One day, one lil' asian dude was getting pretty hungry and decided to pursue a conversation that he'd remembered from the deepest recesses of his mind.
"Wait…. who's Buying?" Mark asks, looking for a previously mentioned conversation
The person diagonally opposite to him replies, "You are...?" Laneisa says.
Looking around to Laneisa, he slowly replies bewildered "Lol wut? Mate I got a twenty on me at most..."
"Mate I got twenty bucks on me too" Laneisa retorted almost instantaneously
"It costs like twenty-one dollars where I'm planning to go." Mark says, trying to think of how this situation will work out in his head, every scenario led to being kicked out and being arrested.
The only thing going through Laneisa's head at the time was ways to insult Mark. "20 cents." she replies bring Mark out of his reverie and leaving him confused with what she said.
"And where's this?" Laneisa questioned, questioning if the place was dodgy as shit or not. She too also seemed to be hungry, at this moment Mark knew he was gonna have to either tell the truth, or bullshit out of his ass.
"Burgerhead, in Penrith, fucking amazing burger there!" Mark exclaims, deciding to go with the truth, at least this way in case she went mad he'd at least have one last good meal
"So food. I'm in." Another person nearby utters out, his voice carrying over Mark's thoughts and again leaving him confused similar to previously when he was snapped out of his reverie.
"Who else is in?" Steven, the person who spoke out, says asking the people around him
"I'm in." Laneisa, the El Salvadorian replied, she knew that she'd knave money off the others and get them to buy her food for breakfast, lunch or brunch.
"Righto, who's got a car? We'll ditch school." Mark inquires, speculating how they'd get there, especially considering the fact that none of them actually had a car. He even considered asking Laneisa's boyfriend to just sneak them in the boot of his car and hijack us to Penrith and out of school.
"Don't even worry, I'll find a car... I got this..." Laneisa countered, probably having the same thought process as Mark had. It most likely wasn't, but who honestly cares.
"Awesome, Steven you willing to knock Miss out so we can make a break for it?" Mark quizzed, already planning an escape route. The door to the front left or breaking through the wall of windows to the right.
"I'll make a run for it out the window to your right Mark..." Laneisa murmured (Note: Exclaimed) not realising that every window in the goddamn classroom was to his right.
"…." Without replying, he looked Laneisa dead in the eye and glared at her with all the deadpanned force he could muster.
Letting out an exasperated sigh he says, "Fucking idiot, you're just like Rav!" associating her to a person whose rights are so low on the "Living Rights Scale" he normally wouldn't even think to compare someone to Rav.
"Also, I'm bolting through the wall in the front, fuck the door and window." he endures on after sufficiently chastising Laneisa on her Rav and Mark level stupidity.
Laneisa had to stop for a moment and think of how that would even work. It also took her another few seconds to realise the fact he compared her to someone so stupid and retarded. It took everything in her body not to yell and slap him in the head.
Whilst this was happening, another person slowly ventured into the conversation, bewildered as to what was happening.
"HOW DARE YOU!" Laneisa bellowed, fuming at the thought. Turning her head and crossing her arm she replied back, "For fuck's sake, do your work" and turned her head, nose up in a huff. Mark couldn't help but notice that while he wasn't doing his work, neither did it look like Laneisa had contributed anything.
As the thought passed through his head, he looked forward to the front of the class and took in the work on the board, a second later he remembered the two other workers on their table, working diligently, copying the work on religion or something and copying it down into their books.
"We should honestly be helping Steve and Corey, but look what's happened." Mary said, musing whether or not he should help them and copy notes as well or just continue his argument/conversation with the El Salvadorian.
"I left for about 5 mins to come back to a full-blown argument, what the fuck?" A newcomer says, her name Melissa says as she giggles at the absurdity of what she'd witnessed for the past 5 minutes, having stayed silent when she entered earlier.
"Join us. It involves food." Laneisa said, trying to entice her into the conversation and also make her forget what she'd been hearing, thus making them seem like normal and sane people instead of the weirdos they all were.
"As long as you don't question it. It's all good." Steven said, not really caring of the situation but staying invested enough to leaving funny remarks and passing comments whilst making it seem like he was doing his work to the teacher at the front of the room
"I want food, someone buy me food!" Mel exclaimed, already thoroughly enticed with the thought of food. "I like food, food is life not Shrek" she said absentmindedly, thoughtfully scratching her chin.
"I'm actually soo hungry. Mark pull out that $20." Laneisa exclaims, angry at him for suggesting food and almost smacking him over the head with her notebook or laptop, whichever she grabbed first would work for her.
"Righto." he says, three seconds later whipping out his wallet and pulling out a twenty-note bill and waving it in her face before putting away and keeping his wallet for safekeeping.
"Still not pulled out. I'm disappointed." Steven said, causing mark to wonder if he was blind considering he had to put his arm in front of his face to wave the twenty in Laneisa's.
"That's what she said." Laneisa giggles out, causing Mark to smirk at the sudden turn in the conversation.
"Eat a dick COREY! Just kidding." Mel yelled from the middle of nowhere, barging back into the conversation with a white mask, surgical buzzsaw and a teddy bear. The moment she finished yelling, she walked straight back out the door.
"The hate for Corey." Steven noted, bemused.
"No? Yes? MAYBE!?" could be heard distantly from outside the hallway. The next thing everyone knew, Melissa burst into the room, high on Mushrooms. "What if the world was actually some alien kid's science project?" she asked, eyes glazed and slowly rocking back and forth on the balls of her feet.
"AHAHAH!" could once again be heard just outside the hallway.
"It would make more sense." Mel continued on her tangent, barely batting an eyelid at what she was saying.
"Mel… what drugs you on?" Laneisa question, all the while slowly tiptoeing away from the glazed girl.
"I promise I didn't get Dylan to drug the entire school" an airy voice piped up from beside her, it was Steven.
"I'm on the same stuff as Jayden smith" Mel said, whilst pulling out a small plastic baggie filled to the rim with a mix of crystal meth and cocaine.
'Life?" Lia enquired, not fully understanding what Mel was holding.
Mark piped up from beside the group, butting back into the conversation. "I'm making this conversation into a story, just look up. Slowly moving through everything said and replacing it with story dialogue." as he slowly typed away at a now seen laptop, each part of the conversation being filed away at the bottom of their religion work.
"This could be an autobiography or something?" steven said, wondering if there were any ways they could make some money.
"THE DAYS OF OUR LIVES. WE COULD REMAKE IT! But it would be about stupid shit like drugs, sex and wondering if dogs can talk." Steven said, an fabulous idea popping into his head. (Note: Extremely stupid and absurd idea, yet sadly normal for him.)
"Sounds like an award-winning book." Steven continued onwards, "An award-winning book." he said whilst miming what was supposed to be a news headline or some shit.
"LET'S MAKE LIKE SHIA AND JUST DO IT!" Melissa said excitedly, still drugged up on cocaine and crystal meth. Then she vanished and a hole appeared in the wall beside the group. No noise had even been produced, just… poof.
"Now this is the end of the first chapter." Lia said, miming how the end of the chapter should end.
End (Chapter 1: The Argument and Absurdity)
