Fast Times at Clairemont High

"Aw, look. Azalea doesn't have her fuckbuddies to protect her today. Free shot, I guess." Madeline sneered as her wannabes laughed.

"Get a life." I mumbled. Madeline looked shocked.

"Excuse me, bitch? You probably got all those bruises from when you customer wasn't satisfied on your corner." She laughed.

"Stop it." I mumbled.

"Then fucking do something about it, bitch!" Madeline snarled. I delivered a punch to her nose that had so much force it knocked her down.

"Now you can get the nose job you've always wanted!" I said furiously while she scoffed at me. I gathered my books and flipped her the bird.

--

"Uh, babe?" Jaime asked. I rolled my eyes.

"Please, don't call me babe." I said.

"Did you really bust Madeline's nose?" He asked. I nodded.

"It was the only way for her to get the fuck away from me." I replied. He nodded with a smile on his face.

"That was brave." He said, kissing me. The bell rang and we watched the students run frantically to class. We walked to art.

--

"Hello students. My name is Mrs. Macabee, and I am your substitute for this period. Your assignment is to draw something that makes you happy." Our sub said. Jaime called me over to his seat.

"Let me draw you." He said. I giggled but agreed. He had a nice sketch done in about ten minutes.

I went back to my seat and pulled out a picture of Audrey, Vic, Mike, Jaime, Lyric, Tony, and I. I started to draw it. It was coming together nicely. I drew everyone's goofy smiles and bright faces. I almost cried when I was done with it. We all looked like perfect, happy people. I loved it.

The bell rang and dismissed us, so we all hurried to lunch.

--

"MIKE WHAT THE FUCK?" I heard Tony yell as Mike ran away. Tony had cafeteria food all over his face; obviously Mike's doing. Tony quickly got up and chased after him.

"Children." I said, rolling my eyes. I chose not to eat and pulled out my songbook.

"Maybe were just having too much fun.
Maybe you can't handle yourself,
Staring at me with your lips and tongue." I wrote swiftly. Vic peered over my shoulder, and I quickly shut the book.

"Hey, I was reading that!" He exclaimed.

"Not anymore!" I said, tucking the book in my back pocket. I had been writing a lot lately.

We all started walking back to our lockers. When I got to mine, there was a surprise waiting for me.

Audrey was bruised and bloodied, crying her heart out. I ran to her and embraced her into a hug.

"Baby, what happened?" I asked. She kept crying and wouldn't respond.

"Girls...at...school..." She choked out. I stroked her hair, calming her.

"C'mon baby, lets get you home." I said, picking her up.

Notes

Fucking Madeline and her army of skanks.

Madeline is a real character, just with a different name.

Fuck you Madeline.
