The Story Of My First Watch

ForeverJesus7

I remember the story of my first watch.

I was fourteen years old. I never had a,

a watch and all of my friends who were,

considered, 'drug dealers', at the time,

were wearing cheap fake gold,

twenty-five dollar watches from the,

'Swap Shop'. They were, 'supposed', to,

look like million dollar watches. Still,

what made these watches special was,

that they all had different color dials:

dark red, dark green, black, dark blue,

and more. I wanted one so much.

Unfortunately, I could not afford one of,

the twenty-five dollar watches. One,

day I was walking along the sidewalk,

and I noticed a rubber digital Homer,

Simpson watch in the street. It could,

not have been more than five dollars.

So I picked it up, and I began to wear,

it a few times to school. Shortly after,

I began proudly wearing my Homer,

Simpson watch that I found, there,

was a time that I went to the, 'Swap

Shop' with my brother and my good,

friend who was actually more of my,

brother's friend. Nevertheless, both of,

them had a lot of cash on them, and,

I had none. My good friend must,

have noticed the watch that I was,

wearing because he said, and I quote,

"Dude, you have to get rid of that,

watch. You look crazy". I did not,

realize that we were by the watch,

section. He asked if I liked a certain,

watch, and I did. Without me asking,

for it he bought it for me. As soon,

as it was in my posession, I took off,

my digital watch and put on my new,

analogue watch. As soon as I saw a,

garbage, I through my Simpson's,

watch away. I loved my new watch. I

was extremely greatful for it. The,

price was around one-hundred,

dollars. It looked exactly like real,

gold with diamonds. Of course it,

was not. Still, it was a beautiful,

rectangular watch with a, 'gold',

bracelet and white dial. I kept that,

watch for two years, and wore it,

everywhere. Although I cannot,

remember how exactly I lost it, I am,

going to imagine that I was very,

upset when I did. I have worn,

different watches since then, but I,

shall always remember that,

one-hundred dollar watch.
