Her Freed Spirit

A shot of Whipped Cream

 The bell rings and now it is lunch time. Imma heads to our usual spot as me and Tonii grab lunch for the three od us. Lunch time at Middleton can be full of dramatics if the little cliques had problems, full of torture if the Librarian decided to read her attempt of a sequel to Harry Potter, or a full blown out riot if there is no more pizza. Imma, Tonii and I use this time to catch us and just chill. Although Imma is a cheerleader she never sits with them during lunch. Tonii is apart of the drama club and she refuses to spend more time with them than necessary. She says it's because 'they treat real life like a reality show for stupid people'. We have out little table outside near a big oak tree that gives us shade. If its one thing you ever learn about Tonii, its that she hates being hot. Our little wooden table is perfect. We can see the other tables and the entrance and exit to the Cafeteria. Imma choose this table because she always needs to see the drama unfold. Just like her nosy as hell.

 While standing in line we spot Jamal heading towards us with three trays in his hand. "Here I got you three lunch. I managed to get the most cheesiest slices of pizza with the biggest sugar cookies" He says smiling as he gives us the food.

 "Thanks Jamal! I love you bro." I say as I turn to leave. He walks back toward his table. It has most of the football players there and a few girls drooling over them as if they are chocolate. Heading towards out table we see a male figure talking to Imma. She doesn't seem ready to kill someone so she must know him. Getting closer I can the outline of the person. He's white with sandy red/brown in loose curls. A red Kiss shirt and Baggy jeans. He reaches up to ruffle his hair and I see the Dragon Ball tattoo. Its Spenser!!!! Tonii must see know its him to.

 Before I know it Tonii is in a full blown sprint towards him. She puts the trays on the table then jumps on his back yelling "MY SPENSY WENCY IS BACK!!!!" I reach the table to see Spenser is barely able to breath.

 "Tonii....I....can't....breath!" he struggles to say as he pries her arms from around his neck and places her on the floor. He wraps Tonii in a huge bear hug. He turns to me and I see the smile I have missed for the last 6 months. He walks over to me and I jump in his arms. After a long minute of hugging he releases me but still stands close to me inspecting me to see if I have changed. "Nice to see you are still short. After 6 months I thought you might have grown but happily you haven't." I slap his chest earning a laugh from all there of my friends. He sits down next to Imma and steals her milk. Me and Tonii on the other side and we all start eating lunch.

 "How was Cali?" Tonii asks through bites of her pizza. "Cali was Cali. It was cool and fun but nothing like good old Miami." He shrugs like its nothing important. Spenser's grandmother suddenly died three months before school ended last year. His parents and him immediately had to fly over there to get her stuff settles out. Because his grades are amazing he was able to do online school to finish the school year strong. Spenser is the male best friend in the group. He's amazing, loving, kind, and gay.  He isn't two ginger snaps with a shot of whipped cream flamboyant. Wait he's a Ginger so he might be a ginger snap. Ha ha I made a funny. He only tells people who he really trusts about his sexuality. He told us about 2 years ago and we never cared. What he likes doesn't change the person he is. His parents are supportive and even joined a group for parents with children who like the same sex.

 "So did you met and sexy Cali boys?" Imma asks while making suggestive hand movements.

 We all laugh at her directness. Spenser stops laughing and answers her "Actually I did. His name is Max. We had fun while it lasted but now I'm back here with you all. Maybe I can find someone here."

 "You will. You're amazing. Hell if I had a penis and was into dudes, I would f*ck you in a heartbeat" Imma says while patting him on the back. We all stare at her like she is crazy. We laugh to tears as Imma eats her pizza like she said nothing funny. Lunch continues with Spenser sharing stories about California, Tonii telling us about her pervy Anatomy teacher, Imma cursing Ray for looking attractive, and me just paying attention to my crazy friends. Lunch ends and Spenser leaves because he only has 4 classes at the high school and he is off to his part time job.
