I was sitting down at my usual table, with my small knit group of friends, there was Liam the soccer player (and my secret crush). Susan, the school serial gossiper, Brad, a football player. sometimes, I seriously question, why he hangs out with us, but he is so nice. and there is Jessica the lead singer in the school play, and then finally myself Jason Garcia.
we were chatting amongst ourselves when Scott, the football Captain, and a huge bully comes to our table and says to Brad, "hey why are you hanging out with these losers?" Susan who has no problem defending herself or her friends says "Hey Scott, why don't you fuck off, and leave us alone,"
Scott then says, in a seductive tone "I am sure you would like to suck me off baby, but I don't let skanks like you get the privilege of getting to touch me."
Brad then says to Scott," stop it, you are being gross, and really rude, why do you insist on harassing anyone you think is below you, its not cool man."
Scott then says before walking away" whatever, dude, you are seriously letting these losers get in your head, you are not one of them, you are an athlete, and the sooner you realize the better you will be off"
Liam then says to the group "god, Scott is such an asshole," and then Jessica replies "yeah, he really needs a stable girlfriend or someone to love him, maybe he would be nicer
we all look at her in response and she says "what?"
Jessica replies "guys, I know he is so mean and a bully, but he is just so cute, I cannot help it.
Susan replies "not enough to make up for his disgusting personality"
Liam then says "all right, I better get going, Natalie has been texting me, she has been complaining I haven't been seeing her enough lately, so I better get going.
oh did I not mention Liam has a girlfriend, Natalie. ugh. it's not she is a bad person, she is actually very nice and not bad looking either, I see why Liam is interested in her, but it doesn't make it hurt any less, I sometimes wish I could get rid of these feelings, but they are so strong now, and it might take a while, darn why can't I be normal, I think to myself sometimes.
In the middle of my thoughts to myself, the bell rings and we say our goodbyes.
I head towards my next class, Chemistry class, I great, I know Ms. Andrews is going to have a fit, I forget to do my essay on the elements of the periodic table. I usually do all my homework, but I got a little preoccupied this time, my mother had me watch my siblings this past weekend, and let me say, it's not easy, there is 3 of them
Mike, 8 yrs old, Jamie, 5 yrs old, and Karen, 11yrs old. for the most part, they are well behaved but very needy, I still hear echoes of "Jason, can you make me a snack," where's mommy? And the obliged crying when I say no. and finally but not certainly not least, the god awful song "baby shark". Being played multiple times a day.
Don't get me wrong. I love all my siblings very much, but babysitting them for a whole weekend, takes a toll. It really starts to make me think how much mom has really done for us, and especially now on her own as my father passed from a sudden heart attack 2 years ago.
Anyways, I enter the Science classroom, and I see Scott's idiotic friends chatting at one table. I see Susan at one table and go sit down with her. She says Hey Jason, don't mind those mindless jocks over there bother you."
I smile at her and Ms. Andrews walks in, and from what I can tell, she does not look very happy and says "all right class, get out your essays I assigned you Friday, and pass them upfront.
I exhale and say "Ms. Andrews, I'm sorry, I didn't do the homework, I will make it up though.
She replies "Jason, you have greatly disappointed me, you are one of my best students, I expected better from you, but since, this your first time, I will accept it late from you from 10 points deducted for tardiness. Just make sure it doesn't happen again."
I say "thank you, Ms.Andrews, while Susan rolls her eyes at me.
I say what? she says teacher's pet. There is no way she would allow any other student to hand in assignments late.
I just shrug my shoulders and notice Liam walking towards me, and sits down right next to our table, and waves at me, and I feel my stomach start to get butterflies.
Susan then clears her throat and says "you're staring again."
I say "No I'm not. and who do you think I am staring at anyway?"
she says "Liam."
I try to defend myself and say "Liam is my friend, why would I stare at him, Silly?"
she says "come on Jason, it's obvious, you like him, I don't care if your gay, or not; just that you are happy.
I start to become a bit overwhelmed, I really thought no one knew. I look at her and tell her "please don't anybody", She whispers back at me and says "I won't"
Liam looks at me and can see I am a bit distressed and says "Jason, are you all right, you look stressed?"
I look at him and say "yeah, everything is fine, I just gotta figure how to do the homework assignment that I missed from the other night on top of my other homework.."
he says "all right buddy, don't stress too much, you are a very smart guy, I'm sure you will get it figured it."
wow, that was a close one, I think to myself, I wonder how long this can continue.
Ms. Andrews then says "All all right, time to stop that chatter and get our your textbooks to page 30.
To Be Continued.
