My 9th Grade Experience with Being a Billionaire

hi there my name is angela and ever since the ninth grade my life has been one wild ride everything literally changed for me overnight i never thought that a single fall could completely change my luck the day i'm talking about started like any other at school things were exactly how i like them no one spoke to me and i didn't speak to them that is until i got a message from my friend that she was waiting for me outside the debate room i remembered the meeting we had scheduled so i ran like crazy guess who i ran headfirst into the king of football ross as if that wasn't bad enough i spilled my juice on his white shorts but he grabbed his things and stormed away i looked down at all of my things scattered around me that's when i noticed something wasn't mine i picked it up a lottery ticket i jumped to my feed and turned to call ross's name just as he turned the corner he turned around and looked me straight in the eyes he shook his head and scoffed before continuing on his way i wanted to give him back his ticket but there was no way i was facing him again not in this lifetime i spent the rest of my classes trying to devise a clever way of getting the lottery ticket back to him when a great idea came to me i'd slide it into his locker that way i wouldn't have to talk to him after school i put the ticket in a small white envelope for a fun sake i stuck a small heart onto it it's not like he'd know i sent it i thought gleefully as i approached his locker and headed straight into the most embarrassing moment of my life just as i took out the envelope ross and his girlfriend maria appeared she snatched it out of my hand and looked at the heart oh no i thought please no but to my utter horror she began laughing and said i was trying to give him a love letter i tried to tell her that it wasn't a letter at all when ross looked at me and literally snarled get out of here you idiot he yelled he said i was a weirdo and a stalker clearly he hadn't forgotten this morning's event he snatched the envelope from maria and threw it in my face i was humiliated when i got home i threw my backpack on the ground and the lottery ticket fluttered out of the side pocket i snatched it up off the ground crinkled it up and threw it in the trash stupid ticket as luck would have it i was late for school the next morning i rushed to school and saw something that left me speechless ross and his girlfriend had gone crazy or so it seemed they were emptying trash cans all over the place and other students were laughing at them i hung around in the shadows trying to figure out what had happened when i overheard a kid say that someone in our small town had won the 1.2 billion dollar jackpot last night my mind went straight to the ticket i had thrown in the trash he then said that nobody had claimed the ticket yet and ross had lost one which could be the winner i walked away with my heart racing wondering if i could possibly have the winning ticket and then i remembered something horrible it was trash day panic took over i needed to get back home as soon as possible to get out of school i faked being ill but the nurse didn't buy it and suggested that i just rest for a little bit in her office i knew if i was going to get back home before the garbage man came i needed to do something drastic so i pretended to faint but i ended up actually hitting my head really really hard on the bed stand on the bright side though i got sent home once home i rushed upstairs as quickly as i could while pretending to be ill i tried to convince my mom that the best thing for me would be fresh air but she wasn't falling for it and sent me back to my room i tried to think of another way to get out when i heard the garbage truck down the road i had to do something right now i had no choice but to sprint out of the house and deal with the consequences later i rushed down the stairs tiptoed out of the back door and ran towards the dumpster as if i were being chased by bees things were about to get really dirty i jumped straight into the dumpster and started going through the bags like a maniac oh god whose trash is this no one eats stinky tune out of the can at my place and what's this weird pink stone i just chucked it all out and moved on to the next bag i couldn't see that lottery ticket anywhere i climbed out of the dumpster feeling completely defeated and covered in gross stuff the garbage truck had pulled up by now and clearly the driver thought i was insane but he just picked the bags up and drove off i went to my room slammed the door and kicked my waste basket over and that's when i saw it the lottery ticket it must have fallen out when my mom emptied out the waste baskets i snatched it up then went straight to the lottery website on my phone my heart was racing the first number matched then the second the third oh my god now i just needed the fourth number wait what the fourth number didn't match just like that i couldn't believe it i was this close i stared at the numbers again and again but they weren't about to change i had lost and i had a concussion and i stank like fish officially the world's unluckiest person later that night i was skimming through my instagram feed when i saw a post that made me sit straight up in bed it was an ad offering two thousand dollars to the person who found a weird pink stone now where had i seen one of those today i tipped out of the back door quietly again and made my way to the dumpster again and looked around the ground with my phone's flashlight and my heart skipped a beat when the light caught something shiny it looked exactly like the stone in the ad and if someone was willing to pay two thousand dollars to someone just for finding it i wondered how much it was actually worth i quickly picked it up and went back inside hardly able to sleep that night with excitement the very next morning i got off the school bus midway in town and headed straight to mr clark's jewelry and antique store i'd worked there last summer and if anyone could tell me the value of this stone it was old mr clark his eyes sparkled as he held it up and inspected it in the light then under a special microscope he had he was taking his sweet time finally he told me that it was a really rare and valuable stone probably worth millions i tried to act cool but i actually wanted to jump up and down for joy i was going to be so rich he asked me curiously where i'd gotten it from and i said casually that it was my grandma's and i was just having it checked out for her then i was out of there only millions eh you liar i could tell it was worth more just by the look in his eyes he called me the next day and asked me if i could meet him again at the store i wasn't surprised i knew he wanted this stone but i wasn't going to let him trick me into settling for less and he could certainly afford to pay whatever price i asked for everyone knew how crazy rich mr clark was he lived in a 50-acre mansion and he had a tiger for a pet and holding on to the stone in my pocket tightly i told him that i wouldn't accept a penny less than a billion dollars he looked at me for a moment whipped out his checkbook scribbled something and handed me a check my eyes were about to pop out of my head he'd actually given me 1.2 billion i handed him the stone we shook hands and i walked out completely dazed what i was a billionaire life changed for me overnight i went from lady unlucky to lady luck i went on secret shopping sprees and hired a personal driver to be on standby and take me anywhere i wanted to go at any time i obviously had to be careful not to get caught by my parents so i lied a bit at school though things were wild i could throw the craziest parties and take everyone to the coolest concerts everyone loved me within a year i had become the queen i could buy little things here and there for people and because of it they all worshipped me best of all ross wanted to date me he was still a big meanie to others though so i played him a little i knew i could get away with it now i made him write me a love letter and then humiliated him for it in front of everyone the tables had turned i would much rather date kevin kevin was a total babe everything was great but towards the end of the year i overheard my parents crying in the kitchen when my dad got home from work one evening i stuck around to eavesdrop they were talking about how my dad had lost his job they didn't know what they were going to do and were concerned about not being able to pay for the house anymore i couldn't believe it what was the point of their fancy college degrees if they didn't even ever use their brain it's up there for a reason you know that's why poor people stay poor i had the smarts to know what something was worth and i knew how to make the money for it i could help my parents but then i would have to tell them that i sold something that wasn't mine and even worse my money might get taken away i couldn't risk it so i snuck away i deal with this later at the end of the school year all the popular kids were planning to go to the bahamas for a trip i told mom and dad that i was going away for a summer vacation and they were glad to have time to work a few more odd jobs i kind of felt sorry for them so i snuck a hundred dollars into my dad's wallet it ended up being seven of us in total and i paid for everything i mean everything from hotels to room service we even had 24 7 butlers and a private jet i bought everyone the best food and treatment i even paid for a few folks including myself to get private surfing lessons it was awesome and i was totally happy at least so i thought one day while i was surfing i sprained my ankle i was in terrible pain and freaked out my surf teachers and 24 7 butlers all came to my aid and rushed me to the hospital but only kevin came to see me i was pleased to see him but he could only stay a bit and then he went out to take his mom's call and didn't come back till the next day i needed some time to heal before going home so i called my parents and told them that i had won a contest and got to stay for an extra week they were so preoccupied trying to figure out how to keep paying the bills that they didn't even question things too much i assumed my friends would want to stay a while longer but everyone except kevin said they had to leave at least i had kevin but he had been acting a bit weird he was always outside he barely stayed in with me and when he did he was always smiling at his phone it was difficult to always be limping around when i finally got better i thought i'd surprise him at the beach but i was in for a real shock at the beach i found him making out with a local and she was wearing my clothes this was why he'd stayed i was devastated i rushed home the next day once i got back home i was too embarrassed to tell everyone how heartbroken i was because everyone seemed happy when they all insisted i throw a big party that weekend i rented out a huge warehouse and hired interior designers to decorate everything i even hired bouncers the whole upcoming senior class was invited it would be epic and would finally show kevin he was a sucker for cheating on me with some dumb broke girl as expected the party was absolutely insane just about everyone showed up people were dancing everywhere and the whole warehouse was full it started off great but as the night went on things got out of control and i stopped having fun the cops showed up and busted the party we were all under age so we were all in deep trouble but the worst thing wasn't getting caught it was when everyone blamed me and told the cops i was to blame for it traitors after everything i'd done for them of course the cops took me to a police car and called my parents and needless to say my parents were livid at first they couldn't believe the cops had the right people as there was no way in hell mom and dad could afford such a wild party i was so dead i had to come clean but i told them there was no way i'd give up my money they said i was grounded and i laughed in their faces i told them i could move into a house easy peasy in fact i told them i could pay rent to stay here mom was so mad she almost choked but dad looked at me sadly and said he needed the money so he agreed for a whole week they didn't even speak to me i came home and went as i pleased and after the police incident everyone knew i had won the lottery life at school was back to normal i was throwing parties and i didn't have to worry about mom and dad at all that's when i noticed my money was beginning to dwindle i figured i'd have to learn to be more careful and that's when the worst thing imaginable happened i was on my way back from school when a van pulled up next to my car and three armed men jumped out and banged on the doors they broke the windows and hit my driver on the head it knocked him out the three of them grabbed me and dragged me out of the car they quickly pushed me into the van and we sped off they put me in a dark room where i was blindfolded they said they wanted the 1.2 billion dollars i told them i'd spent it all but they knew i was lying they called my parents and demanded the money but my parents said they had no idea where i kept it the kidnappers didn't believe them they said i would rot here forever if i didn't give them exactly 1.2 billion dollars i asked them why they needed the exact sum when i didn't even have it when finally one of them pulled off their mask and lifted my blindfold i gasped it was ross he said he knew i'd stolen his ticket i tried to explain that i hadn't but he punched the wall ugh this jerk thinks the ticket was the winner man i have to deal with this now he said he had needed that money to go to college but because i'd robbed him he couldn't go anymore i cried and said i was sorry but it was useless he wouldn't let me go when he finally believed that i'd spent most of the money he left the room with the others and said i would rot there he locked the door and left i was petrified i banged on the door but no one opened i started crying what have i gotten into why wasn't anybody looking for me where were my friends i was sure i would never escape i fell asleep crying when i finally opened my eyes i saw a bright light had i died mom and dad would be heartbroken they still loved me even though i'd been such a horrible person that's when i heard mom sobbing i finally managed to focus on everything around me i was in a hospital and there were all sorts of tubes running through me i asked what happened and they said ross had tried to break into the house as they had expected it the police managed to catch him and he told them where i was the police inspector said if i'd been there any longer i would have lost my life i had been in that room for three days without food or water he said i was the luckiest person he knew
