I wasn't anything special at school. Just the school drummer. My friends were all either go lucky kids or golden boys and girls but me? Just the drummer. I didn't have a big title or anything but everyone here at Muran High had some made up name. Take my friend Andy, he wasn't a big geek or anything but he loved science so he go the nickname Andy The Science Boy or my friend Christie who had the name Cheerleader Fat Face. Nothing changed and time went by. Everything was all the same with the jocks and the cool kids. I was one of the kids who didn't have it so bad unless you call Mindy Coran a goody tue shoes. She was always making up names and gossip but she thought I was stupid, so she felt bad for me and started calling me drummer murmur. Then it got old to her so she just called me plain drummer and let me be. My problem was this, I didn't really like drumming and I didn't even play though I was in chorus. Everyone here has their title that fits them and that's that. But me, noo I just get called drummer out of the blue because I'm just that kid that doesn't fit, doesn't belong. It was lunch period that topic was brought up again, yeah the drummer.
"So why do you care so much about a nickname Christie sighed. It's just a school title and you don't really care all about team spirit or anything so why does it matter? Look just be happy you aren't called Loser Mc Shoe Girl. I mean, Mindy let you off the hook but I guess she got bored using you as a play toy" she said giving me a shrug of the shoulders.
"I hate it when your so honest Chrissy. You always have to make some side comment that just ruins it I said taking a bite of my apple. And I said in between bites, it-doesn't-matter-but-it's-self-confidence-that-I'm-losing". I tossed the apple in the trash scoring a basket. "Woohoo!! Go losers" I said smacking the air in a high five. Mindy looked my way sneering at me and flipping her glossy black hair over her shoulder. She turned to her posse and whispered some stuff to them as they all threw fries at me. "Good luck with that freak" she laughed turning her full attention away from me.
I turned my back on her "Bitch, I muttered". I flopped my feet up onto the table lazily as Andy and Christie talked to some of the jocks and cheerleaders. "And so like, it was so much fun and he totally invited me to prom" blabbed Chrissy.
"Oh my god, yes that hockey tournament was BEAST! Did you see that score he made, it was like impossible!!" Andy said stunned in excitement. "Uhh, guys.. you know that I'm still here at the table righttt. They both talked on and on about how fun and awesome their lives were. I had told you before that Andy and Christie are like the golden go lucky boy and girl, leading the popular kids and e.c.t. But Mindy had her own group and those kids were just plain off nasty. "Freak" I mouthed to Mindy as she turned my way and stamped over to me. "OH, look what the cat dragged in she said crossing her arms over her chest. TRASH she screamed in my ear. Hahha aren't I funny she said flattering herself. Anyways, my posse and I decided that your new nickname is Nobody, enjoy your life nobody" she said testing it out. She walked away swinging her hips and smiling in triumph. She did the flip of her hair and I guess that's what set me off and ticked me off.
The next thing I know I pounce on her and rip at her hair. Off slides a black wig exposing prettier and longer hair. She falls to the ground hissing at me and throwing me away. "Damn you", she screams half across the hall. She stamps her arms as she flails and kicks the ground. I stare at her dumbfounded. What's the point of wearing a wig if you have hair I thought giving her a blank stare. She clawed at me almost reading my thoughts, "It's so that I don't have to deal with people touching my hair all of the time and ooing and awing over hair, besides, it's not that big a deal but I don't think you would understand..."
The teachers look up and scold her as they come over and yell at her even more. "Don't do that Mrs.Finely warned. If you do, your going to the princapble and you know that cursing is not allowed Miss.Coran. I'm going to have to report this as a teacher duty and always treat others the way they want to be treated she said loudly, now apologize to Miss.Leavne and tell her how dearly sorry you are". She patted her foot patiently now starting to glare at her. "I'm waiting Mindy she said glancing at me. Is it really that hard"?
Mindy stared longg and hard at me as time seemed to slow down. "Aww, I'm sorry Mrs. Finely but FUCK YOU!! and Aurora, I'm dearly sorry, NOT". She threw apple sauce in my hair making the blond turn a yucky brown. "FREAK" she yelled as she ran down the hall. I watched her in amazement as Mrs.Finely was bright red like a tomato. Oh god, not again I thought looking at the ground.
"DENTION CORAN!! Mrs.Finely yelled down to Mindy. "Well, As long as I'm happy that's nothing" she sneered as she went out the doors of the cafeteria and to some place I call hell. Gym I thought rolling my eyes and gathering my stuff.
