Chapter 6
I had been walking for about 10 minutes and reached a variety store. I went in to buy a coke. The guy that was working there was eyeing me like I was going to steal something. I was going to say something about it, but at the last minute I changed my mind.
I went back outside and took a drink of the coke. I sat down on the sidewalk when a mustang rolled up. It was Bob's.
"Hey," Bob said as he got out of the car. "You know, you shouldn't be walkin' the streets by yourself."
I looked at him like he was insane. "It's the middle of the day. I highly doubt anyone's gonna jump me in the middle of the day." I paused. "And technically I'm not walkin'. I'm sittin'."
He gave me a look because of my sarcasm. After that he just ignored it. "You gettin' jumped ain't what I'm worried about, its them greasers talkin' to you that worries me." He concluded.
Bob and his friends went inside the store and I took the opportunity to leave. The less I talked to Bob, the better.
Now don't get me wrong, I have no problem with my cousin, it's just he can be very… talkative I guess. It's hard to explain, but he just always has to point me out. And being pointed out isn't one of the many things I liked. I hated it when people point me out in the middle of the street and just start calling my name, or when random people just stop and stare at you. It annoyed me. Sometimes I'd get really mad at the people and say some rude comments. That was one of my problems. I had a temper. It didn't always come out because I can usually control it, but sometimes…
When I got back to the school the bell rang. I rushed to my locker to get my stuff and then ran to my drama class.
"Hey," I said breathlessly as I sat beside Karen in drama class.
"Hey." She replied all hyper and cheerful.
We started talking about the most random things ever. That was my favourite thing about her; we didn't have to be so serious. It was like back home with me and Susan. Unfortunately, our conversation was cut short because the teacher decided to begin the lesson.
Basically all we did was some acting exercises, like the one where you have to be the mirror image of your partner. Of course Karen and I were partners and we were laughing the whole time. That was great though, because it didn't allow me to think. I thought way too much for my own good.
Drama always ended so quickly which was depressing because that was the only class I wanted to last. I wondered if I became more into the other classes if they would go as fast. I shoved that thought out of my head though because after I thought it I realized how stupid it was.
When the class ended I went to my science class. By the time I arrived most of the class was there. I was a slow walker. I walked down the rows to get to my desk when I suddenly stumbled a bit and had to regain balance. I looked at the girl that was looking at me really rudely yesterday.
"Oops. Sorry." She pretended to look all innocent when I knew that she was far from it.
"Uh-huh sure, just make sure that if your foot just happens to be exactly where I'm walking again I'm just going to happen to walk all over it. Got it?" I didn't like her. She was just such a bitch. Honestly, how rude could one person seriously be?
She glared at me as if she didn't believe what I said, but I was dead serious. I opened up my books to what we did the night before and waited. I kept looking up out of the corner of my eye every time someone walked in the classroom. I didn't know why I cared if he came. Sodapop would never go for someone like me. When he walked in though, my heart skipped a beat.
Yeah, I'm cool. I thought sarcastically to myself. He sat down and before he could do anything the girl in front of my turned around and began talking to him.
"Hi Sodapop," She said over excited.
"Hi." He stated. I almost laughed from his expression; he looked kind of scared at her sudden interest in him. Since I couldn't laugh because they would look at me, I pretended to be interested in the homework from last night.
"So I hear you work at the DX," She said conversationally.
"Yep." He didn't seem very interested in the conversation.
I looked back up from my homework. I studied the girls face. I noticed that she wore way too much make-up. I was trying to figure out how she could hold her head up with that much make-up on and she spoke to me.
"What are you looking at?" She asked all rudely.
"I don't know, I can't see beneath the make-up." I mumbled very low. Soda must've heard it because he started laughing. Or at least he was trying not to laugh seeing as the girl was still sitting right there.
"What was that?" She asked.
"Nothing." I said innocently and Soda started laughing louder. I started laughing too when she turned back around, rolling her eyes.
Me and Soda continued to laugh and I noticed she was looking at us from the corner of her eye. She was trying to make it seem like she was talking to the girl beside her, but I saw her look.
"Shut up." I said to Soda, still a laughing a bit. He tried to stop and his laughs came out in little huffs.
The science teacher finally started the class and began taking up the homework. The first thing he did though was a homework check. I didn't have anything to worry about seeing as I had done the work already so I just flipped the page like I was bored when he came by. He put a checkmark for me and Soda because we had done our homework.
It took about 15 minutes just to take up the homework. He took forever because he explained each and every question. I didn't even realize when he asked me what the answer was. Thankfully Soda nudged me and I looked up to answer. I really needed to pay more attention. I dazed out too much for my own good.
When we finished taking up the homework he gave us some introduction work from the textbook. He asked us to read some pages and answer 15 questions about what we'd read. When he sat back at his desk everyone started talking. Including me and Soda.
"You're new in town aren't you?" Soda asked suddenly.
"Yeah." I stated simply. I was still kind of depressed when it came to the whole moving thing. "I just moved here actually."
"Oh. So you been around town yet?" He asked.
"I've kinda had a tour, but I didn't actually go in anywhere. The only places I've been in are the school and some variety store today." I felt like a loser saying that to him. He was going to think I was a loner with no friends.
"Well maybe you should come with me and some of my buddies at lunch sometime. We could show you some places, and we'll actually go inside." He was mocking me, but when it was him doing it I didn't mind.
"Yeah maybe." I would love to go somewhere with him, but I would feel really out of place, especially if we went somewhere with his friends.
"How about tomorrow?"
I didn't actually hear what he said. After he suggested he take me on a little tour, I remembered what Bob told me. If Bob saw me with someone like Sodapop I don't know what he'd do.
All the reviews have been soo good. Thanks so much everyone. Please keep them coming! They make me feel special! =)
