I'm bored. I think I am going to go to school today. You know some days are just lost in-
AHH FUCK! Apparently I am out of hot water.
"You're a bitch Dino!" I yell at the ceiling. My Landlord sucks. So I take a quick
shower. After I get out, I lite a smoke and put some old t-shirt on at the same time. Bad idea I
almost burn my hair off. I trip over an empty pizza box on my way to the kitchen. Great, now
there is old cheese between my toes. There is nothing but mini-wheats. Not the good kind either,
the kind with no frosting. Oh well, I am just happy I have milk that isn't spoiled yet. I pick up
the phone dial her number. I would have put it in speed dial but that takes effort.
"Shot?" I sing a little in an E sharp. There is silence at the other end of the phone. "You
there?" I ask as I wait for my cereal to settle.
"Yeah." I am pretty sure I just woke her up. I can just picture her, hair all tangled, her
body tangled in her sheets.
"You going to school today?" I ask between chewing.
"No." I can hear her mom in the background yelling something about socks.
"Oh come on, why not?"
"I got a test in physics. I ain't going. Are you?"
"Yeah, I haven't gone all week and I am bored." Silence. "Come on, your being a bitch."
I laugh, she never gets offended, she calls me bitch more than I do her.
"No! I'm not going, I don't feel like it."
"Look, you sit by Brendon in physics don't you?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Just cheat off him."
"Alright," She decides "But your picking me up."
"Okay, half hour. See you then, bye." She makes some noise that I assume is a 'bye' and
hangs up. I leave right away and take 3rd so I can jack a cup of coffee from Keatons' (I know a
guy who works there so it's really easy.) About a half hour later I got to Shot's place. A door
opens and her mom is standing there.
"Oh, Kristen is in her room." Ms. Hunter says sightly looking up from her magazine and
moving back into her den. She never liked me much. I find my way easily to Shot's bedroom.
"Oh Shit no Shot." Ha, that's funny. I stand there to find her back in her bed, in her Pj's,
and sleeping. I walk over to pull the heavy curtains back revealing a bunch of sun light.
"Ahgghfu!" She moans. I clear some books off a table so I can put my coffee down.
"You promised me you would go to school." I sort through the various piles of clothes
on the floor and find a decant long sleeved shirt and a good smelling pair of jeans.
"Let's just go in late." She grumbled. I sat her up and tried to dress her but she slumped
back down. I looked at the window and got one last idea. There was a little bit of snow on the
roof left. It was dirty but non the less I made a snowball out of it.
"I HATE YOU!" Was what she said after I through it at her.
"Shot if you don't get up now, I'll leave without you!"
"Fine." She can be so temperamental. I searched a moment for the phone, which at the
moment was in her trash bag.
"Dreamer you going to school?" She made some yes noise "Meet you there." And I hung
up.
I walked the few blocks to school in Brooklyn. When I got to the parking lot Dreamer
was already there. She was in the usual apparel; red shirt from Carlot Ruse (It was so expensive
but if she wants to spend her money...), jeans, and a black coat. She is smoking but I can't tell if
it is weed or a ciggie.
"Hey,"
"Hey." She says putting the cigaret out under her shoe. We started to walk to class.
"Why weren't you there last night?" I asked referring to the gathering last night.
"I had work." I can't stand the place she works. I don't know how she does. It is so
loud and smoky. It's a little club in Manhattan called Charlie's. It's just a typical club. "I saw
Jack later and I gave him my order. Why isn't Shot here?"
"She was tired. After lunch I am gonna get together with her though. I'll call Fish and
Chonie too. Wanna come?"
"Oh like a girls night?"
"Yeah. A girls night."
"Sure. I'll go." I don't see Chonie and Angelfish as much as I used to, they dropped out a
while ago." The bell rang and we left each other.
The rest of the dy was a typical day at school. I used to have that one teacher every year
who wanted to "save me" from drugs and sex. Usually after October they quit trying. Chemistry
I had homework, which I'm gonna blow off because I probably won't even come tomorrow,
drama I loved, as usual, and geo trig I found out I failed yet another test. How exciting.
Shot never showed up, as I figured. I am in the parking lot right not and Dreamer hasn't shown up yet. She's probably talking to David or something. They have been going out for a while now. I personally don't see why she likes him. But hey that's just me. I pick up my cell.
"Dreamer, you walking home with me?" I yell into the phone. I'm kinda pissed off now because I missed lunch.
"Oh sorry," I can hear a guy in the background. "David is giving me a ride home." I can hear Less in the background more than her. "I can't make it tonight either," She trails off.
"What? I can't hear you."
"I said I can't..." Uhh, I hate cell phones.
"Hold the phone in the air."
"What?" I repeated myself. "Okay she yelled." From a distance.
"Less shut the fuck up or I am going to put Teddy down the freggin garbage disposal!" There is no noise on the other line.
"I said I can't make it tonight either. Something came up." She finished.
"Okay." I ended the call on a sad note. Alright, I guess tonight it's just Chonie, Fish, and me tonight. You know, some days are just lost in thoughts.
AHH FUCK! Apparently I am out of hot water.
