Monday is what Brian Johnson kept thinking about over the weekend. Brian was in his bedroom all weekend long. He wasn't allowed to get food and somehow he mind went into what would happen on Monday. Would Bender, Claire or even Andy keep their promise? Brian knew that Allison would keep her promise because she was the type of person to do that. Knowing that Allison would be there gave Brian a piece of mind.
It was finally Monday and Brian dragged himself out of bed. Brian looked at himself in the mirror and Brian realized how much he hated himself. He put on his khakis with a sweater vest. Brian walked downstairs to see his sister and mom was at the table. Brian took the place at the table and he looked around to the table to see his mom was avidly talking to his sister.
"I should get going to school" Brian started getting up from the table but his dad stopped him.
"You better not bring another F home especially in that woodshop class. That class is for idiots" Mr. Johnson stated to Brian grabbing his arm to tight causing Brian to have a bruise on his arm finally Mr. Johnson let go of Brian's arm and Brian's was on the way to school. He pulled his sleeve down covering the newly found bruise. He felt a tap on his shoulder and Brian turned around and there stood none other than Allison.
"Hey Allison" Brian greeted her and Allison just smiled her not really smile.
"So, what did you do for the rest of the week" Allison asked Brian and Brian just gave her look.
"I was studying the whole entire weekend" Brian huffed out and Allison rolled her eyes.
"You need to have actual fun" Allison commented to Brian as both of them walked into the school. In a instant, Allison saw Claire and Andy talking with their social groups. Brian followed Allison's gaze and Brian rolled his eyes before walking over to his locker which was surrounded by his nerd friends mainly Lester.
"Um Lester this is Allison" Brian introduced his friend to Allison.
"Hi" Lester went back to reading his book.
"So, what's going on with you and Andy" Brian asked Allison and Allison just shrugged her shoulders.
"I have no idea, I guess we have to wait for lunchtime" Allison told Brian before hopping to her art class and Brian sighed. He was alone even though Lester was there with him. It felt beyond awkward, to be honest Brian wasn't that close of friends with Lester. In fact, Lester got on Brian nerves mainly because his parents compare him to Lester all the time. Brian sighed before closing his locker and decided to go to the restroom and he sighed before lifting up his shirt examining the new bruise on his stomach. The bruise was turning purple and Brian sighed. Brian closed his eyes and when he opened it, there stood Andy Clark.
"Hey Brian" Andy went to the sink and Brian just stared at Andy.
"Do you ever stand up to your parents" Brian blurted out to Andy and Andy turned around to face Brian and Brian.
"Never mind" Brian looked down while pulling his sleeves down.
"Are you okay Brian" Andy asked Brian and Brian was about to open his mouth but closed it.
"I mean you not you know going to shoot yourself" Andy asked Brian and Brian shook his head at Andy's comment.
"Are we friends Andy" Brian asked him and Andy was soon left in the bathroom by himself thinking about what Brian just said to him. Andy sighed and thought about Allison and how much he cared about her.
Brian walked into woodshop and sat down in a chair that was across from Bender. Bender was looking bored even though woodshop was the only class Bender could tolerate. The teacher assigned the students to construct a birdhouse. Brian just stared at the pieces of wood and look over at Bender actually doing his work. Brian just felt so defeated and he wanted to just give up just because he took a flare gun to school because he wanted to shoot himself does not mean he doesn't want to pull the trigger still. Brian's stomach was in pain for not winning the math club competition.
"Hey brain" Bender called out to Brian and Brian looked up at Bender.
"If you want to get an A. I suggest you to actually work on the project" Bender told him.
"I don't care anymore" Brian sighed while shaking his head.
"Of course you do, you want to please your parents even though you already a parent's wet dream:" Bender held a smirk on his face.
"I'm not a parent wet dream until I somehow I make it to Harvard" Brian complained "and the thing is I don't even want to go to Harvard" Brian sighed out loud.
Bender just rolled his eyes, "then you need to somehow convince your parents that or if you like we could switch parents" Bender stated to Brian because he couldn't understand why Brian was complaining about his parents. Brian's parents just put a lot of pressure on Brian but they never hit him.
