Chapter 15:Ideas

(Brandon)
"So did you break up with her?"Jake asked.

"No not yet."I said

As I paid the lunch lady then we walked to a table and sat down.
I was actually planning to break the news to her today but she texted me saying she was sick.

"Are you going to homecoming with her?" he asked.

I took a bite of my pizza.

"Im thinking about going with Monica."

His eyes got big.

"You can't do that, "he said.

"Why not?"

He explained that if I go to homecoming with Monica then it will be obvious we're messing around way before.

"We'll I still want to break up with Brittney."

He looked at me.

"Wait until after homecoming."

That actually makes sense that way things can calm down around here.

"Yea that sounds like a good idea."

Then I thought about it Monica not going with anybody and already.I heard that some of the other football players tried asking her out and got rejected.

"Hey, are you going to homecoming with anyone? I asked.

He shook his head
"Nope"

I told him my idea about him pretending to go out with Monica.
Until after Homecoming then when I break up with Brittney it won't look so sketchy.

He thought about it.

"Ok," he said.

I'll have to explain things to Monica when I see her later today. Even though she'll try to act like she doesn't know me.
But I enjoy reminding her who I am.

Then the bell ringed since it was raining today instead of going outside.
we went to the gym and sat on the bleachers where most of the class was sitting.

Then I seen another gym class walk in and My eyes quickly noticed Monica walking with Maria. Even in just a t-shirt and and gym shorts she looked good.

I noticed Jake was looking at her.

"What are you looking?"I asked.

"Oh I'm just really tired," he said.

I watched Monica shooting a basketball with Maria.

I'll give her a break today.

(That evening)

"So what are you thinking of doing after you graduate?"my dad asked.

We were sitting at the dinner table I stabbed my meatloaf with my fork.

"I'm not going to college,"I said.

They both looked at me I could hear the crickets since I was sitting by the kitchen window.

"Are you not sure where you want to go." My mom asked.

"I'm sure I don't want to go to college," I said.

"What about your football scholarships," my dad said.

I just sat there.
My dad was visibly irritated

"Honey what do you want to do,"my mom asked calmly.

"Well, I want to start a business...

"Doing what." my dad cut me off.

"Fixing cars," I said.

When I was younger before my grandad died I use to watch and help him work on cars. People in his neighborhood would bring him their cars for him to fix.

My parents both looked at me.

"Well just think about it,"my mom said.

I thought about it I'm not going to college it's just not something I want to do.

"May I be excused," I said.

Then I got up and taking my plate to the sink and going upstairs.

I went to my room locked my door pulled up my mattress.

Then pulled out my trusty stash of green I opened my room window rolled up and started to smoke.

I lost track of time as my phone was going off I seen that it was Monica face timing me.

My heart was beating fast as I answered it.

I seen Monica face on my screen she had her hair in a bun she was wearing her glasses. I was wanted to see more of her.

"Whats up,"I said casually.

"I just wanted to see if you'll help me with my math homework," she said.

I wanted to help her with something else.

"Sure," I said.

Then I got a facetime call from Brittney...
