August
When I walked into homeroom on Halloween, the first thing I saw was Darth Sidious, and two mummies. Kids; not the real thing. I knew instantly that it was Julian and his two cronies, Miles and Henry. I was dressed as the Bleeding Scream, which wasn't what they were looking for. They thought I was coming as Boba Fett.
"If he ever thinks he can be in the popular group," I heard Julian saying "just tell him no."
They were talking about me.
"Got it." It was one of the Mummies, "We definitely don't want someone—" He was cut off.
"You mean something. Get it right Jack." He said smiling
Something felt like it exploded in my stomach. The words played over and over in my head. Get it right Jack. My own friend, or now ex friend, was bad mouthing me to my sworn enemy!
Jack chuckled and said "Sorry, you're right, we don't want something," He paused and looked at Julian. "like that." He paused again to look at Julian. "to be popular." All of them started laughing.
"And not to mention," It was Miles/Henry speaking now. "he plays D&D at recess!"
"And guys, I've uncovered a secret about him and it is hardly believable!" Julian whispered "I heard that he isn't—"
This time he was cut off by me.
"Deformed?" I ripped off my Bleeding Scream mask and smiled. Of course they couldn't tell I was smiling but I was. They exploded laughing, so I ripped off my deformed mask and showed my real face for the first time since the day before the first day of school. I had perfect gray blue eyes, placed correctly, normal ears, pimple free tan skin, and a normal mouth. Jaws dropped.
"That is not what I was going to say."
"That this is a wig!" I ripped off my shaggy black hair to reveal spiked up blond hair.
"No."
"That I have a long braid!" I let down my two foot long padawan braid
"No"
"That my name is not August!"
"No"
"That I have served four years of my life in prison!"
"No"
"That I am seventeen years old!"
"No"
"THAT I CAUSED AN ARGUMENT BETWEEN THE BEATLES THAT RESULTED IN THE BAND BREAKING UP!"
"No"
"THAT I COMMITED THEFT!"
"No"
"WHAT IN THE NAME OF PETE IS IT!?"
"Its nothing. We weren't talking about you."
"Who were you talking about then!"
"I'm sorry," Jack interrupted "in the name of Pete?"
"We were talking about Reid." Julian said, ignoring Jack, "and I was going to say his real name is Patrick."
"Then why did you call him a thing?"
"Eh. Cause we're jerks" He said shrugging.
"Oh, that makes sense. And Jack, are we still friends?"
"Friends? No you psychopath!" He yelled. And they ran out of the room screaming, "I'm calling the cops!"
