The next day at band, everyone was talking about what happened the night before. Me and Larry just sat back and watched all this commotion. Then finally Felipe came up to us and said, "You owe me big time." Of course me and Larry were going to act stupid so I answered, "What are you talking about? What do we owe you?" He looked like he was about to kick my ass and responded, "You know what you did. Don't act stupid. You owe me a new trumpet." "I didn't do it okay." I said. I was about to start cracking up. Our band teacher came into the hall and told us to get our instruments ready and warm up. After about 10 minutes of warming up, it was time to start playing. As we were playing, Felipe kept staring at me with a glare that I guess was suppose to "scare me." I kept playing and ignored it.
After band, he came up to me and slapped me straight across the face. I turned around and punched the lights out of him. I was on top of him beating the shit out of him until Larry came and pulled me off of him, me almost punching Larry. He took me outside and told me not to waste my time with him. I thanked Larry for getting me out of there when he did. We walked back to his house and just chilled playing Guitar Hero. Then after a while my phone started vibrating. I looked at it and it was Jesse. "Hey where are you? Want to hang out?" I answered, "I'm by Larry's house." Larry heard me say that and knew it was Jesse and said, "She can come over if she wants." I told Jesse what Larry said and she answered, "Sorry I can't Felipe is over and he doesn't want to go over there. Bye" She then hung up. I was in shock. "What's wrong?" Larry said. I answered with confusion, "Felipe…..he's hanging out with Jesse." Larry was as shocked as I was. How could this be? Then I thought to myself, he's using her. He wants to get stuff out of her about me and Larry. That's why he's hanging out with him.
Later that night I called Jesse. She answered and said, "Sorry I can't talk for long. Felipe is over." I felt like I wanted to go through the phone and slap her. "That's what I have to talk to you about." I responded. "What's there to talk about? Felipe and I are just friends." She said. I then said, "Felipe is no friend. He's using you, trust me." "Felipe would never do that to me!" She exclaimed. "You're a freshman! You don't know anything! I've known him for over a year and trust me he's using you."I snapped back. "Whatever I'm going to go hang out with my FRIEND Felipe, with or without you. And I thought you were my friend to, but I guess not." And with her saying that, she hung up. I wanted to cry. I needed to tell someone. So I called Larry. When I told him what she told me he said, "I can't believe her! What the fuck is her problem. Why doesn't she believe you? You're the most honest person I know. And why would she end your friendship over someone who's using her?" "I don't get it either. I thought she was a good friend, but I guess freshman these days want to act cool even if they get used." Me and Larry talked for a good 2 hours about the topic until I fell asleep on the phone.
The next day I woke up to my phone vibrating. It was Jesse. I answered. When I said hi I heard her crying. I couldn't figure out what was wrong. I didn't even care and I said," Why the hell are you calling me. I thought Felipe was your friend. I thought I wasn't your friend anymore?" Jesse answered, "I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I really am. I made a horrible mistake and was stupid and should have listened to you. I'm so sorry." I was in shock. Now I wanted to know just what Felipe did. "What did Felipe do Jesse?" I asked. She replied, "He told me if I didn't tell him who messed up his trumpet, he was going to make my life miserable and beat the lights out of me and never let me forget it and wanted me to tell him everything about you and Larry." I was mad as hell. I knew he would do that. "Well what did you do?" I asked. "I told him to leave. And he didn't. So he pinned me against the wall and told me to tell him now before he did something bad to me. And then my mom came home right when he did that and he was like shit! Your mom's home. I'll be back. And with that he left." I was just in shock. I knew what I was going to do to Felipe. "Don't worry about it Jesse. I'll take care of it." And with that we ended the conversation.
