Fixing the Sink

“Ok class that’s a wrap. I’ll see you all next week when we begin a new chapter.” Said Mr. Holland, my statistics teacher, as the announcements finished and we all got up from our chairs. “And just because you all are graduating in a few weeks, that doesn’t mean you guys can just check out and allow your grades to plummet. Senioritis is a terrible disease and if you let it take hold of you, I promise you will be feeling the symptoms of it when you begin college next year. Nonetheless, have a great weekend and stay out of trouble.”

I hurried down the hall to my locker, eager to be free of the confines of the building and on my way back home to let the weekend begin. I got to my locker and, like usual, fucked up the combination two or three times before I could get the damn thing open. I threw a bunch of books in my backpack even though I knew I wouldn’t be using them and headed for the door.

“Yo! Wait up Daniels!”

I turned at the mention of my name and spotted a few of my friends standing in a small group talking in front of the lockers. I waved and jogged lightly over to them.

“Sup guys.” I greeted as I approached them.

“Not much man, just talkin’ about this weekend,” Replied Frank, one of my friends from the football team. “Speaking of which, you got any plans this weekend? You know that rich kid Robert Oden-something? He’s throwing a huge party tomorrow night. Are you going?”

“Nah sorry guys I can’t make it. I promised my dad I would help with one of his plumbing jobs on Saturday so I will be out of town until Sunday afternoon.”

A chorus of groans and boos greeted me as I finished speaking

“Aw c’mon man. Can’t your old man just bring someone else? We need you there man. Whether you want to admit it or not, girls are into you. Regardless of if you don’t want to fuck a bunch of random hot girls, we need you to pass the plate man. Send a few of them our way. C’mon man, do it for us.”

“I’m sorry guys, I want to go, but I promised my dad I would help him on this. He needs someone who knows plumbing, not just some random guy and I know plenty from working with him so I said I would help. His partner is sick. Next time though, I’m there.”

With that I turned and headed towards the entrance and the parking lot where my truck was parked. Just as I was opening the passenger door to my truck and slinging my backpack onto the passenger seat, I heard the footsteps of someone running up to me. I turned around to find Audrey, a girl from my class jogging up to me. She was a pretty girl about 5’0″ with long black hair that flowed down her back loosely. She was small but had fairly large C or D cups and a good sized bubble butt that stuck out from her small form and drew eyes from down the hall. She wasn’t the most gorgeous or most popular girl in the school, but she was pretty darn attractive. I had noted her looks many times, but I had to focus more on my sports than dating or sex so I didn’t chase after girls unlike my friends. She slowed to a stop in front of me and paused for a moment to catch her breath.

“Hi Josh. I didn’t mean to listen to your conversation or anything but I just overheard you say something about you knowing plumbing. Is that…like…true?”

“Yes…” I said cautiously. “Is there something wrong with that?”

“No, no, no! I just… our kitchen sink started leaking this week and I was wondering if you could help me out. I don’t know two things about plumbing.”

“What’s wrong with your dad? Can’t he fix it? Or at least call a plumber?” I asked, not wanting to sacrifice my Friday evening lying on my back in someone else’s kitchen covered in dirty water and pipe glue trying to fix a sink.

“Yeah that’s the thing. He’s out of town for two weeks on a business trip. It’s just me and my mom and my little brother. He said to call your dad because he knew that your dad is a plumber, but he is out of town on that job that you are meeting him at tomorrow so we don’t have anyone we know who could help out short notice. Please Josh. We are willing to pay you whatever it takes. Please?”

I closed my eyes and sighed, rubbing my temples. Who was I kidding? I wasn’t going to say no to someone who needed help. I might as well get all my non-existent plumbing urges out this weekend if I was already going to be helping out my dad tomorrow.

“Fine, I’ll do it, Audrey. No charge. I’ll be over in a couple hours.” I told her.

“OMG Thank you, thank you, thank you Josh!” she exclaimed as she threw her small arms around my waist in a hug. “I’ll tell my mom you’re coming over. Thanks again!”

She let go of me and went to her car before I could even think about what I had gotten myself into. I had never even seen their kitchen sink. I had no idea what the problem was with it or what it was going to take to get it fixed. And I was doing it for free.
