till we die~ after seeing the caller on the phone he flashed a smile completely forgetting about me as if I didn't even exist in the first place after suppressing my giggle I took off to my room.
After taking a seat at the small work station in my room, I took my Sony phone and played No apologies by Eminem and took of to the internet, I started searching for stocks that are currently down but could significantly rise according to it's trajectory in my previous life. After searching for a while I identified 4 particular stocks which I still remembered their trajectory. I opened my Etrading account.

After taking a look at my account and determining the stock that I wanted to purchase, I decided to do everything the next day after my exam. After turning my laptop off and preparing my bed I took out the blue pill and stared for a few minutes with some apprehension this was the first thing I received from the system.
"Dont worry it's safe" Santy said much to my astonishment when did he start initiating conversations I thought to myself.
"OK then" and without the previous hesitation I had shown I threw the blue pill into my mouth and that was when the pain came it was immediate but I tried with all my power to prevent myself from screaming. I sunk my teetth into the pillow and my entire body started convulsing.
" Santy fucking said a bit of pain" I thought to myself before fainting.
