Lunch time at Bullworth Academy wasn't exactly the most pleasant time ever on the count of Edna's vile cooking. But for Peanut, there were bigger reasons other than Edna's lack of cooking skill. It had been almost a day since Lola and Johnny had gotten back together and already Peanut felt like a third wheel. Especially since he was forced to sit with them during lunch.
Peanut couldn't stand sitting with Lola and Johnny at lunch not only for the fact that he was jealous of Lola, but for the simple fact that they never talked about anything that they found equally interesting. Johnny found bikes and cars fascinating, Lola despised them. Johnny was really into dissing the preps, Lola constantly stood up for them (possibly because her and Gord have had sex MANY times while her and Johnny were together). To sum it all up, Peanut found Lola to be the most uninteresting human being alive.
Agh...Well Larry, did you expect this to happen sooner or later? Why of course you did! Ugh...I hate Lola so much. Usually I'm man enough to be strong whenever they reunite from their short break-ups, but this time my tears tried to force themselves out whenever I was still around them. Maybe I've just had enough of Lola using Johnny and I'm tired of thinking of how Johnny could possibly take that..that herpes infested whore back. And the way he looked at me whenever she pretty much outted me to him......*sigh* He more than likely didn't believe her though, so my secret is still safe. I guess I'm cursed to be the lonely and gay greaser out of a group of whorish heterosexual or at lest bisexual dudes that constantly talk about their love lives. Johnny's probably the only one that isn't a slut...he just dates sluts. And it kills me.
"So anyway, at that moment I had just jumped this massive cart that was just right there, in the center of the street, and my flipped at least five or six times in the air before I could land. It was INSANE!". Peanut smiled at Johnny and cheerfully replied with, "Yeah, that WAS sweet! I mean, I'd never be able to flip five of six times, maybe three or four, but definitely not five or six!". Lola yawned, not much to Peanut's surprise. "Blah, blah, blah! Is bikes all you two ever talk about? God, no wonder nobody likes you two!".
Peanut lifted his lunch tray and walked away. He was in no mood to deal with Lola's constant bitching. He turned his tray upside down whenever he reached a trash bin and then he dropped his tray to the ground. He could care less about the state of the cafeteria because it wasn't like it was in good condition anyway.
Afterwards, he made his way to the Shop area. Upon entering, he was greeted by Norton, Ricky and Hal. "Yo, Peanut, over here!" as greeted by Hal. Peanut waved to the group and walked over toward them.
"Hey, looks like that squirt Hopkins actually is true to us!". Peanut nodded and answered with, "I know, Norton, I know". Then Ricky chimed in with, "AND he's back together with Lola.....he's lucky he has a girl....no girl loves me". Peanut sighed heavily.
"Don't remind me Ricky and I swear if you don't shut up about your ex-girlfriend, I'm gonna break your neck". Then out of nowhere, Jimmy Hopkins rode towards them on his crappy ol' skateboard. "Hey freaks, what's up?". Hal gave him a mean look.
"Why the fuck are you here, Hopkins?". Jimmy gave him a mean look back. "Ya'know, you shouldn't talk to me like that since I got your boy out of the nut house". Peanut felt an instant emotion of gratitude towards Jimmy at that moment.
"Yeah Jimmy, thank you so much for getting him outta there. I dunno what I-er-we would've done without him". Jimmy gave him a funny look and answered with, "Uh huh, okay. Well no problem. Just so I can get it across to everyone it isn't my fault for everything that's been happening lately". Norton released a bit of light laughter. "Yeah, we thank you. Especially Peanut. He was so worried that he would never feel inferior to Lola ever again!". Peanut gave Norton a dark stare.
"Hey Norton, don't I recall you saying something about if Jimmy actually did free Johnny that you would devote the rest of this school year to being Jimmy's personal bondage slave?". Hal's eyes grew to the maximum. "Jimmy's gonna make Norton his slave?! That's so RACIST!". Peanut grabbed Jimmy's skateboard and began to beat Hal over the head with it until Hal made a quiet yelp noise.
Peanut then handed Jimmy his board back. "A bondage slave is another term for sex slave, you moron". Hal cursed a bit until he answered with, "Alright, alright, I'm sorry". Norton was now very uncomfortable.
"Well..uh I-I didn't mean it literally, ya'know? I was just....". "Really? My own bondage slave? Wow, that's very generous of you! I have been a bit sexually flustered lately so I think you and I sure be together". Norton's eye twitched. "So...Gary was right? You ARE sexually confused?".
Jimmy let out a loud laugh. "No, I'm NOT sexually confused. I'm a happy bisexual and I've been craving some serious dick lately". Norton didn't feel so good. "But...umm...uh..I'm not gay".
"Oh, you won't be saying that after our first time, now let's go, c'mon!". Jimmy's right hand grabbed Norton's left hand and pulled him with him towards the dorms. Ricky, Hal and Peanut altogether called out, "Have fun, Nortie!". This moment made Peanut feel slightly better about everything, but, nonetheless, he was still morbidly depressed about Johnny.
Wow...Even Norton was able to get a boyfriend....*sigh*
Ricky and Hal eventually headed for the Harrington House so they could pound on some preps. This left Peanut alone in the shop area, still thinking about Johnny. Soon, ironically enough, Johnny found Peanut. "Yo, Peanut. Why'd you take off during lunch like that?".
Peanut, once again, sighed heavily. He didn't know how he could ever tell Johnny how he felt about him. So, at that moment, he decided not to. "Lola kinda got to me. No offence to you or anything, but that chick is very annoying whenever she wants to be".
Now Johnny sighed. "I know, man and I'm sorry. Lola can be overly aggravating at times". Peanut stood in absolute shock. Those were words about Lola that he NEVER expected to come from Johnny Vincent.
Is he actually agreeing with me that Lola's no fun to be around?! Whoa....
"Wow Johnny, I never expected something like that to come from your mouth". Johnny rubbed the back of his head. "I know. That's something I would've never have expected me to say either. Peanut briefly smiled.
"Shouldn't you be getting back to Lola? Where is she anyway?". Johnny had to think for a few seconds. "I think she said something about catching up with her schoolwork or something". Peanut knew that statement was usually a translation for "I have to fuck some hopeless boys, see ya".
The two greasers were once again alone. Peanut could feel his heart beat at the speed of light. Johnny flashed a very sweet smile at the boy. "Peanut, thank you".
What is he thanking me for?
Apparently noticing that Peanut didn't quite understand what he meant by that statement, he continued. "I just wanna thank you for always being there for me. Nobody has ever showed any signs of actually caring about me, not even Lola. But you, Peanut, you're the only person who's actually cared at least a little bit about me". Peanut blushed. "Johnny, I DO care about you. And not just a little bit...I care a lot about you, man".
Johnny now blushed. The moment was so felt so overwhelmingly right and at that moment, Peanut and Johnny had temporally lost their grasp on reality. They were so close to each other, barely two or three inches apart. They stared into each other's eyes with such serenity.
Johnny closed his eyes and began to move his face forward. Peanut did the same and could now feel his heart pounding so fast that he was sure that his chest would eventually burst. The moment was so perfect. Their lips were barely an inch apart.......
BANG! "OW, You little FUCKER!!".
The moment was immediately ruined as the two boys both fell over, Peanut to the left and Johnny to the right. They both got to their feet and ran to the source of the noise.
