Little Trouble Maker

High

The grass feels nice and soft as I lay down under the bleachers, take a long drag from my joint, and pass it to Luke. I've known Luke for as long as I can remember, at least for as long as we've been in Lebanon, and by we, I mean my Uncle Sam, my Dad, and myself, sometimes Cas, my other Dad, but he's been gone a lot here lately.

Anyway, Luke, he's chill, I enjoy his company very much. He's my best friend but about half a year ago or so, I started to develop feelings for him and now when I look at him, all I notice are his brown honey pooled orbs, his soft red lips, the way his hair shakes when he laughs, or-

"Ophie?" Luke interrupts with my nickname, trying to hand me the joint that he's probably been trying to pass me for a while. I look at him and take the joint "Sorry Luke, I guess I spaced off" I smiled and took a drag while staring into his eyes and then blowing smoke out. "Oh, look what I can do, I learned this a couple days ago when I was in my bathroom, Dad still doesn't allow weed at home" I rolled my eyes, "but anyways lookie" I took another drag and then slowly blew smoke and inhaled through my nostrils, which threw me into a coughing fit of a nose that stung and smoke choking my lungs. 

Luke chuckled at the scene unfolding in front of him, while the trick was cool, watching Ophelia's face contort as soon as the smoke went into her nose and then go into a coughing fit was funny, Luke patted her back lightly to help ease the coughing. Once it was over Ophelia looked at Luke and smiled "I think I'm high enough," she giggled "I agree" Luke smiled, stood up and held his hand out, Ophelia took it and stood. As soon as they turned around and faced the school building they saw Principal Owens standing at the doors, waiting. 

"Looks like we're in for it today" Luke said lowly, "I hope to god not, my dad will kill me" Ophelia responded. They started walking towards the school and made it a few feet in front of Mr. Owens before he raised his voice "Before you begin arguing, I know the truth, I just witnessed it happen, I'm calling your parents and you'll both be out for two weeks, TWO!" Owens yelled in Ophelia's face, making her back up, causing Luke to stand in front of her and get in Mr. Owens face "Don't talk to her like that, there was no need to get in her face like that, as a grown man you should be ashamed!" Owens was speechless with his mouth gaping like a fish. Ophelia's heart fluttered 'He stuck up for me?' 

Mr. Owens cleared his throat and motioned for you both to follow him to the office, once inside you sat down together and waited for your parents to arrive. While waiting, the office door had a few people in and out every now and then, although there were a couple of people that came in and you felt your entire mood drop, Lukes parents. They've never liked me, never wanted to like me. They entered the office and gave me a look that made me know that I wasn't welcome around their son.

When they went into Mr. Owens office, they shut the door behind them and for thirty minutes straight all you could hear was the back and forth between Mr. Owens and Luke's parents. Soon there was silence and then, they exited his office, gave their son a death stare, "Get your ass up Lukas, you're no longer allowed to see, talk, hangout, or be with THIS girl!" Luke looked at me sorrily and pulled me into a tight hug "Meet me on the moon bridge at the park tonight, 12" he whispered almost too quickly and quietly for me to catch, "Lukas NOW!" his Dad pulled him up and away from me by his arm and they left the office.

Once I thought there was going to be a lull of quiet in the room, my father walks in and looks at me disappointed. "I'm sorry I-" "Save it kiddo" my father cut me off and went into Mr. Owens office. A few minutes go by and my Dad walks out of Owens office and comes over to me, red in the face. "Get your shit, let's go O." I nod, grab my things, walk out of the office, we leave the building and walk out to Baby. 

"Dad, I'm sorry, I didn't-" "Didn't meant to? Is that what you were going to say O? Y'know I've been hearing that 'I didn't mean to' bullshit a lot here lately, and I know a joint doesn't just accidentally get lit up and smoked, so what happened young lady?!" I took in everything he said and just decided to spill "I was bored in class and Luke texted-" "Luke?" I paused, I've never mentioned Luke, at least not to Dad "never mind, you're just gonna make a big deal out of nothing" I complained "No continue," he really wanted me to explain myself. 

"Luke texted me, he was also bored, so I asked him if he wanted to skip with me under the bleachers and he agreed and brought weed along." I finished and looked up at my father who just looked even more disappointed "At least you told me the truth, I think I'm going to start homeschooling you sweetheart, I can't have you throw away a good stable education for a boy and drugs" I stood there in disbelief like I had become deaf, did he really just say homeschool? My father looked at my face "What? You don't even like attending?" But I do because of Luke, he makes the day go by faster. "Nothing, I just never thought you'd homeschool me, you hated it growing up, and we're somewhere safe and stable, please let me keep coming here please Dad" Dean ran his hand through his hair and sighed "Fine, but you have to have some type of consequences for this...you won't be hunting for another two months," my father drops this on me and gets in the car. As long as I can see Luke, I'm fine without hunting. 

I get into the car and buckle up. for the entire car ride I look at all the houses fading into trailers, fading into trees, knowing I'm closer to home the farther we are from town.
