Teen Heart Throbs Suck

Chapter 10

I sighed as I lifted the hard back copy of To Kill a Mockingbird and placed it on a shelf.

I was startled when a voice spoke from behind me.

"That's Not where That goes you know."

I turned to see a tan,dark haired girl with two giant brown eyes hauling around a book cart.

"It goes in fiction dip shit." She said gesturing at the sign above the shelf.

I look above me to see That I was, in fact putting the novel in Nonfiction.

The girl sighed, holding out a firm hand.

"Jennifer Cruz, what's your name dip shit?"

"Mason Parkway, and I'm Not a dip shit,"

"Of course you aren't, your just plain special."

I glared at her for a second,before she burst into laughter.

A forty-somthing librarian with her hair tied into a tight pony tail and red-rimmed glasses put a finger to her lips.

Jennifer piped down a bit but still smirked.

"Wait...your last name Is Cruz?" I asked in sudden relazation.

She nodded.

"You're the principal's daughter!"

Jennifer rolled her large eyes.

"And you are the Guy who kicked the shit out of Mark, what else Is new?"

My face went pink at the fact That she brought up the fight.

I averted My eyes to find the clock, which read 4:00 meaninh My shift was over.

"I-I gotta go." I say speed walking away from a still smirking Jennifer.

Just as I was about to step over the door MAT I looked back. Jennifer looked at me with a, Go-on-dip-shit-get-out, look waving me out the door.

I stepped out into the brisk wind.

The concrete crushed below My old tennis sneakers.
**
I dropped My Jansport bag on the floor closing the front door behind me.

The walk had taken me about an hour because I had gotton so side tracked That I went the wrong way back home.

According to My watch it was 5:05.

I jumped when suddenly Nathan rushed down the srairs and jumped on me.

"Ow!"

Nathan shooshed me by putting a stirn finger on My lips.

"We have more pressing matters than your pain stupid!" He exclaimed.

I rolled My eyes. "Its My last day of library duty and I'm tired, and you need to get off me."

He just pulled me up and led me to his room.

Ludus sat next to the window.

Before I could ask what in the hell she was doing here, I noticed a sound.

It came from the window, so I paced over. As soon as I looked out, I wished I hadn't.

There was Mark strumming a guitar singing every cheesy love song imaginable.

"What the hell Is That about?" I asked Nathan.

"He wants to get back with your brother." Ludus answered staring at her phone screen.

"But I don't want to." Nathan added. I nodded in understanding.

I ran to the refrigerater and began searching.

Nathan followed me a puzzled look displayed on his face.

"I have a plan." I said, stuffing the contents of the tray into a bucket.
**
"Oh Marky," Nathan fake swooned.
"Of course I'll get back with you, in favt I have a gift, wait right there."

He said, according to plan.

He grabbed the bucket before,coming back to the window.

Mark smiled on the back porch's grass, Not seeing the bucket hidden behind Nathan's back.

Mark lookid up opening his mouth to song again, once he did Nathan threw the contents of the bucket onto him.

"You Mark are a pompus asshole." Nathan said shutting the window.
