Is This The End?
This is Jeff, this is Seb, and this is David
“What are you doing guys? Are you looking for something?"
“Yea, our friends.”
“Oh! They go at this school?”
“Yes. Just that I don’t know why, they are at different grades.”
“Mmm… Ok, 6th grade?” She asked looking around.
“And 8th grade.”
“Cool, let’s see… 8th graders are most of the time over there… but since he’s new… I don’t think he’s there. Come with me, those idiots are over there. Just run, ok?”
“Ok…”
Chuck and Pierre ran as they followed her into a little area that had some trees and it was like a little park, still inside the school.
“Hey! Over there!” Pierre said pointing at Jeff. “Jeff! Over here!” Pierre started to scream.
“Hey guys!” Jeff said as he ran on their direction. “Hi!” He said when he was already there.
“How were your first hours here?”
“Horrible…”
“Yea I thought so...” Chuck agreed.
“Hi…” Jeff said to the girl who was with his friends.
“Hi.” She said and smiled.
“Oh! This is Azelia, she’s from here… And she’s been at this school for 3 years; she has helped us a lot…” Chuck said as he smiled.
“Hi. Ha-ha.” Jeff said and waved.
“Have you seen David and Sebastien?” Pierre asked walking into the circle.
“Nope… The school is too big…”
“Ok, let’s just scream at 3, ok?” Pierre said getting his lungs filled up.
“Wait!” Chuck said as he pulled him. “Are you crazy!?”
“Maybe… Why?”
“Those bullies are going to find us!”
“Oh! Right…” He said as he thought for a while. “David, Seb. Where are you?” Pierre whispered.
“Don’t be a smartass.” Chuck said laughing.
“Look over there.”
“Oh! Shit. Those are your friends?”
“Ye-Yes.” Chuck stuttered as he saw Sebastien on the floor being hit by 3 older guys and David trying to help him fighting with one of them.
“We have to do something…” Jeff said worried.
“Yes. Come with me.” Azelia said as she walked over to the fight.
“Wait.” Chuck said and took her by the arm. “But, what are we going to do?”
“I don’t know. But we have to do something…” She said walking off.
“Shit.” Chuck whispered, and then walked behind Pierre, Jeff and Azelia.
“Tom, leave them alone!”
“Oh! Look who’s here…”
“Stop it Tom, they haven’t done a thing to you!”
“So? … Hey you got something there?”
“What could I have?”
“Maybe a kiss for me, huh? What do you say, you give me a kiss, and I’ll leave these kids alone.” Tom said as he walked over to her, and the rest of the bullies stopped beating David and Seb.
“No!”
“Guys!” Tom screamed and one of the bullies (called Jake) took David by the throat and started squeezing as David struggled to breath.
“Wait! No!” She screamed, Jake stopped and threw David to the floor. “Please Tom, just leave them alone.”
“Ha-ha. How funny is that? You want me to leave them alone and you’re not going to give me anything for it? Are you crazy? Why do you care about these new guys anyway?”
“Go to hell.”
“You… Are sending me to hell?”
“Yes… You leave them alone now!”
“Who the hell do you think you are bitch?” He said as he slapped her face so hard she fell to the ground next to David.
“Fuck! Are you ok?” David said as he took her arm softly.
“Ouch, I’ll be fine.”
“What the fuck is wrong with you!” David said getting up, and standing in front of Tom, then punching his face, Tom fell to the floor. The other 2 guys ran to hit David back, and a full fight started. Jeff, Pierre and David vs. Tom, Jake and the other bully ‘Buck’. Chuck and Sebastien walked up to her and helped her to stand up.
“Are you ok?”
“I’m alright…”
“Hey kids stop it!” The principal said walking in the middle of David and Tom. Then the math and history teacher took Jake and Buck off of Jeff and Pierre.
“What was going on here, Mr. Wentz?” The principal asked Jake.
“This dork was annoying." Jake said pointing at David.
“That’s not true!” David defended himself.
“Liar!” Jake said, acting like if he was an innocent boy.
“Mr. Desrosiers, please!”
“Excuse me! David didn’t do anything!” Pierre tried to help David.
“You 8 are coming to my office.”
“Why!?”
“I want you there after recess.”
“That’s not fair! Jake started it all!” Azelia said annoying the teacher.
“Ok, if you want to come with them too, you’ll come. I want the 9 of you there right after recess.”
“Yea, whatever.” She whispered. Then they all went their own way. David, Pierre, Jeff, Sebastien, Azelia and Chuck walked to a bunk and sat.
“Are you ok?” David asked her.
“I’m fine, thanks…”
“Well you guys, she’s Azelia. Azelia this is David and this Sebastien.”
“Hi. Thanks for the help.” Sebastien smiled.
“No prob.”
“Yea, thanks.” David said and waved, then pulled her into a quick hug, and she hugged back. While Chuck stared kind of jealous.
“So? What’s your age?”
“I’m 11…”
“11!?” David exclaimed confused.
“Yes… why?”
“I’m 11 too; the principal didn’t let me be on 7th grade…”
“I don’t know…”
“Yea…”
“Are you from here?”
“Well… yea, and I’ve been here for a long time now… And I can tell you, that Jake is the worst asshole in the world, so we have to be care full with him…”
“Yea… He looks like a total bastard.”
“And he is…”
They started to talk and met each other for a long time, they told her what had happened with David and why they were in NJ now.
“So where are your friends?”
“Ummm… Well I don’t have friends…”
“Why not?”
“I used to have my 3 best friends, but they just disappeared…”
“How?”
“I don’t know… None of them came to this school at the beginning of the year, so I went to look for them, but none of them lived where they used to anymore… It was weird… Maybe they got sick of this school… I wish I could leave too…”
“Man…”
“Yea, I hate being all alone all this time…”
“But, you won’t be alone anymore.”
“That’s right, now we’re here. We promise we’re going to be good friends…” David said putting his hand on her arm and smiling.
“Yea.” Seb agreed.
“Thanks.” She said smiling.
Then the bell rang and they went over to the principal’s room.
“Ok, where are Jake, Buck and Tom.”
“They must have escaped… Or just leaved so they wouldn’t have problems…”
“Don’t say that Mrs. They are nice kids, so please stop saying bad things about them.”
“That’s what you think…”
“You are going to have more trouble then what you thought… “
“What? I’m just expressing myself…”
“You’ve got it; you won’t go out to recess tomorrow.”
“What the… heck! Why? She didn’t do anything, besides those guys are so bad. I can’t believe you say they are nice!”
“Mr. Desrosiers, please.”
“But, why!?”
“Ok, ok. You’re staying with her too, don’t worry. Mr. Lefebver would you come with me into my office please.”
“Fine then!” David snapped back. And Sebastien walked right behind the principal looking at David.
“David! Shsh!” Azelia whispered trying to shut him up.
“What? It’s just not fair!”
“I know… but don’t do that.”
“You should’ve told me that before I did it. I told you we’re good friends…” David smirked.
“We are…” Jeff said walking out of the principal’s office.
“What?”
“I heard that… I don’t have recess neither…” Jeff said smiling.
“You guys are weird…”
“Ha-ha. Why?”
“You just met me and you’re sacrificing your recess for me… That’s just weird…”
“Ha-ha I bet you Seb’s out of recess too…”
“Why do you say that?”
“When I was going out the office he was entering, and I heard him complain…”
“Man! You guys are so united right?”
“Yea… I guess…” They laughed as Seb walked out, he was smiling. “Pierre is your turn, she wants you in there.”
“My turn! I’ll see ya guys at not recess day tomorrow!”
“Ha-ha you really are insane.”
“That’s good or bad?” David asked her.
“Good.”
“Ha-ha ok.”
They talked and waited, at the end the 6 of them were without recess next day. Chuck was altered because of it, but he did it anyway.
“OK, we can leave now…”
“It’s already 3 pm; we already go home, right?”
“Yea.”
“Let’s go!”
“Where do you live?” Pierre asked curiously.
“Like 3 streets from here, on that direction.” She said pointing to their left.
“Cool!”
“What?”
“We live 4 streets in that same direction…”
“Ha-ha nice.”
“Let’s go then.”
They walked over to their homes, laughing and talking.
“Well, this is my house.”
‘Nice place.”
“Yea, I guess.”
“Well, I guess we’ll see you tomorrow…”
“Yea.”
“Ok, bye.”
They all said goodbye and went over to their house.
“Hi kids, how was your first day of school?”
“Not exactly good… but ok… I think.”
“Yea… we’re out of recess”
“What!?”
“Well…”
“David! You just got here!”
“I know…”
“And you’re already in trouble!” David’s aunt said with concern.
“Yea, our friends.”
“Oh! They go at this school?”
“Yes. Just that I don’t know why, they are at different grades.”
“Mmm… Ok, 6th grade?” She asked looking around.
“And 8th grade.”
“Cool, let’s see… 8th graders are most of the time over there… but since he’s new… I don’t think he’s there. Come with me, those idiots are over there. Just run, ok?”
