| Colt: The rest of the week had gone by quietly, namie kept her distance from me and I kept mine from her. We had been working hard on the play which we would be doing saturday for everyone willing to pay to see our classes act. Couldn't be me. I walked out of class and went to the cafe, once I got there I saw my usual crew so walked over and sat down "s'up guys?" "the way she looked was a hoot" I heard matt saying "the way who looked?" I said with interest, I didn't think they did much without me around, guess I was wrong. "that girl that up-staged us the other day" sean said "oh yeah, what did you do?" I leaned in "we got some gasoline, and boom!" matt shouted. He had a sick mind. "I see" gotta admit I hate the girl but that is kinda horrible "so, uh, how did she get home? watching her walk would have been a blast" I said in false humor "your brother came for her, he ruins everything. what? does he like her or something?" ryan was preparing to blow straw paper at the back of a girl named becky's head "typical, I knew he liked her. He had some nerve to say that I do" I couldn't believe rocky. "so, when is the play gonna go on so matt here can see it?" ryan asked going for another straw. "saturday, weren't you listening to a word she said?" her meaning the teacher "who can listen to that body?" he said winking at me. I shifted uncomfortably in my seat, I really like her, why on earth would I wanna see some crack head wink at me because she has a nice body? I wondered where she was for a second, than I got up "I gotta go okay? See ya." They waved good bye and went back to their conversation. As I walked out I heard some one crying thinking that it was actual trouble I ran to see it was- "you?" Namie was sitting there crying her eyes out for some reason, normally I would go over and say something smart but it sounded like an actual cry so I figured I'd be nice- just this once. "Hey...what are you crying for?" I sat down beside her but not too close. "like I'd tell you!" she managed to shout. "Fine! whatever! see if I care next time" I stood up and walked away but something backed me up "seriously though, why are you crying?" I looked down at her. "if you must know," she said collecting her nerves "my father is sick in the hospital again," she sniffled "I shouldn't be here, I wasn't suppossed to go to college I had to stay home and take care of him, because mom works, now....now he's back in the hospital and it's all my fault and I can't get home with out a car or money" "oh wow" I said shocked and sat back down "well, I have some extra cash if you need it?" "why would I wanna borrow money from you?" "because take it from me- I'm the only one who'll lend it to you, and that's the honest truth" She looked as though she were thinking it over than the tears came again. Geez. "now what?" "you think I wanna take money from you, I'm not a charity case! I know I must be in trouble if you're willing to hlep me" my anger was rising, but, no. Colt keep your cool. "fine, you want a ride? Cause I could drive you home, I mean, you couldn't live that far away" I said not really sure why "I've got candy?" I said taking a taffy from my back pocket holding it out to her. "Like I want some ass sweaty taffy, get away from me!" She snapped. "You know what?!" I was shouting "you try to be nice and this is the shit you get! see if any one helps your ugly ass get home!" I got up and walked away but not to far enough to miss her insult me "what did you say?" I turned around "I said you wanna talk ugly? you're so ugly you walked into a haunted house and got offered a job!" ohhh, so she wants to start a 'you're so ugly' game, I can dig that "yeah?" I walked in her face with a crowd gathering up "you're so ugly, your face isn't even allowed to be shown on halloween." "You're so ugly you make mirrors crack!" Amature. "You're so ugly, you make blind children cry!" the crowd flinched and 'ooh'ed' "you're so ugly you make your own reflection cry" that was good, I had to admitt- that was good. "You're so ugly when you were born your parents named you shit happens!" 'ohhh!!!' went the by standers "yeah? well you're so dumb, you got stabbed in a shoot out!" she high- fived some girl and laughed "you wanna talk dumb? you're so dumb you tripped over a cordless phone!" the crowd laughed and I got my high-five. "you're so stupid you tried to put M&Ms in alphebetical order!" she smirked as they burst into laughter by now the bell had rang time to go to geomatry but I continued on. "You're so dumb you had to climb over a glass wall to see what was on the other side!" "you're so fat," oh we're at fat jokes now "last time you saw 90210 you stepped on a scale!" "you're so fat my dog bit you and died from cholesteral!" and I went on not even pausing to hear her "you're so fat when you walk your butt claps" I didn't see the teacher walking up on us about to grab me "your mama's so old I told her to act her age-" the crowd was shushing me pointing but i hadn't payed them any mind "and she died!" "MR. DOUGLAS!!! come with me" he grabbed me by my ear and I was wisked away. |
