Latest Chapters 3 - 5
Ceko, Jensen, and Associates was now Ceko, Coty, Jensen and Associates. She was a full partner, the only woman, and she now made a salary equal to what her superstar clients made. Yes, yes, she thought this was exactly what she needed to jump start her new life. Since she no longer lived in California they were sending out a technician to set up the guest cell as her private office, it would be fully accessible by webcam, speakerphones and TV’s, she could attend the meetings from any room in the house, with in reason of course. She was excited, she had waited her entire life to be a full partner in a law firm, her entire life.
After she ran around the complex screaming to Gary about the latest development in her life, he was trying to get in a word about his latest ‘escapade’ but alas, she was too determined. She was so loud that she drew over two men, and one of them, much to her dismay, was the Catholic Priest.
Chapter 4
‘Hun’ the Priest said ‘ Are you okay?’
‘Yes. Yes sir I am.’ She responded rather coldly
‘May I ask what the matter is?’ said the Priest’s friend
‘No, you may not, it’s none of your business.’ Hester responded, even colder than before.
‘Honey, don’t make me put my size 10 Prada boots up your ass, right up there along with your head. We’ the friend gestured to the Priest and himself ‘are just trying to make sure your okay. Don’t cop that shit with us, Girly.’
‘Honey, honey, now calm down.’ The Priest said gently putting his hand in his friends.
This startled Hester, but in a good way.
‘Wait, wait, you guys are ‘together’’ she said, making the quotes with her fingers
‘What was your first clue?’ the boyfriend said
‘Oh terribly sorry guys. I’m Hester Coty…and you lovely gents are?’ she inquired, finally dropping her bitchy attitude and smiling sincerely at the couple
‘Jody Zera-Houzen and Mike Zera-Houzen’ said the friend, motioning first to himself, then to his partner, the Priest.
‘Nice to meet you guys! Sorry I was a big bitch earlier, I just don’t trust Priests, but I absofuckinglutly love gay people!’ Hester said flipping her phone closed and grabbing Mike and Jody by the arms ‘Come in! Come in! Let’s have some tea.’
‘Umm..okay?’ Jody said, taken aback by this vulgar, beautiful, powerful woman. Hester led them through the open gate and up to the main cell. She led them up to the second-story patio. “Please guys, sit down and I’ll have my husband and son come up and we shall all have tea.’
‘That sounds lovely.’ Said Mike, smiling at the rather odd woman.
Hester ran down the stairs to the kitchen, she set out a tray, five cups, some cookies, took five containers of Tazo Green Tea out of the fridge, and a small chalice of ice. She then took out her phone and texted both Xavier and Justin ‘We have guests, come up to the main patio for tea. Now.’ She smiled at herself, hit the touch screen on the wall to select some pleasant music, took the tray and walked back out to the patio.
While she was getting all of the tea things ready, Jody and Mike were looking around the palatial estate, especially at the books set out on the table in front of them, a sample of the titles include ‘The Malleus Maleficarum’ in Latin, ‘The Only Good Thing Anyone Has Ever Done’ by Sandra Newman, a few large legal books, and this months edition off ‘Surface: Accelerated Thinking’. The conversation between them was summed up in three words ‘Crazy Ass Family’. The heard the music and hitched back up their smiles just as Hester came out to the patio.
‘Teas ready!’ She sang out ‘I brought some cookies too!’ she said setting the tray precariously on the stack of literature they had been discussing previously. Just then Xavier and Justin both stepped out of the house and on to the patio.
‘Jody, Mike, meet my husband Xavier’ Hester said, pointing to her husband, then her son ‘And my son Justin.’
‘Wonderful to meet both of you’ Xavier said, as Justin extended his hand and shook with Jody and Mike.
The conversation was very pleasant, and surprisingly Jody and Mike found that they liked the family a lot no matter how outlandish they were. They also had valuable insight on Rocky River Christian School. They told Justin that he would fit in just fine, but be ready for the stares…the people there had never met anyone like him. Also the beautiful family found out that they had been together since high school, and that Mike was actually an apologetics writer for all faiths with a degree from a catholic seminary, and that Jody was a freelance Illustrator. After about an hour of this conversation, both Mike and Jody had to excuse themselves as it was getting late and they wanted to talk over the day in the comfort of their own home.
Chapter 5
‘Justin!’ Rang the intercom in his bedroom ‘Up, time to shower and get ready for your first day of school!’
He hit the button and said groggily ‘’Kay mum, I’m up.’
He got out of bed and stumbled into the adjoining bathroom. Flipping on the touch screen he started his shower and dimmed the lights. Incase this wasn’t explained before their complex was a smart house. A computer controlled everything from the water temperature to the lighting. He quickly showered and dried himself off. He walked back in his bedroom and opened the door to the walk-in closet. He grabbed a pair of khaki shorts, a rough looking white undershirt, and a black v-neck sweater. He slipped on some white flip flops, which showed the tattoo he had on his foot. It read ‘Harlequin Smile’ in elongated script. He hoped it was okay to show tattoos, because he had a few more, at his new school, but to be honest he really didn’t care what they thought, all that mattered was what it meant to him. He grabbed his broadcloth messenger bag and slung it over his shoulders. Putting his wallet in his back pocket and grabbing his keys, He walked out of his room, through the living room and out into the garage. He dialed his mum on the cell phone and told her he was leaving, she responded with the usual have a nice day at school see you later on. He jumped into his drop-top Benz and drove out into the crisp morning air.
He was listening to his music at full blast and he had the top down, letting the breeze blow out through his long hair. His shades blocked his eyes from view and he pulled into Starbucks and ordered a venti iced green tea. Once he got his morning tea fix, he drove the rest of the way to Rocky River Christian School.
His music still blasting, eyes still covered, and stop still down was how all the kids getting dropped off saw him. And Jody and Mike were right…no one had ever seen anyone like him.
Your gonna be a shiny star, with fancy clothes and fancy cars, then you’ll see your gonna go far cuz’ everyone knows just who you are…
He pulled up into a vacant parking place and put the top back up. He turned off the ignition and stepped out. He grabbed his bag and threw it over his shoulders, grabbed his starbucks and cellphone in one hand, slammed the car door and walked across the parking lot into school.
One of the mom’s held the door open for him and he smiled his thanks’ to her, she looked away after throwing a shy smile back at him. He stepped through the double doors and into the school proper…all of these kids were so…the same he thought. It was as if someone wrote a parenting book, and all of these kids parents followed it exactly. And the result were beings that regurgitated the same thoughts and beliefs and behaviors as their parents…there was no individuality. He walked up to a group standing close to the door.
‘Umm..excuse me?’ he said, voice full of self-confidence ‘Where is the office?’
‘Like, over there…’ a rather plain girl said arrogantly ‘What are you, like some new piece of trash, that got some kind of voucher?’
‘Wow…way to be a bitch.’ He responded, giving her a look that made her step back. ‘And no…actually I am not ‘Some piece of trash that got a voucher’ I just moved to Lakewood from Newport Beach, California. So to avoid looking stupider than you already do, I wouldn’t make snap judgments in the future about people you’ve never met.’ He spun around and walked calmly to wear the girl had motioned. He went and asked the receptionist where is schedule was, as he was new.
‘Oh Hun, nice to meet you I’m Mrs. Betty Frey. Just have a seat next to that girl over there, she’s new too!’ said Mrs. Frey, motioning to two chairs on the left of her desk. A very pretty girl, who oddly enough, didn’t look like everyone else, occupied one of them.
‘Hey!’ Justin said sitting down next to her. “I’m Justin, and I guess were both new here. so what’s your name?’
The girl set her cell phone back in her lap and looked up at Justin. ‘I’m Leah, and don’t sound so excited…did you see the kids here…It’s like they are all the same. Except you, you look like yourself, not like you’re a cookie cutter impression of everyone else.’ She said, in a anxious voice. ‘ We better have classes together’
‘Dude, I totally though the same thing when I walked in, and don’t worry I’m into like art classes so I know I have a lot of those.’ He said smiling encouragingly at her.
‘No fucking way! Me too!’ Leah said, almost yelling, just as the Principle came up and handed them both a piece of paper.
‘Hello, I’m Mr. Prisig, these are your schedules. Also both of you are out of dress code, you sir, have a tattoo showing, and you miss your showing way too much skin…you tank top straps must be at least two inches thick. I will not punish you today, as you are new, but we at Rocky River Christian School, expect the most modest dress from our students, we a re learning institution, not a fashion run way or the beach.’ Said the principle, sternly, but ending off with a wink. ‘Enjoy your time here…oh and you both have home room together, Room 108b, just down that hallway…you have the new religion teacher, Mr. Lemaster. Have a great day.’
He left and the hurriedly compared their schedules. And sure enough they hade very single class together for both semesters. They were both really excited.
‘Dude, we both have the same classes!’ Leah said, in her loud carrying voice ‘Can I get a fuck yeah!’
Justin just looked at her.
‘That’s where you say fuck yeah.’ She said, giggiling
‘Oh, Fuck yeah!’ he said, smiling. ‘Do you want a sip of my drink?’
‘Sure!’ she yanked it out of his hands and sucked half of it down, then handed it back to him.
‘Thanks’ she smiled ‘ Oh and sick tat!’ as she bent down and stared at his foot.
‘Yeah I got it done back in California.’ Justin said as the bell rang ‘C’mon, lets go to class, babe.’
‘Fine…If your gonna make me’ Leah said laughing, she grabbed his and they ran down the hall way into Mr. Lemaster’s class. Upon, Entering they say a tall young guy, probably about 26, with mid-back length black hair, tied back in a pony tail. Writing a bunch of quotes on the board.
‘Hello sir’ Justin began, but was quickly cut off
‘Hello! You must be Leah and Justin. Enter. Enter. You guys are the only two people in this class. They only let me teach two classes, this one and next period Advanced Art, you guys are in that too! Come sit down, we are gonna have so much fun learning about god! Let me introduce myself, I am Dr. Lemaster, I hold a PhD in Neuropsychology, I wrote my thesis paper on how psychotropic drugs effect mystical experiences of all faiths. It was crazy, I’m surprised that they even let me teach hear, I am married, to a wonderful woman, she’s a neurologist with the famed Ecorounge Medical Practice. Which, as you full well know, your father owns, Justin. So sit down and lets start our first debate….Are all religions valid.
Justin and Leah both sat down next to each other and Dr. Lemaster pulled up a chair in front of them. They debated for the entire class period, which was an hour long. The bell rang and Dr. Lemaster jumped up grabbed his briefcase and said ‘ Come friends, off to the art lab!’ He ran down the corridor, bumping into every large group of students.
“That guy is so crazy, it’s awesome.’ Leah said
‘Yeah, I’m def. down with him, what do you bet we meet some cookies when we get to art?’ he responded
‘Yeah but whatever, can I get a fuck them?’
‘Fuck them.’
And so the meandered down the hallways to the art lab, And when they got there, they had a table to themselves, because as Justin had predicted they were in a room full of the ‘artistic’ children. Leah threw down her huge coach purse on the table next to Justin’s broadcloth messenger bag.
‘Okay guys!’ Dr. Lemaster yelled ‘ New students! Leah and Justin! Yay, for new students to end the blandness of this school! Our newest prompt: Get a 20ft x 20ft canvas and a partner, and I want you and your partner to choose a political or social issue, and paint the canvas to show your stance on that issue. You have till the end of this two hour class period. Feel free to blast your music! Go!’
‘What do you wanna do, partner?’ Leah asked, as she got out her iPod, plugged it into the speakers on the tables, and started to blast some Swizz Beatz.
‘Can we please do separation of church and state or gay marriage?’
‘Depends, what are your views on those issues?’ Leah asked,
‘Um… for separation of church and stare and for gay marriage?’ Justin responded
‘Hell yeah! Can I get a damn fucking straight were best friends!’ leah yelled over every ones music and they all turned to stare, she whipped around ‘What you all starin’ at?’
All the kids went back to their work. She smiled stasified.
‘Damn fucking straight were best friends!’ Justin said
And so they went to work. Yeah Leah was pretty vulgar, but then again so is my mom, Justin thought. He was so glad he actually got a friend this year, his other years in school had been quite lonely. They got out some spray paint and went outside. They spray painted a beach scene. Coming back inside, they drew a wedding procession with two guys getting married, with girls as their best men. Next to the procession stood all they family and friends. On both sides there were huge crowds, one had signs that read ‘God Hates Fags’, the other had pride signs, and signs that read ‘It’s a human right!’ Up above the entire scene there were clouds and an empty chair sitting above the clouds. And on the bottom there were big block letters saying ‘We support’. They finished their project last, and just tin time. As they put their stuff away Dr. Lemaster said ‘Okay children! Share Your Work!’ Justin and Leah sat at their table, and watched the procession of works, one was anti-abortion, one was anti-Obama, one was anti-Muslim, one was anti-evolution, and the last one before was anti-gay.
‘Interesting, Interesting..’ Dr. Lemaster said ‘ Justin and Leah your up.’
They rotated their canvas and stood beside it. All of the student stared. And stared. And one asked ‘You support what?’
‘Umm…gay marriage?’ Leah said ‘Duh.’
‘Oh, so your okay with gay marriage? Even though the bible states it is detestable? The kid asked
‘Do you have any other literary work or research that backs up your disagreement, besides the bible that is?’ Justin smiled.
‘Umm.. I know it’s wrong.’ The kid replied
‘Weak argument, come back next time with actually facts to back up your debate and we will listen, but until you learn to think for yourself we have no need to waste our time listening to you spout out what mommy and daddy told you.’ Leah said her tone hash and unforgiving.
The kid looked back with hatred in his eyes, but also with wonder. How could these weirdos dare challenge the power of God! How dare they. And so he responded.
‘How dare you spite the Lord, were it not for him you wouldn’t breath, you wouldn’t exist, you are what you are because of Him.’ The boy yelled at Leah and Justin
‘Okay then using that Logic God made people gay. You just completely corroded your own argument that gay marriage is an abomination. Because if God made us how we are, then he made gay people gay, and straight people straight. And also he made you a very weak debater.’ Justin replied, after he was done he went and unplugged Leah’s iPod, moved the canvas to the other side of the wall, and sat back down next to Leah.
‘Very, very good argument Justin!’ Dr. Lemaster said “in about 5 minuets it will be lunch, guys don’t forget you have an hour and you can leave campus.‘
‘Wait, Dr. Lemaster’ the student said ‘ You agree with these freaks?’
‘Yes, Jack, based on the argument they just put forth, and based on the argument you tried to make…I would believe them over you. Mabey next time, if you do better, I will believe you.’ Dr. Lemaster responded before grabbing his briefcase and sitting behind the teachers desk.
Jack, went to sit down and whisper to his little clique of friends. They all looked over at Leah and laughed. She smiled to them and gave them the bird.
The bell rang and Justin lead Leah out to the parking lot.
‘Where do you wanna go for lunch?’ he asked
‘Ohhh lets go to H.O.JAP!’ she said
‘Whats H.O.JAP’ he asked
‘House of Japan, it’s a steak house, it’ so sick, it’s down the street.’
‘Okay we can go.’ He said taking out his keys
‘Which car is yours?’ She asked
He hit the ‘Unlock’ and ‘Top down’ buttons on the key. And the top went down.
‘The drop-top Benze, the white one.’ He said as he opened the door and hopped in.
‘Nice!’ she said as he sat down and slammed the door.
And from infront of them came the cry of ‘Hey, bitch! Stop there.’
There were Jack and three little friends…

The kid looked back with hatred in his eyes, but also with wonder. How could these weirdos dare challenge the power of God! How dare they. And so he responded.
‘How dare you spite the Lord, were it not for him you wouldn’t breath, you wouldn’t exist, you are what you are because of Him.’ The boy yelled at Leah and Justin

‘Okay we can go.’ He said taking out his keys
‘Which car is yours?’ She asked
He hit the ‘Unlock’ and ‘Top down’ buttons on the key. And the top went down.
‘The drop-top Benze, the white one.’ He said as he opened the door and hopped in.
