Hello people. This, of course, is the asked for second part to my
story. I hope you like it enough to review. I appreciate the reviews I
received. Enjoy!
And now the story...
********
A week. A whole week without Merton. What am I gonna do without Merton for a whole week? Tommy thinks dejectedly as he sits in his first period class. All my other friends aren't as great as Merton is. Besides, how am I supposed to give him space when we're in most of the same classes? Glancing over to the desk beside his he notices his friend staring raptly at something at the front of the class.
"May I have your attention please?" the teacher requests, bringing Tommy's attention away from Merton. "We have a new student starting today." He announces gesturing to the young woman beside him. "Class, this is Mary Goodwin. She's just moved to Pleasantville from Salem, Massachusetts."
A feeling of dread fills Tommy as he takes in the girl's obviously Gothic appearance. And the way she seems to be glancing at the desk beside his. Once again looking at Merton he sees his friend can't seem to take his eyes off little Miss Goth. Looking back at the girl, he can understand his friend's obvious attraction. If you liked the dead look, which, of course, Merton does.
"Mary, why don't you take a seat in the empty desk beside Merton." The teacher suggests, pointing to the aforementioned desk.
"I'm Merton!" his friend exclaims, jumping up and smiling eagerly at the girl causing several snickers throughout the class.
Smiling shyly Mary walks quickly to her new seat.
"Now that that's settled let's begin class." The teacher says, turning to the blackboard.
Tommy tunes him out and looks over to see Merton whispering quietly to the new girl, who was actually listening.
I guess he found a girlfriend. Tommy thinks unhappily. But that's a good thing. Right? He doesn't have to avoid me now. He thinks, trying to cheer himself up. He slouches forlornly in his seat as he hears Mary giggle at something Merton said. This is not a good thing.
