the big band breakup

fuck this

I sat miserably, not taking in the movie.

There was a passionate makeout scene, and the girl in the movie had massive boobs. I wish I were that guy. 

Laurie tried to put her hand in my pocket. She pulled out a bag of my cocaine. 

"Laurie stop!" I yelled. People looked at me. 

She threw it on the ground. "You know, my dad did this. He hurt my mom and I very bad. Now I live with Hasan and my mom and my sister."

I felt sorry for her. She was demented and had a bad life.

"I'm sorry." I said, lost in words.

"Calum, don't do it again." she looked up at me with her ugly blue eyes. 

The movie ended, and the powder was on the ground. I ran out, pushing past people. "Laurie, hurry up!" 

She waddled behind me slowly, and I had to grab her wrist to take her to the car. 

I pushed in a heavy metal CD in my car and played music until we drove to 110 Pilgrim Lane, where Laurie lived.

I walked her in because she couldn't function. A lady who looked like her mom opened the door. "Thanks Calum! I'm Rhonda. Nice to meet you. I'm Laurie's mom. Had fun today?"

"Yeah!!!" said Laurie. "It was such a blast! Calum has video cameras in his car so he doesn't do bad things!" she spilt.

I gave her mom a knowing look and wanted to glare daggers at Laurie for being such a sneak. 

"I'll miss you Calum! I'll be listening to Kidzbop, but if you ever call, I will be aware!"

I smiled the last time and got into the car. When I pulled up in my driveway, my mom looked very angry. 
"Calum, you left without my permission. I called everyone, until Liz informed me that you were going out with another girl?" she said disapprovingly. "You really need rehab."

"I swear mom, it was nothing. Liz had a student who really liked me. She is a little..." I put a finger to my head and circled it.

"Well, it's nice that you're doing something good. Spaghetti? I've had a hard day." replied my mother.

I felt slightly bad since my mom was so easy to trick, but I've lost my coke already so there's one good deed right there. 

The phone rang. I looked at the first three digits, and answered. 

"Mali? Oh my gosh. Did you not get my text? I was at the movies with this girl and she was Liz's student and she was so psycho..."

"Calum!" squeaked a familiar annoying voice. "It's me, Laurie! Are you talking to another girl!?" she demanded.

"No...just talking to myself. I call myself Mali sometimes. Nevermind. Forget anything I said!"

"Well...I left my bag in your car. I was very upset when I lost it. I hid some tampons in there, in case I ever start my period. I don't want anyone to see. Can you please find it? I want it!" she half sobbed and half screamed. 

I sighed and piled into my car and drove back to Laurie's house, which I should mention is very far away. 

"Where are you going Cal? It's a school night." called my mom.

"Sorry mom, I've got to make an exception." I drove off.

When I got there, a beautiful girl about 5'10 opened the door. She had ruby lips and soft green eyes, just the hottest girl I ever saw. I started to get a boner.

"Er...I'm here to give Laurie her purse."

"Thank you Calum." she said. 

How did this girl know me?

"I'm in your homeroom. I'm Elizabeth. Laurie's sister."

Shit. Now she had seen all of the stupid jokes I made in homeroom and me smoking.

"Oh that? I'm not a part of anything stupid. Just my friends." I said, out of panic.

Laurie wobbled down the stairs, two by two. I could literally see that she wasn't wearing a bra.

"Thanks BABE!" she threw her saggy chest at me and squished me into a hug.

"What did I tell you Laurie? Chill." scolded Elizabeth. 

Hasan walked down, and there was connection between them. I was starting to wonder if Elizabeth was Hasan's boyfriend. 

"I'm heading out." I said, and no one heard me.
