Senior year, prom is right around the corner and here I was, the new guy, my dad was relocated...Well, because of me, I try hard not to make it difficult for him, you know my mom left when I was six and it always been him and me. We had to move because I got in this huge fight against two black kids and since none of them was the principal's nephew, well you can guess.
My dad didn't congratulate me in front of the principal, but he wasn't mad at me since those two suckers were bullying an asian freshmen, and since I can't stand it, well I just prevented them to put the poor kid's head in the toilet and I basically just threw a punch to one and shove the other to get to the scared kid.
Then after some threats, we ended up in the principal's office and the nephew said I called him a "nigger" which I never used and it escalated from there. After an exchange of harsh insult between dad and the principal, my dad decided we'd move. The funny thing is that my godfather, is as black as the night. Go figure, maybe he should have come instead of my dad, who knows.
So, like I said, here I was sitting, alone, on a table drinking a soda in the lunch area looking at people with my shade on, diverting my attention away from a book I had to read for my history class. I was alone by choice, I mean in less than a month it's gonna be summer and then, college so why bother trying to get in a clique?
When I noticed the douche squad, I returned my attention to my book. The usual posse, a quarterback, a wide receiver and the dumb linebacker, funny thing is I am probably better than them, but I hate the concept of football, I'm a baseball chump. Of course, among them you have the cheerleading squad following like they were gods.
That is when my heart stopped, there was this blond girl again, she was so...it's hard to explain she is gorgeous and looks sweet and innocent, I've seen her a few time in the hallways or near the lockers and we have a few classes together. She always smiled nicely to me. I saw QB grabbing her ass and kiss her. I say kiss but it looked more like he was sucking her up, nope she didn't seem to enjoy it either.
Our eyes meet and she quickly looked down at her feet, and I returned my attention to my book, then someone flipped my book, I sighed and looked up. It was Mr QB putting his face right at mine, our nose almost touching. I raised a brow and sighed again.
QB: "Dafuq you looking at faggot?"
Nice vocabulary I thought.
Me: "Right now? your ugly face champ."
The oohs, and the aaahs emanates from the crowd surrounding us. Didn't take much to attract a crowd, it was a boring small town after all.
QB: "You're looking at my girl fag?" Wow much intelligence in that one I thought.
Me: "If I am a fag, why do you care if I looked at her, shouldn't you be worrying that I am looking at cha now?"
Some people laughed some chicks giggled but for the first time I hear her voice.
Girl: "Kevin, stop, leave him alone ok? Let's just go eat."
Her voice was soft and sweet, hard to describe but I could listen to her all day and night long. Of course QB Kevin didn't want that.
Kevin: "Shut up Becky, I'm talking to him, I'm not done with you, imma bust your ass for lurking at my girl like a fuckin pervert."
Words and threats, wow, things never changed all I was doing, was reading a book, why does trouble always finds me?
I slid down from the table and shook my head ignoring him, I bent down to grab my book but his girlfriend did it and handed it to me.
Becky: "Here, sorry about him"
She smiled and I couldn't stop looking at her piercing blue eyes, that girl was perfection, why was she with that dumbass? Probably a strong case of opposite attracted. Before I know it, Mr Linebacker tackles me to the ground, well I think that's what he had planned but I just ended up a few feet away on my two feet looking at him and shaking my head.
Me: "Seriously? Big mistake really big big mistake."
I was seriously pissed off, because when he pushed me away I bounced on Becky and she fell down hard, so seeing that his dumbass boyfriend wasn't helping her, I did, I extended my hand and she took it and I helped her up, saying I was really sorry. And then the LB and WR grabbed me. I lost it.
I know I promised my dad that I wouldn't get in trouble, I will not let them morons fuck me up, I guess I will go easy on them, and by easy I mean fast. When I was ready to strike my gaze crossed the Becky girl and I sighed, ok, I guess she made me go all soft, so I was ready just to block or dodge whatever they had in store for me.
Anyway, to make a long story short, a teacher came by and dispersed everyone as the bell rang. QB Kevin was looking at me with fire in his eyes, probably because him and his buddies couldn't scare me or bully me. I looked at him and shook my head with a slight grin.
When his posse and him were inside, I felt a hand taking mine and when I looked up from the hand, There she was, the beautiful Becky. She smiled and whispered "come". I was more than happy to oblige. we ran away to a park, a few street from the school building. she sat down on a swing. and I took one next to hers. I was all silent because obviously I was intimidated, I mean, I never felt like that for a girl before, never felt something close to that either.
"You are a total mystery to me."
She said chuckling. I had no idea why she made me come here and I was also clueless about what the hell she meant.
"Likewise."
That was it, bravo Scott, you won the prize for the best pick up line in the history of dating. I sighed.
"I know, you're wondering what am I am doing with a jerk like that, hell I kept asking myself the same question, but it's over now, I broke up with last week but I guess he didn't get the memo."
She said, swinging slightly, looking at her own feet. I don't know why but we both seemed to be too shy to say anything, me I especially didn't want to say something corny or out of line.
God she is beautiful, she wasn't wearing anything special she didn't need to, no matter what she would be wearing, she was the one who made the clothes sexy, not the other way around. She was wearing a green and blue skirt, you know, those that looks scottish, and a white blouse where you could see a little bit of cleavage, nothing major, just sexy as fuck.
