Memories

Felix De la Rosa

I now sat in the backseat of my Uber. The ride was silent, the driver didn't speak to me and I didn't speak to him. I stared out the window. The streets were quiet and roads empty. I contemplated on what I would do now that I found Samuel's "special bag". If I turned him into the police, they'd probably tell me I don't have enough evidence to prove the drugs are his. After all, I really don't. The bag just says "S.V.", Samuel Valencia, or at least that's what I think it stands for.

I put my head back on the headrest and closed my eyes to focus on the situation at hand. Should I tell Susanna about what her boyfriend left at the house? Nah, she doesn't care about his drug addiction. I can't go to the police either. So what could I do with this little treat of his?

My lips curved upwards as I finally thought of the perfect plan. A plan sure to destroy both Susanna's and Samuel's lives.

It was now Monday morning. It was passing period to 2nd period, stupid Social Studies, and I had a plan in mind. I had to find Samuel and tell him that he left his sweet treat behind.

Oh wait, he was probably still mad at me because of Friday night and everything I said huh? Well, guess I'll have to deal with that too.

I scanned the overcrowded halls for that ugly, scratched up face of his.

Damn, where is he?

After about 3 laps around the hallways I finally found him. He was talking with one of his friends. Dang I guess he does have friends!

I walked up to him and as I did, noticed the slight bruising surrounding his eye. Haha, guess I do pack a mean punch. He didn't look up at me until I stood right in front of him, finally noticing me.

"We need to talk." I say, dragging him by the arm into a spot in the hallway less crowded.

"Let go of me, weirdo." He said, trying to make me let go of his arm.

"What do you want dude? Another black eye?" He asked, stepping closer to me.

I scoffed, "Please! Don't act all tough. Especially since you left me something the other day that could get you in a lot of trouble!" I teased him.

His eyebrows furrowed together, confused.

"C'mon, don't act like you don't remember what you left me the other day?" I chuckled.

"Stop playing games with me I swear I'll fuck you up again." He said, raising his arm.

I caught his arm, stopping it before it managed to hit my handsome face.

"I'm talking about your fent! Those tasty colorful little things!" I laughed in his face.

I swear, steam was about to come out of his ears he was so pissed.

"Dude, give those back, I swear to fuck." He demanded.

"What's the magic word?" I said, letting go of his arm. "Nah just kidding. I don't want you to beg for it. I want you to do something else for me." I finished.

"Shut up dude I don't owe you shit. Now give it back before I really beat the shit out of you." He said, grabbing the collar of my shirt and pulling me closer to him.

"That's really close, Sammy!" I back up from him. "So, you want your fent back or not?".

It was now lunchtime, I headed for the lunch line and picked up a tray of more greasy pizza. I sat down at the table where Jaiden, Luis, Edward and I all sat. I hadn't seen them since 2 days ago when they woke up to me and Samuel fighting. They haven't really reached out either.
