I was wrong, I woke up with a start. I realized someone had woken me up on purpose, I opened my eyes and saw the face of one angry looking mom.
"Mom what? I was sleeping." He muttered.
At that she glared at him and said, "I got a call from your school today. Do you know what it was about?"
"Nope."
"Don't sass me Wally, you know very well that you got detention, and on the first day of school. Really Wally?"
"It wasn't my fault, one of my classmates locked me in a classroom so I was super late to class."
She sighed and replied, "Just don't get in anymore trouble okay. You remember why we had to move here last year don't you?"
My face heated up as I answered, "Yes mom, I know what happened can I go back to bed now?"
"Sure honey, I'll wake you when dinner's ready."
With that I rolled over and tried to go back to bed, but I slowly realized I wasn't going to be able to. What she had said about my old school had gotten to me. I never wanted to think of that place again, I couldn't believe that my mom would bring it up after what happened. It had been just another day at Keystone High, it was my birthday and the ending of the first semester. I was looking for my girlfriend Kelli, who was the head cheerleader. I had no idea why she was with me, she was way out of my league, but she said that she was in love with me. We had been dating for years, and I always wanted to impress her. My family was wealthy, so I bought her expensive gifts frequently in hopes of making her happy.
Today though, we were supposed to meet up before our last final to talk about winter break. I had my first final of the day that morning with my best friend Luke and we were talking about all of the trouble we were going to get in. The thing was though, Luke was the jock at our school he played every sport, all of the girls wanted to date him and all of the guys wanted to be him, especially me. We were planning a trip to the alps, my family had a place there, and I was going to teach him how to ski. He was my only friend, so whenever I was going on one of my many family vacations I always invited him or Kelli. We were the perfect trio of friends, we had all grown up together hanging out.
I thought I had told Kelli to meet me at my locker, but I waited for around five minutes before I figured we agreed to meet at her locker, which was at the other end of the school. I saw Luke and Kelli talking and I was about to walk up to them when something stopped me. Luke was holding both of her hands, which was not normal, and he looked like he was hitting on her. I would have said something, but I was too shocked to say anything. Then, Luke leaned in and kissed her, on the lips! The worst part was, she kissed him back as if she had already done this a million times. The two broke apart and I lost my cool, I ran over there. I went up to Luke and punched him in the face, which seemed to hurt my hand a lot more than it hurt his face.
"How long have you been seeing each other behind my back?" I yelled.
He sneered at me, and something told me this was the first time I was getting to see the real Luke. "The whole time, loser, we're in love. The only reason I pretended to be your friend and she pretended to date you was for your money and all of the free things you gave us."
"That makes no sense, we've been friends since we were 8 years old."
"Yep, it was no accident that knew two of us introduced ourselves to you that day. We knew how much money you had, and we knew what we had to do. Kelli and I started dating in 6th grade though, if that's what you meant."
"I started dating her in the 7th grade though."
"Yeah, we were wondering when you would grow the balls to ask her out. Didn't you find it strange that a loser like you would be friends with someone as cool as me and date the hottest girl in school?"
At that I went ballistic, I started throwing punch after punch at him. It sounds like I was winning, but in reality I was not, he blocked all of my punches. Then, he easily pummeled me, a teacher had arrived soon after and broke up the fight. She asked Kelli who started the fight, and pointed at me. That's the story of how I got expelled from Keystone High. The one thing that I knew was that I couldn't be like Luke I had to tell Linda about the kiss.
