High School Drama
Ch 3
"A Friend Concerned"
4th hour ended and Alvin with his brothers went to meet the girls so they could try their lockers. Alvin was the 1st to try his combination and opened it the 1st try. Simon looked and shook his head as Theodore was the 2nd one to open his locker. Jeanette saw Simon struggling with his lock and walked over to him.
"Here let me get it you big baby. There you go Simon. I'm still mad at you for kissing that fan in front of me, but then again if I ignore you the fans will think you're single and try to get with you. I'm going to ask you one more time; why the hell did you kiss her when I was right there? Do you know what having a girlfriend is? Well do you?"
He sighed as he put his English book in his locker along with his science book.
"Yes Jean I do. I said I'm sorry. I didn't do it on purpose; she literally attacked me. Will you please forgive me? I would never cheat on you I love you Jeanette. "
She smiled and pushed him against his locker kissing him right on the lips. She smiled at him after they broke apart.
"Does that answer your question? Or shall I show you again hmm?"
He smiled and kissed her back.
"Oh I got the message loud and clear Jean. Have you seen your sister Brittany at all? I saw her chasing after Miranda when she refused to talk to Tyler about where she was Saturday? Actually Alvin is the one looking for her not me. Oh here she comes now oh man and she seems mad too. Now what did my brother do to tick her off?"
Alvin glared.
"I'm right here do me a favor and shut up will you? At least I didn't kiss a fan in front of my girl like you did. So keep that mouth shut. If you would excuse me I need to find out what is going on with my girl. Move Simon I mean it before I slam you."
Alvin ran to Brittany and she cried into his shirt.
"Alvin; she isn't talking to me, her, sister, or her man. Instead she told all of us to stay out of her business. Amanda is breaking down in tears on Bobby and Tyler is in the boys' bathroom also crying. What is going on with her? Now I'm really concerned; that is just not like her. She never shuts her own sister out or her man. This is serious we have a major problem on our hands."
Alvin sighed as he held her in a tight embrace. Then Tyler came out of the bathroom and grabbed Miranda. She went to hit him and he grabbed her hand.
"Who the hell do you think you're hitting? Now you tell me what the hell is going on with you? I said answer me Miranda now or I swear. Why are your eyes like that? They're all blood shot. Miranda what is going on with you? You lied to me Saturday night and you're starting to hit me. "
She pushed him off of her and into the locker. Then she ran off saying.
"I have new friends now. Leave me alone you insensitive jerk!"
Alvin's eyes went up and he looked at Brittany.
"Ok what the hell is going on with her? Tyler are you alright. Oh man his head is bleeding; we have to get him to the clinic. The boys turned to the girls.
"Go to the cafeteria we'll be right there. We have to get Tyler to the clinic before he passes out. "
Alvin and Bobby grabbed one side and took him to the clinic. The nurse ran to him and put the rag on his head wiping the blood.
"Seville and Dias what happened to Rodriguez? Why is his head bleeding?"
Alvin sighed.
"Well Ms. Norris it's like this. His girlfriend has been acting weird and he tried to talk to her. He grabbed her and she went to hit him; then she slammed his head into the locker and ran off. That's why his head is bleeding. We have no idea what got into her she just lost it! She's been like this all weekend and no one has any idea what has gotten into her."
She looked and stared.
"Well Seville I'm afraid his girlfriend might have a drug problem. Especially if she didn't realize what she did to him. Are there any signs that she is on something? For example are her eyes blood shot at all?"
Bobby looked and stared.
"Well we don't know she wore shades to school and hasn't taken them off at all since school started this morning. Will Tyler be alright? I need to go calm my girl down; cause she has no idea what is with her sister."
Tyler came to.
"I do; she's found a new love."
Alvin looked and asked confused.
"Another guy; but she went out of her way to get with you during our last year in middle school. Don't tell me all of a sudden she fell in love with someone else."
He sighed as the nurse put a band aid on his cut.
"No Alvin not another guy; a new love called a joint. I followed her and saw her smoking with the freaks out in front of the school. I would've gone and grabbed her but then they would've jumped me. I mean I'm one guy and we're talking 10 other people around her so high it's not even funny. Come on people we have to meet the others in the cafeteria. Thank you Nurse Norris. What do I do about my girl on that stuff? I mean she's a cheerleader and an A student that stuff is going to kill her brain cells."
She looked at him and said.
"Well all you can do is try to talk to her when she doesn't smoke and hopefully knock some sense into her before she gets addicted. But I advise you to take care of it as soon as possible; if you wait to long then I'm afraid there will be no way for her to stop. Go onto lunch boys. Tyler if the head ache returns I want you right back at this clinic you understand me young man now go on before you miss lunch. "
They all exited the clinic and made there way to the cafeteria. Amanda saw Bobby and cried into his chest soaking his shirt.
"What is going on with my sister? She just ignores me when I try to talk to her. Bobby what am I going to do? What is going on with her? Does anyone know? I'm so worried. Tyler what happened to your head?"
As they sat down Amanda played with her salad and Brittany put her hand on her shoulder.
"We'll find out what is going on with her I promise you. Whatever it is; it can't be good she attacked Tyler when he only tried to talk to her earlier. She slammed his head into the locker and cursed him out! That is just not like her to treat him so badly. She tried so hard to get with Tyler in the 8th grade and now all of a sudden she despises him. It just doesn't make any sense at all."
Alvin sighed and stared at Tyler.
"Would you like me to tell them or would you like to do the honors? Tyler ok I understand you're concerned, but Amanda is her sister she needs to know what has gotten into her sister. Every last one of us is concerned not just you. Simon can you breathe please? Ok we know you two made up but this is not a laughing matter and can't be ignored. Alright that's it."
Alvin whacked him upside the head and Simon glared.
"What did you hit me for? Didn't you see me a little occupied?"
Theodore also glared.
"Yea we know that but you have all afternoon to make out with Jean. This is more important than your damn temptation. One of our friends is in trouble and we have to figure out what to do before it's too late. Now stop kissing Jeanette and pay attention will you?"
Simon looked and stared.
"Ok fine we're listening. What is it now?"
Tyler glared at Simon.
"You know what; you are getting worse than Alvin over there. No offense bro. Miranda has gotten her self involved in smoking pot genius. You know with the freaks my brother warned us all about when he found out we were entering high school? Yea Simon that's what it is now? Now are you going to help or just ignore it she is your friend too you know. "
Simon stared and sighed.
"Ok fine but exactly how the heck do you expect us to make her stop? Once you start; bro sorry to say it but you can't stop. I wrote a report on pot and the facts are right there in black and white. That is one of the most addictive drugs out there now and especially common in high school."
Jeanette sighed and watched as Miranda sat at the table with the freaks and shook her head. She saw how blood shot her eyes were and sighed. Then she watched as she made out with one of those guys with the tongue ring and nearly lost her lunch.
"We have a major problem people. Look up and see what I mean."
Tyler watched as she made out with the guy and broke his can in his hand. Then he shook his head as the bell rang for 5th hour. He stormed out of the cafeteria and Alvin ran after him.
"Tyler pull yourself together right now. She is high and doesn't realize she's making out with that guy. Remember what Nurse Norris told you; talk to her when she's not high she'll listen. You have to make her realize what she is doing is dangerous or I'm afraid it'll be too late. Come on or we'll be late for class. See you after school ladies love you Brittany."
She sighed and stared at Miranda making out with the other guy and shook her head. Then Amanda broke down in tears on Brittany, Both Jeanette and Eleanor helped Brittany calm her down. Then the 4 of them walked to class in a group. Miranda was also in their class and completely ignore them when they tried to talk to her.
"I told you to leave me alone. I have real friends not stuck up rock stars like you and your stupid boyfriends the damn chipmunks! By the way both your groups suck Brittany and make sure you relay it to your conceited piece of shit of a boyfriend Alvin too!"
Brittany's face turned red and she glared at her.
"You really have a problem Miranda and I advise you to come back to reality. You keep it up with this pot and you will end of addicted and you see that body of yours it won't look good anymore and neither will you?! Don't you ever put my man down like that ever again do you understand me?"
They saw Brittany ready to lunge for Miranda and Jean and Elle grabbed her.
"Britt calm down; she didn't mean that at all. You have to chill; the bell is about to ring. Brittany you have to control your temper you're going to hurt somebody if you don't. Now sit down the teacher is looking right at the 3 of us."
Brittany took several deep breaths and pulled out her notebook to write the supplies and her homework down from the board. In the meantime Amanda tried to concentrate on her class work but just couldn't seem to; so wrapped up in worrying bout her sister and the behavior. What Tyler told her at lunch and how she watched as her sister just slammed Tyler into the locker when he was only trying to talk to her? She shook her head and just stared at her assignment sitting on her desk. Brittany tapped her.
"Mandy calm down please and do your assignment."
The teacher yelled.
"Ms. Miller didn't I specifically state that there was no talking? Well didn't I? Answer the question Ms. Miller or get an F for the day. "
She stared up and responded.
"Yes Ms. Moore I'm sorry. I'll just do my assignment and not talk."
Brittany sighed with relief as the teacher walked away and sat at her desk. Then she went back to her assignment still worrying about the way Amanda was falling apart. She knew that she had to do something; but had no idea what to do. She knew nothing about drug addiction and had no idea how long Miranda was smoking pot. Amanda went back to her assignment and finally managed to finish right after Brittany.
The bell rang and the girls dropped there assignments on the teacher's desk. Miranda handed in her assignment and exited the class as soon as she was able so the teacher wouldn't recognize her blood shot eyes. She entered the girls' bathroom and just stared at her reflection in the mirror as she came down from her high. One of the girls she smoked with earlier stood next to her and handed her another joint.
"Here you go doll; this will help you get high again. Go on use the empty stall and smoke it you'll feel better. See you just started so you have no idea how to stay high let me be the one that helps you out."
Miranda pushed the joint away and stared.
"No I'll pass if you don't mind! Just leave me alone; I don't like what that does to me."
Mari sol laughed.
"Sorry to break it to hon but once you get hooked you can't stop. Now take the damn joint and go smoke it! I'll cover for you! Miranda now go and smoke it! You're one of us now and can't get out of it! Now I said smoke it!"
Miranda glared and pushed her into the stall and ran down the hall to her Science class where Alvin and Tyler looked at her. She took out her note book and copied the board. Alvin sat behind her and just shook his head. Then he did his class work and watched as Tyler watched Miranda from across the class room. She looked up at the clock and felt the urge to smoke a joint; but then she shook her head.
'No you can't smoke that again. You're a cheerleader, have a good looking man you tried so hard to get with, have good friends, and besides you have a 4.0 Average, you can't screw that up by smoking pot! Who knows what else it made you do when you were high. What about your poor sister who's been concerned about you for the past month, you need help so you can't get to much into that stuff. You know how addictive pot is; that was a stupid thing to do and you know it!'
She shook her head and went back to her assignment trying hard not to pay attention to that urge to get high boiling up inside of her. The bell rang and she handed in her assignment. Alvin realized she was not high and whispered into Tyler's ear.
"Now is your chance bro; grab her before she enters that bathroom to get high. Hurry up Tyler she's heading for the bathroom."
Tyler handed in his assignment and grabbed Miranda's waist.
"Oh Tyler you startled me. What happened to your head; there's a bandage on it? What is it honey? I was just going to the rest room to powder my nose."
He knew she was lying and looked into her eyes.
"I know what you are involved in babe. I saw it by the front of the school earlier. Miranda don't walk away and listen to me please! Sweetie how long have you been smoking pot? Please don't lie to me and just answer my question? Miranda I love you and you have to help me out here. How am I supposed to help you out if you can't be honest with me? I don't like what that made you do; you slammed me into the locker earlier when I was only trying to talk to you; you dissed your friends to hang with the freaks to get high; you dissed your best friend's group and her man's group! Worst of all you really hurt your sister Amanda. She's breaking down because she knows you have a drug problem and doesn't know what to do; none of us do!"
She embraced him tightly and cried into his chest. He held her close and she answered as he held her.
"2 months I have been smoking; and just realized what it's doing to me and I don't like it. Earlier a girl I smoked with earlier tried to give me a joint but I turned her down. But now I just have to have one. I don't know what to do Tyler hold me please! I know I have a problem but just don't know how to get away from it! I have to go and smoke it makes me feel better! I just think it's too late for me I'm hooked and just can't get away!"
He grabbed her face and stared into her eyes.
"You listen to me. It's never too late; and you're stronger than to let that consume you. Give me all the joints you have and let me get rid of them. Miranda please will you just let me help you! I tried to long to get with you and I'm not about to lose you now to pot! Do you understand me? Listen to me and give me the joints now! You're a cheerleader and have people that care about you; now please let me help you through this? I'm your man and will help you through this I promise. Please just give it to me Miranda!"
She looked at him and handed him the bag with the joints in it. Then he entered the boys' bathroom and flushed them down the toilet. He exited the bathroom and held her waist as he walked her to 6th hours. When they got to the classroom door he kissed her up against the wall and she embraced him tightly. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him passionately. They broke apart and she smiled at him.
"Bye Tyler I love you and will see you after class."
She sat down in her seat and he walked toward his 6th hour still worried. Mari sol sat next to her and handed her the baggie with more joints in them.
"Here you go this will help you stay high!"
She got up and moved to the opposite side of the classroom. Then she pulled out her notebook and copied the board. Then they has a class assignment to do and Miranda focused on finishing her work. Then she went over it and handed it into the teacher. She sat down and read a book while the rest of the class did their class work. The bell rang and she got out her seat. She packed her book bag back up and exited the classroom where Tyler waited for her. She took his hand and they walked to their lockers to puit their textbooks away. She saw Brittany making out with Alvin by his locker and approached her.
"Britt I'm sorry for what ever I must've said that pissed you off! I have a drug problem and am going to get some counseling! Please don't turn your back on me we're best friends. Britt please right now I need all my friends and of course my baby Tyler to get me through this."
She looked as Alvin held her waist.
"I thought I was just a stuck up rock star that can't hold a note to save my life and my group and my man's group sucks! Then you go and say my man is an insensitive piece of shit! That really hurt Miranda. I don't know if I can forgive you that easily!"
Alvin sighed and turned to Brittany.
"Britt she was high. She didn't realize what she said. We all have to pull together to get her away from that shit. Forgive her please! Brittany!"
Brittany sighed and hugged Miranda. Then she said.
"You better apologize to your sister! She's breaking down because she doesn't know what to do anymore!"
Miranda looked and responded as Tyler held her waist.
"Yea I know that Britt. I'll talk to my sister right after school. She's preoccupied at the moment by Bobby! Are we going to work on our routine for tryouts on Friday? I think I know how to blow the competition away!"
