The desperation we were all feeling in the last period before May Long Weekend was excruciating. I myself was ready to get up and pull the fire alarm to free my peers from the brutal rath that is Mr.Hitchens Grade Twelve English Lit.
She was now lecturing us about the importance of reading and we need to fill our brains with literature. And has assigned the Great Gatsby to my class to finish by the time we return next week.
I swear all this women cares about is cramming books down our throats. While other teachers were talking about not drinking and driving or the importance of safe sex, but not Hitchens,she decided that we need to read a novel while trying to have fun during our last May Long as high school students.
As soon as the bell rang everyone is rushing out of the rooms towards their lockers.
At my locker stands the vibrant ginger that is my best friend Sabrina (Sebbie). "I've been waiting here for ten minutes, what novel did The Hitch assign this year?" She asked as I put my books in my locker "The Great Gatsby"
Sabrina rolled her bright green eyes. I grabbed my bag and we were on our way.
"Virgil said that Hitchens assigned Moby Dick to his class to read during Spring Break that's almost a thousand pages" I told her I can only imagine trying to read Moby Dick and try to have regular teenage fun, she's so cruel sometimes she hates the idea of us having fun, but I guess that's why they started call her The Hitch (you know instead of witch). As we approach Sabrina's Cadillac we notice the crowd of fine specimens that is the school's basketball team, and it seems that they are being harassed by the Queen of mean Reagan and for if her disciples. I see Sabrinas boyfriend Matty looking quite annoyed with the blondes hitting on him and his team mates "Matty looks like he needs to be saved" Sabrina said as she ran to him and jumped into his arms wrapping her legs around him then crashing her lips into his "GROSS" Reagan whined turning around and struts away with her minions close behind "You're just jealous" I shouted after her.
Even though I was the one that was jealous of Sabrina and Matty, they have been together since the seventh grade their love was the kind you you'd read in a Nicholas Sparks novel, except more realistic and boring high school drama of course. "Come on man thats my sister your making out with" groaned Ryder,
Ryder was four years older than us but he was the assistant coach for the basketball team so he's always here. Sabrina broke her lip lock and looked at her brother with a im an adult so shut it look, " thankyou" Ryder said as he got in the SUV. Suddenly i felt someone come up behind me "You ladies coming to my long weekend kick off pool party tonight?" I whipped around to see Dylan James a.k.a Captain Sexy to us girls. He's the captain of almost every sport and student body president, most importantly the sexiest guy at school, "I'll be there" answered Sabrina finally getting off her boyfriend, Dylan looked down at me with his big blue eyes ." You in Ross?" He asked while I creepily watched his lips move and bit my lip " I could make an appearance" I replied trying to stay confident " Good, see you all tonight!" He said with a wave and walked off with Pierce Twins to his vintage Mustang. It's not like I had far to go for his party he does live across the road from me, so I could leave when ever I want maybe I will actually go.
Sabrina,Matty and I joined Ryder in the SUV and we sped away before I even done up my seat belt. The ride home I just sat there in silence listening to Sabrina and Ryder bickering about Sabrina's dangerous driving habits, "You're the one that catches a ride with your baby sister thats kind of pathetic Ry" Ryder gave her some serious stink eye "Exactly now shut up about my speeding" said Sabrina while turning up the Kelly Clarkson song on the radio.
We pulled up to my driveway in front of a lavish house that is my home, all I knew was that it is to big for me my mom and two brothers. My father's Audi T.T was parked out front what could he possibly want. I got out and looked at Sabrina with help me eyes "You know Ross if you really like Dylan" Ryder yelled interrupting my thought as I was walking away "I could hook you up if you'd like!" I flipped him off and kept walking.
