Her Freed Spirit

Sappy

 As I walk to the only open seat next to the Mr. Jerk all I can think about is one thing. Why me?? Fat baby Jesus and skinny Buddha, what on the earth did I do to deserve it?  Is it cause I take Jaden's apple juice boxes and tell him the Grinch stole them?? Was it because I put pudding in Jeremiah's shoes and made him think a dog pooped in them because he ate my Captain Crunch cereal?? I know what it was. It was the time I switched Uncle Mike's shampoo with green shampoo and he had green dreads for two months. It was so funny tough!!!

"What was funny?? You being rude towards me last period." Mr. Jerk says while looking towards the front of the class.

 I look away from him before saying "I was talking to myself and I said that out loud."

 "You talk to yourself?? You are more of an air head than I though."

 I clutch my back pack tight and remind myself that people like him is not worth losing my temper over. I finally respond after a few seconds of silence. "So what I talk to myself? Its none of your concern. Just focus on sitting on your little throne thinking the entire world is beneath you. You saw me as a sob before you even got the chance to know me. If I'm a bad person that makes you a Mitch."

 He stares at me in confusion while asking "What's a Mitch?"

 "Oh for once the know it all doesn't know something?? Well if you must know a Mitch is a male b*tch." I respond ever so sweetly. Mr. Jerk looks lost for words as the teacher walks in. Our teacher is a White female that looks in her late 40's. She is only a few inches taller than me so must be 5'5. Her blond hair is cut in a bob and brings out her dark green eyes.

 "Hello class! My name is Mrs. Walker and welcome to Marine Biology. This year we will be dissecting Marine animals while learning about their anatomy. We also will be partaking in a trip to Sea World but only those who are passing this class will be able to go. We will have both group and individual projects throughout the year. We will be dissecting in pairs since there is exactly 28 students in this class. Your partners will be the person next to you right now. Now I will pass out basic information for you and your parents to know about my class." As Mrs. Walker finishes talking she begins passing out papers to us.

 "Not only do I have you for Literature but now I'm stuck with you all year long in this class. Just do your half of work and don't talk to me unless its necessary." Mr. Jerk says as he hands me a pack of papers. I don't even waste my energy responding. I read my packet and forget all about the jerk next to me. Soon enough the class ends. I walk into the hallway to see Imma, Jamal, and Tonii arguing. Before I am able to reach them I large arm snakes around my waist.

 I turn around to see the arm belongs to one of the biggest jerks in the world. Keith Brown. He's the star player on the school's basketball team. He swears he is God's gift to women and the planet. Like most people in this school, he towers over me at 6'2. His long hair is pulled back into a pony tail. His caramel skin tone only brings out his dark brown eyes. Yet again he is wearing that damn Basketball Letterman. I honestly believe he sleeps with that thing. He is such a player. Sadly I had a short relationship with this player. My gaze finally reaches his face and I can see that stupid smirk on his face. I hate that smirk. Why don't boys be normal and smile?? Its so much cuter.

 "Hello Beautiful. The summer seems to have done you some good. What size bra do you wear now, a DD?" he asks while pulling me close.

 "I know damn well you did not ask me about my bra size?" I respond while pushing his arm from around my waist.

 "I'm just enjoying the amazing view of your body. Just tell me how does it feel knowing you could have had all of this, if you had put out?" he asks invading my personal bubble.

 I put on my best smile and walk towards him while pushing up against the wall. "It feels worse than jumping off the bridge and breaking your legs. Eventually that pain would stop. But the mental torture those poor girls went through after they had sex with you has to be horrible. Luckily I had more since than to sleep with someone who calls his basketball Mr. Sexy." 

 "Ouch that hurts my. Sophia its not my fault you are a virgin and just doesn't know good I can make you feel." He says after pretending to be hurt by my words.

"Please don't mention that ever again. I almost threw up." I make gagging sounds while he shoots me the death glare. Stepping towards me he just shakes his head at me. Before he can respond Jamal steps in between us. "I gave you a warning last time I whipped your a**, but this time I will not take it easy. Step away from my sister. This is the last time I am telling you this." He says through a locked jaw.

 Keith throws his hands up in surrender and leaves after winking at me. Imma holds my hand and says "What made you date that creep for three months????" Imma, Tonii and I all turn and face Jamal. He just stands there and stretched the back of his neck awkwardly.

 "Hey I have apologized a million times for that!! I thought he was a good person when he said he was interested in you." He says which only earns eye rolls from us. I walk to Jamal and hug him. I know he didn't know Keith was a creep and I don't blame him. I thought he was a nice guy but I was so wrong. Jamal gently pushes me away before any of his football buddies can see. I guess he doesn't want to be seen as a sap.

 Jamal excite the Science Wing and head towards the Main Building. Jamal waves us a good bye and begs us to save him a seat in Cooking. The three of us just walk hand in hand towards the main building for our service class. Service is just a class where we help around the school. We could be helping the school's nurse Mrs. Thompson, helping out in the office, copying papers for teachers, sorting out the schools mail room, or just passing papers between teachers. The three o's us thought it would be good to take Service and we got lucky enough to have it during the same period.

 "Hey there are my favorite three Service workers!" Mr. Wilcox says as we enter the front office.  Mr. Wilcox is an elderly African American man. He is completely badly but in good shape. He can easily pass for 60 instead of 84. He always wears suspenders and I love that about him.

 "Hello Mr. Wilcox" we all say at the same time causing him to laugh.

 "Well today will be a free day. Just sign in and y'all can sit down and talk. Don't get to loud though." He leaves us after we sign in.

 Imma decided to break the silence by tapping my shoulder and saying "Sophy tell us about the jerk that called you and air head."

 "I have him for Literature and Marine Biology. I did not say three words to him before he judged me. Since I am pretty and dress nice he just assumed I'm one of those air heads." I responded while watching the clock on the wall.

 "Well he is a complete a**. Just because you are beautiful doesn't mean you are one of  'those girls'. You see the best in people and have a positive vibe. Your insides match your outsides. You even have a crazy side to you. He is just a jerk off if he judges you based on what you look like." Tonii says as she rubs my arm.

 I sigh and lean back in the chair. "He sees me as a popular Barbie air head. I've never been called that. People just see me as Sophia. Never an air head. I'm not the smartest person alive but I'm not dumb either."

 "Well maybe he is one of those nerds who thinks they rule the world and everyone else is beneath them. It doesn't matter because if he calls you another name we will cut him." Imma says as Tonii just nods in agreement.

 "You guys are so protective but I love it. Thank you." I say while hugging them. They are right. I'm a good person and I can not let him get to me. I don't care about his opinions and will stay to myself. I don't want to be around anyone who judges my by my looks.
