All Chapters of When You Least Expect It: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

As Michael Damari walked through the hallways of Oak Bridge Secondary School, popularly known as Oaky, on Turner Street, Carterville, thoughts of how close he was to closing this chapter of his life ran through his mind. In a few weeks, he would write his final exams, become a legal adult and graduate a little over two months.'How time flies.' He thought.  He could still r

"Michael my man, how's the trip to dreamland?" I looked behind me to see Ayo, one of my close buddies who had the occasional tendency to rhyme when he spoke. He was also an aspiring artiste who was determined to make it big in the entertainment industry. Ayo’s father was an American and his mother was African-American, you could say his facial features were pleasing to the eyes.

When the clock struck eleven o'clock, I heard the doorbell ring. By this time, Ola was upstairs and fast asleep.I went to the front door and let my mom in."Good evening mom. How was your day? Hope work wasn't too stressful?" I said, taking her bags from her.

On my way out, I bumped into Ayo who had made himself at home in the food and drinks section. In his hands were two stuffed bags filled with what I assumed to be takeaways."What's the rush man?" He called out as he spotted me in the crowd."I've got to get home. Something's come up."

"I was instructed to direct you once you arrive. I need you to sign over here first and then I'll take you to your mother."Once I had signed, I looked up eagerly at the nurse for the next step."Please come with me." She said.

"Alright, thank you doctor." Then I suddenly remembered. "What about the medical bills?""I wanted to speak to you about that. The catering company covered a percentage of the bills. However, there is still an outstanding and your mother also needs medication. I'll have the nurse inform you about the exact details."Just then, there was a beeping noise.

"You want to see me?" The man said."Yeah boss, this guy came in here looking for a job." Sam said.The man took a cursory glance at me."W
