This is the part where I introduce you to the worst part of "suburbia" .Highschool ,Home of the Sluts,Jocks,Potheads,and to top it off the broken youth ,my favorite.I know what you're thinking
Why go to school if you ran from home ? Can't your mom just find you there ?
To answer the first question I have David to thank for with his whole " you'll have a better future " lecture and as for my mom I think she gave up after the first failed attempts to find me .
Anywhoo. When you walk down the hall you see and hear the causal what happened over the weekend gossip ...You know the kind of gossip I'm talking about ." Who slept with who " "whose nudes got leaked " *cough * *cough* Gwen's not that ,that matters because who am I to judge .While we're on tour of this ugly place Welcome to first period . If you look to your left you'll see a forty-three year old cacaussian with tons of stress caused gray hair ,who now that I think of it looks like Mr.Rodgers .If you look forward you'll see drywall the color of sand and desks barely holding together .If you follow me we're the first ones here as usual so we sit in the back of the class with the pretty window seat.I wouldn't exactly call the window pretty or even the view but it distracts me most of the time before "Mr.Rodgers" snaps at me for daydreaming .Since I'm always here early I either catch up on homework,write in my journal,or listen to music while trying not to fall asleep.Today I plug in my earphones and rest my head to think about Lily,Mom,David,and the usual stress yourself out thoughts.
I was watching students walk into the school observing them ,reading their lips,catching almost every word using their hand gestures as clues as to what the conversation was about until I was brought back to reality by no other than Eric James .
" Hey little Abby" Meet Eric one of the populars' and reasons for my anxiety , among other reasons but no need to talk about that . Eric wasn't always my bully until Rebecca or Becky came into focus .It started the beginning of this junior year.Becky was already popular due to no other than being a cliche pretty ,blonde who hit puberty during summer .Big boobs,Big Ass ,Boom! All eyes on you .Eric was new to the school ,but his cuteness got him through so obviously pretty boy got Blondie .Anyway back on topic Becky suddenly hated me for whatever reason ,I'll never know and started a trio including lane and Brenda ,girls desperate enough to keep up with her and made my life into a living hell.Of course the boyfriend does whatever Blondie wants so soon he joined in on the fun ,became hooked and started bullying me all on his own .Yay me right ?
"Hello anyone there "?
Eric snaps his fingers in front of my face not even an inch away from my nose .Up till now you've met Sarcastic,sassy Abby but at school ,or really anywhere else I can't even get a word out without sounding like a mouse you get at a pet store .
"Come on little Abby talk to me " I sink deeper into my shoulders every time he calls me that .Even the thought of it makes me queezy .Besides from giving me chills he continues to pester me till he gets his way and of course he always gets it. I slump over in my seat so that only half my face is looking at him .There he was brown hair ,brown eyes ,narrow face ,and an all messy ,tired but put together look which brings me back to the cuteness factor . Hey he's a dick but a cute dick too look at ....wait that came out wrong . All I meant to say is that not many people can pull the look off without looking like a homeless junkie ."That's not a pretty face " Eric sarcastically pouts with just a touch of a baby voice ."sleep deprived "? Yes
"no " I squeak
"Hmm the purple bags bring out the color of your eyes "
You don't understand how much I had to pull myself together to refrain from laughing . For Eric out of all people to say something funny without meaning to so straight faced would have me giggling till I cried . Although I'm at school and as much I tried to keep it together a smile escaped right when to my fabulous luck Blondie ..I mean Becky walked through the door to star in the show.
" What do you think you're doing "?!
She darts the twins Mary Kate and Ashley aka her Double D's towards me so that I'm flashed with unwanted full frontal.
"Oh hey babe what's up " the snake himself slithers out his chair to kiss the devil on the neck .
"What the hell do you think you're doing talking to my boyfriend Abigail thotson "? Oooh how'd she ever come up with that one .
"Calm down babe Abby here was just flirting with me that's all " he hissed
Fucking hell
To add to my great misfortune Mr.Rodgers isn't here to supervise the next scene .
"You slut "!
She takes the lid off her white girl vanilla bean Starbucks drink and yup you guessed it
Dumped it all over my head .Leaving me in a wet sticky puddle .She lastly throws the empty cup onto my desk .By now the class had their phones out and I was the star of Snapchat.
"lesson of the day talk to my boyfriend again and you'll get more than a bad hair day " she cackled. Practically pulling a smiling Eric along with her .As I got up to storm out of class .
"Abigail Thompson clean up your mess " ! Mr.Rodgers hovered over me with a roll of paper towels .
"And dry up your hair you're dripping all over my tile "!
"However did you manage to get coffee everywhere " .. what an idiotic question ..I don't know I got bored and decided to dump Starbucks on myself . Funfact :teachers are never there when you need them they're oblivious to everything .I start drying up Becky's puddle as Mr.Rodgers talks about Hamlet ,listening to his boring voice fade in the background ,thinking about why I didn't just ditch class. After a moment of daydreaming , I didn't realize I had just been driving my hands in circles where the puddle had once been .Meanwhile as I bringing myself to my seat .
"Psst you missed a spot " Becky pushes me so that I knock over a chair watching it slowly but loudly make that nasty scrapping noise until it completely fell turning heads . As I wince knowing what's to come.
"Ms.Thompson leave this classroom immediately "! Gladly
I walked on out and headed straight for the bathroom .Wait you thought that was the end to my suffering for the day nope that was just first period ,three more periods with Eric and the rest of the day with the Blondie crew harassing me in the halls.This is only the beginning to your adventures with me .
