Chapter One: Rage

“Verse is not written, it is bled; Out of the poet's abstract head. Words drip the poem on the page; Out of his grief, delight and rage.”      -Paul Engle

Chapter One...

Rage...

Spring...

"Teachers and Students! As you know after the last bell rings means you're free from us for the next two weeks for Spring Break! And as you know you're favorite principal and I want to ensure you're safety so please drive safe and be careful and remember students our local law enforcement is keeping a close watch out to make sure nothing goes wrong. Now, Go out there and have fun! We'll see you back here in two weeks! GOOOOOO LIONS!"

"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! LIONS SUCK!"

"Sebastian! Please sit down! And wait until the speaker is finished! Or I will be forced to keep you here for the remainer of Spring Break..Would you like to spend Spring Break cleaning off your muddy marks on your desk and scraping the gum from everyone's desk?"

"Noooooooooooo ma'am. I'll be a good kid for 45 seconds."

"Good."

"ESSSSENCE!" The door to the classroom swung open and in rushes my mocha colored best friend, she rushed towards me and grabbed me by the wrist,"Come on! Come on! We're going to miss it!" She began to pull me out of my chair.

"Miss Sharpton! Do you mind telling me what you're doing out of class without a hallpass?"

"No time! I have to get my best friend to the office quick!"

"Sapphire! Wait! What is it?! Stop pulling me. You're killing my arm yo!"

"But Essence! Its Im-port-tant!" I took my arm away from her grip finally and grabbed my stuff. her facial expression was frantic her dark eyes widly, I have never seen Sapphire like this.

"What's happening?" I asked her but she just went back to pulling on my arm trying to drag me out of the classroom, For her to weigh like ninety something pounds she sure was strong enough to pull me out finally."Sorry Ms.Gurrea. Its a emergency!" She exclaimed back before shutting the door, She began pushing me now down the vacent hallway and I kept asking her what was happening as we turned the corner,I stopped her before we went any further.

"Sapphire! What in the hell is going on!?" She stared at me for awhile before brusting out in laughter, she doubled over holding her stomach, she laughed so hard that she fell to the floor, I just sat there dumbfounded,"You! Should! Ha! Seen! Your! Face! But, nothing is happening. I just want to get out of here so we can't get a headstart on SPRINNG BREEEEEEAKKKK BITCHES!" She threw her hands up and started her hip swaying, I just stared at her and I had such a urge to slap her straight across the face for what she did.

"Awww. Don't look at me like that..Essence,Chill it was to get you out of there." She threw her hands up in a defensive manner slowly backing away,"I'm sorry you know how I get! I get a little too excited..and...Wait..Yo. Is that Tripp...? With Isabella?...Around the corner there..?" With that 'Please..don't let it be true..' sick feeling I easily turned my body my heart pounding in my chest and sure enough, There he was disappering around the corner with the dark-haired vixen named Isabella.

......I can feel the blood dripping off my hand

As I stare at your lifeless body....

.......You where the only one that could ever understand...

Tripp has been my elementary school crush since like ever...I always liked him for some odd reason even when I knew everything about him was true. Him being a player? I'm seeing that now. Him being a total fucking tool? Again, Seening this now..Him breaking my heart into a million pieces? Every time since we got back together..People were coming up to tell me that they seen him with Kat after lunch then Jenni after school..
