They Say That ALL Beauty Must Die.
Chapter 24.
*Cherish's P.O.V*
Playing video games with Jimmy is so much fun, but damn! We got school. And we only have 5 minutes to get there!
We were walking out of the house in silence.
We were about half way down the street when I remembered something.. I forgot my darn phone.
"Dammit!" I yelled out.
"Wooah. What's the matter?"
"I forgot my phone."
"Well let's go get it."
"No, it's only my third day here at this school and I don't want a bad name." meaning I didn't want to be late. Especially for music. I'll just tell my aunt my phone died or something.
"Well you go to school, I'll go get your phone and meet you there."
"The house is locked.."
"I'll go through the window." Jimmy said, before I could protest, he was already sprinting off.
"It's on the couch!" I yelled out and he waved.
I was speed-walking down the street. I really really didn't want to be late so I started to run.
I was close to the school when I noticed some girls. I didn't want to make myself look like a freak so I slowed down and started to walk.
"Hey.." one of them called out. Oh no..
"Yeah?" I turned around and the tallest one came up to me.
"Can you do me a favor?" She said to me. I thought she was gonna beat me up, I was so scared.
"Uhh.. sure." I said with a shaky voice.
"Can I pleeeaaaase bum a smoke off you?" She said with her hands in front of her face as if she was praying.
I breathed out a sigh of relief and pulled my pack of smokes out of my pocket. I didn't want to be cheap for some unknown reason.. so I gave her 3.
"Wow.. thank you."
"No problem." I said and walked off really really fast.
My first time talking to somebody besides the guys and it was weird as fuck!
I got to school and went into class. I hesitated going in. But I just sucked it up and walked into Music class.
"Miss Valentine.."
"yes?.."
"You're late."
"I know, I'm sorry."
"And since you are late.. you have to play a song."
I gave him a look of confusion and all the teacher did was just point to the drum kit. Meh, how hard can it be?
"You have to play a song that's atleast 5 minutes long."
Wow.. I was fiddling around with the drum sticks in my hands and just wondering what to play. I got it!
I started to play The Thing That Should Not Be by Metallica and I fcked up.
The cast on my arm, I guess started to get soft. Halfway into the song and a sting of pain shot through my arm. This never happened before when I play.
I was wincing in pain and the teacher just told me to continue.
I didn't want detention so I just continued from where I left off.
I finished the song and that's when Jimmy walked in.
"Heeyyyy!!" he said loudly with a big smile on his face.
"Mr. Sullivan.. you're late."
I got up off the chair and went to go sit down at my desk. I was holding my arm a certain way so it would stop hurting.
"I know, I know.. I have to play a song atleast 5 minutes long blah blah blah." Jimmy said to the teacher.
He made everyone in class laugh and the teacher shot us a look of anger. We all shut up and listened to Jimmy play Wherever I May Roam by Metallica.
He finished playing and he came sit on the desk next to mine.
"What's up?" he said with sweat dripping down his face.
"Ew you're sweating." I said to him.
He smiled and put his head on my sleeve and started to shake it.
"ew don't!" I laughed and said to him, trying not to be loud. He sat up and we started to pay attention to the teacher. All he was talking about was how many strings are on a guitar and a bass, he told us that music was an art and I believed that.
Which reminded me, I wrote a song for my mom when I was grieving. I looked down at my desk and almost cried but I couldn't! Especially in school. I took a deep breath and sat up straight.
The bell rang and that meant this day of school was over! Already? It felt like I was here for 5 minutes. But I want to go home so I'm not gonna complain.
*Jimmy's P.O.V*
The bell rang and it was sounding the alarm for FREEEEDOOMMMMM!!!
I stood up from my desk and waited for Cherish. She came walking up to me and I put my arm over her shoulder.
"Ew! You stink from playing drums!" She said with a little laugh and a smile on her face.
I smiled and I put my arm to my side.
We were about to walk out of the school but the guys stopped us.
"What's up?" said Matt. I didn't reply, I just gave him a bro shake. As did the rest of them.
Cherish, Brian and Zacky were making small talk. I was talking to Matt & Johnny.
"Hey man, whens your date?" Matt asked.
"It's uhh.. tomorrow." I replied quietly. I was starting to get nervous but then Johnny slapped my head.
"It'll be all good, man! Nothing to be nervous about."
Damn shorty. I will pick him up and throw him out a frikken window! No, I'm kidding, I would never do that! I laughed and shoved his head under my armpit.
"Jimmy! Stop! You stink!" I just laughed and kept him there.
"Beg for mercy, beg for freedom little one!" I said to him.
"Mercy! Freedom!" I heard him say. I laughed some more and let him go. I messed up his hair and turned away.
