The Scientific Jerk

Chapter Thirty

Josh. Let me give you a little history behind Josh.

It's started in Eighth Grade. We we're five friends. Katie, Taylor, Shawn, Josh, and me.

We all met like the way people do in movies. Ours was more like The Breakfast Club.

It was us five and we had afterschool detention. We knew eachother but hadn't really talked.

The teacher told us she's got a meeting with other teachers and that she will come back soon.

I sat in the middle of the classroom. Josh sat behind a seat next to me. He kept tugging at my hair. And every time I turned, he winked.

Josh was tall and had perfect dark hair and nice green eyes. And his cologne was so strong that I could smell it every time he came closer to tug my hair.

Katie sat in the very back corner. Shawn couldn't decide where to sit to he moved seats multiple times. And Taylor was in the front, where the radio was.

Right when the teacher left, Shawn got up and stood on the desk. "Are we locked?" He asked.

Josh threw his head back and shot a pencil towards the ceiling. "Yep," he said.

"Shit," said Shawn.

That's when Taylor got up and walked towards the radio and turned it on. We all started bobbing our heads to the best of the music.

"You all like this station?" She asked. We all agreed.

From the back of the classroom, Katie announced, "I have Scotch you guys." She yelled it as if she was holding a secret in for so long that she had to let it out. Which was sort of what happened.

Josh and Shawn were the first ones to head towards her. "Nice, let me have some," said Shawn.

Katie pulled out three bottles of scotch from her bag.

Taylor too was walking towards her so I went too. We all drank. And when one of the bottle was finished, we played spin the bottle.

We all sat in a circle, passing around the scotch.

Josh sat next to me.

We would burst out laughing out of nowhere. Or get so tired for a moment. At least I did. The scotch seemed strong.

"Okay!" Said Josh. "Jackie, truth or dare?" He said.

Taylor squinted her eyes at him. "My name is Taylor" she said.

We made crazy dares. Such as steal the most stuff from the teachers desk. Or break the small window.

Once, when it was someone else's turn, Josh whispered in my ear.

"How did you get detention?" I was about to reply when Shawn interrupted.

"I heard that! Yeah Allichip, how did you get in here?"

I ran my fingers through my hair. I was really dizzy.
"I ripped Haile Wile's dress. Because I don't like her, I just don't."

Taylor nodded smiling. "Good! I hate that skank!"

Then we all told eachother why we were here.

Then the radio played some European music and it sounded really good.

"Let's dance man!" Said Shawn. He reached his hand out to Taylor. She got up as began to dance.

And Josh got up. He put out his hands for me. We both danced for a second before we realized that Katie was still sitting on the floor.

Josh winked at me and put a hand out for Katie. She happily took it and we danced.

And then we went back to the game.

I could feel the room spinning.

The music was loud and we played for a long time. Midway through the game, when the janitor passed by, we switched from the scotch bottle to a regular water bottle.

So we continued playing. When it was Katie's turn she smiled and dared Josh. "Kiss any girl you like," she said, "In this room I mean."

We all sat and waited. I could tell Katie liked him and was hoping it was her that he would kiss.

But it wasn't. It wasn't Taylor either.

It was me. Out of nowhere! Josh was my first kiss.
