Midnight Doesn't Last Forever

Chapter 9

After Harry and I went back inside to put our guitars away Mr.Gotran called us over to his desk.

"I know that this class isn't the most uptight and it doesn't have very many rules but you both know that one of my rules is obidience. It's disrespectful to refuse to do as your elders and supervisors tell you. I'm ok with you haveing a nice laugh here and there but when I tell you to stop you stop. Are we clear?"

I could sense that Harry was beginning to get irritated as he looked at Mr.G and spoke in the rudest possible tone. "No. It's not clear, I'll laugh when something funny is said, I'll listen when there is something worth listening to. And sir, you're not worth listening to."

"Alright then, Harry you can have a detention, maybe it'll give you some time to think about where you want your next piercing. Do you have anything to say?" he asked looking at me. Mr. Gotran would usually dismiss me assuming that Harry was just a bad influence and tomorrow I would rid myself of his presence. But he could tell I was getting wound up from the way he spoke to Harry about his body jewelry. He wanted to prove to Harry that I was going to back down and leave Harry high and dry just so I wouldn't get in some trouble.

What Mr.G wasn't aware of was what a loyal friend I am. "Actually, Martin," he was surprised by my tone and the fact that I disrespectfully used his first name," I think I would like some time to contemplate the placement of my next ear peircing. Also, Im not going to apologize for laughing because the joke was quite funny. If you wanna hear it, just look in a mirror." I wasn't surprised by the intensity and seriousness of my outburst but more surprised by how perfectly I had put together my 'come back' on the fly.

Harry was just as taken back as the teacher, they both looked at me, shocked that I had said something so insulting. I had just called him a joke..I didn't actually care much though. Usually I would be scared of how much trouble I would be in but in this case, I couldn't care less.

"Well Saturday school for both of you. I hope you have fun turning her into a delinquent Mr.Styles."

His last sentence made me want to jump across the desk and punch him right in his snooty mouth.

Harry was most certainly not a delinquent and I was not going ti become one. Harry was constantly judged because of his looks, because of his attitude. Everyone saw him as a freak and a lost cause but that's so far from what he really is.

He just doesn't know how else to be. If Harry was any other way. If he was sweet, if he was nice and polite, if he wasn't voilent with lots of piercings and body art then people would walk all over him.

In this world, in this day and age your either the shark or the fish.

Harry was so determined not to be the fish..he ended up becoming the meanest most vicious shark. Now no one can get to him. He's closed off with not the slightest care for others, he won't open up to anyone and he tells himself he'll be fine.

And that is the scariest place you can be..
