Josh pushed the door to his government classroom open carelessly. It wasn't so much a classroom as a trailer... but everyone had grown accustomed to it. The only inconvenience was the long walk to the trailer portion of the school. Because of overpopulation in their district, Josh's school was overcrowded, and had been forced to hire extra teachers and buy trailers to teach in. And every teacher still didn't have their own room. The campus school held over 1,500 students everyday, and Josh only cared about a small few.
The smell pervaded his nostrils nearly instantly. Every day the trailer smelt of a mixture of food, ass, and bodily odor. It was the heat's fault. During the summer the trailer felt fine, but during winter days the heating was on and so they added and insulting warmth to the stagnant odors. The closed windows probably didn't help. Anyway, every day it smelled, and every day the class complained, but Coach Lance had grown accustomed to the heat and smell, and couldn't understand what they were complaining about. So Josh made his rounds each afternoon, pulling up the blinds, and lifting the windows before the rest of the class arrived.
He planned on sitting down, but the smell was really beginning to irk him, so he stepped outside onto the wooden deck and leaned over the rail. He spat a loogey onto the dirt below and turned around. A number of his classmates entered the trailer one after the other. Josh was acquainted with them all, but didn't really care about them one way or the other. He adjusted his denim jacket slightly and ran his hand through the side of his medium length blond hair. During the summer he usually buzzed it all off, but currently his bangs were nearly at his nose, and the rest of his hair was almost shoulder length.
Elizabeth rounded the corner of the trailer and smiled at him as she looked up. Recently she'd had her braces taken off, and to Josh's great approval she smiled much more often these days. Elizabeth was a beautiful girl, simply dazzling. She had a petite face, her nose slightly upturned, and her chin coming to a point. Her hair was longer than Josh's and did not curl slightly at the ends like his did. Originally she was a brunette, but months ago she had experimented with blonde highlights, and Josh loved the way it made her slightly tanned face glow.
She floated past him, and John couldn't help but notice her lovely ass, and the way it always looked in her blue denim jeans. Today she wore a pink sweater over her chest, and the tight sweater showed off her B cup breasts wonderfully. As she disappeared behind the door, Josh shook his head to clear his mind, and then rubbed his hands together for warmth. He was about to head in when Cara rounded the same corner Elizabeth had.
Cara was short, only about 5'2", but beautiful beyond measure. She was born in the United States, but her blood was fully Indian. Indo-Aryan that is, not Native American. For a long while Josh had concealed a crush for the beautiful young woman. In his mind, they were soul mates. Of course he couldn't be sure how she felt about him, what guy ever knew what women were thinking? But, she seemed to genuinely value him as at least a very good friend. They had just met this year, but already it seemed that neither could withhold a smile when they saw each other.
Today, she seemed very unhappy, though Josh couldn't begin to guess at why. Cara was nearly always happy, she was perhaps the most innocent, loving, and gentle person he'd ever met. Not to mention she was fantastic to look at. Her deeply tanned face wore her almond shaped, brown eyes wonderfully. Though her face was somewhat squared, like many Indians, her defined and angled cheeks gave her a beauty not many Indian girls could obtain with all the makeup in the world. And on the topic of makeup, she wore very little. Her face was occasionally oily, but what teenager's face wasn't? But even though school was stressful, she managed to maintain a practically blemish-free face.
Currently, she wore very comfortable clothing, and her hair was straightened. Josh loved her hair, especially when she straightened it. Jet black, it framed her face perfectly, and fell just past her shoulders. Her chest wasn't stupendous, a moderate A cup, but Josh was a tit man anyway. They didn't hurt, but he enjoyed a petite girl. Cara wasn't the stereotype petite, but she was tiny. Her waist wasn't that of a model's but, it was attractive. She didn't have a pudgy stomach or anything. Her hips, which Josh adored, were wide and full, fitting her thighs perfectly. Josh loved when a girl had full thighs like Cara and Elizabeth. Perhaps one of his biggest turn-offs were chicken legs.
"Hey Josh," Cara said, her eyes betraying her smile.
"Hey Cara," he replied, "How're you doing?"
She smiled again and shrugged, "I dunno, I'm just whatever. I don't feel like talking about it. Maybe later." With that she slumped into the trailer.
Elizabeth joined Josh outside shortly. She was coming from dance, and the heat from dancing for a few hours, combined with the trailer was too much for her everyday. Standing just outside the doorway she fanned herself and smiled at him. He smiled back, one, because it was instinctive, and two, because it was amusing that she was fanning herself while her breath steamed the air. "So, how was your weekend Josh?"
"Eh, it was okay, just working on that English project and I saw a movie with my cousins." Josh shrugged and moved forward, opening the door for Alexia and her twin sister Alisha.
"I see, well, at least you got some time to relax and see a movie. I can't remember the last time I had a break." Josh didn't doubt that one bit, Elizabeth was the busiest, hardest working person he'd ever met. She was sure to be rich one day. That was probably one of the main reasons he was attracted to her, her brain. She was beautiful yes, but there are plenty of beautiful people in the world. Elizabeth, however, had a magnificent mind. And she and Josh rarely had a dull conversation. It was rather refreshing seeing as most of his school was filled with morons. The exceptions would be himself, Elizabeth, and Cara, among a few others in the school.
However, just as Josh was planning to strike up a conversation in the cold, Trey, Elizabeth's unannounced boyfriend arrived late as usual. Josh couldn't see what she saw in him. He was a decently smart, and somewhat attractive black man. Pretty strong, but nothing special. Josh couldn't understand what they talked about most of the time, they didn't seem to have much in common. Anyway, he wrapped his arms around her, and that was Josh's cue to head inside. Seeing Elizabeth with Trey, or Cara with Kurt always made him sick to his stomach.
It frustrated the young blond man more than anything. Both Trey and Kurt were the same, sort of like jocks, but not really. Not very intelligent for the most part, and wannabe trouble makers. Nothing in common with the two girls, but they still flocked to them. What frustrated him more was that everyone knew that both the men were at times disloyal to their respective women. Josh had cheated on a girl once in his life, nearly twice, but he refrained the second time. He couldn't see what good could come of cheating.
A bit pissed, Josh stepped into the still rather hot trailer and took a seat next to Cara and was soon joined by his best friend Rafael. Rafael had been friend with Josh since Freshman year, and until Senior year he'd been much like a bodyguard at times. Josh hadn't really put on much muscle until the previous summer, Rafael on the other hand had always been rather large and built muscle easily. As of now, Rafael weighed in around 180 pounds, and Josh only weighed about 155. The entire summer they'd been pumping iron and writing lyrics together. In between work anyway.
The two of them had a lot in common, such as humor, thoughts, problems, and some interests. Rafael, however, liked cars and Josh liked video games, Rafael was obsessed with females, and Josh was respective of them, and Rafael smoked and drank, Josh did neither. They usually got along though, and only occasionally was there awkward silence between them. Of course, everyone knows that silence between men was usually no big deal, unlike when guys and girls got together, an awkward silence then was just... awkward.
Rafael and Josh struck up a conversation about their weekend, as everyone waited for Coach Lance. He was late nearly everyday, and when he did finally waddle through the door, that usually didn't change anything. In this AP History class it was rare that the students actually did any work. So they continued talking, until they'd had enough debating of superheroes. Then the two became quiet and saved conversation for later. It was after they finished talking about whatever they talked about, that Cara and Josh would chat about the weekend, homework, a project, religion, or life. They were usually pretty interesting conversations, and Josh could normally make Cara laugh easily, but today she just wasn't in the mood.
"So Cara, how was your weekend?" Josh inquired, smiling warmly at her.
She turned and replied, but Josh could tell something was wrong, "it was alright, busy. English project and all you know..." She trailed off and looked away, putting her head down.
Josh tried to make her feel better, but her mood wouldn't budge, and finally Coach Lance spoke up. "Okay, we're going to watch a movie today called Bowling for Columbine. Anyone heard of, or seen it?" He looked around, "Elizabeth, you've heard of it or seen it?"
