slap jack book 1 - 1

The moon was shining bright in the cloudy night sky. I run through the forest thinking about how stupid I was for ever getting into this mess. ‘Man I’m an idiot ‘I think a single tear running down my face.’ I should have known better that to expect anyone was there for and that someone actually liked me I’m so stupid. I trip and fall to the ground my ankle clearly sprained. the pain was shooting through my leg. Sobs begin to run down my face. Am I really going to die ? is really over now.
I think about my in emanate death. I pick myself up and start to walk with a limp then sit down with my back to a large willow tree and stare up at the full moon. Its beauty is one of the few things that are nice about this entire ordeal. Its light is al around me I can see the dark shadowy image of my death walking slowly toward me. As I see my death walking slowly closer I think back to the days in my normal high school life . I was oblivious of the darkness that surrounded me everyday.

I walk into my little high school looking at all people running around like roaches. Mindless and only following there naturally programmed routine. Even though I can see the average and repeating nature of this school I still walk on following my own programmed thoughts and routines. “God I hate this place”. The boring normal days transcend into normal boring week and the normal boring weeks turn into normal boring months, You get the picture,. I’m living a normal average life with normal average people doing normal average things. I just wish life was more interesting you know. Is that so much to ask for ?
I think of all of this as I’m walking through the crowded halls . I saw jocks wearing there football jackets leaning against my locker. Then I see all the emo kids with there stupid makeup on all grouped around each other hugging, crying, cutting and al that emo shit. I look to my left to see a few of my ex-girl friends standing there al in there preppy shirts and pant. It really sickens me thinking back to the little preppy bastard I used to be. Yes I was your normal jack ass prep I wore name brand cloth, played on every sport you can talk about, and picked on every geek, nerd, or weakling I saw. Now I’m that weird guy that everybody avoids if at al possible except for the few brave individuals I call my friends. Finally I make my way into a not so crowded cafeteria where all of my friends meet up every day, fucking roaches.
First I see my friend Nick a very fit but way to skinny guy wearing a dark trench coat with today’s random metal band t-shirt of the day, his hair black and spiked up as usual. He was one of the few people I could keep a conversation going with because he is one of the few people who had the same IQ as me. Next to him stand his girl friend Marry a beautiful girl with brown hair she wore a plaid skirt with a black dress shirt she looked like a very sexy school girl that would kick your ass if you came within 3 feet of her. Although she came off as rough or mean she had a heart of gold and was more than trust worthy. Then there the two sitting on the table Jessica and Stepheny toughs two were my best friends in the world they had been so since first grade. Even though I was a jerk to most people like them I had always been kind to these two they were just my kind of people I guess. Jessica is the kindest nicest person I know. One time she cried over a bee sting not because it hurt her but because she knew the bee would die. Then there is Stepheny. She was by far the cutest girl in my eyes . She was skinny had natural black hair and pale white skin. Easily my ideal woman but she was complicated . She was always so distant and rarely came out of her shell. All the same I fell head over heels in a never ending crush on her.
I walked over and sat next to Stepheny and started talking about a movie we were planning on going to see but probably wouldn’t because for some reason whenever its just me and her doing something she always cancels at the last minute and I end up calling Jessie and we go out on a friendly date me paying of coarse. I can already see the look of worry on Jessie’s face she knows I’m in love with Stepheny and she knows how I get when she cancels on me. I always turn into a mess after she cancels a date but I still try and try to get that first date with her.
“So we are going on tonight at ten and I’m picking you up at ten then we are coming back to your house. Where a bunch of your friends that I’ve never meet are coming over because your parents are out of town this weekend?” Stepheny looked at me with her beautiful smile showing and said “yep this time I promise ill be there” she said then she moved closer to his ear and whispered “and this time ill make up for all toughs’ times I skipped out on you “.
My checks must have been the brightest shade of red they have ever been because it felt like the were on fire I had never thought that she ever really even cared about the fact that she hurt me when she had canceled our dates but now she talks about making it up to me. I felt for the first time that I actually might have a chance with being with this girl as more than a friend. Though deep down I could still kinda felt like it was going to end bad.
Just then the bell rang and all of us little cockroaches scurried to our classes. I had to go to chemistry first a boring class that I could pass in my sleep (which I did). I’m the top science student in this school and state . on the state set up test I had the highest in the state last year and got a scholarship.
There was a clear sign of separation in the class room all the preps , geeks , emos , and country bumpkins sitting at there own little tables talking about there little fads or talking about how emo they really were almost saying “ no I’m more emo cause I cut my wrist”. I get a slight smile on my face and walk to my seat all the way in the back alone at my own table but it wouldn’t be a long since of the solitude that a love . A new guy walks up to the table and looks at me for about a second and sat down.
He dressed like a prep and I already hated him so if he tried to start some stupid conversation with me I think I’m going to show him why people don’t sit with me. He sat there silent for about five minutes till the teacher walked in and said with a way to chipper voice “good morning students I hope you all are ready to end this miserable thing called school”. Mr. Sallee was an over weight man that when it came right down to it he was a very funny yet depressing individual. He was by far my favorite teacher but some times he hates me because I prove him wrong in class ALOT .
The last day of school what a nice day just relaxing all day not having to do anything but sit and watch some boring movie about some annoying guy trying to find some girl and save her from the evil warlord as usual he choices a stupid movie that was completely irrelevant to science . the kid who sat down next to me kept staring over at me like I was something abnormal but I was kind of tired today so I didn’t feel like starting a fight but he wouldn’t stop staring it was really getting under my skin. I look over to meet his eyes and he quickly turns to face the movie. He really was looking at me it wasn’t in my head at all . It kinda pissed me off. Then he did the same thing two more times and that was it for me so I said “ what do you think you keep looking at then turning away from its not polite to star you freaking fruit basket looking at me thinking some queer thoughts about me”
He turned to face me his face red and he said “ it’s a free country and I can look at who ever I choose and no I wasn’t thinking queer thoughts I was thinking about how pissed off you look on the last day of school shouldn’t you be happy “. His words actually shocked me I had expected him to ether just ignore me and shut up or say something completely retarded but he actually came up with a good answer but then my mind went blank but I was saved by the bell. I just got up gave him a dirty look and said “ I am happy , im happy because I wont see you till next year “
The bell rang signaling the second period math . I got there to find that the class room was just like the party except this party didn’t have the beer (this depressed me greatly). I walk in to see everyone in there little clicks as usual I sat in my normal seat after kicking some stupid freshmen out of it ,sat down , and started to listen to my I-pod. I listen to a little of everything except for country crap but other than that I listen to everything else like techno, metal, rock, or rap. As I listen to some random techno song the world around me disappears into a dream land.
