Lip rings and other things

Converses

I sat back staring at the blank chalk board and as usual, zoning people out. I bit my lip as I tried to remember where I placed my lunch money...or if I even brought lunch money.

"Paloma" I heard my name being called. I sucked my teeth and prepared myself to go back to reality. I came face to face with an angry little red headed teacher.

"Ms. Moran you cannot zone these lessons out they are for your future needs!!" She yelled as she tapped at the white board filled with notes. I rolled my eyes and pointed the the white board.

"As if we need to learn about Pontiac's rebellion so it can pay our rent or daily needs Ms. Lawrence" I replied quite bored. Her faced turned red and I sighed covering my ears getting up before she even said anything.

"PRINCIPLES OFFICE NOW!!" She screamed I sucked my teeth again and grabbed my book bag while taking the white pass.

"Goodbye Ms. Lawrence" I sang in a sweet voice while walking out of the classroom. I laughed once I walked out and stopped at room 314. I stood there trying to look for my best friend Vic. I tapped lightly on the window of the door knowing he sat closest to the door.

"May I go to the bathroom Mr. Peterson?" I heard his voice say. The chair squeaked and I ducked walking across to the other side of the door not wanting the teacher to see me. The door smashed into the wall where I was standing two seconds of go.

"Helloooooo" Vic said while smiling. I glared at him and waved the white paper in his face. He sighed and shook his head.

"Look Pal you have to cut that crap out. You're smart but you really need to focus on your future." He said as we walked down the hall.

"Oh. My. God. That was the worst speech I ever heard from Vic. Where's my Vic, come baccckkkk" I screamed running down the hall.

"Jesus Pal shut up class is still going on!" Vic breathlessly said once he caught up to me. I laughed and twirled walking down the stairs.

"No fun Vic. Come on lighten up its just sophomore year" I calmly said patting his head. He glared at me and poked my cheek.

"It goes by quickly Pal." He said while opening the door for me. I nodded my head and walked through the door. We kept walking in silence until we reached the principles office.

"Pray for me Vic" I pleaded dramatically. He shook his head hiding his face. I pouted and poked his rib cage.

"Come onnnnnnnnnnn pleaseeeeee" he laughed and poked my forehead the nodded his head.

"Yes fine whatever just go in and be a strong little dove like you always are." He said while pushing me towards the door.

"That's ironic, a dove isn't strong it can easily die. Thanks for the confidence" I said a bit mad pushing the door open. I walked inside and quickly bumped into someone.

"Sorry" that someone mumbled. I rubbed my forehead and glared at him. He looked at the floor and shifted uncomfortably away from me. I coughed and cleared my throat.

"Oh" he quietly said and moved from my path. I laughed and rolled my eyes walking towards the front desk. I turned back to get a good look at him.

"Next time when you walk straight into someone's path try not making it awkward okay!?" I yelled. He looked back making his eyes meet mine. I caught my breathe and quickly looked down before he stared. I looked at his shoes and smiled a bit. Then he walked away.

"What are you here for now sugar?" Ms. Kelly said a bit concerned. I handed her the white paper and shrugged.

"She got mad at me for saying something so truthful" I quietly said taking a seat. Suddenly, the door bursted open with a running nurse.

"Where did Roe go to?" She asked a bit out of breathe. Roe? Who's roe? Ms. Kelly pointed out the door and the nurse began to run again in the direction where I bumped into the kid. It's probably him...Roe. I smiled and looked back up at the ceiling and thought about his shoes.

I sighed trying not to laugh at the coincidence. Funny I have the same converses on.
