Whatever it takes chapter 6
Written by CherryPezFoo.
" You can't play on broken strings,
You can't feel anything,
That your heart don't want to feel,
I can't tell you something that ain't real.
Oh the truth hurts, and lies worse,
How can I give anymore,
When I love you a little less,
Than before" - James Morrison
*Teddy*
So I kissed her. It was just a kiss, it was nice, I didn't start a fucking war or shit, you might have thought it though from the looks that Chris and Gordie gave me after Leanne announced that we were dating. I mean god! The girl is freaking lucky, I don't clean up for just anyone, AND she gets to kiss me. I don't know what they're getting all pissy about. Maybe she'll be upset for a while, but i'll be upset forever if I don't get into the army. she'll find someone average looking, I'll be fighting for my country, it's a win win situation! I'm worried though, I'm worried they'll ruin my plan, they're trying very hard too, I don't speak to them much now, Leanne does sometimes which worries me. They're bound to tell her something, I can feel it, whats the point in friends you can't trust? So I decided to go over to Blue Point, and give them a piece of my mind.
I pushed open the door making the bell ring furiously. I spied the enemy in the corner. I approached them, guns blazing.
"HELLO GUYS, AMIGOS, FAITHFUL COMPANIONS!"
I yelled, sitting down roughly in their booth.
"Umm.. Hey.. Teddy.."
Gordie spoke slowly.
"HI GORDO! WHAT'S SHAKIN'?"
I had a massive frown on my face which I hoped made me look quite intimidating.
"Umm.. Well I'm alright..."
He replied uncomfortably. Chris was indefinitely ignoring me and Vern was REALLY, into those fries.
"AREN'T YOU GONNA ASK ME? WHAT'S SHAKIN' TEDDY? IT'S ONLY POLITE?"
"Oh shut the fuck up Teddy"
Chris murmured resting his head against the chair. I ignored him, speaking a little more sarcastically
"Well Gordie, I'm not too great actually, you see, two people, that I call my friends, are trying to sabotage my only chance of happiness!"
Chris groaned
"Why can't you just accept that your not gonna get in to the army! Please just be a normal person and finish school, get a job, fall in love , have a family?"
"That's what you want Chris not me! It's up to you what you do with your mediocre life, so give me the same privilege!"
"Whatever Teddy"
He said, dismissing me, oh he wasn't gonna get away with that.
"Listen you dipshits! If you tell Leanne about my plan, then I will personally tell every single person in this town about you guy's dirty little secrets that I have on you all! Oh, you know what I'm talking about."
I walked away feeling quite good about myself. I was supposed to meet Leanne at the treehouse anyway.
I had my hands in my pocket walking through the dirt field, and I couldn't believe what I saw. I saw Leanne's short, plump figure, and I couldn't tell for sure at this distance, but was that a black girl she was talking to? Surely not, but as I got closer I realised that she was in fact, talking to one of 'them'
Leanne caught my eye and galloped over too me.
"Hey!"
She shouted hugging me
"Hey."
I mumbled back. She pulled on my hand and spoke exitedly.
"There's someone I'd like you to meet! This is Deborah."
Deborah was tall and slim with long dark hair, she smiled widely and held out her hand, I simply stared at it in disgust, when she realised that I wasn't gonna touch her her eyes darkened
"Well I'm not gonna bite."
She muttered
"I know."
I replied.
"Teddy shake her hand"
Leanne urged, but I wasn't gonna do it. My grandfather died fighting their kind in the Boer war of 1902, I was not about to touch her. Deborah got angry all of a sudden.
" Really? You won't even shake my hand because of the colour of my skin?!"
"Pretty much"
I replied. She cursed and screamed at me and Leanne just stared at us.
"Woah woman, you don't talk to ME like that!"
I yelled at her.
" Your not better than me you know! No matter how much you think you are!"
She yelled back. I turned to Leanne.
"Leanne, can I talk to you?"
She looked to me, then Deborah and nodded. I took her a few feet away.
"Why Leanne! Why would you want to be friends with that"
I whispered in disgust.
"I happen to really like Debby! It's you who has the problem!"
She said calmly.
"What do you mean?! She's a nasty bitch!"
"No Teddy, she was very nice to you until you offended her."
"Oh my god she's brainwashing you!"
I yelled running my hands through my hair.
"Wow Teddy, I didn't know you were like that."
There was a sadness to her eyes that I didn't like. I was fucking up my own plan. Okay Teddy, suck it up.
"Sorry Lee, old habits die hard I guess, Im sure I could try to get to know her. "
Leanne smiled widely and I put on the biggest fake smile I could muster, this was gonna be harder work than I thought.
