Day 0, 10:23
I was staring out the window at the car crash when Mr. Thomas told us to stay put.
"Imma go see what this meetings about, just hang tight."
I didn't look back as the door clicked into place.
See, i was in the quote on quote Alternative Learning Class, Basically its the class you go to if you have ADHD like me or some other bullshit learning disability.
There were five other dumbasses in here with me.
Za'ray aka Lil' Head, a black kid that was so small he could pass for a dwarf.
Payton, an annoying fat girl that nobody likes.
Damaurie, a husky light skin that thought he was the shit.
Nathan, a big Mexican that didn't talk much.
And finally Sarah, your typical retard blonde.
To be honest i didn't really hate this class like i do math and LA. Math gives me an itch in the roof of my mouth that only a shot gun can reach and LA just makes we want to sleep. Mr. Lambert's voice is so monotone that its basically a lullaby.
I just skip them mostly but this one, its a class that we can usually just unwind and use our phones.
Mr. Thomas, he just doesn't care and its fuckin' awesome, its like another free period. We can do what ever we want except leave the classroom. Thing is he would even care if you were in the "bathroom" for a solid hour. Its probably in my top 3 favorite periods of the day.
Lil' Head finally broke me out from - what i like - to call my Brain Rant.
"Any idea wha' Thomas is doin'?" I could see him looking at me through the reflection in the glass.
"I don't fuckin' know," I turned around and faced him. "And frankly i don't care. I just want some damn food, i got munchiessss...."
I looked at him - and he stared back - finally I just yanked the bag from his chair. I went through and grabbed a granola from his bag before he could even react.
"Fuck you." he caught the bag as i tossed from him, but after that he didn't protest. He learned a long time ago not to fuck with me. One day we were passin' the blunt around during freshmen year and i messed up the rotation. It was suppose to go Isaiah, Lil Head, me, than finally Evan but i was impatient so i took it from Isaak completely skipping Lil' Head.
He turned to me mad.
"Yo i called second!" He lunged for my hand. I just sidestepped and stuck out my leg all while taking a hit. He laid out on the concrete with a chipped tooth. I took another huge hit and talked through the smoke.
"You were to slow bro, sorry." I shrugged and passed it to Evan. Lil' Head growled and shot up to his feet. He dumped his bag and squared up.
"Ight bro, you 'bouta get decked." he had been trying to show this tough guy look ever since he got rocked by this guy named Hairbo - yes like the gummy bears.
"Ok." I said sarcastically without even looking at him.
He went in for the sucker punch but i backed up easily. I could tell he was hoping to land it because he almost fell over he was so off balance.
I brought up my left fist into his kidney making him double over. I back up and push him over with my foot causing him to sprawl on the ground again.
"You done?" I asked as i took the blunt back from Isaak.
Lil' Head got up to his feet, still clutching his side.
"Fine," was all he said and we continued to smoke like nothing even happened.
Since that moment he's never given me any kind shit. I grinned at him as i opened the wrapper.
"Thanks for the snack." The look of hatred he gave me as i took a bite was priceless, i almost choked i was laughing so hard.
Damaurie got up from his seat and looked out the window.
"Damn there's like a 5 car pile up! Look at this shit!"
Everyone but me got up from there seat and stared out the window.
They all started to exclaim how bad it was and i could hear some faint talk of that fog i seen earlier.
"Its just a car crash." I say, breaking everyone out of their amazement.
Damaurie was about to wheel on me when a yell came from the intercom.
"It hurts people ok! Just because its something we don't know doesn't mean that we need to take it lightly! We need to make sure that we keep the students as calm and as safe as possible, because when word gets out that we don't have any idea what's going on then shits gonna hit the fan." the female voice sounded very distraught and full of fear. A murmur of multiple voices came through the speaker.
I looked back at the others.
"Any idea what that was about?" They shook their heads and looked as confused as i was. I felt a vibrate come from my pocket so i took out my phone.
It was a call from Isaiah so i answered.
"Did ya hear that?" there were shouts of fear in the background.
"Not really, wasn't paying attention all that much." I said nonchalantly.
"Well," he sighed sounding surprisingly calm. "the teachers don't know what's going on, that fog outside can kill us, and to top it all off I don't think were getting lunch."
