I am not profiting at all from this story.
A/n—at the beginning of each chapter it says what day of the week it is. If it says 'Still ______' that means the day of the week is the same as the day before it. (duh?) If it doesn't say 'Still' before it that means it is a new day. Please R&R!

For the first time in what seems like fifty years Specs called me after school.
"Spring broke up with me," he said.
'Oh," I said.
Then he told me about how she was eyeing this guy who wears Cradle of Filth t-shirts all the time. I told him I didn't care.
Then he asked me about what happens in the end of Romeo and Juliet. I asked him if he was joking. When he said he wasn't I said:
"Romeo dies."
"Oh."
"And then Juliet dies."
"Oh."
"And then the feuding between the Montagues and the Capulets ends."
"They both die?"
"Yes Specs, they both die."
"That's not a very romantic story."
"That's because it's a tragedy."
He didn't say anything after that so I hung up.
I wonder why he called just to tell me his stupid girlfriend dumped his stupid ass. I wonder why I was so happy that he called. I wonder why I'm so happy he's single again. I can't be gay: it's Romeo and Juliet. Not Romeo and Romeo.
Play practice tomorrow will sure be uncomfortable.

New Kid sat with us at lunch today. It was hilarious: he almost left. He called Garret 'Pie Eater' and I can see why. I like that name, it suits Garret pretty well, he's always got a slice of pie, even when the cafeteria isn't serving it. I don't know where he gets the pie from sometimes.
The kid's name is William or Skittery. He was really nervous and I haven't ever seen him before. I think he's a bit of a loner. Looks like Spot Conlon has to take another reject under his wing and teach him how to fly. I'm known all over school for that, I must have helped over twenty guys get back on their feet and only Boots and 'Pie Eater' have stayed my friends. People in high school are so unclear they don't know what they want; only what other people want of them.
Personally, I know what, in fact, I'm the most confidant person I know. I've got two great friends, an 85% average, steady girlfriend, stable home life, but not necessarily a perfect life. My father is dead; he committed suicide three years ago. Since then my mom has got a new, better job, and we got a new, better house, and I moved to a new, better school. There have been a lot of 'new and betters'. I think that some people think that my mom is depressed, or at least that she should be. They think that she should be at home popping anti-depressants and crying to her shrink, but she's not like that, my mother is a strong woman.
I know I must seem like a 'momma's boy' and I guess that's because I am. All I have is her and so far that's all I've needed.
A/n: Spot loves his mommy. Not that there's anything wrong with that. I love my mommy. I had to include that, it made Spot's character pull together. Sorry all fans who love that Spot is an independent ass-kicker. If anyone sees him like that at all.
