This is a Stupid Town. pt 2
Thursday, May 21, 2009
After the bell rang, a quiet walk down the stairs we went. The senior who stayed in class comes to catch up with me and Aaron "You guys are duuumb." he said in a jokingly matter. We both laugh and i say "eh, i was about to go in.." I really was, but everyone called me and said "NO! NO! come here!" they were all coaxing me to come back like a kitten stuck in a tree. I was about to take a drink of water from the water fountain and Aaron took out his gatorade and shook it forcing me to come back for the sugary goodness. I walked back, frustrated. We walked down some more stairs but the senior had left before us. We caught up with Rene and he explained his class watching Finding Nemo. I blurted "we did nothing in class today." "Liar." "Serious..we werent even in class..it was empty." "liiiarrr" "no serious."
Walking was the normal thing. Go down the hill, turn left (watch out for the crazy drivers) everywhere you walk, windows down, bumping music that's heard so many times but still considered "underground" such as immortal technique. I have nothing against them, i actually like them. It's the posers who listen to the music so loud no real conversation goes on in the car.
While walking, we catch up with a friend, Daniel. He's a super Sophomore, and way older than all of us. We passed the middle school and while everyone was talking, these three characters come running dow n the sidewalk. They were smiling so i thought maybe they're just catching up with a friend. That's what you would think. Out of no where a crowd pops out behind us, not too far away. We turn around "Ay...they're gonna get down" Daniel said. We all turned and saw dust flying..the girl running by, (hair in a bun, toned body, low cut spaghetti strap black tank and some cut-off jean shorts) starts hitting this softball player. We could tell she's a softball player from her uniform of course. It was a couple of hits, or more...the softball player trying to block her face and get away, the girl still moving forward and hitting her. We were all staring and wondering what's going on... Daniel stared with phone at hand...there were two teachers heading towards them, cars stopping in the middle of the road beeping. "hey! HEY! STOP THAT RIGHT NOW!" the teachers say. One of them is jogging and the o ther briskly walking...afraid to drop his coffee while walking fast. The girl in the black jams along with two shorter boys that look no older than my little sister. All suited in their baggy attire that's 3 sizes more than they should be, advertising for jenny craig basically. They run past us. The girl's bra is popping out of her shirt, since her shirt was pulled down on the right breast area...it was unsightly for me but the best thing Daniel has seen. While walking a little more, we talk about it. "They pulled down her shirt, man!!!" Daniel said with a gigantic smile on his face. "oh, yeah, i only saw her running past us with her bra popping out." I said laughing along. "YEAH! but while they were fighting, the softball player pulled the girls shirt AND bra down I saw the whole thing...MAN! I AHD MY CELL PHONE! i shouldve taped it...F*ck." Me and Aaron laugh at him. When we crossed the street, Aaron crossed to the other side with Daniel, leaving me, Rene and Gean on the regular side. We still saw them, but i let him pass since he never really gets to talk to his friends. Gean tried racing them since they have long legs and we're vertically challenged to walk at their pace, we had to walk kinda fast. She wouldn't stop even though it was painfully tiring, and completely useless to race. Out of no where, Daniel starts to run, "He's Cheating!!!" shouts Gean pointing at him running. Aaron was left by himself so he looks around the street, waiting for the passing cars and J-walks, or runs. "I knew you would do that.." I said all smiling. "What? How'd you know?" "the way you were looking around the street..it's obvious." "oh hehe..yeah." We kept walking, until we reached the point to where McDonald's and Jack's is. Rene heads for McDonalds to pick up his brother and head home, Aaron wanted soem Jack's, so we followed. While sitting there, it was nice and peaceful, but we got the seats in the front, which feels a little exposing. Usually, we get the seats in the back. Daniel came in with a girl. Before he came in, we saw them walking there. "I think he likes her.." Aaron says looking at them both. "oh, why do you say that?" "he always talks about her and his background of his phone is her picture..and her's is his." "ohh wow. yeah, i think so too.." We eat for a bit and find the back table empty. We throw away our trash and go to the back table only with a medium soda. I tried to read my book, Johnny Hazzard, for a bit but got distracted terribly by Gean's hyper behavior. She got my ghetto bookmark made of ripped wordsearch puzzle and folded. She tried finding words and made up silly ones, honestly, i thought she was being too hyper. When she's hyper like that, you can't really control it. You can get as mad as you can with her, but she'd still be laughing, which is bad in most cases. Like this case here. From her uncontrolling laughter, me and Aaron were just giggling, not laughing as loud as she was. She kept singing songs loudly and chanted "U-G-L-Y you ain't got no aliby you ugly" and we just giggled and said "ok..." but she wouldn't stop laughing loudly. From the back you could hear "GROW UP..kids...f*ck man." me and aaron look at her, it's this chola chick who thinks she's all that. After all, Gean is a kid stupid *ss. A chubby girl with her gets up all frustrated and throws her trash away murmering "feel like f*cking someone UP right now" I nod no getting disappointed both at gean and the girl's behavior. The girl looks at me angrily and said "what, does she have something to say? SAY IT" i still nod no, looking at her though, without an expression, i wasn't scared, it was a public area. I wasn't angry, she was just stupid. I was just disappointed in the way kids can act these days. She was not that much older than me. I had her in my PE class in 6th grade and she has always been this abrasive. They walk away, gean still smiling. It made me a little angry, i wanted to say "this isn't funny." or "this isn't a joke, those are serious gangsters." they were. Crazy chola son of a biscuits. She was still laughing, i was very frustrated now. Aaron was worried when i told him "i know her." he got scared thinking she might kill my family or something. "nothing to worry, she doesn't know where i live or anything like that, i just know who she is, im sure she doesn't know me at all." He seemed relieved after i said that and said "just be careful." Gean was playing around with things. I texted Aaron becausei couldn't say it outloud.
Me: I dont think its safe for gean to walk with us anymore.
Aaron: why, is it because of them? just ignore them and you'll be fine.
Me: no it's not them, it's for the future. She's always acting like this and it's not good to be acting this way in a stupid town like this one.
Aaron: true. what are you gonna do?
Me: idk. I need to find out a way but i don't think she'll understand i mean, look at us, we're not gonna be able to win a fight if there was one, we're not gonna be able to hold her back from being loud, we're not gonna be able to do anything protective, we're kids!
Aaron: Yeah, you should tell your parents so they can tell her.
Me: i should.
the conversation added and there was a long silence. The girl who beat up the softball player came to Jack's as well with a couple of other friends. As if things couldnt get any safer!! Soon as i saw them, i told Aaron "let's get outta here." we got our things and were about to walk home, but when we were about to cross the crosswalk, they too were going that way. great. We back up and wait for them to walk a little. Aaron suggests that we just wait at McDonalds until things get a little more cooled down. We waited for Mommy to pick us up and Aaron waited til 5 so he could head home. After 5, me and gean still waited. It was silent and boring. I texted Aaron the whole way, though. Finally at 5:30 or so she showed up. The girl who beat up the softball player and her friends came into McDonalds while me and gean went out. They sounded like normal people of the East. "I wish my boyfriend was that fine.." said one tall girl to the other while the girl who beat up some chick held hands with a jenny craig advertiser with a hat and matching oversized clothes. I quickly walked into the car, hating this town more than ever. I wish i could just get out of here, the only thing holding me back, is Aaron.
