Hold My Heart Like A Hand Grenade:

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun

Science was a drag as to be expected and the only thing worthy of mentioning is that when some preppy girl heard me mention that I had met Joey she nearly jumped out of her seat. "Joey Armstrong?" She said in the most innocent manner ever. It sickened me. "Uh..Yeah I guess. I mean I'm not sure what his last name is." I said, taking into consideration that it was the same as my idol's. "Well," she continued in her peppy manner as she flipped her hair, "you better stay away from him cuz he's all mine. Got it?" She looked at me like she owned me. I hated that. "Oh I got it." I replied. "You're that typical popular bitch that thinks she can have whatever she wants right? Well I hate to break it to you babe but you can't. And as far as I'm concerned Joey is single. We're just friends, but he's single." I started to turn and walk away when the girl, apparently named Jazzmine, said "Oh sweetie, you just messed with the wrong girl." I turned around to insult her but right as my feet planted on the ground I felt a sting to the face. She punshed me. SHE punched ME. Wiping a trickle of blood from my lip I said under my breath, "If my Uncle ever taught me anything it was don't throw the first punch." Then I pulled my left arm back and, while 'Jazz' was busy bragging about hitting me, I popped her one right in the jaw. Man was it hard! Then, all hell broke lose as we both swung at eachother rapidly. My hits were more precise and powerful compared to hers which were more random. The problem was there was one of me and 3 of them. Next thing I know they're holding my arms back and a circle formed around us. Just as Jazz was about to pound my face in the stupid teacher, Ms.Kellin, walked in the door. Jazz immidiatley dropped her fist and her 'crew' let go of me and, get this, the tried to make it look like I was beating the snot outa THEM! Crazy right?!? So anyways, Ms.Kellin walks in and screams for us to break it up although by then, everything was broken up. She sent all 4 of us to the principal's office which, if you ask me, was unfair and stupid. For one it would be three girls word against one and I was new so this was no good way to start the year. For two we coulda beat the snot outa eachother in the hall! What dumb nut teacher sends kid who were just fighting to the principals office ALONE! God I hate science....

Luckily a few classes down was Joey's. I didn't know that but Jazz just had to stop and get his attention. (Pathetic right?) Anways Joey was totally ignoring her but when he seen me walk by his eyes shot up. Jazz started saying things like, "Did you see that? He raised his eyes at me! He so wants me." She began flipping her hair madly and, when she seen him walking toward the door, she began to ask how she looked. Under my breath I said "As beautiful as a cow's ass." Just loud enough for her to hear. She glared at me and said "Hey now! Don't be jealous because Joey's worried about me and couldn't care less about you." I didn't reply to this because although I was almost positive Joey was coming out to see me, I coulnd't he sure. Plus if he was it would be all the more surprising for her. Within seconds Joey burst through the door and, as Jazz opened her arms for a hug, he walk right past her to me! I couldn't believe it! Me! I tried to hide my smile and excitement which is pretty easy to do when your face is bloody but it still shown through a little. I looked down at the ground embarrassed. Joey rushed over and gently lifted my chin. He looked me dead in the eyes and said "How the hell am I supposed to call you if you get yourself killed before the first day's even over." He said it in a grim but comical way that made me grin. His eyes sparkled at the sight of my happiness and he asked if I was ok and what happened. We began to walk to the prinicpals although Joey half carried me there even though not much was wrong with my legs. I told him what happened only occasionally being interupted by Jazz in her horrible attempt at flirting with him. "Sorry about her." He said in a hushed tone and explained that she's had the biggest obbsessive crush on him since 7th grade. He told me they used to be close friends, until that happened. I asked him how he got out of class so easily and why he wasn't at all in a hurry to return and he simply said "I know what I'm doing." With a mysterious smirk. I noticed his pass said 'assisting' on it and my curiosity carried further but then, I didn't want to anger him so, I dropped it.
