Alright, now that all that's over. Man! Stupid Mike walking off with Bella like that. FSSH! Whatever. Alright. Books, books. Wait, we're all leaving right after homeroom so, what's the point?
"Hey man," said Eric, "Party at the Black's house."
"Party at the Black's?" That can't be right. How are we going to even get in? So I start turning around to ask Eric about this more to his face than to my locker. "There's a party at Mr. Bla-" I was cut short. Right there in front of me. In flesh and bones, was not only Eric, but Mr. Black.
"Edward." He said, acknowledging my existence. "That's fantastic! Party at Mr. Black's? You know what's weird, that I'M Mr. Black. So maybe I should be there."
I saw the look of pure pain on Eric's face. I can't believe I was so careless. I didn't even want to go! I shouldn't have ruined it for everyone like that!
"Edward, you did the right thing." Principal Black told me.
I couldn't take it anymore. I just walked off to homeroom. Luckily there where only a few people inside. But that still wouldn't change the fact that in a few minutes everyone in the senior class would probably chase me all the way to my house with torches and pitchforks.
And there was Mike, sitting a row away. Where was Bella? I mean, it was official that they were 'together'. But maybe not, considering the fact Mike was whispering to Jessica things such as 'I love you Jessica. I love you so much." How dare he cheat on Bella.
It was almost at that instant that Bella stepped inside. It was too bad that Mike noticed and stop sending his love words to Jessica. "Hey sweetheart." He told Bella. She probably said some words of greeting to him back, but I didn't really pay attention. All I noticed was when Bella looked down for a moment Mike mouthed something like 'call me' in Jessica's direction. Man! I hated that guy so much right now!
"Settle down people! Settled down," yelled my homeroom teacher, "I know it's all part of skip day tradition. You sign in, then you skip out. Nothing wrong with that, it's what makes America great. However for the next 45 minutes-" I decided I didn't need to hear whatever he was going to say. I mean, my life was probably going to end in the span of one minute here!
"Edward, are you okay?" Bella asked me. Sure I would have been ecstatic if she would have talked to me any other time. But did it have to be just as I was about to die?
"Jasper!" yelled our teacher, "It's your turn to take attendance for the class today." He finished as he threw the attendance notebook at Jasper who somehow managed to catch it.
"Ummm," Started jasper as he stared at the closed notebook for a brief second before tilting his head completely back and then commencing to look around the classroom. "We're all here dude." Jasper said as he handed back the notebook.
At that instant the pa turned on and I knew my life was going to end there and then.
"This is Principal Black," he yelled through the system much louder than necessary, "I have a special Senior Skip Day announcement! I have Eric here with me who has something to share with you guys."
""I'm sorry! I'm sorry," he cried out, "It's my fault! I planned the skip day party!"
"By the way," Principal Black cut him off, "I just spoke to Harvard University where he was planning to attend school in the fall. He will not be going now! How many of you would like to join him in the minimum wage club? For instance! Ryan Verhoeven! Sill interested in going to Michigan State? Stephanie Major! I suppose you're still interested in Cal Arts? In addition, there's something very important here that I want you to know. I would not have been privy about his information without the aid of a very special student," no! He wouldn't dare! I mean, yes, we don't get along in the best of terms, but even he's aware that I'll die if he spills this information, "So as you're going through your day hitting the books. I want you to think to yourselves. Maybe I should be a little more like Edward Cullen." That's it! That's really all it takes for instant death.
Groans emitted from practically every person that was sitting in that classroom!
"I can't believe you Cullen!" shouted Mike who just jumped over the row of desks and students that were separating us so that he was now standing right in front of me.
"Alright Mike! Knock it off!" yelled our homeroom teacher.
"NO! NO! NO! NO," fought back Mike, "This is freaking bull shit! Edward Cullen here ruined our skip day party!"
"Calm down Mike." Said Bella sweetly.
"Chill out dude." Emmett suggested. He was obviously not affected with the whole lack of skip day party happening. Truthfully, both of us were probably not even gonna go.
"Alright Mike take it easy," I never thought I would say this but, thank goodness for homeroom teachers, "Ok people! It happened, I know it sucks-"
Again, I felt the need to block out everything that he was saying. I mean, I want to die right now. I wanna die.
Eventually, I couldn't take it anymore so I just walked out of the classroom. I had to fix this someway, but I wasn't going to think about that while everyone else was glaring at me. In the hallway I saw Tyler Washington. "How's it going?" he asked.
"Ummm...I- I'm alright. How are you doing?" I asked.
"Shitty."
"I uh…I heard about your brother, I'm so sorry."
"Yeah, it sucks. I had to write the freaking eulogy. I mean, I didn't expect him to die so quick, so I was still working on it."
"Aw Jesus, that's rough."
"FSSH! Now I gotta change all this cancer crap into parachute malfunction before the funeral today!"
"Funeral? Wa- wa- wait a minute. Where's the funeral service?"
"At my auntie's house."
"You hang in there okay."
"Thanks man." He replied as he left.
Funeral huh? Ok, alright look. I know this is bad okay. But look at me! I'm desperate here. My entire class hates me; I'm backed up against a wall! Alright!? So don't judge me. I know exactly what I'm going to do to make it up to everyone.
"A skydiving accident?" Shrieked Principal Black.
"Yes sir." I stated.
"I thought you said he had cancer!"
"Oh he did sir."
"So if a kid has cancer, what's he doing jumping out of an airplane?"
"Well, he was living life to the fullest. And I think its only fitting that we take a page from little Jamal Washington's short yet fearless life, and that we set aside whatever excellent curriculum our teachers may have prepared for us this afternoon, and instead suffer through a crueler but ultimately powerful lesson. That is, the frailty of human life."
"I don't know Edward. It sounds a little far fetched to me."
"Mr. Black, if I may. You need to ask yourself. Why would I tip you off the location of the skip day party, saving you your house and your personal belongings from a vicious thrashing, might I add, only to create some fantastic mirage?"
There was a long pause in the room before Mr. Black opened his mouth to speak.
"You know, if this came from anyone else but you, I'd be a little suspicious. We're not so different you and I."
I think I'm gonna puke!
So then and there Mr. Black grabbed the microphone. I don't know if he did it to try and sound cool or what. But he tried to imitate the dramatic dude at the movies who usually starts him lines with 'in a world where…' yeah…and I emphasize on the TRIED part.
"A school lies in mourning," he started, "A little boy has died. So I declare this day, 'Jamal Washington Day'."
Outside I was standing with what have to be my two best friends Emmett and Dallas. There we were as we watched the entire senior class cheer as they walked out the school's front doors.
"Okay Cullen," started Dallas, "I'm actually impressed with you man."
"Yeah," added Emmett, "Way to save your butt from the entire senior class!"
"So what now?" Asked Dallas.
"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!" I yelled before anyone actually left school grounds, "Everybody, hang on one second. Please um, I know I really messed things up today with my big mouth," I started as someone interrupted by yelling 'you suck,' "uh-huh," I somewhat agreed, "But you see, we can still turn this into the best skip day ever. We'll have the party at my house." I offered.
"Cullen, that's so sweet of you," Mike said to me in this phony niceness of his, "And I bet you have a whole basement of alcohol for us to drink?"
I couldn't answer that. I didn't have any alcohol! So what was I gonna say? Yes, and then have everyone bombard my house asking where it all is?!
"No?" he asked catching on, "Look, you're in over your head," he said in his snarky attitude as he turned towards Bella, "Let's go." He told her. As he and the rest of the senior class walked away.
I was watching everyone leave as this man, who looked like he was definitely too old to be in High School approached us.
"I know where to get you booze." He said.
Finally, we all gathered into Dallas's car. I figured that the man was probably Dallas's friend because I seriously doubted that Dallas would just let anyone into his car.
The man told us where to go. When we arrived, we gave him $40, and he got out of the car.
"How do you know this guy?" Dallas asked me.
"I don't know this guy." I fought back.
"Well how do you know him?" He asked Emmett.
"I don't know him! I thought he was your friend!" Emmett fought back, "Holy shit that's a lot of booze for $40." He added as we watched him approach the car with a shopping cart filled with barrels of who knows what!
He opened the trunk, and run his hand through his 'lack of hair' before loading the barrels into the trunk. At that instant, the screen of the house we were parked in front of practically came flying off the hinges just as this stranger man closed the trunk shut. I couldn't help but notice the man that came out of the house. He was a burly man, with a rifle and…wait a minute…a RIFLE?!
"That guy's got a gun." I tried to tell Dallas as calmly as possible.
The stranger man got inside the car and calmly said "we can go now."
"The car won't start!" Yelled Dallas as the man was slowly approaching. Eventually he got close enough to smash the window closest to Emmett just as Dallas got the car to start and sped away. "DRIVE! DRIVE!" I yelled. As if it would make a difference. However, the burly man fired one shot which hit the Dallas's back car window.
"He broke my window!" Dallas yelled before starting to laugh, "That was awesome!"

"Yeah that was a tough break. Cancer boy dying in a freak skydiving accident," started Edward's homeroom teacher as he and Mr. Black flipped through the newspaper, "Yeah…I did a little parachuting work myself."
"Did you?" Asked Mr. Black.
"Yep! My instructor told me that one in 17,000 go bad, and only a quarter of those are fatal. Would you be surprised if I said that only one in 3.8 kids have cancer?"
"Okay."
"And his funeral lands on Skip Day, I mean what are the odds. Gotta be astronomical like getting the lottery. Maybe I'll go buy a lottery ticket right now."
(At Emmett's house)

So Emmett got down to pick up his speakers. Man! Those things were HUGE!
"So what's your deal man?" Dallas asked Lack of Hair.
"I LOVE High School!" He replied.
"Do you huh?...What are you nuts?!"
"This is the best time of your life!"
"Really?"
"You build your future on the foundation that's poured during High School!...Don't squander it son." He insisted as he then looked out the window and started talking to this lady whom I did not recognize.
"Hello Charlie." He said. Wow! A woman named Charlie? That's intense!
"Hello Dominic." She replied.
So this guy's name was Dominic huh? Okay then.

"Hey Laurent!" yelled Mr. Black, "What do you know about this Washington kid's funeral?"
"So what you're saying is that just because I'm black, I gotta know where every other black person's funeral is at?" Laurent yelled obviously offended.
"Oh Jesus."
"That we all know one another!"
"Here we go."
"That every black person is a freaking cousin!"
"Frankly, yes." He stated obviously irritated (I don't want to offend anyone but it's in the original script…SORRY!)
"Well I'll have you know that I got two cousins! James and Victoria! And they're all white!"
(At the funeral)
No one's POV
"And now Jamal's uncle would like to sing a song in loving memory." Said the priest.
"This goes out to Jamal yeah," said the uncle before he started rapping,
"At first when we hear it,
We thought it was just a rumor that,
Little Jamal our homie, your brother, had a tumor.
I looked up to God and said he was looking so feeble,
The next thing that we knew, that little kid was getting chemo.
I rememberwhen he asked me looking so damn cute,
Hey Uncle do you think I can jump from a parachute?
So I stood there just smiling with a tear in my eye,
Thinking shit that black kid really think he can fly."
The Uncle kept rapping as Tyler's cell phone started ringing. At first, he was hesitant to answer, but eventually he did pick up.
"Hello?"
"Tyler? Is that you?" asked Mr. Black.
"Uh, yeah. Who's this?"
"It's Mr. Black."
"Okay Mr. Black, what do you want?"
"What going on over there Tyler?"
"What do you think! I'm at my brother's funeral."
"Doesn't sound like any funeral I've ever been to…more like a party to me."
"Who are you talking to?!" Tyler's dad asked infuriatingly.
"It's my principal Mr. Black." Tyler responded in a hushed voice as to not disturb his rapping uncle.
"Gimme that!" Tyler's dad responded by yanking the phone from Tyler's hands and closing the phone shut.

"Where are you going?" Laurent asked skeptically.
"I think that Edward Cullen tricked me. And that there really is a skip day party going on!...And I'm just the guy to bust it!" Mr. Black replied.
Wow. This was long. But all those reviews made me so happy that my fingers refused to stop typing! Okay so now…Again…I still have a lot of spots open in this story. Next chapter will definitely have the scene with Jasper/ Snippy's house. One of my favorite scenes. The answer to the last question of why Jasper had the part that he did is because: The actor who played Jasper in the Twilight movie, (Jackson Rathbone) also played Snippy (the pot head) in Senior Skip Day.
And so…here's the next question to get into this story. I do accept more than one winner, just so y'all know. So you can totally look to see what people have responded and then type that in. So…
'Senior Skip Day' is said to be the really bad modern version of what 80's movie?
Feel free to Google it or whatever. Like I care. I just want people. Okay? Alright. Good day…or night….whatever time zone you live in.
