First block we worked on Lesson 4 in Chapter 3, I’ve started to talk to David Wade and Dustin Hays a lot more since Cartwright’s been gone. What can I say, I like to have a buddy or two in all my classes. Second block Mrs. Rigsby was back, turned in my last piece of make up work along with some aluminum can tabs for extra points that I’ll probably need down the road later on.
We took this test that I made a 76 on, funny thing was I guessed on most of it. See the thing with English is you pay attention up until middle school, once you get in high school the shit’s easy because you’ve seen it all before, you see nothing new, it’s all a review. I haven’t studied for an English test since Pillans, granted I don’t study much at all these days, don’t really have the time. I skim over notes, studying requires at least an hour of looking over something and I honestly cannot recall the last time I’ve did that. All through high school I’ve skimmed so that probably explains a lot.
I went to Mrs. Patrick’s room to drop off my book bag, when I got to the amphitheater I got my work off Anthony then had to take it back to the classroom. I didn’t understand any of the shit after Lesson 3, it went off into Trigonometry. We’re in Geometry for cryin’ out loud and they got us doin’ Trigonometry, this just keeps gettin’ better and better. What kinda shit is that? We ain’t no honor’s class man. Why the hell do you think we’re in night school in the first place?
Anyway enough of venting, just wanna say that without Anthony Ward I probably wouldn’t pass, he’s a good dude underneath all the pervy ways. This week I have not seen one pervy thing from him, he’s really into that girl. Problem is she has a boyfriend and he has a problem talkin’ to her, she don’t like notes so he’s pretty fucked. This is the only girl I’ve ever seen Ward do this to, he doesn’t get turned on by her he just turns to stone when she’s around like they do in the chick flicks.
Oh and at the end of lunch Megan (Langham) was nice enough as to bring me my watch, left a nice little comment on her MySpace last night saying “Reward for lost watch” she dangled it in front of my face and said “I want my damn reward” so I took it and gave her a hug. That was my reward for her, hehe.
Third block we did a test, cheated on it and made a 76, two 76’s on two tests in two different classes in one day, that’s some freaky shit. Rest of the period was spent on doin’ chapter 35 vocab. The school was hotter than hell on a summer day in all four blocks due to the lack of an AC system. So I lifted the windows every class I was in but fourth. In third Mrs. Patrick shut ‘em because the loud mouths of the class wouldn’t shut their traps.
Fourth block I didn’t do any work, propped the door open with a book but it didn’t let much air in. I felt like I was about to have a damn heat stroke, towards the end of the block I typed up my poem I’d written about the Sweetheart Dance. Kadie Cleveland, an alumni of the 2nd Semester 4th block last year was a sit in for the class today because her teacher wasn’t there, I let her read the poem, she said it was sweet. Good to see somebody else from the old class, havin’ Holly around is great but I still miss everybody else.
After school I came straight home, Maw had some Chef Boyardee Spaghetti and Jumbo Meatballs fixed, I dunno what it is about the sauce with the Jumbo Meatballs; but it’s different from the regular meatballs. Makes me sick so I tried eating a little bit because I didn’t wanna make Maw feel bad, but I couldn’t stomach it so I poured myself a bowl of cocoa pebbles. Finished half the bowl before I realized that I needed to go in order to pick up Teresa in time, I hate to be late, and I still was.
Apologized for being late, again, she was sweet enough to give Jedi Academy for PC. I was shocked, I’d been lookin’ for that damn game and Jedi Outcast for months now. Granted it’s not the Xbox version but who gives a shit, it’s still Jedi Academy and it’ll help with my fanfic. You’ve done me a big favor Resa, thanks.
We jumped in the truck and headed out, I’d been listenin’ to 95 KSJ on the way over ‘cause there wasn’t nothing’ good on my three rock stations. “Bless the Broken Road “ by Rascal Flatts was playin’, she knew the song. So much taste in music we share, it’s truly amazing. After that went off I turned the dial back to TK 101 just in time for “Sex Type Thing” by Stone Temple Pilots and “Remember” by Disturbed immediately following.
Took a shortcut by Denton Middle School and Davison High School, Teresa was all “You’re gonna get lost” got there just fine and dandy with no turnin’ back. Hey Teresa, BOOYAH!!! Once we got to Remington we sat down outside because it was such a pretty day that the sight of the clouds in the sky were just too good to miss y’know. I got to meet two of her friends, Chris and Gray, both very cool guys. Teresa whipped out her laptop and we listened to “Where Did You Sleep Last Night” by Nirvana, “Hey Jude” by The Beatles, “Driven Under” by Seether, and AC/DC “Thunderstruck” the last three of which were personal choices because she was on the phone. I could so be a radio DJ, all I’d have to do is be my own smart ass self like Skeet on TK and I’d be set.
So I rocked out to about half of Thunderstuck, then I looked at my watch and saw I had to go, so I gave her a hug then bid farewell to Gray and Chris. Coach wasn’t there for night school, we had a sub named Mrs. Young who walked it and pretty much laid shit down. I mean she was rough, but she was really nice to me, just goes to show that she’s the type of person who don’t take no shit but as long as you don’t give her any shit to start with you got no problems.
Coach is pretty much the same way, you say somethin’ wrong to him and he’s gonna burn you, your mama, and your daddy up; I mean he will literally cut your ass a back flip tellin’ jokes all centered around you. Anyway it was good because now I can give Anthony my shit tomorrow and just have him work the rest of that shit for me when he gets time over the weekend, I gotta get atleast a C in that class, I know I’m gonna bomb that exam and I can’t risk failing, I’ve come too far to fall now.
We did our test and then watched the Wedding Crashers, the movie started off really dry but then it got funnier once they got to the two sisters, didn’t get to finish it but it wasn’t gettin’ damn funny. Mr. Tome ordered us some pizza, at first I thought I didn’t have any money ‘cause my wallet was empty I went up to the damn office where he was sellin’ individual slices for a buck per slice and I’ll be damned if I didn’t open my shit and find 3 dollars. Like it just magically appeared, ain’t that some shit?
Hawk wasn’t tryin’ to get me to give him one of my three pieces, I told him nah I was good. The black folks up there are always either tryin’ to separate me from my money or my food man and it’s always “Oh I’ll pay you back tomorrow” shittttttttttt. White dudes are the same way though, can’t really say that they ain’t guilty of bummin’ themselves, just nobody white ever tries to bum off me. Soon as it let out I went to Remington, Teresa was on break sittin’ outside with some friends, one of which happened to be Mac from Miso.
She said I was early, told her that was when I got out and she was kinda surprised I waited 40 minutes for her every night, but eh it don’t bother me. She decided to get out about 20 minutes early because the teacher in there was a dick, so she left me outside to talk with a friends of hers named Daniel. He’s 28, very cool guy, we talked about music, concerts, and Star Wars the whole time we were sittin’ there. It was really funny because Teresa goes “You guys both like the same thing” just before she went inside, I caught her hint and said “You into Star Wars?” the ship took off from there.
Took her on home, as I was goin’ down Azalea toward Halls Mill Zack called, we talked about tomorrow. After I get done doin’ what I gotta do he wants me to come to his place at 5, dunno if I can make that or not but I’m gonna try my damndest. A lot of runnin’ I gotta do tomorrow, maybe more Saturday.
