Bone and Brain
Friday I managed to get myself outta bed, eat some more of that chicken Maw fixed and leave for school when I normally do. First block was about the usual, second block we took two tests. Lunch I sat with Billy, Anthony, and Mark to shoot the shit.
Third block Mrs. Patrick gave us a test, she left the room and Diardus grabbed the answers off her desk. Everybody started copyin' 'em down. I said to Chad Henner how she was gonna think it's fishy how everybody gets a 100 if the tests were even the same. Gabe Kibby said they'd be the same, Chad said she wouldn't 'cause it's open book and open notes so she can't necessarily accuse everybody of cheatin'. Thought about that for a second, turned around to Diardus "Hey Baby Di, lemme see them answers man" Schwarz passed me his, copied them bitchs down.
I intentionally missed a few just in case, ended up with an 86, after the test me and Billy went outside to spread more mulch. We got done, got back inside, Mrs. Patrick showed us our average with the 200 points added in. I had an 89 and Billy had an 80, in any case that's damn good; but I ain't lettin' that slip any. I dunno if she'd added in the test grades or not but I'm sure she did. If we can do that shit every test I'll have like a high B, maybe in an A in that class by the time we get out because I do all my work.
Fourth block I had to do a write two paragraphs on what I planned to do after school and what my perfect weekend was. Rest of the period I talked to this girl Danielle, Olivia, and some other chick whose name I think was Maggan, not sure.
After school I went straight to Hwy 90's Burger King, had me a 9 piece chicken frie value meal, after that I went over to Big 10 to get my brakes fixed. Figured I'd have to leave it overnight and I did, Maw came and picked me up from there and we came on home. Soon as we got outta the car, Mary was bitchin' at Maw about this stuff in the Honda (Mike's cell phones she'd snatched when she "moved out" last time) so I went in the house to take a leak, came back out, got in the car and went out to Tillman's Corner. Was out that way for a good hour or two trying to find out where the fuck she was, one minute she says she was at Food World, the next it's Winn Dixie, then it's at Food World again. I was getting pissed off and she just said forget about it.
I came on home, stopping only to get the pizza from Pizza Hut Maw ordered and some milk. I got in, she called Mary and cussed her out about the time and gas I wasted all for her to just say "Oh don't worry about it". She REALLY pissed me off, because I know for a fact she was fucked up on somethin', she as slurrin' her words really bad tryin' to give me directions so how the hell was I gonna know where to go?
Ate some pizza, took a bath and was in bed around 6-6:30, slept 'til 9:30 this morning. 15 hours worth of sleep, that's the longest I've ever slept, but I guess it's just the effects of this night school and havin' to go on less sleep that's gettin' to me. Got up, Maw was already awake, she had me go to McDonald's. I asked if I could take the Hyundai, she said yeah just be careful. I was tired of dodging that big ass hole hunter dug beside the driveway and there's no way around it when you're parked off to the side. Gotta get some dirt to fill that thing in sometime this weekend as a matter of fact.
Came back, got on the net and read MySpace comments, turns out Megan Langham's house burned down. I read her blog on it, left her a comment saying I was sorry to hear it, gave her my numbers incase she ever needed anything. Maw came in right after I left it, I asked her when FEMA was auctioning off those trailers because their employees could bid on 'em and the old man said awhile back he could get Nikki one so my intentions were to get one lined up for Megan and her family. It ain't much but shelter's better than no shelter y'know. She said she didn't know if they were gonna auction 'em off now, that kinda crushed my plans 'cause they were supposed to sell for cheap. Remember this people: be proud you got a place to live and the possessions you got in it 'cause it can be lost in an instant.
I realized my cell was still on silent from last night, Zack had left me a voice mail so I checked it. Said he needed to ask me a favor, my mind automatically goes "Shit something's wrong" called him back and couldn't get him. In the middle of leaving it Maw comes in the door sayin something to me and I have to hang up because she was distracting me. She needed the gas card and I told her "You coulda just got it outta my wallet" she goes "Well you know I don't like goin' in a man's wallet" and I say "Aw shit Maw I know you, you know me and it ain't like you gonna steal anything out of there" gave it to her, called him again and left him a full voice mail.
He called back not longer after, he wanted me to be one of his groomsmen because he's gettin' married, I was honored and told him hell yeah I'd do it. He also said he's got a little one on the way but that ain't why he's marrying her, said that was just a bonus. He's also thinkin' about goin' in the Coast Guard. I congratulated him, said he'd call me back later so we got off the phone. This will make his second kid and he's only 18, but Zack's the type who can get a good payin' job no matter what and his kids mean the world to him.
My truck's supposed to be done by this afternoon, sum bitchs at Big 10 called here before I woke up tellin' Maw my axle was leakin' into the brakes and I'm thinkin' "I smell bullshit" 'cause they charged us $450 for the complete job. I ain't happy, but Maw reasoned it's a second hand car but I'm still not believin' that mess. I can't wait until I'm a mechanic, because I damn sure ain't gonna fuck myself when I'm fixin' my own ride, or anybody else's. People like that kill me.
Still ain't heard from Teresa on whether we're doin' somethin' today or tomorrow.
