My Best Friend's Brother

Jerked Up

"Can you believe this," Kimberly says as we make our way down the hall to the gym, "Drew ruined my radio and mom and Dean won't even make him buy me a new one. It pisses me off. Maybe I should go steal his radio."

"Why so he could get you into trouble?" I say looking over at her.

"Well it pisses me off that they won't do anything about it." she says stomping up the stairs.

"I can't say I know how you feel but...." I say trailing off.

"Yeah." she says throwing her bag down on the bleachers and sitting down next to it.

I sit down next to her and everyone is quickly hushed by coach talking. "Any game suggestions," he says and everyone starts yelling out random things like wiffle ball and such.

"I don't think I'm gonna play today," I say looking over at Kimberly she nods her head in agreement. "Lets go ask coach if we can go down to the weight room." I say standing up and walking down the stairs.

<><><><>

We walk out of the locker room and make our way across the bleachers and down to the weight room.

"If none of the guys are down there do you want to lift a few weights," I ask Kimberly.

"Sure," she says starting to smile.

"YAY," I say walking into the room and seeing it totally deserted. "Lets lift," I say going over to the weight bench and sitting down at one with 10's on the bar. "Spot me," I say laying back and gripping the bar.

She quickly goes around behind me grabbing the middle of the bar while I proceed to push the bar up and bring it back down to my chest. I do this about ten times before we trade places and she lifts.

We move on from there over to the tread mills.

"So do you think that they are going to get you another radio or are you going to put it on your wish list for your birthday?" I ask as I push the button to increase my speed.

"I'll probably have to go buy my own new radio or hope to find one at a yard sale some time," she says.

"It's kind of my fault that it happened because the argument started over me," I say looking over at her as she slows her speed down.

"It is not your fault that he came in my room and threw the water all over it." she says pointedly, breathing fast.

"Ok well I still feel bad so I'm gonna just let you have mine," I say slowing my speed down to a fast walk.

"You don't have to do that," she says turning her tread mill off.

"I don't use it anyways, and if I want to listen to music I can just get on YouTube on the computer." I say. "And you're not going to talk me out of it either so just accept it and get it over with," I say as an after thought.

Coach comes down in the room and tells us that it is time to go dress in and reminds us to turn off the lights before disappearing back up stairs. I turn the tread mill off and wait for it to stop moving before stepping down and walking over to the light switches and flipping them all off before going up stairs and making my way over to the locker room.

We dress quickly before making our way out of the locker room and down the hall to our lockers.

"Well I guess I'll see you next hour," I say grabbing my English book and heading off to class.

"See ya," she says with a small wave.

I walk down the hall and turn the corner, running strait into someone's chest and falling down.

"Are you okay-" Andrew starts to say looking down at me, "oh it's you."

"Yeah," I say glaring up at him before grabbing my stuff and standing up.

"Well if you would watch where you're going you wouldn't have to worry about it," he says storming off.

What is his problem? Whatever I have a class to get to. I glance back at him before stalking off to my class.

I take my seat in the back of the room and open my notebook up to my doodle page, but before I can come up with my next new doodle character, I hear a bunch of commotion in the hall.

Getting out of my seat I quickly make my way to the door and look out in the hall where I find Mr. Morgan trying to wrestle Mr. Kroger off of a student. Looking down the other side of the hall I see the principal running down the hall with one of the security guards from the front door.

It takes them a couple of seconds to get him off the boy and drag him down the hall to the office while he screams some words in French.

"Attendz que je vous attrapez SEUL!"

Looking back at the boy I notice him crumpled on the floor and i quickly make my way over to him, drop down on my knees and start to check his pulse when I see the nurse running down the hall. She quickly swats me away before checking his pulse herself and looking into his eyes with her flashlight.

"Everybody go to class," she says angrily, "there is nothing to see here.

I quickly turn around and walk back into the English room and take my seat. I hardly even listen to what the teacher says because all I could think about was that poor boy being pummeled by Mr. Kroger.

Before I know it the bell has rung and I spring up out of my chair and make my way to my locker.
