A: Hello, can I help you?
J: I’m interested in purchasing a Mega Millions lotto ticket.
A: That will be $1.00 please.
J: (hands her the money)
A: Numbers?
J: (thinking) Uh.. 2, 12, 16, 22, 28, 31 27.
A:  (puts the numbers in the machine, gives him the receipt) Thank you, good luck.
J: (exits the store with his hands in his pocket)

                                  During the next drawing
J: (watching the television) c’mon, draw the numbers already!
L.D: The winning numbers are…. 2, 12, 16, 22, 28, 31 27!
J: I WON! (stands up, cheers loudly)
                     The phone rings.
J: (answers, acting cool) hello?
L: Hey there, Jaffarali!
J: (curious, but more so confused) Lauren?
L: That would be me.
J: We haven’t spoken since senior year, and you’re calling me?
L: That I am, Jaffar.
J: (suspicious) Oookay then..
L: Congrats on winning the lotto, by the way!
J: Oh, it was nothing! I mean, it’s just the lotto.
L: The Mega Millions lotto!
J: Anyways, why are you calling me?
L: Just calling to congratulate you!
J: (raises an eyebrow suspiciously) Okay then..  Thank you….?
L: See you around, friend! (hangs up)
J: (to himself) Things are getting really freaky...
____________________________________________________
With Andrea and Jaffarali the next day
A: (tapping her nails on her coffee cup) I heard you won the lottery, Jaffar!
J: I actually did, yeah! (not suspecting anything)
A: That is so awesome, I never expected you to win it! (
J: (nods) I’ll be right back.. (goes to get a drink)
A: Alright, don’t hurry! (finds the check and switches it with a fake one)
J: (comes back right after) You were saying?
A: Oh, I was just saying how lucky you are to have won the lottery! (smiles innocently and sweetly)
J: Okay, what do you want?
A: (acts offended with hand over her heart with a shocked face, acting innocent) what do you mean?
J: (raises an eyebrow) We haven’t spoken since senior year, and all of a sudden you come crawling back to me?
A: We’ve known each other forever!
J: Yeah, your point?
A: You can trust me, Jaffar!
J: I’ll think about it.
A: (fake sweet smile, but not easy to tell) Thank you so much, Jaffar!
J: Yeah, okay.
_________________________________________________________________
J: (waiting on line to put the check into the account)
B.T: Next?
J: I’d like to put this check into my account, please. (slides it under the window area)
B.T: (typing in the information) I’m sorry, this isn’t a real check.
J: Wait, are you serious?
B.T: I’m afraid so, sir.
J: I was given a real check, I swear!
B.T: I’m sure you were, sir. Security!
J: (getting hauled away in handcuffs) THIS ISN’T OVER!
P.O: Pipe down, punk!
____________________________________________________________
                                      At the jail
A&L: (go to visit Jaffarali)
J: You two! You guys did this?
A: Oh, you mean, replacing your real check with a fake one? You bet we did. (smirking)
L: We were just pretending the entire time. You fell for our trap.
J: You two are cruel! I can’t believe I fell for your trap!
L: Oh,Jaffarali… It’s okay, you’re just gullible.
P.O: Visiting hours are up!
A&L: (leaving) Have fun in jail, Jaffar. (smirking as they face him while walking out)
J: I’ll  get my revenge once I get out!
P.O: Which will be when you die of old age. You’ll be here for a long, long time.
J: Why me?! They should be here, not me! They gave me a fake check!
P.O: That’s what they all say, punk!
A&L: We did nothing wrong. (innocent eyes, smirking on the inside)
J: Lies! All lies!
P.O: Knock it off, or it’ll take even longer for you to be put into a cell!
J: Oh come on already! This isn’t fair, I’m innocent!
P.O: I’m sure you are, in your dreams! (chuckles)
J: I will get out of here sooner!
P.O: You won’t be getting out for fraud, Shariff.
J: I didn’t do anything! At all!
P.O: Keep arguing, and it won’t be pretty!
J: It already isn’t! I’m stuck here! In a gross, and smelly cell! For life!
P.O: Life isn’t fair! (says sternly)
J: You’ll hear from my lawyer!
P.O: (opens the cell door) Time for questioning.
_____________________________________________

P.O: So, why did you give the bank teller a fake check?
J:It wasn’t my fault! One of those girls switched my real check with a fake one! Does that not make any sense to you?!
P.O: Those two girls? (scoffs) yeah right, kid. Where were you when one of the girls supposedly switched checks?
J: Getting a drink.
P.O: Well maybe you shouldn’t have left a check for 10 million dollars in site, in your coat!
J: They stole my money! Have them arrested immediately!
P.O: We can’t arrest them if there isn’t any proof.
J: Well, find proof them, because I‘m not staying here!
P.O: It’s almost impossible. I’m done with you. (brings him back to the cell)
J: I give up. (sigh)
