Lame Jokes
Tamara's POV
'Shove loser!' I said this as I walked past Leo.
Ahh, Leo Valdez. He doesn't belong at this school. This is the school for the rich not the poor, for the high status not the low and Leo here was anything but.
Today was not my day at all. My mother was back from the pub last night and didn't stay at a friend's house so I was stuck with her. It's my secret that no one else knows, not even my best of the best friends because they were all fake snobs. I then fixed my posture and quickly flinched, my body was throbbing from the amount of hits my mother struck at my back.
I hoped no one noticed me flinch…
I looked into the eyes of Leo they were a nice warm shade of brown but were filled with something I did not expect at all: sadness and pain.
I straight away remembered the pain from last night reliving the moment again. It was utterly painful. I then feel wet on my cheeks and notice tears streaming down my face. I cover my face quickly before grimacing in pain again and run out of the gates that I walked in only a few minutes ago. I dump my stuff on the dirt and fall onto the ground whilst leaning my back on a brick wall as more tears stream down my face. Leo saw me flinch in pain now he is going to tease me for the rest of my life and ruin my reputation. I sigh sadly and look down at my hands.
'What type of stationary would be the best leader?'
'A RULER!'
It's Leo and I can't help cracking a smile at that lame corny joke.
'So what's up, chica'
That was Leo again.
I sniffle and then turn to him.
'It's nothing' I say
'Aww come do I have to turn that frown of yours upside down?'
'I guess' I say uncertainly.
He then clears his throat and says:
'Why did the boy eat his homework?
Because the teacher said it was a piece of cake!'
Oh oh oh oh what about this one: why was the teacher cross eyed?
Because she couldn't control her pupils!'
At this one he slaps his thigh and starts laughing like a maniac. I can't help but laugh manically along with him.
'Why are these all school related?!'
'Well we ARE at school aren't we?'
'Too true' I agree
His face then turns serious.
'Now will you tell me why you're sad?'
I take a deep breath, I've been holding it for so long and I'm now going to spill to some lame Hispanic scrawny guy that I just truly met around twenty minutes ago.
'My mum is a drunken wreck and always hits me' I suddenly blurt out.
His eyes immediately soften.
'Gee, I didn't know that Tamara, wanna talk about it?'
'Maybe next time? What about some more lame jokes?' I offer.
'Right-o, so why did the teacher wear shades to class…'
And that's it, if you don't know that last joke you can PM me for the answer. I hoped you liked it, both the jokes and the story. Please review and tell me what you think about it so far.
