A/N hey guys thanx for keeping it real, now that the school year is over i can update at a quicker pace, so here's another chpater of the one, the only, Fern Gluly 2!
Today was the day of the school's PTA meetings and that had everyone on the edge. What would the parents think when they met the teachers, or what was really going on in the school? What would the teachers think of us? When they met our parents. My teeth were chattering on edge throughout my classes, I think my English teacher noticed that and she was kinda staring at me sometimes but my math teacher told me to play it cool. If my dad was anything in person like he was online, they would be fast buds" he told me. That called me down a little bit but I was still partly on edge. I had been working on getting to know my teachers and hopefully that would pay off - with dividends.
I was at lunch time and I had just gotten my food. I almost sat down at a table by myself but then I heard my name and noticed my friends were all sitting together so I went over there. We say Tony walking up with his food too, he didn't need his crutches anymore but he still walked with a mean limp.
"Hey Tony I see you're getting better now said Ralph"
"yeam man looking good" said Ben.
"Thanks guys. I've had a rough and tough year but you know I'm glad to have friends and I'm glad to be a part of this-"
Just then Tony tripped on a backpack that was too far out and he fell forward right at the table. The tray landed on the table then Tomy's face followed it directly into his mashed potatoes with a loud BANG! They guy with the backpack stodd up to face Tony.
"Hey what are you doing man, now my straps are too tight what the hell"
Everyone in the lunch class were laughing at Tony except for me and my friends, who were trying to stop the bleeding. There was blood everywhere, in his mashed potatoes, and in his gravy, and even in the jello. A teacher came running over but slowed down because I think they thought we had it under control. Ralph escorted Tony away, blood was dripping from the front of his nose down the front of his shirt, he was looking really dizzy. The rest of us got back to our meals but after that I was kind of on edge.
Then the rest of my classes went by fast and it was the end of school. I was walking to my bike when I saw Jessica in front of the school, playing were her hair. Her eyes were like beautiful chestnuts falling deep into the ocean. They say the eyes are the windows to the sole but her eyes are so blue they are like a deep ocean of the sky. I can't really describe it, but you're going to have to trust me on this, it's the most beautiful think I have ever scene.
She turned her head and noticed me. Lady luck must have been on my side, but suddenly I was on edge.
"oh. Hey Fern! It feels like forever that we've last spoken" she said while messing with her hair. As she got closer I realized that she was actually trying to get something out of her hair and not playing with it.
"So - ugh - stupid thing - anyways how was your day?" she was still trying to figure out what that was and I reached over to help her.
Before I could even speak I was surprised to hear a car pull up behind both me and Jessica. The window rolled down and I heard a honk. It was Bandon behing the wheel behind us.
"Hey Jess come on we gotta go, I gotta pick up my little brother for soccer practice." He said. Then he looked at me and I think he nodded.
"Okay Bandon I'm coning. Fern we'll talk later. Byeeeee:
Jess got in the car and they drove off. And inside, I was fuming and about to VOMIT. THAT A****HOLE BANDON JUST STOLE HER FROM ME AGAIN! My teeth were chattering with rage again. I got on my bike and continued fuming as I drove home.
I got home and parked my bike and went inside. When my opened the door, my dad was there and he was actually getting ready to leave.
"Oh hey dad where are you going."
"Haha hey Fern, well you know how much I want to go to the PTA meeting but I don't really want to fight for a parking spot or have to wait in line so I'm gonna go early. Better early than never, I say."
What dad said made a lot of sense.
"So yeah, Fern, you can just hold down the fort while I'm out. There's a ham and jam in the fridge for ya."
Then he walked through the door and left for the meetings. I went to fridge and got the food then sat down to play Titanfall. I was doing pretty good and the games flew by, before I knew it it was almost dark out.
"Whoa, look at that, it's almost dark out" I said to no one in particular, sometimes when I'm alone I talk to myself, it's just one of my many quirks (you can't always be serious)
Just then the front door opened and it was my dad again, his tie was looser now but this time he had a guest with him, it was Mr. Armenta my math teacher! They were laughing as they came up to the door.
"Back again Fern" said my dad, "well how did it go?"
They looked at the screen and saw I had just reached silver 2. Armenta leaned over and just said "hell yeah, man!"
We both stared at him, he just looked back and said "hey, I'm off the clock now, we're not in school anymore, can't a guy just relax a little bit?"
My dad and he laughed. Dad patted my shoulder and said "Well fern, the PTA meetings went well, seems like all your teachers like you, well, except for one... ;)"
We both knew exactly who he meant. But then my dad said something else.
"hey Fern, mind if we get the couch? Lee brought a game over that we want to play, a game for adults, you wouldn't like it very much. I saw Tony's parents while we were there, and they said Tony got hurt or something, maybe you can play Minecraft with him - hey, I'll even let you use my computer" he said with a smirk.
That was a deal I couldn't refuse. I hopped up and ran upstairs to play on Tony's server. He was building this really cool skull with lava pouring out of the eyes, he kept falling in the lava though and losing all his gear. Good thing we had an endless supply of diamonds. Eventually it was my bedtime and I was getting tired anyways. I think my dad and Mr. Armenta were still playing their game but it didn't bother me. It sounded like they were having a lot of fun.
