Chapter 1~ History
I slid into my seat as the bell rang and smiled angelically at my younger brother and our friend, Johnny. Pony snickered and Johnny rolled his eyes. The old dinosaur they call a teacher stepped forward and started asking us questions. I was doodling in my notebook when she called on me.
TEACHER: Mariam, in what year was Marie Antoinette executed?
ME: 1902?
TEACHER: No, apparently you didn't study.
ME: Maybe I did and your reading the date wrong, I mean you could have real bad eyes. Your what? 100 Million years old?
Things got very quiet and Mrs. Ellis wrote out a pass and handed it to me. It was for the principals. What else is new? I headed into the main hallway and the hall monitor stopped me and asked for my pass. I walked past him and as he was about to blow his whistle on me, I whipped out the pass. I grinned and continued. I got to the office and the secretary didn't even look up.
SECETARY: Hi Mari, how's it been? I haven't seen you for what, 2 days?
ME: I'm fine, Susie how are you?
SECETARY: Good. Go into his office, Mr. Jackson will be with there in a moment.
Oh yea, I'm on a first name basis with everyone in the office and in the police station. I walked in and I sat down on his big, comfy office chair and put my feet up on his desk. In a few minutes, he walked in and didn't even bother to say hi. How rude.
JACKSON: Feet off the desk and get out of my chair. What did you do this time?
ME: How ya doin', Mr. J? What, can't I stop by and say 'Hi' to my favorite faculty member? I stayed how I was and he sighed and sat down in the student chair. I always win.
JACKSON: What did you do? Super-glue the tests together? Vandalize something? Give a kid a swirlie? Go inside the boys locker room? Put mice in the cafeteria food?
ME: *pretending to be hurt* Why, Mr. J, you know I only do things once, I already did those. And it wasn't tests, it was mid-terms.
JACKSON: Well, you have History with Mrs. Ellis now. What did you do to the poor lady?
ME: *cough* dinosaur *cough*
JACKSON: I'm waiting Miss Curtis.
ME: Just because I told the truth in class, she sent me here. I didn't do anything bad.yet.
JACKSON: I'll call your brother if I have to.
ME: Fine. I called her a 100 million years old. I was just being honest.
JACKSON: I'm going to call your brother. *gets phone and dials* Hello, this is Principal Jackson at Tulsa High, I'm looking for Darrel Curtis. Yes, I'll hold *wait's a couple of minutes* Hello, Mr. Curtis. I have Mariam down here with me, her teacher sent her down because she made a rude remark about her teachers age. She said she was a 100 million years old...Yes, I'll tell her. Goodbye. *hangs up* He said that he would talk to you when you go home. Now go to class.
ME: Damnit J! You got me in so much trouble!
JACKSON: Detention Monday after school.
As soon as I was out the door, I gave him the finger and went merrily back to class. Its not like I can get into any more trouble. Maybe if I try hard enough I can. A grin crossed my face at the thought then frowned when I thought of Darry. "Man, I'm so busted," I mumbled as I stepped in front of the door to go into class. I slid back into my seat and looked at the boys who were watching me. I mouthed 'later' to them. I sure as hell didn't need anymore trouble. The boys nodded and listened to the dino continue to drone on. Luckily for me, the bell ring 5 seconds later. "Saved by the bell!" I yelled at the ceiling. the boys laughed and we ran out and headed down the hall. Thank god lunch was next, I couldn't stand a class. as we headed to two-bits car I told the boys everything. ending with how busted I am. Two- bit came over and we drove to the DX and got some Coke and had some sweets. I told the other guys what happened and they howled with laughter at the right points.
STEVE: Darry's gonna kick your ass
ME: No shit, Sherlock.
just then a cop came over and put his hands on his hips and looked us over.
MATT: okay, what are you doing? cutting class?"
ME: hey matt. We're just here for lunch.
MATT: *looks at watch* well, you better hurry. you have to be back in 5 minutes.
ME: oh, shit!
Could my day get any worse? oh yea, it could and it would, when I saw Darry later. we yelled "bye" and hopped in the car. Two-Bit drove like a madman to school and we slid inside as the bell rang. We had a study hall together and went to the courtyard and hung out. What? you don't think I'll actually do *gasp* work during study, do u? then we had gym which nothing happened in. We drove to the DX and me and johnnycakes and Pony headed home. As we walked along, I smoked about 5 weeds. Pony looked at me and laughed.
PONY: chill Mari.
ME: Easy for you to say.
PONY: Well, next time don't piss off the teacher.
ME: Don't get mouthy kid.
I wouldn't ever really hit him. He's my baby brother and I love him but that doesn't mean I cant scare the hell out of him. Okay, maybe he ain't my baby brother, he's only two years younger than me since I'm 16. We headed up the steps on the porch and went inside out house. My last words: "Um,...Hiya, Darry!" Next thing I know, I'm staring out my bedroom window trying to plot away out of being ground for the weekend. I knew how to get to him. I wouldn't have dinner. He always worries when I don't eat. I know everyone thinks he worries to much and all, but he deserved this. I knew he was worried when I didn't come out of my room for dinner cause it was oddly silent at the table. Before I knew it, there was a knock at my door. I opened the door and saw Sodapop. I moved aside and he came in and sat down on desk chair.
SODA: Okay, Mari, why didn't you come to dinner?
ME: *shrugs* Maybe I wasn't hungry.
SODA: But you're always hungry except if you're upset or sick. I'm guessing you're upset.
ME: *sarcastic* He's won the prize! Bill, tell him what he won!
SODA: Mari, don't be like that. I just want to talk to you so don't be a brat.
ME: *awed voice* I can't be myself?
SODA: *warning tone* Mari....
ME: soree.
I really was sorry, kinda. I didn't want him mad at me too.
SODA: I know what you did today got you in trouble with Darry but is that any reason to worry him? You know he's got enough problems.
ME: *shrugs* yea, cause it ain't my fault. I was just being honest. You and Darry always taught me to be truthful. I was. Look where it gets me.
SODA: Mari, ever 'the truth hurts'? Well if you think its gonna hurt someone, keep it to yourself unless its something really important.
ME: well, I thought it was. She don't realize she's a 100 Million years old. I was just telling her.
SODA: C'mon. Leave the old lady alone and you wont get in trouble any more. Will ya come eat now?
ME: I ain't hungry. *stomach growls* traitor.
SODA: *laughs* Please do yourself and Darry a favor and go eat.
ME: *sighs* Fine, but only for you.
SODA: Tuff enough.
He went to the door and opened it. I giggled and bowed and went out to have dinner and ignored Darry.
