When Love is all that Matters By: Lonnie Smith

Chapter 2: When Fate First Met

I had just got to my school Rosewood High school. I was walking in the hallway to go to my locker and Carter Bigman ( The school bully) stopped next to me and said," Don't give me that look Larp." " I told you Carter don't call me by last name!" Carter came up to me and pushed me to the ground, I wanted to get up, but I just didn't have the drive to do it, I just didn't care anymore. It seemed like all the people in the school were staring at me in the hallway. I decided to just keep my head down and keep to myself, like I always do.

My first class was biology, I honestly hated biology. To me biology was just a waste of time so I really didn't pay attention. I sat down and my lab partner was this girl named Scarlet Smith, she was the most BEAUTIFUL girl I have ever met, and as a plus she was really nice. I never had the confidence to get up and talk to her, but now I don't know why I just went up and talked to her." Hey" I said surprisingly not trembling with fear she replied with, "Hi, how are you?"" Good, what about you?"" I am alright I guess, just wishing I can go outside and smoke a cigarette."" Yea I have smoked before. It really takes a lot off of me" I lied hoping to get some respect." I didn't know you smoked, that's cool." I am literally dying inside wondering what is wrong with me." You want to meet up after school, and you know maybe smoke or just hang?" I replied with," Yea sounds fun." My lies have gotten me into some big trouble, they always do.

This is the new me, I am in biology, not thinking about biology, not thinking about the decision I have just made that could change my life, but instead thinking about her beautiful face: her blue eyes, beautiful brown hair that has just the right touch to draw you in, and her just great adventurous non worrisome attitude. It is all I wanted in a women. The reason why this draws me in is because these are all of the things I don't have. All of her good qualities have covered up the bad qualities, it was like they weren't there. While caught up in my own thoughts next thing I know the bell rang for second hour and Scarlet said as she got up," See you then." I said," See you." I walked out of the classroom and my teacher said," Jimmy, don't forget to study for your next test, you bombed your last one." I just walked off and said," Okay."
"Hey Jimmy." said Scarlet." Hi" I replied full of nerves as we were walking to the back of the school asking for trouble. She held out a cigarette and said," Do you want one, it really relieves stress."" Sure I have lots of stress to get rid of."I then put the cigarette in my mouth and puffed out some smoke, it was like I puffed out a big bundle of stress. I started to like it as I kept smoking, this is me this is a start to a deep dark hole that I won't be able to get out of, this is more than just a little mistake, but I knew that.

This is all when I start to remember. I see my dad smoking, it was normal by then. I hated that he did it, it smelled really bad and gave me stress because it changed him, him and Mom started to fight more, then he started drinking and not showing up at the house for days, but I forgave him, at least I thought, it was harder than I thought. I remember punching the wall, throwing my dad's good watches away and blaming it on Greg, and most of all I remember yelling," I HATE YOU!" for the first time to my dad. I never really forgave him. That is when I started to get really into school because I thought I could make a better life for myself. I started to do more activities outside of school so I wouldn't have to go home and see my dad. I didn't like any of the clubs I joined, but it was worth it. I remember coming home one day and my dad was sitting on a reclining chair smoking and drinking as usual, but today it clicked something, I felt so angry. I went to my dad i grabbed his beer bottle and threw it across the room and yelled. I then slapped him across his pasty drunk face. He got up, he was livid, he came up to me, punched me across my face 10 times harder than I slapped him. I fell to the ground and for the first time ever I cussed, I don't even want to remember what I said to him.

Scarlet looked at me and said," Are you okay?" I said," I guess, smoking really does relieve stress." Scarlet then replied," I know I think we should do his more often.""Me too." This time I wasn't lying.
