Chapter 2 Can't wait till Monday
My eyes wore red and my body was begging for a bed of some sort! I was standing outside, in a gray sweatshirt that had the school name on it 'Crackle'. Which fit, the school looked like it was about to crumble but my parents said it had the charm.
Since when is crap charming? The school is a nasty grayish-brown color, stoned and barely has any windows. The only good thing is that this area is so poor that even robbers feel bad for us. So, at least we don't have to worry about anyone breaking in.
But I wonder how will my parents mange this place with little money?
The orientation was finally starting and I made sure I got a good seat near the exit. Around, huddled in instant cliques I got a good look at who I would be seeing everyday till we're back here for graduation. Yeah, no one here was something special in this bunch. Though I decided to make my perdition of people.
"My daughter will make a perfect leader for the cheer leading team," a business man replied in a matter-of-fact voice. The curly red-head got up to strike a pose as everyone looked as if they've never seen an attention whore before. The awes then stopped when another red-headed girl, yet with a large pink bow raised her hand.
"Yes?" my mother pointed her out, tracing her shoe on the stage. She does that when she's excited.
"Beside waving pom-poms and showing skin," she paused, smirking at the upset curly-haired girl, "my brain was meant to focus on the important's of life. I know I'll skip a grade but I wonder what you'll have in store for someone like me? My parents are high professional scientist that are sponsoring this school by the way."
Hm, didn't know Pinky had a brain. Then again, every school needs its 'please-I-know-more-than-you-because-my-dad's-a-scientist'. As my mother answered her question I looked through out the crowd to see who else I could find to put on my perdition list. In the very back I saw someone with green eyes looking through the window. Wait. Don't tell me he finds this interesting? If he knew any better he'd run.
He soon noticed me. We locked eyes for a moment, big and widen as if we were watching the birth of dinosaurs. Then he stuck his tongue at me? I was going to do the same but the guy behind me was giving me the 'wth' look. I guess he that I was looking at him, so I quickly turned around flushed.
"Are there anymore questions?" in the far back a gentle hand slowly rose. I noticed a pair of blonde pigtail jiggle from a squinting, blue-eyed girl, whoever turned their attention to her started whispering. I guessed she was well-known around here but not for a good reason.
"W-Whats your policy on," she paused looking down, I guess she couldn't take all the eyes on her as her voice cracked, "bullying?" Without looking, I could already tell my mother had out her sympathy card and she was sending it to this girl with rage "Huge. We here at Crackle are willing to arrest anyone who thinks they can belittle or bully! Our own daughter, Blanche"
You better point at someone else.
"use to be a bully but we turn her around and we'll do that to anyone here." Turn me around? Okay, I was like three and that girl threw sand in my hair first, I was just returning the favor. Shrugging I looked away from the girl and back out the window to see that the guy was gone.
"Any last questions?" My mother asked gathering her purse, everyone looked around but no one's hands were up. Yes, we can get out of here!
"Actually I have a question?" someone called from the back, my mother nodded for them to go on, "Who's Blanche?" I snapped my head back so fast I almost flew from my chair! Who asked that?! That's not a school question! When I looked to see who asked, I barely choked! It was that green-eyed guy! He had jet black hair,was about 5'4, toned, he was wearing a green shirt, leather jacket, blue jeans and white converse. Behind him were two other guys, smirking.
"Oh, uh," my mother glanced at them for a sec, then smiled over at me. I tried to run but the chairs were cramping my get away. All I could do was pray she wouldn't point to me, "that would be my daughter, that girl with her head low! Blanche, get up!" I hate her so much now. I quickly got up, giving a death look to everyone as I warned, "If any of you call me that I'll kick your as-"
"Blanche.."my father warned, now standing by my mother's side. He had been gathering other school work and lesson plans, "If you want them to call you 'Buttercup' then just say it. Don't be rude."
"Yeah, Blanche," the guy teased sweetly, "don't be a bully."
"If you've come here just to make my night a living hell, that's already been taken care of for the next's four years." I groaned, but the guys didn't budge towards the exits. He then said with an evil smile, "Well then I guess having us in the this mix shouldn't bother you any less."
"What? You mean, you're coming here?!" my mother exclaimed excited but I was angry. I already didn't want to go to this school, now I gotta put up with these people and this "thing"? Hell no.
"Yeah, I saw something that entertained me." he eyed me, "I'm Butch, by the way and these are my brothers. I think their old enough to introduce themselves." The red head guy gave a nod, "Brick." The last guy was blonde with blue eyes, he looked harmless but tried to be tough, "Boomer."
Before I could say anything else, pinky interrupted me, "Excuse me? But I refuse to attend a place that wants to educate thugs!" We all glanced over at her, she was angry with crossed arms. Brick nudged Butch and whispered loud, "She's using big words over there. Must be the brain, I'll be sure to get a good seat by her. You know, since I'm JUST a thug." They let out a huge laugh, I joined in and soon everyone else followed. The girl then shot up and marched towards the door.
"Now, wait just a minute Ms. Blossom." my mother reached out, "Please, discard what has been said. This is not a good way to start off the school year." She paused for a bit then with a sigh Blossom returned to her seat unaware of Brick still looking at her.
"Wrong, this is the perfect way to start the school year." The three brother nodded in agreement and I, for some reason couldn't wait till Monday.
