Change Your Mind
There you are with your perfect way
you've got that little shine in your eyes
To hear one word would make my day
But there's no room for me in your life
Chuckie walked into his first period relieved that it was finally Friday which meant Mr. Harrison was going to hopefully assign less work than usual. As he walked near his desk his eyes scanned over to where Angelica usually sat sadly she wasn't there, or maybe it a blessing in disguise because hopefully he'd be able to get his work done for once instead of his eyes wandering all over the place but they were more in tune to staying on Angelica the whole period, only on Angelica.
The bell rang while Angelica was in the bathroom fixing her hair and checking to make sure her boyfriend didn't leave any hickeys on her neck. Friday mornings meant Angelica and Brandon time, lunch on Friday meant Angelica and Brandon time also. Two weeks, two weeks and they would have been together for a year and for Angelica that was big, it was the day they both planned to take each other's virginity, it was a huge thing to Angelica and she fully believed it was a big thing to Brandon as well. She did one last check in the mirror before she stuffed her makeup into her bag and ran out the door making her way to her senior English class, her favorite class, the only class she felt superior in. As she came upon the door she slowed her jog to a slow walk, fixing her hair one last time before finally opening the door.
Chuckie heard the door open lightly as well as Mr. Harrison shifting from his desk ready to finally teach his class.
"Miss. Pickles, thank you for finally joining us on our journey into "The Scarlet Letter," Mr. Harrison's words made Chuckie look up immediately to, of course, see Angelica standing in the doorway sunglasses hanging from the neck of her shirt, a messenger bag thrown over her shoulder, shorts hanging on her hips and white boots on her feet.
"Sorry Mr. Harrison ,I got dropped off late," she lied making her way towards her desk, Mr. Harrison just laughed and picked up his own copy of the book.
"Funny, because last time I checked you drove yourself," his reply made the whole class laugh, Chuckie just stayed silent and watched as a crimson blush crept on Angelica's cheeks.
"Oh yeah, I forgot," she lied sitting at her desk placing her bag on top of it reaching for the book that laid right inside of it.
"Right, Ms. Pickles there are only about four months of school left before you are free to move on with your life, go to college, get a job or just sit on your ass all day, but a valuable lesson that needs to be learned is that of being on time, so on Monday I would like to see you in that seat before the bell rings thank you," Mr. Harrison officially closed the conversation with his famous
'thank you' Chuckie looked at the normally confidant Angelica who now looked like a fragile child as she sat at her desk flipping the pages to the Scarlet Letter.
Angelica kept herself indulged in the words of Nathaniel Hawthorne in his story about the promiscuous Hester Prynne, the words of Mr. Harrison ringing in her ears. Since December everything she did that involved school was failing, yes she did have the highest grade in her AP English class but that was because whenever it came to just that class she pushed herself all of her other classes didn't have as much luck. Her physics grade normally an A was now a C, her Calculus grade a mediocre B was now a C-, her AP Government grade, oh god, went from a high A to a low D, her electives were A's but those classes were not important to her like the other ones were but it didn't matter, her grades were great before but now…now they weren't and it killed her. Her mom never yelled at her but her dad always did, blaming her bad grades on Brandon, but it wasn't his fault-entirely, yes Angelica spent all her time on the phone with him rather than doing her homework but she could tell him she has to go but she never did, she never wanted too. Before December she did tell him, "Oh Brandon, I can't talk right now, I have a calc take home test that I REALLY need to finish," and he'd be okay with it but in December he changed, he began to become more possessive, become eager to talk to her, eager to be with her, that's when Angelica and Brandon time started, Angelica's life revolved around Brandon and herself, no one else.
Chuckie shot out of his desk once the bell rang wanting more than anything to talk to his best friend, or lately as it seemed his ex-best friend ever since December when Brandon decided he wanted Angelica to have nothing to do with Chuckie, their conversations were scarce , normally: "Hi" "Hey" "How's your dad and Kira?" "Good, how are your mom and dad?" "The same as usual" and that was it. It took forever for Brandon to finally see what Angelica didn't and that was the feelings Chuckie so carefully tried to hide. That damn December Chuckie thought to himself slamming his locker shut looking to his right to Angelica who was already turning the corner towards her physics class, Chuckie lost his chance to talk to her for that day because from 3rd period on he never saw her and if he did it was at lunch but since it's Friday its "Angelica and Brandon Day" oh the thought of it made him sick, Chuckie knew what Brandon's intentions were with Angelica ever since that December, that moment Angelica told him they couldn't talk anymore because Brandon wanted her to concentrate on their relationship, bullshit, Chuckie thought he wants to become closer with her so he can get into her pants quicker, that's what Brandon has always wanted but did Angelica believe him when he warned her? No of course not, not her Brandon he would never do that.
"HA!" a maniacal laugh escaped Chuckie's lips, once he did so he looked around to see if anyone was staring at him, thinking to themselves, "Oh look at that weird Finster kid, laughing to himself." But there was no one there, with a sigh of relief he opened the door to his remedial government class wanting the day to end already.
Also I am fully aware that there are grammatic errors at this moment in time, I'm too tired to proof read and I really wanted to get this up once I finished. I hope you enjoyed!
