The Job Hunt

Chapter 3: The Note

"Brent! Brent! Brent!" I yell running towards him, "look at what I got in my locker!" I say holding up the note.

He looked up from his phone an straightened his posture. "Cool."

"Cool? Cool?! Is that all you can say?!" I was honestly hurt. Everyone tended to avoid me because I was too loud or I was too weird. This was the first time I had gotten a note and I'm so excited about it.

Brent saw the hurt in my eyes and fixed his mistake up quickly. "Uh... I mean... Like oh em geee!" He says in a high pitched voice," you are gonna totes be so pop!"

I rolled my eyes at his attempt to imitate me but I smile anyways. He sure does know how to cheer me up.

"C'mon! I'm starving. Pix probably thinks we died or got kidnapped or something. You know I never miss lunch. No matter how bad and terrible the school lunch is, it is food. And food is life."

As we were walking down the hall, I saw Pix with headphones on and bobbing her head up and down to the music.

"Pix!" I yell running to her. Sadly, I didn't stop in time and I ended up tackling her to the ground,"look!" I say holding up the folded note.

"Oh yippee, a piece of paper." She says sarcastically.

"No! It's a note I found in my locker. Let's all read it together!" I got off of Pix and motioned Brent to come and sit on the other side of me.

You are specially invited to Richard Payne's Pool Party!

Party starts at 7 tonight and you are welcomed to bring any friends.

Remember to bring a bathing suit if you intend to swim.

Looking forward to see you there!

-R.P.

"Richard Payne, as in The Richard Payne?" Brent says obviously surprised.

"He probably just wants to get in your pants." Pix says warning me.

"Well duh, he's also known as the biggest fuckboy in our school. But still! This is the first party I have been invited to!"

Pix sighs and thinks for a moment. "Okay, but I'm going with you and so is Brent."

"Heyyy, who says so? I have plans today!" Brent says defensively.

"Like what?"

"Like going to that coffee shop and checking out the guy who works there!"

"There's gonna be plenty of cute guys going to Richard's Pool Party. And they are going to be half naked." She says trying to convince him. By the look of his face you would've thought he had won a million dollars.

Oh that reminds me. Brent is gay. In case you haven't figured out. He goes for the other team.

Ahhh I remember the day he came out to us.

(Magical twinkling sounds for flashback)

Pix and I were just making homemade s'mores with candles. Don't worry, they were vanilla scented so the smell didn't affect the taste.

Brent walks into the room with huge bags under his eyes and his hair was all messed up.

"Um... Hey.... I need to tell you something." He said nervously.

We both looked at him waiting for him to continue.

He sucked in a deep breath of air. "Man... It's so hard to tell you this. But um.... I'm gay."

I blinked and looked at him for a second until going back to cooking a marshmallow on the candle flame.

"ok."

"Ok? Your fine with this? We're still friends?" He says cautiously.

I look back at him and smile. "I don't care if you like girls or boys, dogs or cats, or even fat baby hippos. I won't judge you. And yes. We are still friends and we will always be friends. But I will judge you on one thing. You better still like Llamas or else I'm going to chop your hair off."

He gasped in horror "Not my hair!"

We all bursted out in laughter until Pix yelled out FIRE! My marshmallow had caught on fire burned the whole entire bag of marshmallows.

While I was hyperventilating and Brent was screaming his ass off, Pix was the only calm one who got the fire extinguisher and out out the fire.

Once we all regained ourselves, I went over and picked up one of the burnt marshmallows.

"You were so young. So beautiful. And I didn't even get to eat you yet." I sniffed,"Rest in peace."

"Hey it's ok. Let's go to the store and get more marshmallows. You can even get the colorful ones." He says patting me on the back.

My mood lifted immediately and I hugged him. Pix soon joined the hug and we were all just standing there like idiots hugging each other.

(More magical twinkling sounds to go back to reality)
