Past Emotions: Chapter Two:: Garbage Cans Suck
The wheather was hot, humid and almost
unbearable. Tetsuo stood by the chain link fence almost his whole
time outside. He had been crying. Some kids earlier beat him up
and stole his action figure. Knowing he couldn't defend himself,
he found himself next to the fence crying.
The fence went around the whole children's park, except for an
entrance big enough for a car, that had swining chain link doors
that could be opened and closed by the adults. Tetsuo noticed a
boy approaching him. He backed into the fence. It was Kaneda. He
met Kaneda the night before in his new room.
He was holding his action figure in his
hand. Kaneda had a bloody nose and he looked tough.
" Here." He extended his hand with the action figure.
Tetsuo stared at it. He slowly reached out and took it.
"They always do that to the new kids." Kaneda sniffs
his nose, and bends over the water fountain and washes his nose
and takes a drink of water. He stands straight again and wipes
his nose with the back of his hand.
" You never told me your name." Kaneda says. " I'm
Kaneda." He says.
Tetsuo stares at the ground. " I'm..Tetsuo.." He says
shyly.
" Okay, do you wanna go play?" Kaneda asks. Tetsuo
slowly nods and they go over the the swings. They become good
friends, and eventruly get put into highschool. Kaneda starts a
motor gang and Tetsuo with others are in it. They meet a sworn
enemy gang called the Clowns and are always beating the living
crap out of each other.
" Tetsuo..?" Kaneda searches all
the classrooms for him. It's 4:30 PM. " Where the hell...?
TETSUO!!!!!" He screams down the halls. He opens the door to
the video/tech room and Tetsuo is lieing on a table sleeping.
" WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING IN HERE?!" Kandeda
shouts.
"hmmm? Kaneda? What?" Tetsuo sits up and rubs his head.
" C'mon you dope! We gotta meet up with the gang and get
those bastards!!" Kaneda grabs him by the wrist. Tetsuo
refuses to go. He has something to say first.
" That's how I got here! I was walking out to my bike, and
all those clowns jumped me and I wake up in here!!" Tetsuo
says, clearly showing the sighns of a black eye, dried bloody
nose, and bruised forhead and temples.
Kaneda is silent for a moment, and releases his wrist. "
Oh." He manages. Tetsuo crosses his arms.
" Well, let's go than so you can get your revenge."
Kaneda shouts.
Tetsuo smiles silently and follows him out to their bikes.
Stuff always happens like that, than we go out and beat the shit out of the Clowns. Even though we always destroy them they keep comming around. And not only that, they come to out school. Out dumpy litlle shitty school and try to pick up our women! I mean c'mon!
Tetsuo sits in class thinking about their previous escapades.
" Kaneda is always the leader. He's the one who tought me
everything about riding and everything..but does that mean I
don't deserve a chance to get ahead too?" Tetsuo thinks
starting at Kaneda silently out of the corner of his eye. Kaneda
notices and throws a crummples peice of paper, hitting him square
in the forhead. Tetsuo laughs and opens it.
Hey you moron, instead of staring at me
you should be staring at a girl.
You need to get out more. Kaneda
He wrote a response on the sheet and tossed it back at him. Kaneda read the response and tossed it in the garbage with a frown. It read:
I was staring at a girl. Tetsuo
Kaneda flipped him the bird, and they both laughed. The teacher heard them and started bitching again. He always bitches out people who talk.
After class, they headed over to Kaneda's to drink a bit and ride their bikes around the local clown neighborhood stirring up trouble.
Tetsuo smiled. He loved this life. He loved
the now. He didn't care about his past anymore. No one knew. No
one would ever know. No one would ever find out. He smiled and
pulled back the throttle some more. Kaneda glanced back at him in
his mirror. He sped up. Tetsuo laughed and they raced down the
streets, untill Tetsuo smashed into a bunch of garbage cans and
Kaneda had to help him out and get his bike running again.
Stuff like that happened all the time too. Even though, Tetsuo shrugged it off. He loved this life.
To be continued.....
