The broken life of Billie Joe, chapter 2
Mom told me,"Because I love him and I think he's the one." I rolled my eyes and said to myself,
"Bullshit," and the I got a cereal bar and my car keys, then told her bye and left to school. I can't belive my mom! I'm a guy and I always saw that dad was the one, every since I was little, but mom never seemed to notice that. Well, I'm here at school and parked in the student parking lot, got out the car, and went into campus. As soon as I walked in, I couldn't take my eyes off this guy, and I tried to keep myself but it didn't work. Dude! What's wrong with me?! What am I doing?! My thoughts were suddenly interrupted by Mike and Tre, that seemed to catch up with me. Then, Tre asked me,
"Dude, what's wrong?" I said,
"Nothing", as I snapped back to reality. Then Mike, changing the subject, asked me,
"Hey, Bill, did you study for Mrs. Carol's test?" Then, I replied,
"Mike! Does it look like I study for every test?" Then, he said with a frown,
"No, but you could've at least tried." Then, I'm like, fuck that! Who needs tests anyway?! Well, the bell rang, and we all headed to Mrs. Carol's class, Sociology, and we sat in our usual seats. She took roll and handed out the tests....so far I'm doing quite well, because I was copying off of a smart kid's paper. Then, the bell rang and we turned in our tests. Mike asked me,
"So....how did you do?" And I said,
"Well, pretty good, 'cause I copyied off of Rick's paper."
"Smart, but what if she starts taking points off?"
"Mike, don't jinx it, 'cause you're ruining my chances on passing!"
"Okay, okay! Chill!" Then, I headed to English, while Mike went to History and Tre went to Gym. I started to think again about what happened this morning, and asked myself, "Am I turning Bi?" Then, The Jerks came in and started to mess with me, telling me all this bullshit about, "Stupid punk kid with a bad style and attitude, and,
"Can't believe you actually have friends and blah blah blah". Can't they understand that those little phrases are getting old? Well, they sure don't, and they don't seem to notice that none of that actually hurts me, or whatever. Then, Mr. Bacon was blabing something about the Constitution, and I dozed off into a weird dream, and it was something about my mom and Brad finding out about what's happening to me and everybody finding out the next day.
The bell finally rang and it was lunch time already, so I went to my locker, put my stuff away, and headed to the lunch room to meet up with Mike and Tre. As I arrived, I finally saw them and walked up to them to buy my lunch in the same line. I said,
"Hey guys, I need to talk to ya'll about something, because if I leave it inside, I know it's gonna hunt me for the rest of my life." Then Mike said,
"Alright, man spill." Then, I said back,
"I'll tell you, but not here."
"Okay, tell us when you're ready, alright?"
"Alright." Then, we walked outside to the tree, where we always meet, or eat lunch at, it seems to take our problems away. Then, we sat down on the dead grass and I spilled,
"Alright guys, promise me that you would still talk to me, and that act like nothing's wrong, can you do that?" Then, they both nodded yes, and I continued,
"Okay, here it goes, um this morning, I walked in campus and I found myself looking at this guy, I tried to look away, but I couldn't and I've been thinking about it all day...and well, I think I may be Bi." I glanced up, and Mike and and Tre were both left with their mouths open in surprise, not knowing what to say.
