Living in Drama

Chapter 7

Classes passed, and I haven't learned a thing. I might've heard some parts of the lesson, but it seemed like total gibberish. The offering to be with the plastics... the idea kept buzzing around in my head. That wasn't the only idea. I was thinking about what Gabe said. He said Kenan had something to say about the plastics. I hope it was good news... but, what if its bad?

There was another teensy weensy idea maybe flying around in my head... Jason. I couldn't stop thinking about him. I hate to say this cheesy line but, he's so dreamy!! I wanted to dive into the pools of brilliant blue that were his eyes. I want him to hug me with his warm arms and stay like that forever and ever and-

The last bell of the day rang.

Gabe and I walked to the back of the school. We walked through the football field, where the football team was practicing. The cheerleaders were practicing too. Carol was on the squad. So was Taylor, and I'm guessing she's cheer captain. Stefon was on the bleachers. Sometimes he watched the cheer squad, but he mostly looked at the football players.

We got to the end of the field, and got to the other side of the chain-link fence. The bus was here and we got on.

We got home. "Hi, Clarrise!" said Gabe

"Hi, hun," my mom said winking. "How was school, guys?"

"It went better than expected!" He said.

"How about you, Nicki?"

"Well, some was good, and the rest, I'm not sure..."

"Darling, you had school for a whole day and you're telling me," she turned around waving a wooden spoon, "That you DON'T know?"

"That's EXACTLY what I said, mom," I said, grabbing fudge Pop-Tarts for Gabe and I. "I don't know because, you see, I'm not sure whether its good or bad. I'll find out tommorow". And with that, I left upstairs. Even though I didn't look back, I knew my mom had her puzzled face on.

We put our bookbags on the floor and hopped on to the bed.

We opened our packets of Pop-Tarts and just sat there for a couple of seconds then I realized I forgot something. The music! How could I forget?! I put the Pop-Tart inbetween my teeth and went to grab my laptop. I did my absolute best to resist the temptation of biting my Pop-Tart so it won't break and fall. I grabbed it and put it on my bed and as soon as I let go, I grabbed the Pop-Tart while taking a bite from it. SUCCESS!!!

I opened up my laptop and of course, my desktop is The Beatles. I opened up YouTube and put on Strawberry Fields Forever by The Beatles. One of the great things about Gabe is we like the exact same type of music. We're HUGE Beatles fans. And we listen to some other stuff. We listen to Maroon 5 sometimes. When we get sentimental, emotional, or sad, we listen to things like:

●Total Eclipse of the Heart - Bonnie Tyler

●Maybe I'm amazed - Paul McCartney

●Imagine - John Lennon

●Let it be - The Beatles

●Hey Jude - The Beatles

●Ride - Lana Del Rey

●Born to die -Lana Del Rey

●Blue Jeans - Lana Del Rey

●Skyfall - Adele

●Yesterday - The Beatles

●In My Life - The Beatles

●Secrets - One Republic

And when we're in a good mood, we listen to a lot of rock and stuff like:

●You Give Love a Bad Name - Bon Jovi
