In the bandhall, Friday, I fingered though random music on my clarinet as I listened to the jabber outside the instrument room. Colleen walked in, followed by George as I flashed the TOP 10. We thought George liked her, along with a handful of other people. She looked at me and smirked, her green eyes narrowing as she did.
Colleen - "Well, I'm gonna break up with CJ."
Me - "Why? Ya'll are so cute together...." I said, shocked.
"He says I'm that special someone that her wants to marry, but I don't want to be that special someone..." she said, rushing through the sentence as her pale face blushed to a light pink.
"Oh... Ok... Well, I'm gonna give Matt the weekend before I break up with him... Give him one last chance..."
"What did Matt do?"
"Well.... Stress, stress and more... stress...." I said with a sigh, "You know, the usual."
Colleen shrugged as she pulled out her clarinet case, "Hey, did you hear about Angie and Jon? She broke up with him..."
I began to laugh, "Gawd, at this rate, our whole school will be single. BREAKUP PARTY!" I bursted out as I giggled madly.
Colleen giggled along with me, as George gave us a strange look, causing us to laugh harder.
"Hey, you," George spoke as he pointed at me, "We'll call you giggles..."
Me - "George, it's been nearly two months since I've known you and you still don't know my name?" I asked, rather annoyed yet happy at the same time.
George - "Lauren, Right?"
"No, Laura!" I stressed the last two letters as I giggled. I poked the senior on his shoulder, only to be poked back starting a poking fight. Using both hands I began to poke him furiously, only to be poked even harder back. Colleen helped me as we both laughed loudly as we pushed him into a corner and poked him till he surrendered.
"Ha! One senior nearly got poked to death by two freshmen... Two freshmen girls..." I said laughing as George slipped out of the room, his face deep red in color.
I skipped out of the instrument room, followed by Colleen, smileing only to met by Matt.
"Hiya!" I said happily, my smile slowly fading as Matt seemed to be depressed, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing...." he said quietly.
"Thats a pretty big nothing, now tell me, What's wrong?" I said a little more demanding.
"You and George... Him calling you giggles and the poking...." He looked up at me, "I'm jealous...."
A small spark of anger flashed as I spoke, "We're just friends, NOTHING MORE!" I said sharply.
I spun on my heel and headed back into the instrument room, anger slowly brewing deep inside me. Muttering angrily to myself, I kicked my clarinet case into my slot - which was on the bottom shelf - as I clenched my fists. Steven, who was sitting in his corner, started asking me several perverted questions.
Me - "STEVEN! Shut up, NOW!" I snapped, staring him down.
Steven - "Yo Momma!"
"Don't you dare mess with me now, or I'll have Danielle bite you." I said with venom in my voice.
This threat made him shut up. Danielle was a freshmen, like me, who also played the clarinet. Last year she seemed to place right next to me almost every time we had a chair test and liked to hit me rather hard, in the same spot over and over, eventually giving me a perment bruise. She also liked to bite you if you made her mad, even biting you for no appearent reason.
I normally don't flare up like this, but Matt's jealously has been around since the beginning of our relationship. Stress from home and the stress he was giving me made my patience level low, making me very agitated and that I snap off easily. Laying my held on the shelving unit as I closed my eyes, I took deep breaths trying to relieve the instant anger. I heard shuffling behind me and felt a hand on my shoulder. Looking up I saw Steven.
"Sorry..." He appologizied, "Please don't have Danielle bit me... I already have her teeth marks imprinted on my leg."
"Your leg?" I repeated slowly as I looked up at him, "Wait, I don't want to know." I said as I pushed the image of Danille trying to bite him on his leg out of my head.
He gave me a brief hug before walking out of the room before I sighed and slowly shook my head after he left.
"Stupid love.... Only if Heather could remember who I was gonna marry." I said smileing slightly.
