AUTHOR'S NOTE: Heyy loves! There's going to be a lot going on this chapter, we're going to see more of Mama, Connor's going to work on his powers, and Sue has to tell Tommy about getting suspended! Lots of drama, so let's get to it!
During study hall, Connor researched magic powers. After a while, he found out that what he had was called telekinesis. Connor borrowed as many books as he could from the school library about telekinesis. If Connor practiced enough, he could be able to move just about anything with his mind.
During English class, Connor stared out the window at the American flag in front of the school. There was no wind. Connor thought about making the flag move. The flag started flapping as if there were suddenly a strong gust of wind. "Connor White?" Mr. Ulmann the English teacher called. "Huh?" Connor asked. "Favorite poem, did you bring one?" Mr. Ulmann asked. Connor nodded. "Would you mind coming up to the front of the class and reading it aloud to us?" Mr. Ulmann asked. Conner DID mind very much, but he knew that it wasn't really a question, so Connor went to the front of the class with his poem.
"This unfrequented place to find some ease—
Ease to the body some, none to the mind
From restless thoughts, that, like a deadly swarm
Of hornets armed, no sooner found alone
But rush upon me thronging, and present
Times past, what once I was, and what am now.
Oh, wherefore was my birth from Heaven foretold
Twice by an Angel, who at last, in sight
Of both my parents, all in flames ascended" Connor read.
Everyone stared at Connor in uncomfortable silence. "Wow. Well, that was, uh, disturbing" Mr. Ulmann said. Most of the class laughed. Connor looked down at the floor in embarrassment. "That is the most you've ever said in class. Is there anything else you'd like to share, or are you done scaring us for the day?" Mr. Ulmann asked. "Asshole" Tommy mumbled from the back of the room. Connor looked up. "Excuse me Mr. Ross?" Mr. Ulmann asked. "I said awesome. I just thought what Connor read was awesome. Didn't you Mr. Ulmann?" Tommy asked. Mr. Ulmann's face grew red. "Who's next?" Mr. Ulmann asked. Connor sat back down in his seat. He glanced behind him at Tommy. Tommy smiled and winked at Connor. Connor turned around in his seat to face the front of the class, blushing hard. Sue watched Tommy and Connor from her seat next to Tommy.
Mama was working at the sewing machine in the dress shop. She was the only one working at the time. The shop door opened, and Mama could hear Mrs. Nolan's voice. Mama got up and walked to the front desk. "Oh, Margaret! I'm so sorry to disturb you, I didn't know that there wasn't anyone else working here right now…" Mrs. Nolan rambled. "Can I help you Mrs. Nolan?" Mama interrupted. "Oh yes, I'm picking up" Mrs. Nolan said. Mama went to find Mrs. Nolan's dress. "I'm sorry about what happened with Connor at school Margaret. There's no excuse for what Billy did, but deep down, he really is a good boy" Mrs. Nolan said. "Are any of those boys good?" Mama asked. Mrs. Nolan just stayed silent.
Mama handed Mrs. Nolan her dress. "Oh, this is beautiful work Margaret!" Mrs. Nolan exclaimed. Mrs. Nolan rambled on about the dress. Mama pretended to listen. She knew that she had to make a blood sacrifice to God in order to ask for forgiveness for making an immodest dress for a sinful woman. Mama casually lifted the hem of her dress. She was holding her sharpest pair of sewing scissors. She quickly cut deep into her thigh with her scissors. Blood dripped down her leg, but Mama's dress was long enough to cover it up. Mama's dress was also long sleeved so that no one could see the marks on her arms from the deep scratches she had given herself when the locker incident had happened. Thanks to the desk, Mrs. Nolan was completely oblivious to what Mama was doing as she continued to ramble on about the dress. "These are Godless times Mrs. Nolan" Mama said.
Connor had snuck the books on telekinesis into his room. He had been reading them as often as possible. Now it was time to practice. Connor set one of the books on his dresser, and then sat down on his bed. Connor looked at the book, and thought about moving it. The book rose into the air. Connor smiled. Next, Connor thought about bringing the book over to him. The book flew over to Connor's bed. Connor grinned. He thought about moving all of the books on his bed. Every book rose into the air. Connor wondered if he could lift a heavier object. Connor thought about lifting his bed. Connor's bed lifted off of the ground and rose into the air. Connor was so excited, that he forgot to think about the books. The books all thudded loudly to the ground.
Downstairs, Mama heard the thuds coming from Connor's room as she was washing dishes. Mama grabbed a knife and walked up the stairs. "Connor?" Mama called. Connor panicked, and the bed thumped to the ground. Connor quickly thought about shutting off the lights, and his room went dark. Connor quickly climbed under the covers and pretended to be asleep. Connor heard the door to his room open, and Mama walked in. Out of the corner of his eye, Connor saw Mama set a knife down on his dresser. Connor closed his eyes as Mama sat down on his bed. Mama rubbed Connor's cheek. "No one's going to hurt you little boy. You're safe with me" Mama said softly. Connor thought about taking the knife off of his dresser. The knife flew off of the dresser and landed on the floor, very nearly missing Mama. Connor smiled to himself.
A part of Sue was happy that she wasn't suspended until Monday, because it gave her time to tell Tommy. Sue thought about waiting until the last minute, but decided that she should just get it over with. So after school on Friday, Sue went to watch Tommy's lacrosse practice. When it was over, Tommy jogged over to Sue happily. "Hey! So are we going prom shopping this weekend?" Tommy asked. "I can't go" Sue said. "You can't go prom shopping?" Tommy asked, confused. "No, I can't go to prom. I…I got suspended" Sue said. Tommy laughed. "Good one babe. Come on, let's go" Tommy said, walking away.
When Sue didn't follow, Tommy turned around and stared at her. "Wait, you're serious? You got suspended? For what?" Tommy asked. Sue hesitated. She knew that the truth would majorly piss Tommy off. On the other hand, Chris would probably blab to Tommy about it anyways, and then Tommy would be even more pissed that Sue lied. So Sue decided that she might as well just tell the truth. "Chris and I posted the video Billy took of Connor White getting beaten up in the locker room" Sue said. "Wait, WHAT?! Why?!" Tommy asked in shock. "Because, Chris said that she thought that you might have a crush on Connor White!" Sue blurted. Tommy raised an eyebrow. "And you believed her?" Tommy asked. "Well, yeah. Oh come on Tommy, you can't blame me! You ARE bi, and you were thinking about Connor White while you were making out with me! You weren't even looking at my bare boobs!" Sue exclaimed. "Because it had just happened that day! I felt bad for him, I wasn't thinking about him like that, I was trying to think of ways to make it up to him, like I told you" Tommy said.
"Chris said that maybe you were tired of my pussy, and that maybe you wanted a dick instead. You DID get to see Conner's" Sue said. Tommy frowned at Sue. "That is seriously fucked up Sue. He wasn't trying to give himself an orgasm, he didn't even know what they were. And I did get to see his dick, while he was getting beaten up. Do you really think that I'd get turned on by that? And yes, I'm bi, but I wouldn't just leave you for some guy just because I got tired of pussy and wanted to switch to dick. Sex isn't even important to me! I love you for you, not for whatever type of plumbing you have going on down there. And why would you listen to Chris anyways, when I've never hidden anything from you before? Sue, it's nuts!" Tommy argued. "Ok, so it's nuts! But what about when you defended Connor in English class today?" Sue asked. Tommy shook his head in disbelief. "It's called sticking up for people. Mr. Ulmann was being a douchebag, and I thought that maybe it might start to help make up for me not helping Connor in the locker room" Tommy said.
"You care too much about Connor White! I just didn't want to lose you!" Sue said in desperation. "So you posted a video online of a poor kid getting beaten up?! Sue, the problem here isn't that I care too much. The problem is that you don't care enough. I'm just trying to do the right thing. You weren't going to randomly lose me to Connor just because he got beaten up, or I got tired of having a girlfriend, or whatever. But you didn't trust me, you trusted Chris, who's never really there for you. You posted a video of the exact instance that's been upsetting me so much lately. And for what? So you could make Connor's image at this school even worse by letting everyone see his supposed perversion so that I'd never wanna be with him? For your information, when I love someone, I stick with them proudly, no matter what their status is at this school, or how it might affect how I look. I don't care how I look, I just care about the ones I love. But this is just all too fucked up Sue. I can't be with an underhanded person who can't even trust me. Connor White wasn't going to make you lose me. Instead, you lost me all on your own. I'm breaking up with you" Tommy said, walking away. Just then, Tommy got an idea. He turned around to face Sue. "Oh, and by the way, thanks for giving me an idea of how to make it up to Connor. I'm going to ask him out to prom" Tommy said.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Yikes, I would NOT want to be Sue right now. Good for Tommy though. Next chapter is the big moment, Tommy's going to ask Connor out to prom! Stay tuned loves! Reviews would be appreciated!
