Nothing Lasts Forever [A Simple Plan Story]
Chapter Two: It Began At Rubber Hide
"Hi, my name is Dylan and this is my friend David" I said while gesturing back towards David.
"Hey" David said looking down at the two of us. Pierre and I both stood up, and Pierre held out his hand for David to shake.
"So you're new?" I asked feeling stupid.
"Yeah, I just moved here from Montreal" Pierre said looking me over.
"Ya? My brother lives there ... Pierrefonds to be exact" I said feeling a little out of place.
David must have sensed it because he moved in from of me.
"Cool" Pierre said staring at me.
"Dude, what class do to have next?" David said changing the subject.
"Chemistry ... but I don't really know where to go." he said looking down at his paper.
"That's with me ... I'll show you" David starting to walk. Later Dyl" David said and smiled.
"Bye Dylan" Pierre said slyly and continued to follow David.
"Bye David" I said and walked to 'Ethics' class. That Pierre kid was sort of a creep.
Eyeing me like that ... who does he think he is? I am not a piece of meat! You know what, I am not even going to think about him anymore
Or so I thought …
At last lunch came, and I guess that Pierre and David are good friends now. I just did not want him hanging around with us. But what could I do. I tried to ignore him ... but things did not go how I planned.
"DYL sit here" yelled my best friend Rhyan.
Rhyan had blue eyes and flared honey blonde hair. She was a lot like David. They both love attention and loved to make people laugh, even if it was at themselves. Rhyan was more emotional then David. She found something special in everything. I guess you can say she is more sentimental I loved that about her.
I pulled a chair close to hers and that just happened to be right next to him. He smirked cunningly and I just rolled my green eyes and sighed rudely.
"So Dylan what class do you have next?" inquired Pierre making a pitiful attempt to start up a conversation.
"Trig " I spat rudely. I was being a little bit bitchy. I mean every time he said anything to me I would turn in the other direction ... or turn my back to him. I will give him one thing he is not a quitter! Annoying and arrogant yes ... but a quitter no. So finally he caught my eye. I then 'accidentally' spilled my crème root beer.
"Damn" he said jumping up his pants especially the groin area dripping wet.
"Ooops" I said not really meaning it. I mean obviously I was faking it ... right?
"Its okay" he said through gritted teeth.
"I guess its cold ... right Pierre" I said with an evil grin.
"Little bit" he said then covering up the area. I just kept up my evil grin and cold stare.
That is when he started to back off.
"I think I am going to talk to Mr. Peer" said Pierre then picked up his stuff.
"Do to need me to show you?" Seb asked he was stuffing is bag with his English homework I had just helped him with.
"Nah ... but I'm good thanks" Pierre said and glanced over at me defeated. He left and then the crude stared spread spend across the table . Every cold stare was directed right at me. They were like a tractor beam to my head.
"What" I asked biting down on a piece of bread.
"Easy on the bitchage there Dylan" shot Jaime.
Jaime had long dark brown hair and brown eyes. She was more quiet and mellow. Jaime and I have known one another since birth. We were inseparable. One thing Jai me had no problem doing was say what was ever was on her mind. The bad thing was that it was usually the truth ... and it was usually bad.
"Bitchage?" I asked confused.
"Yeah! You totally tore into Pierre cool it" said David sounding pissed. Hm ... That's funny. I was so happy and content five minutes ago. Now I was accused of being bitchy.
Wait ... hold on ... one fucking minute.
"No! He is cocky and arrogant 'I gunna get you' dick and If that is bitchy so be it!" I yelled slamming down my tray and picking p my bag. "He's been here all of two minutes and you all are taking your side over mine?" I sneered fire flaming in my eyes. I felt my cheeks burning and my head was about to explode.
"Dyl, were saying he's new and you should chill" said Jaime who all of a sudden got all sweet and tender on me. I was not buying it.
" No ... Fuck you all ... I don't need this shit you wanna have him?" I said with venom in my voice " then we can't hang together" I said my anger raising.
They all just stared at me a circle of blue, green and brown eyes burning holes into me. Everything went silent. I looked one last time at my friends' and shoved my chair into the table. I was so pissed at everything, I saw everything in a shade of red. I stomped off leaving everyone stunned.
"Ms. Kalario please come up to the board" spoke dull Mr. Kasey. I was not even paying any attention ... my mind was stuck on Pierre.
Even when I thought about his name. I got a head-ache. "Ms. Kalario ... now!" he said looking over his glasses and waiting for me to join him at the board.
I got up and dragged myself to the board. I barely completed the problem when I realized how stupid I was. But I was to proud to admit I was wrong. But I wondered if my friends had had enough of me and really did choose ... him!
The rest of the day kind of blurred into a big mess. This one encounter had left me all confused. All I wanted to do was go home, get out my favorite CD and throw paint at canvas for a few hours. But my friends had a different idea.
"Dyllie, you're coming to Rubber Hide and we are going to rock out with some rad bands." Seb excitedly said as he bounded up to me. He still had on his P.E. uniform and his hair was matted with sweet.
"Working hard buddy?" I asked watching his eyes dilate.
"Oh yeah," He said and quickly ran his fingers through his hair back and forth. "You in?'
"Nah, I just want to go home and-" Seb cut me off.
"Great pick you up at like, um, nine-ish." And without letting me speak he jogged off, back to the GYM.
RubberHide was a local bar that sold beers to minors. Next year will be legal to drink, but what's a girl to do when she needs her fix. The only thing to do to not get thrown out of the bar is not fight. Simple, something that I could handle. I had no problems with this, but Jaime was always picking a fight with this girl or that girl. I just tried to stay out of it.
AT RUBBERHIDE
"I wanna go home, they suck!" I yelled into David's ear. I was not being a jerk, the music was playing so loud and the band was sooo bad that I had to yell.
"Com'n, we have fune" David threw a drunken arm around me and bathed me in his breath. I coughed and choke back tears.
"I'm taking you home."
"Nuh-ah" David say trying to get away from me, but it was easy to manipulate him in his drunken state.
Seb and his girlfriend Jaime sat in a booth with Seb's arm resting over Jaime's shoulder. Rhyan stirred her drink and looked pitiful, as usual when David paid no attention. But a new member to our crew was Pierre, who brought his friend Chuck, they amused Seb and Jaime with stories of their past. I had to get out of the memory lane portion part of the night. David was drunk and I didn't want him driving home alone.
"Later, we are going home"
"OOOOHHHH" Chuck joked trying to sound cute. I gave him a quick sarcastic smile and then pulled David from the table. Rhyan looked up and followed us out of the bar.
The cold air whipped against us as I opened David's door first and then carefully closing the door, so not to close him in the door. I ran around to this driver's side of the door and met Rhyan.
"Hey, get him home safe, k?"
"Yes I will, do you wanna come along?"
"No, I think I'm gunna stay here."
"Okay, see you tomorrow?"
"Yeh yeh." She said and ran back to the door, shaking with cold.
I hopped in the driver's side started up the car, and began our journey to David's house. The whole way David kept making passes at me, and I had so far shut everyone down. But David had this way about him. I suddenly felt the walls drop and his cuteness sneak through. By the time we got to his house he had me flirting back with him.
"Come in." David slurred.
"No, I have to go home."
"No. please don't leave me alone. My parents are gone and I hate being in that house all by myself. It's depressing." David said as the moonlight washed his face and the flecks of light green lit up his eyes.
"David," I said leaning in to kiss him. "tell me on thing."
"What," He said in the same fashion leaning in to kiss me. For the record, I was buzzed to. I am not saying falling down drunk, but just buzzed.
"I was right about Pierre, right?" After I said that he paused for a moment. Then opened his mouth to speak, but instead of saying anything he just shook his head 'yes'. Then we kissed, passionate and hard. I felt his tongue against mine. It had been a while since I had been kissed like that. We made our way to the house, kissing the whole way, then ripping clothes off, and the next thing I knew we were having passionate, drunken, sex on his parent's living room floor. It felt sooooo good, but I had forgotten all about Rhyan.
