Urn's Denton Tall Tale

My friend Urn wrote this tall tale. Somehow I forgot to write about this:

At our high school in Denton we saw all kinds of crazy shit. I remember one year
this new kid / exchange student showed up from Jamaica named Dominic. Dominic was a good friend of Kintay Moore. Kintay was an athletically talented and aggressive kid whom most people liked but he never bought a stick of deodorant in his life. Kintay was pretty cool and hung out with us sometimes, so by association Dominic seemed legit.

Dominic always wore a black glove on his left hand. When we asked him about it he said, "burnt it when I was yonger mon..." A lot of the girls in school liked his accent so Dominic would soon find himself on Denton's A-List.

One day as I was walking down the hall I saw several Denton Cops walking Dominic out of the building in handcuffs. I just stared in disbelief. As he got near the main doors of the building he a made a run for it but instead of making the logical choice and going through the doors he decided to take a dive out of the front windows Greg Luganis style. These windows were huge and stretched from the floor to the ceiling. The Glass shattered and went everywhere. Every kid in a 100ft radius gathered around like a mob to see what happened. Miraculously Dominic ended up doing a flip while going through the glass, landing on his feet, fell down, got back up and ran about another 20 feet before the cops tackled him to the ground like a bad TV episode of COPS. Most people didn't get to see all the action and I just saw the police cars taking Dominic away.

It turned out that Dominic wasn't a Jamaican exchange student but some 22 year old drug dealer named Dontay living in the projects of a nearby town called Ridgely. He had infiltrated the school, in hopes of cornering the high school drug market. He made one fatal mistake, you can't blend into the background when you go to school in Denton with a Jamaican accent.
