Time: starting 12 grade/ new year
I wasn't ready for what was coming towards me...
She was pretty. She was pretty. He was cute. He was cute. Here I was walking in a parade of gorgeous people...what was I doing here? Oh yeah...getting fucking educated so I can have a fucking good adult life. Amazing.
*ring* *fucking* *ring*
Jesus Christ the bell was loud. It was time for History Class. Luckily It was first period. Our teacher is a freak dude who sweats a shit ton who never gives us homework and always let's us talk in class/ finish copying homework for other classes. I sat in the back in front of my best friend. He was my total opposite. He was popular. I was not. He was moderately cute. (I do not like him he's my best friend). As I was not. He had friends. I did not. But he was my best friend. And I was his. I knew that for sure. His name was Alexander. I call him Alex for short though. Obviously. I sat in my seat and as always everyone started talking again. I saw her. Her name was Stephanie. Wow classic. She was pretty. I already saw most of the guys swooning over her and some other chic named Jewels.
Stephanie was in my advanced Spanish class. Great. Just peachy. There weren't enough seats in class just yet so I sat on the floor against the teachers desk with my friend E.D.. He was just like me so we fought a lot. I could barely stand myself how could I stand another boy version of me?! The cherry on top of the tree is the Spanish teacher looks like mega-mind! JESUS.
•I knew better than to say this out loud.•
There was white dude in this class. I mean... He had blondish brown hair and green eyes. I stared back at him dead in the eyes. Maybe he'll quit staring.
"Okay first project of the year guys!" Everyone groaned. "Already?!" I announced. The teacher glared at me. "Yes already. There's more special to all the class because of Marie!" He exclaimed. Oh great. Not again. Every teacher knew my weakness by now. "Partners!!!" He clapped. Lovely. No but that wasn't all. I knew the next part. They were going to put me next to a preppy human. I couldn't stand working with anyone. At all. "Marie? You first! Here I'll let you pick!" There had too be a catch. I decided to take the opportunity without question but yes. I did hesitate. "Ok I choose..." I searched the class for someone I might hate the least. Alex wasn't in this class with me so I had to deal with what I had. I chose the kid with orange red hair.Axel. He seemed like the least talkative but the most cooaperative. "Axel." I said. "I Thought you would pick him..." Axel blushed. But Mr. Teacher man wasn't done here... "And so I'll get you the total opposite! Steven? You're partners with Marie." The catch. Great. The dude who was staring at me since the beginning of the period was my partner. Amazing. He's going to wanna talk and everything. "Oh and Marie? I think youre gonna like this project! Its getting to know each other! So you guys can talk and get to know each other!" He clapped. "I hate you." I told The teacher. I dispised him now. Steven looked like the most awkward guy you could meet. Hm. "Oh! I almost forgot! My name is Mr. Roman!" He finally said. Jeez its like he was asking for it! "FOR SPARTA!" I yelled out. Everyone chuckled. Even Steven. Maybe he's not so bad.
"So, um...do you..uh...What's your name? I'm Steven, I mean its not like you didn't notice that or, crap maybe you didn't! I don't think your slow at all! Crap! Wait that's not what I meant!"
Or not.
"STOP!" I said pretty loudly. He finally shut up.
"My name is Marie! I'm not fucking slow, you just don't shut up." I said again calmer.
He looked a little intimidated. Just how I like it.
Before I knew it school was over. I guess this dipshit didn't get the memo when class is over, we're not forced to talk. He was following me. FML.
"Do you need something? If you want drugs you came to the wrong person. That's Carlos." I pointed to a guy who was clearly on crack.
"Um, er- no. I don't do drugs and I never will." He stuttered.
"Of course you don't!" I chuckled.
"I'm sorry?"
"Nevermind. I hate explaining." No I just wanted to get this conversation over with.
I kept walking and he kept following.
Once we got outside I spinned on my heel and sighed.
"Do you need something? Or do you just like following people around?" I said stressfully. He looked at me innocently...like he didn't know he was following me.
"Sorry...I just zoned out I guess."
"Well its fucking creepy so I suggest you don't because if you fall off a cliff because of zoning out I'm not going to save you."
"That's a little harsh don't you think?"
"No. Its not. I'm telling the truth. J won't. And I truly couldn't care less if something happened or what you think of me." I said.
"I'm guessing you have a lot of friends?" He said like he knew me.
"HEY MARIE SORRY IM COMING!!!" Alex yelled out.
Perfect timing.
I unlocked my truck. Most peoples eyes widened even Stevens.
I always gave Alex a ride. Yes I have a truck. Yes its mine. No I bought it myself. Yes its stick.
Alex was with me when I bought it. The idiot spilled yogurt in my truck a week later.
I got in the truck and started it. I rolled down the window and said one last thing to Steven as Alex got into the truck. I stuck the middle finger out and said "Piss off my buisness motherfucker." And drove.
"What was that?" Alex asked.
"Some annoying bitch was acting like he knew me and tried to be my friend." I said as we got to a red light. I put on my sunglasses and took out my vaper. "Really?" Alex said looking at my vape. "WHAT?! Its not a cigarette and I deserve it." "Fine. Hey you wanna go to the mall?" He suggested. "Why? What do you want?" It was rare when I needed to go to the mall. Its all him. My best friend. "There's gonna be an autograph signing!" He said excitedly.
"Whose signing?" Jesus I sounded like a Mom. "Oh you know...just...THE ONE...THE ONLY! ARIANA GRANDE!" "Who told you that?"
"Some of the guys..."
I love bursting his bubble!
"They're setting you up Alex...do you honestly believe that Ariana Grande is going to come to Reseda California?" I said smacking him on the side of his head.
"...a guy can dream right?" He said shyly.
"Alex, in a year I'm not going to protect you from stupid pranks you set yourself up for... So from this point on I'm just going to listen..Im not going to beat up the bad guys for you anymore Alex. I'm doing this for you, your my best friend. Ok? So if you still wanna go...that's on you." I explained. I'm not gonna be his big bad wolf forever.
"Ok ok mother fine. How bout we just go check it out? If she's not there then we go get some candy from 'See's' ok?"
He suggested. "Fine." I sighed. "Its your funeral love."
