Here we go…Everything I say, Is confidential business.. And the truth. The Deadly Truth…
I sat in art class, today was an odd day. Electra, her best friend, sat across the table from her. Her boyfriend, Tumblebrutus sat next to her, under the table they held hands. I let out a sigh and started cutting the construction paper for their art project. I hated when Electra got to clingy with her boyfriend, knowing that if they would ever break up Electra would "kill herself.". They are having a rocky relationship. I look at Mistoffelees sitting next to me, he rolls his eyes.
It's too quiet, I make a dirty joke about glue. For a moment everyone except Electra laughs. She dislikes it when I talk around her boyfriend, as if I am going to steal her stinky boyfriend.
I feel a warmness behind my back, I look around. There is Pouncival. I look him right in his green eyes with a little bit of yellow around the pupil. He smiles at me, I smile back. He takes the chair right by Mistoffelees and sits down. Turns out he sees the sticky glue on my hands and makes a really…. Weird comment about it. I giggle a bit as he puts the glue bottle somewhere, in between his legs. Mistoffelees looks surprised, after many moments of Pouncival and me flirting, saying dirty things..
" You guys should go out." Mistoffelees says.
Electra and Tumblebrutus smile, he jokes " Yeah, They should."
Pouncival looks at me, I look at Pouncival. I shake my head no, we both knows my heart belongs to someone else. Mungojerrie, I loved him since the moment I met him.
But, He has to like Electra, and she just has to rub it my face, I get very emotional when she brings it up. Most of the time, I threaten her that If she would EVER go out with Mungojerrie, I would make her deep throat a door knob.
Awkward Silence. Until me and Pouncival flirt some more. I slowly forget about Mungojerrie and focus on Pouncival. I can tell Electra is mad at me, she grits her teeth. She can't stand to see me happy.
Electra makes the table focus on her, " Oh, Did I tell you that I might be getting a nickel bag from DJ."
I roll my eyes, I know there is no DJ. She thinks that if she talks to Tumblebrutus about drugs that she doesn't do that he will like her more See, Tumblebrutus does catnip. I used to then I quit. Since Electra and him have been going out she makes up stories about drug deals and the hood. She doesn't know anything about the hood! I know about the hood! Before I moved to our school I used to live were there were gunshots, murders, drug deals everyday..
But, To keep the peace I smile. I hear Tumblebrutus's deep voice, " Hey, How much is a nickel bag?"
Electra doesn't know, she is such a liar. " Erm….. Fifteen bucks?"
Tumblebrutus knows she is a liar " Exactly."
Electra grunts. Nobody likes Electra. They all know she is a liar and she has no personality.
I feel Pouncival's leg bump into mine, My heart skips eighteen beats, I feel a spark between us, one that Mungojerrie and I never had. Well.. We used to.
" Go put away the scissors." Electra commands.
I look at Tumblebrutus, he gives me a sympathetic look, I get up and put them up. I see Mistoffelees go mess with Plato for a moment. I rush back to my seat. I see Mistoffelees quickly sit down.
" I'm tired of the F*cking Sh*t!" Plato yelled as he smacks his head and hands on the concrete wall He takes off his sweater I see Electra lean into Tumblebrutus, she smiles a deviant smile. I lean into Pouncival for protection we hold each other's hands for a moment.
Plato runs after Mistoffelees, who doesn't see him coming. " I'm tired for your fat a**!"
His fist is so close to his face. About to punch him straight in the jaw. Luckily, Mrs. Jennyanydots, the art teacher, comes and yanks Plato away. Everybody at our table breaths in a collective inhale.
I look at Pouncival, who is still holding my hand. We are both blushing, We both loose our grips on each other.
" I'm getting the hell out of here, Plato might come back." Pouncival says as he walks away.
I crawl under the table and kneel on my knees right by Electra. We discuss what just happened.
" I thought you like Mungojerrie. Don't act like you don't like Pouncival, Teazer" Electra says smiling. I just want to smack her in the face. But, If I would, apparently her boyfriend would blow my head off, I know Tumblebrutus wouldn't we were friends before they became a couple.
It is almost time to go home, We pack up our things and clean up.
I look at Pouncival from across the room.
Our eyes meet one more time, We both know we can't be together, Not because of Mungojerrie, but because of the drama that would happen. For example- Electra would probably be pissed, as she can't be happy for me… Sometimes I wish that Electra wasn't my friend.
I feel Mungojerrie behind me, we bump into each other. I don't feel a spark this time. I look at Mungojerrie, we would be going out if it wasn't for his crush on Electra and that we are friends. I smile a bit at him, He looks at me. Nothing. There used to be a spark, not anymore, not since he admitted he liked me and Electra.
I sigh, I feel something hold my hand. It's Pouncival. I giggle a bit. He giggles. The bell rings and he stops holding my hand, We walk down the hall we act normal, as if nothing is going on between us. For now its our secret.
