You play one simple prank on your first period teacher and get detention for 3 months. At least it's not after school, but i'll be damned if it didn't take one of my electives. Now I have to spend my whole fucking 5th period in the library. 65 minutes in solitary confinement. "Some people actually like the library", Ha that's what Mrs.Burns said as I left her office, but I don't know one person who'd chose to be in a library over an elective not even nerds! They've got chess club for that or some shit. I bang my fist into the lockers I'm standing infront of. As if that wasn't a bad enough start to my first day of senior year I've been called down to the counseling office and no one will give me a damn reason why. I really need to go work out right now, I need some way to vent this anger, or I might burst. It's not just the detention or that I got called down to the counseling office it's that my parents are going to find out. Which means I'm not just going to be punished here at school but also at home, my dad's going to be so pissed, and if he makes me miss practice it's going to be that bimbo blond's fault, what's her face Mrs.Burns. I'll I did was run into my first period class yelling "THE BRITISH ARE COMING THE BRITISH ARE COMING, EVERYONE OUT! THE BRITISH ARE COMING!". It's not my fault the whole class ran out screaming, it wasn't even that bad, I've pulled worst pranks and gotten away with it. Finally Mr.G steps out into the hallway.
"Please come in." He says it simply and calm. It's like he'd practice what he was going to say exactly. As I step in I can't help but notice how empty his office is and how messy he's desk is. Mrs.Burns would have a panic attack she is the "queen of clean", or at least that's what she calls herself. There's one big detail I missed about the counselors office, it's a crying Tanny on the couch in front of him. I sit down nest to her and looked straight ahead. Yeah, I know not exactly boyfriend like, I should be holding her and asking her whats wrong, but I'm done with that shit. At the beginning of our relationship I always did that, but soon her problems were stereotypical girl drama problems that I wasn't interested in dealing with. I know it's bad saying your school is stereotypical, but it is and for some reason no one's interested in breaking the mold. "Mr.Johnson do you know why I called you into my office today?" Mr.G's eye widen.
"Boredom?" I reply. I'm not in the mood for this today. Isn't it bad enough I have detention for 3 months? Now I have to deal with girl drama, when its obvious she's been cheating on me for 4 months now. At first we were the "perfect" couple, but then I got tired of being "perfect", so we stayed together for our images but we rarely talk anymore.
"Very funny , but no. Your girlfriend here has had some problems with her best friend and I think you should support her and talk about it." As he says it he walks over and steps out the door. All that I can think of as he does it, is that this is just another way that he doesn't have to do his job. No instead I have to come here and "support" my girlfriend.
"Why did you ask for me?" I ask her. She must have asked to speak with me she use to do it all the time. Then, we had our secret mutual break up and she stopped, but here I am in the counselors office "supporting" my girlfriend. Her eyes look up to me, there's no tears there just her face, covered in makeup.
"God, did you have to say it so harshly?" She pulls out a bag of makeup and stars putting on some sort of lip gloss thing. She does it all the rime, even if she had plenty of it own there's more, it's suppose to intimidate the little people, I guess. But you have no idea what a pain in the ass it is to kiss someone with that much lipgloss on. It's like being slobbered on by a dog and then having to wipe it off in fear of your lips looking like you're wearing lip gloss. It literally discussed me ever time I kiss her, when we ere a real couple I asked her to stop wearing it, but in true Tanny fashion she never did. "Anyway I had you called down here so it would still seem like we're a couple we haven't been acting like it lately."
