Mako's Message: … I tried. I really did. This was all I had though. Don't have much else to say except I hope you enjoy it.
Oh, and check out the forums. Lots of fun discussions to be had there.
Marcus is an evil bastard.
He was also serious.
After I'd calmed down, I thought, "Hey, this wont be so bad. At least I can still eat lunch with Dave at school."
First day at school I found him sitting alone with Katie who was apparently still letting him have it. He was sitting with his head in his hands, and when he looked up I could see a pretty ugly bruise on his jaw. I kind of cringed when I saw it. Wondering how he'd explained it to Katie wondering if I'd come up, or if this had brought out MY secret as well... It shouldn't have though. Now that Katie knows what he's been up to, it should explain any bruises he gets.
I should show him how to apply make up to cover them, if I ever get a chance. It's been working out pretty well for me.
I thought it'd be a good start on making it up to him to go rescue him from his girlfriend, but before I even got there I was stopped by one of the teachers.
"I'm sorry, but you're not allowed to have any contact with Dave Lizewski."
I stared at her, trying to wrap my head around what she just said. The school wasn't going to allow me to see Dave? The fuck?
What I said was, "What do you mean I can't have contact with him? He's my best friend, we've been eating together for months."
And that's when I learned what a magnificent bastard Marcus is, "Your father called into the school. He's taken out a restraining order. You're not allowed to be within fifty feet of him."
He found a way to keep us apart even at school. Gotta hand it to him for meaning it when he said I wasn't going to see Dave again.
Without any real options (I mean what would kicking her ass accomplish?) I turned around and went looking for Angela and Jessi.
Trying to explain why I wasn't going to be able to see them outside of school for the next two months turned out to be trickier than I expected. I mean, really, how do I tell them, "I'm a super hero, and my dad found my cache of weapons, so he's not letting me out of the house for the next two months"?
When they asked why, the best I came up with was "He found some stuff I wasn't allowed to have."
Their response?
"Drugs?"
"Alchohol?"
"He found your sex tape?"
And here I thought that they were going to just forget about that. Still, I clamped my hand down on Jessi's mouth before she she could say anything else. Between us, fine, I'll tolerate it, but we were in the school lunch room.
I told her, "Watch your mouth or I'll shut it. Permanently."
I let her pull my hand away and she said, "Jeez Mindy. Harsh much?"
She has no idea how harsh I can be.
It amuses me sometimes.
Marcus wasn't home when I got back, of course. It made me wonder how he plans to keep me home when he has shifts that aren't while I'm at school. He left a note, though, saying he would know if I left. Don't know how, but after the restraining order I wouldn't be surprised if he wired the house with alarms.
Since I couldn't leave, I spent the rest of the day in the weight room room until I decided to go eat. And after that it took care of my homework. Now I'm doing this.
I wanted to talk to Marcus tonight but I don't think I can stay up much longer. I guess shouldn't have worked myself so hard. Don't really have anything better do though, since I can't leave the fucking house.
