| Chapter 7 |
| Colt: Last night I got home and was pretty uptight- Why? so she can sing, and people liked her, people like us too. It's not as if there were some battle of the bands going on and I ducked out....right? so why be upset? Good. Time for bed. I climbed in and went to sleep, tomorrow was a school day and for the first time in years I was excited about going. "Alright, everybody line up at the door" Ms. Paularus said closing the script we were reading from. 'where are we going?' everyone but a few were puzzled, they must have talked to her too, I thought. "we are going to the theatre across town to watch a play, for maybe some-" a pause "divine inspiration" she smiled and we walked out the door never exactly staying in a line. No one ever could. We just scattered ourselves about the lawn down to where the buses were. "hey" rocky said, but to who. That namie girl turned her nose up at me and walked away and I just huffed in response; who was she to turn her nose up at me? which brought me back to something rocky had said last night when he got in and we chatted "that girl is out to get me" "aren't you out to get her too?" he asked "well- yeah, she fucked with me so you know fair is fair" "ha ha, you know if you two hadn't gotten off on the wrong foot, you'd swear you liked the girl" he said with humor in his voice "infact, I'd say that you liked doing these things to one another like-... a love game" I just sat there in a quiet than finally said "you're out of your damn mind" "fair enough" he shrugged and was out. Me? like that pathetic little nobody, not likely. She's not even pretty! Rocky looked confussed at why that peon did something like that- was he not watching the nine o'clock news about how much I hate her? man, some people are just born strange. When we got to the bus I couldn't have been more happy to sit down and be getting away from this school and her. Once everyone boarded the bus the teacher got on, I had carefully waved away the rat pack and left a place open right beside me. "sit here ms. p'" She smiled a 'thank you' and sat down only she wasn't facing me she turned beside her and was talking to some girls- the ones behind her too. I took this opportunity of the un-noticed and looked at her; she looked better than yesterday! she was wearing a white sleeveless shirt with a slight blue in it unless it was her undergarments tint. The shirt looked like if you stared hard enough you could see through it and there was a picture of blue robins on the front with a couple branches, her pants were solid black and tight, her hair was in the same way it was yesterday and she didn't have her glasses on. She looked like a teenager only way more beautiful. How could I get her attention??? I dug into my book bag and started looking for something to eat so we could maybe share when my fingers brushed across something- what is this? I tugged on it, it's something at the bottom. What is it? I couldn't pull it up and then my hand slipped swinging out and hit her! oops! "I'm sorry ms. p', I'm an idiot" "non-sense," she said with a smile straightening up and looking at me "no harm done, and please call me neilissa, everyone else does" I had noticed that and it seemed disrepectful to me so I didn't; but hey 'when in rome' "than you can call me colt" I flashed her the smile everyone goes berserk for, she didn't seem to notice. "alright colt, did you have fun at the club last night?" how did she know where I went? "yeah for a while, than this arrogant, ignorant girl walks in and ruins everything" I tried to say bitterly but she was staring at me so closely watching my lips move "another love struck teenager?" she asked "probably, I've had some weird things done to me because of a girls crush. what about you?" "No. I'm usually the one on the other end" she sighed; the bus hit a bump and everyone bounced up. "how could that be though, look at you" she laughed lowly "the eyes of the beholder, I supposse" "yeah," I said lowly "I guess so" why did that bother me? I had to shake it off "listen, me and the guys are going to the bar this friday, you wanna come too? we might play again?" I asked hoping. "That would be wonderful, thank you for inviting me" now I was happy, things were going my way, maybe I could sit by her in the theater? We talked the whole way there about anything: movies, food, tv., everything I didn't want the bus ride to end, but it did; shortly after I thought it too. It was dark in here, even if there were lights they weren't very bright. With luck she sat right next to me and another teacher Mrs. Davidson who happened to bring her students today. rats. now she'd be engaged in boring conversation with her when she could be talking to me. I looked around for rocky, he was sitting with Joan Vargaras, would he just ask the damn girl out already? I shook my head thinking I should say something but eh, I wasn't talking to him for a while- after what he said to me last night, no way. "I love the soaps" I heard neilissa say "Viki is my favorite character along with todd." "Todd is so hot headed though," mrs. davidson replied "complete lack of reality for other peoples feelings" neilissa laughed "but that's why we love him" mrs. davidson made a noise as a 'yeah' reply. Who's todd? I had seen a soap only once and that was when my mom would watch them and I needed to talk to her, only that one had some old lady in it doing evil stuff, and everyone was obsessing over a kid named lucky. But I won't get into that. At last the play was starting and it was almost pitch black except for the lighting on the stage, I heard a wrapper opening and then someone nudged me "want some?" it was neilissa "yeah" I said kinda eagerly thinking it was something else she had meant. Than she placed something in my hand "what is this?" kinda disappionted "it's an applet you'll love them" if she said so. I popped it in my mouth, it was....good. It tasted like an apple nut bar only sweeter cause there was powdered sugar on it. "good huh?" she asked "yeah" and I was silent the most of the play having a snack with her fantasizing that we were alone in the dark doing romantic things, not even noticing what was going on around me "and I wanted to be with someone like- you!" the actor pointed right out at her, neilissa! my woman! Everyone looked shocked and happy and he beconned her down on the stage everyone coached her 'go on' 'go down there' and stuff like that she didn't wanna move so he came up to get her. Her face turned red as he stood over her, I gave his sorry ass acting an evil stare as he whisked her up to the stage. ggrrrrr. "My darling come with me to dinner?" he said sticking to his lines "well I don't know, it seems so unfair to your admirers afar" she replied as though it were natural of her to turn someone down kindly. "than perhaps you will just join me for tea in a local cafe?" and she nodded. Everyone clapped as she went for the 'next victom' part and I just stared- annoyed- worrying the hell out of my program sheet. They had a whole scene on the tea-ing and then he took her home and looked deep into her eyes, everyone was at the edge of their seats staring- so was I and then he did it! He kissed her! she was his victom and the curtain closed, to indicate what happened next in the play. Sex. The whole way back to school I was grumbling lowly, yet I couldn't say anything. |
