Chapter Seventeen: Life Descrepancies

In The Midst Of It All

Chapter Seventeen

        What the hell was Georgie doing with Chris phone? Did this mean that she was with Chris? Didn’t they break up? Didn’t she break his heart? What the actual fuck was going on?

   “Now remember ladies and gentlemen, the three things that Columbus, Magellan, Cortes-the only thing they wanted-Gold and Glory. Now, as instructed in last week’s assignment…”

     By then I had stopped paying attention. I didn’t care what Columbus did. I didn’t care that Magellan circumvallated the globe and then died. But if I was being honest to myself, this wasn’t like me. Usually I cared about my grades and assignments. But in the past two days the only thing in my mind pertained to Chris, Amanda, and the most recent in a series of unnecessary life discrepancies, Georgina Conway texting me, calling me a slut, and wanting to meet up. Today. After school. Thankfully it was at Elissa’s café so it wasn’t like she could just stand up and smack me across the face. At least...I hoped it wasn’t.

   Staring at my phone,which was hidden inside my Hobo bag, I continued to reread the text message. It was short and to the point. When I read it two days prior, in my living room with that tension in the air, I had almost dropped it. Not from ‘shock’ because, honestly, I’m surprised this didn’t happen sooner. But because I was mad. Who the fuck does she think she is texting me like that? If they were together it’d be completely understandable. A 15 –year- old girl cozying up to her 20 year old boyfriend. But they weren’t together. Max had made that perfectly clear before he kissed me on Sunday.

             I kept re-reading the text message, the first one in a spew of anger infused paragraphs sent by Georgie through Chris phone. All of which started with the word ‘slag’ and ending with ‘arsehole’. Ah, yes, they’re endearing, the British.

                   I guess I had re-read them in a way that was not so discreet, because I soon heard the pit-patter of cheap high heel Payless knockoffs and my phone was then snatched out of my hands. Ms. Johnson took it and put it in front of her, as if to read them and then reprimand me in front of the entire class. But as her eyes skimmed through the messages, she just handed me my phone back and walked back to her desk.

           Of course, by then all eyes were on me. But I ignored all the snickers and whispers. Some of which included “Her brother’s a pedophile.” And “I bet it runs in the family.”  Word had spread. But it’s high school, word will always spread here.  A few minutes later the bell rang. I sighed in relief. But as I was walking out the room Ms. Johnson passed me a light pink slip. I nodded at her in acknowledgement of my bad behavior and obvious consequence and as soon I was outside her classroom, I walked to the nearest trash can, balled up the detention slip, and threw it in the trash. As if I could throw away all my problems.

   Skipping detention . Another thing to add on the List- of- Dumbass- Things Kristen- Has- Done-Lately.
