The Bad Boy and His Lessons

The Thought

It was the day of graduation. I had made it through high school and I felt proud of myself. My father didn't seem too thrilled that I was going into the world on my own. I ignored his look of disgust. My mother, on the other hand, seemed pleased and happy that I was graduating. My father walked up to me as the school day was minutes away from ending and says "Son please hear me out. I hope I can trust that you will be fine out in the world without us holding your hand." I smiled and nodded while saying "Dad trust me I will be fine." He smiled and grabbed my hand and gave me a set of car keys. It was the keys to the grey Mustang. The one car that he never let anybody touch not even mom.

I ran outside and as I was about to get in the Mustang my friend Rodney runs up to me. He grabs my shoulder and I turn around. He looks me in the eyes and says "Bro I am going to miss the days where we ran the halls and would drive the teachers and principals insane." I chuckled and nodded as I put my hand on his shoulder. I smile and say "Rod my buddy I am going to miss you as well. You are one of my best friends." Before he could say anything the diva of the school runs up to us. Rodney and I look at each other in annoyance. I laugh as Rodney says "The bad diva isn't so good at walking isn't she? Nah I think she is just better at getting the D." Which isn't too far off from the truth.

I look at her and notice her purple and blue highlights flying everywhere as she runs toward us. Finally she stops running as she stands infront of me. She smelled like roses and mint. She looked me up and down as she said "Damn Rodney did you forget to zip something this morning?"  Amelia and I look at the front of Rodney's pants and noticed it was unzipped. I clear my throat trying not to laugh. Rodney elbowed my side knowing that I was trying not to laugh. Amelia grabbed his pants and zipped it up. I was shocked that she was that bold but it was Amelia after all.

Rodney and I met back in kindergarden at recess. He was the weirdest child I had ever met. When we started talking we just connected as if we were meant to be best friends. Ever since that day him and I have been best friends. Amelia and I met in sixth grade. She was always alone and quiet. That was before we met and started hanging out. After that day we were friends and then the bad girl in her came out. I on the other hand was a "troubled" child as my parents would call me.

Finally on the intercom the principal said "Congrats to the graduating class of 2018. May you live a long and free life." Amelia, Rodney and I looked at each other and smiled. Amelia looked at me and said "Scott um can I get a ride? My damn mom isn't here yet." I nodded and looked at Rodney as I waved him goodbye. When I turned back around Amelia was already in the car. I got into the drivers side of the car and started the engine. We were silent for half of the ride. By the time we were driving past the supermarket Amelia said "Scott do you like me?" I looked and her and asked what she meant. She looked at me with calm, gentle eyes as she said "Would you want to sleep with me?" I looked at her and nodded. I mean I would sleep with any girl who would offer. What girl wouldn't offer to sleep with me?

Finally we reached her house as Amelia was getting out of the car I was staring at the house. Amelia's family is the richest family in town so they live in a beautiful mansion. I got out of the car and looked at Amelia as I said "It is bigger than I remember." Amelia laughs and grabs my wrist tightly. She was pulling me towards the house saying "We added a few more parts to the house while you were out there being Mr.Goody." She always called me Mr.Goody because I was such a good child. As we were about to go into the mansion my phone rings. I pull out my phone from my front pocket and check to see who is calling me. I freeze and say "Oh shit." Amelia could tell I was panicing and she says "What?" I turn around and run to the car and answer my phone.

I hear the person breathing then I realized who it was. I say "What do you want Bryan?" Bryan was the schools geek. He knew everything that there was to know. He graduated school with a 4.0. I hear him chuckle on the phone and say "Well I figured I would scare you but I suppose I didn't." He is also a horror freak I am pretty sure he has seen every horror movie there is. I say as I get into the drivers side of the car "You will never scare me." I hear him laugh and say something I couldn't understand. I say with suspicion "You're not alone are you?" He was silent for a little bit. Finally he says "Am I ever?" Almost everyday he would have at least one girl at his house. I say with a chuckle "Nope. Who is doing you now?" He answers with excitement in his voice "Keiara Casto." I was surprised that he could get the most popular girl in the school to be at his house. I tell him while trying to focus on the road "Well I am driving so I will talk to you later."
