Me and Gordie walked over to Chris and sat next to him, i was in the middle of them "Maybe you could go into the College-courses with me" Gordie said and Chris sighed "That'll be the day" Chris chuckled. I looked at the dirt. Invisible once again.
"Why not you're smart enough." Gordie said and Chris looked at the ground to "They won't let me" he shrugged
"It's the way people think of my family in this town. It's the way they think of me. Just one of those lowlife Chambers-kids." Chris said and i was taken back, Ouch. I chuckled and shook my head "Just prove em wrong Chris." I said and they looked at me, like, they were shocked i talked "What? I proved you guys i'm not a pussy. Because i'm girl" i shrugged and Chris huffed "If i were that easy Haze, I wish you could see what i see. People look at me like they do Ace or Eyeball" He sniffled "That's not true" Gordie defended "Oh it is. No one even asked me if I took the milkmoney that time. I just got a three-day vacation." Chris said with sadness in his voice.
Chris was breaking
"Did you take it?" Gordie swallowed "Yeah I took it. You knew I took it. Teddy knew I took it. Everyone knew I took it. Even Vern knew it I think. Maybe I was sorry and I tried to give it back" Chris said with anger in his voice "You tried to give it back?" Gordie asked surprised "Maybe, just maybe. And maybe I took it to Old Lady Simons and told her. And the money was all there. But I still got a three-day vacation because it never showed up. And maybe the next week Old lady Simons had that brand new skirt on when she came to school" Chris cried. I have never seen him like this
"Yeah, yeah. It was brown and had dots on it!" Gordie said sitting up "Yeah. So let's just say that I stole the milk money but Old Lady Simons stole it back from me. Just suppose that I told the story. Me, Chris Chambers, kid brother of the Eyeball Chambers. You think that anybody would have believed it?" Chris asked and i gulped "Huh? What about you Haze? If you had to deal with this, you think they would believe you?" Chris asked me, i looked down. Tears were threatening my eyes "Gordie?" He asked
"No." Gordie said and looked down "And d'you think that that bitch would have dared try something like that if it would have been one of those dootch bags from up on The View if they had taken the money?" Chris asked getting more angry "No way!" Gordie said angrily but a bit louder
"Oh no! But with me! I'm sure she had her eyes on that skirt for a long time. Anyway she saw her chance and she took it. I was the stupid one for even trying to give it back. I never thought - I never thought that a teacher-- Oh who gives a fuck anyway?" Chris cried and put his head on his arms. I swallowed the lump in my throat, a single tear falling out of my eye "Chris I--" he cut me off but didn't look up "You don't count Haze, You are my sister your forced to love me" He cried. I sat in front of me "I'm not forced to. I do love you. You are my best friend Chris. You know why?" He looked up
"Because the girls at my school are scarred of me. They think i'm to much of a hood. Like everyone else in the family. But you know what? I say fuck it, my brother is all i need. Even when i feel invisible in front of his friends" i said and he gulped "They're your friends to Haze" He tried to change my mind. I sat next to him "Right, they only like me because i'm your sister" I frowned and he sighed "You have a chance Haze your smart, You can leave here and no one know who you are. You stay here you will be like the rest of us. I wish i could, I just wish i would go somewhere, where know one knows who i am"
