[I was using that talk typing thing that Google Drive has, so you can either blame some spelling errors on me or Greg lmao]
It had been four months since I saw the distorted aliens face screaming out to me through the VHS in my class. We had already completed the butterfly project and were consuming our time with basic math, spelling & for some reason playing the Oregon Trail on our Macintosh computers.
David and I have been hanging out most every recess since the beginning of school on the playground David asked me one day "Hey, can I take the bus home with you?" I replied "Yeah!" with a little Shake in my voice as I was not sure if my mom would approve.
As we arrived home my mom was not there, she was at work as usual. David would giggle at everything my sister said walking down the long gravel road to my house. It was obvious he was basically into every other girl he came into contact with. Michelle would just look at her shoes to kick rocks, she didn't have much to say to us normally, she was always somewhat of an introvert.
Once we got home David looked at my bed above the washer and dryer and laughed "Oh my god! That's awesome! I have to share my bunk bed with my brother, you just have to share yours with the whole families dirty clothes! Hahaha!" I looked at him sarcastically, not sure if he was seriously complimenting my situation or not.
Just then we heard a car pull up outside. Shortly after we heard a girl laughing and hollering "Bye mom!" David & I looked at each other, David had a huge grin on his face. it was as if "Girls I love girls, give me girls" was written ear to ear on the kid.
Joanna went to open the door and said "Hi Mara!" David and I stared waiting for this Mara to show off her face as the door frame is blocking our view of her. David giggled again as she walked through the door, it was just some random girl with the biggest breasts I've ever seen. I didn't find her attractive but David could be easily heard loudly golfing so I can only imagine that was his type of thing.
The Mara girl was wearing a neon shirt, blue jeans,curly brown hair & freckles. It's probably isn't what you are imagining as she came off as more of a Band Geek than anything else. David stared in awe as the girls breasts till I punched him in the shoulder. He giggled and said "What? Sorry! Haha!" and I pulled him back into my tiny room to play video games with me.
When my mom got home she was surprised to see Joanna and I both had friends over. Joanna shirt her bedroom with Christina and I shared my bedroom with a washer and dryer, so there's no room for anyone to really sleep in a community fashion in either of our rooms. Despite this reality, over dinner we suggested that my mom let both of them spend the night. My mom agreed and we most all wound up in the front room floor and sleeping bags together. Morrow was the only one who slept on the couch.
David could not stop obsessing over Mara and her giant breasts, unfortunately, he was also more on. After everyone turned out the lights David began to loudly building a plot to somehow get Mara and his lips to connect. David said "Hey, dare me to kiss Mara?" to me and I replied "David, no." he said again more loudly "I'm going over there, and kiss Mara on the lips." I replied "David you need to stop being a pervert." yet he did not listen. Giggling he said "I want to kiss her on the lips, I'm going to do it." Mara then loudly said "Um, excuse me?" I immediately replied "David you idiot."
The room remained silent for the rest of the night.
The next morning we all ate cereal and went right on back to school. David wore the same clothes as the day before, but he was used to it. Mara had brought clothes from home, hence why her mom had dropped her off. At recess that day Philip, school bully, was waiting for me on the playground. Kid giving me grief throughout the year, but none so great that it was a huge problem. He had curly blond hair, completely random teeth as if God himself had thrown his teeth into his mouth like dice, shrugged, then walked away leaving them where they fell & as far as Phillip's height, he was about an inch shorter than me.
"Hey ugly!" screamed Phillip in my direction, I ignored him. "You know I'm going to beat you down one day?" he asked, obviously struggling with however his mom or dad treated him at home. I continue to ignore him. I had no interest in making my childhood more screwed up than it needed to be.
Off in the distance, just past Phillip I saw a girl, one I had encountered a few times before, but you stood out today more than normal. My mom always taught me to be strong, say what I feel & and stick up for myself... this came into play when approaching people I was interested in as well.
Walking past Philip as if he did not exist, I approached the girl and said "Hi, I'm Daniel." The girl turned to me and replied "I'm Aubrey" She was very short, had perfectly straight hair and bangs cut someone like the, go figure, Beatles again. The dark brown hair, pale-faced Aubrey, spending time on the playground with her friend Amber. Amber was blonde-haired, and super skinny. I thought both of them looked so friendly & nice that I wanted to hang out with them more, but the bell had rung and it was time to go in.
On my way in I hadn't noticed that Philip was red-faced and enraged ignored him this entire time. But he was bullying, I had no concern with being a social hero for a bully.
Philip had the same class as me now as he had repeat problems with students in his former class. Philip was clearly upset that that, more than usual. As the day progressed he kept interrupting the teacher, and when the teacher finally confronted him about his rudeness, he told her to go F her self... only he didn't just say "F". He continued to scream at the teacher throwing a childish tantrum till the teacher decided to call the main office for help.
It was incredibly awkward seeing the principal herself with an assistant come to the class and drag Philip out of the room, kicking and screaming. The rest of the class just felt tense and numb after he had left.
I could see a small boy in the corner of the room, he was clearly shaking the entire time Phillip is screaming & cussing at the teacher. I wondered why, I wondered what was going on in this little dirty blonde kid's his head.
after I got home, the entire night felt different than usual. Seeing someone's life come apart like that, kind of reminded me how good my own life was. I wasn't happy to see Phillip dragged out of class, North dirty blonde kid shaking in horror as Philip yelled, but during that whole time I felt confident, my emotions were Hardy. I wasn't afraid of Philip, I just felt sorry for him.
In my mind I could see Phillip crying, alone in his room. Screaming at his father on the other side of a door Philip is locked behind. My imagination seems more like a ghost, haunting Phillips house. From the top corner of the room I saw it all, his mother high on drugs, sitting in the front room with only static playing on the television. The dad flexing his fist yelling back and Philip through the door. And Philip kicking the door, and punching the wall, doing whatever he could to make the room he was locked in look how he felt on the inside.
This was all just imagination though... I hope his life is much better than these fleeting thoughts.
Off to my dreams again.
