"Hi Mrs. Scovo!" Eddie said as he walked down the stairs and saw Lynette making waffles for Porter and Penny. She smiled and waved at him for her mouth was full of food. Eddit turned to Porter. "You ready for me to drive you to school?" He asked smiling even though on the inside he was screaming. His trial was just days away. He had only days left of being a free man, even though hes not entirely free now.
Porter stood up and chugged his milk and then proceeded to wipe his mouth on the back of his hand. He then led out a huge burp which made Lynette yell "Porter!" and Penny giggled. "I told you dont do that at the table!" Eddie frowned and got that look in his eyes. He hated when people disrespected Lynette. "Oh, sorry mom." Porter said after he noticed Eddie getting pissed. "Lets go to the car?"
They rode in silence for a little while till Porter broke it. "I need your advice."
"Umm...Shouldnt you ask your brothers? Im not good at advice..." Eddie said as his eyebrows pulled together.
"They are at collage. Plus your like my brother." Eddie shrugged as if to say ok go ahead. "Well, I like this girl. And she's beautiful, and funny, and smart, and shes never in a bad mood. Her name is Tali. Ya know? Like a Tally Mark? Or like Ali with a T in front." He said as he spaced off out the window.
"I thought you should know by now Im not good with girls." Eddie said as he looked over at the boy hypmotized in his thoughts who's mind was clouded with images of a present day Aphrodite. Eddie sighed and continued. "First, ya gotta woo her. But make sure you know she likes you first, i made that mistake." He said with tears welling up in his eyes at the memory of Danielle. He suddenly shook it off. "Wait, is she popular?"
"Yeah. Well kinda. I mean, like she hangs out with popular girls, but shes nice. Shes not a bitch like the girls shes friends with." 'As long as she isnt a cheerleader...or not over her ex...' Eddie thought silently to himself. Their conversation continued uneventfully until they got to the school.
Porter suddenly looked around Eddie to stare at the group of girls by the drop-off. The one he was staring at in petericular had two-tone hair, blonde on top and dark brown underneath the blonde. It was really curly, but nothing like an afro, it hung straight (hard 2 explain, its straight but full of curls, kinda like less-curly ringelets but less intense). She had ice blue eyes that were so intense Eddie could see them from the car. She wore a lot of eyeliner however. She had a white A&F tank top and a white A&F lace/frilly skirt, she has a navy light-weight sweater over it, however, she didnt wear "dress approiate shoes" she wore purple and green DC skate shoes. Eddie felt helpless, her pull was stong.
She felt it too. Her head turned to him without her really thinking. He kinda had a blank stare, even though Porter was next to him telling him to stop looking at her. She smiled her so-white-almost-glow-in-the-dark-translucent-teeth at Eddie and he returned it with his nerdy smile that made her giggle. Her friends got her attention back and she relunctly looked away.
"EDDIE!" porter screamed. He finally turned around to look at Porter in his passanger side-seat. "Why were you staring at Tali?"
"That was Tali?" Porter went wide eyed and shook his head yes very slowly as if Eddie was slow and couldnt register what he was saying. "I can see why you like her, shes beautiful. Umm...you should probably get going. The crossing guard is gonna get mad." Porter gathered his stuff and the two exchanged goodbyes.
Porter made his way up the steps to his high school and he had to make his way past Tali and her herd of bitchy sluts. He looked up because the girls started laughin as he approched. "What are you looking at Scovo?" Yelled Sara, she was probably the meanest. He looked down quickly and mumbeled 'nothing'. "What was that Scovo? Talk a little louder!" She yelled the last part. "What? Too intemidated to talk to us? Is that because you will NEVER have a chance with Tali? Yeah, dont act suprised. We all know. Everyone knows!"
Tali looked taken back by her friends outburst. "Sara! What, are you on your period again!" She yelled as Porter started to walk away. "Hey, Poter! Wait up!" He stopped and looked back to her. "Im really sorry about Sara, shes in a bad mood today. Wanna walk to class with me?" He looked up and smiled and nodded. "You know, your a quiet dude. Maybe if you spoke up more people would get off your back and leave you alone."
"You make it sound easy." He said as he looked into her eyes. Her eyeshadow had hints of metellic-glitter-stuff so it reflected the light.
"Thats because it is. Make yourself known! Like, just yell 'Im Porter Scovo!'" She yelled drawing attention to them as they walked down the hall.
"Im Porter Scovo!" Porter yelled.
"Louder!"
"Im Porter Scovo!"
"LOUDER!"
"IM PORTER SCOVO!" He yelled in to the hall making people look at them.
"And i have a big dick!" Tali finished for him. Making his jaw drop and he blushed like mad. Tali just laughed and grabbed his hand and pulled him down the hall quickly because they were gonna be late. Her laugh sounded like bells. She was truely and angel. And Porter wanted her to be his angel. But she wanted to be someone else's.
