I don't own them unfortunately. There ya go.
Bender stared at his reflection in the bathroom mirror before leaving for school. 'Beautiful,' he thought. 'A big ass burn mark to start off the week.' The left side of his face was burnt and left red. He ruffed up his brown hair to try and hide it. 'Okaaaay…THAT didn't work.' Once again, Bender tried to conceal it.
"Fuck it," he murmured, walking to the front door. On his way to school, he was tempted to skip it since he really didn't want to grace everyone with his presence and have a huge burn mark, but he decided to tough it out. Allison was sitting in a corner of the front of the school on a bench. At first Bender was just going to keep on walking, but something told him to stop.
"Uh…hey." She looked up from her gaze at the grass to face him.
"Hi, I didn't think you'd stop."
"You saw me?" he asked in a surprised voice. She nodded. 'Thank God I stopped,' he thought. 'Another think to make me look like an asshole if I didn't.'
"You wanna sit down?" Bender shrugged and sat next to her. They really had no clue what to say to each other. Everything had been covered on Saturday. After a few minutes she commented, "You look tired."
"Yeah, we'll the night goes by quick when you're knocked out on the floor." Allison gave him a look. 'Shit, did I just say that?' At that moment Brian came jogging toward them. 'Great.'
"Hey guys," he said cheerfully.
'Christ, why's he so happy?'
"Hi, Brian," Allison said. "How was your weekend?"
"As good as it can be with my parents." Bender stared at the ground to try to avoid eye contact with them. "What about you, John?" He cringed at that name and shrugged.
"Okay, I guess." Brian nodded and sat down next to them. It got quiet very quickly then. 'They saw it. I know they did. How can ya miss it?' Just then Allison gave a little squeak as she saw Andy. 'Oh, this should be good. $10 bucks he doesn't come over…wait, who the fuck am I betting with?' Andy apparently noticed the three of them sitting nearby and gave a little head bop. 'I guess I won the bet.'
Allison's face dropped greatly.
"Maybe he's just busy right now," Brian reassured. She nodded.
"Right, he's just busy." Bender heard a car drive up to the curb and looked up. Claire and two of her friends got out. Bender felt his stomach jolt.
'She's not gonna come,' he told himself. 'Why would she? She's got her friends. I don't want her to come over. Don't come over, princess. Just keep on walking.' Just as Bender had thought, Claire didn't even look at him. He could, however, hear their snickering from behind him. 'Fuck.'
Thanks for all the reviews. Keep 'em coming!
