For The First Time

He watched her every moves from afar, as she walked gracefully with her soft and sleek blonde hair swaying in a ponytail, smiling at her group of popular friends in this cafeteria. Once in while she would roll her eyes at what her friends said and he smiled at the scene.
“Hey, dude! Matt! Are you even listening to me?”
Matt spazzed out from his imminent stare at the blonde girl ahead and flinched when his beautiful view was replaced by the face of his bespectacled best friend with crazy spiky hair electrified on his head.
“Ehm. What?”
“I can’t believe you’re still into her after all she’s done to you.”
“Drop it Jim.”
Jimmy, or as he’d like to call himself’ ‘The Rev’, flicked his tongue repeatedly. “Tsk tsk tsk, you need to get laid, man. Speaking about that, you’re coming tonight?”
“To get some groupie with you? No. I’ll pass.” He drank from his apple juice while his eyes still watching the girl.
“Aw come on man! There’s a new band playing tonight. You might wanna come and see them once you’ve heard the name.”
“Oh yeah? And…what’s that?” he replied non-chalantly and a bit disturbed because the girl of his dream had started to get up from her seat together with her friends.
“Mad Porno Action.”
Matt switched his focus from the girl to Jimmy who raised his eyebrows at him. He frowned, and then got up from his seat too.
“What kind of a band name is that?”
Jimmy got up too as Matt was starting to walk away from the table. “A cool one. Hey, where are you going?”
“I’m gonna talk to her, Jimmy. I’m gonna ask her out.”
“Oh boy here we go.”
“What?”
“She called you a freak, like two days ago. What are you, amnesia?”
“I don’t care. I know she didn’t mean it.”
“Matt, I don’t think you should-”
“Well, well, well. Look who’s here. Where do think you’re going, Sanders?”
Both Matt and Jimmy were halted by the sudden appearance from Emmet Leighton, the most popular jock in Huntington High with typical blonde hair and a basketball varsity jacket wrapped around his big and toned body. Not that Matt was any smaller or skinnier than him; in fact, they both were in the same basketball team. It’s just a matter of who has the crowd and who hasn’t. In this case, Matt hasn’t.
Because he was more of a darker character and was targeted by the bully instead of being the bully. Besides, he hangs with Jimmy. So that made him 100 times weirder than he already was.
“Get the fuck out of my way, Emmet.” Matt pressed his voice and glared at the big guy but Emmet just smirked and shifted his gaze over to Jimmy.
“You think I don’t know what you’re doing, Sanders? You and your smelly weirdo little friend-” he shoved Jimmy’s shoulder with one finger and Jimmy got agitated.
“Hey! Watch it!” Jimmy raged but Matt held out his arm calmly.
“– should know where you’re standing. Valary is not fit for you guys. You are waaay out of her league. You got me, Sanders?”
Matt glared at him even harder. Jimmy joined in, pushing the rim of his glasses a little rougher. Emmet chuckled darkly and walked away from them only to build the rage within them higher than ever.
“Matt, help me clear up something.” Jimmy said while they were both watching Emmet strutted away pompously with his other asshole friends.
“What?”
“Why do you join the school’s basketball team if you hate the captain?”
The captain of Huntington High’s basketball team is none other than Emmet. But that’s not why Matt joined the team. He was chosen by the coach himself and if it wasn’t for the girl of his dream is in the cheerleading squad, he would never even consider joining.
“So I can kick his ass.”
She felt comfortable like this. Cooped up in her own little world, though she had to extend for another year in high school but she didn’t care. One thing she loved about this school is the library. She would rather spend her lunch time here than face the childish drama that often happened at the cafeteria. She experienced that when she was 16; how popular kids crushed the not-so-popular ones and forgot about their aim to be here. To study.
Yeah right.
When she was 16, she used to pull prank on people too. Teachers, included. But that was two years ago. She wasn’t the same girl anymore. Now she had to concentrate on her college admission or she will have to work at her dad’s diner all her life.
Who is she? Well, her name is –
“‘Nice’ spot, Rev. You’re out of your fucking mind? You want them to find us that quickly?”
She sat up straight and listened hard. The half-whispering voice came from her back but she didn’t recognize it.
“Relax, Matt. Nobody ever comes here. Pass me a stick.”
Now that voice, she recognized very dearly. She turned her body discreetly and peeked behind the bookshelf, through the gaps from one book to another. She saw two guys sitting behind the library counter and they were smoking. One of them had a built body with a few tattoos inked on his shoulder and the other; was Jimmy.
“Damn that kid.” She cursed mildly under her breath. She knew Jimmy since she was 10. They lived next to each other and that means she had to endure the noise from his drums on weekends. Scratch that. Everyday, in fact.
She huffed quietly and switched her gaze towards Jimmy’s friend. He wore Guns n’ Roses sleeveless tee, showing his bulging biceps with his thick fingers rattled against his knee as he inhaled his cigarette. He had a set of scary eyes, that if you stare into them too long, you’ll get nightmare. They were dark, and it looked like he had drawn black eyeliner on them quite often. His lips were pierced at the right bottom and his ears sporting two gauges on their lobes.
“Meh. Emos.” She judged again. She wondered how the two encountered and became this odd pair of friends ever. She never liked emo kids anyway. They bring too much drama and attention.
She was about to turn her body upfront, facing her book again when the muscular guy suddenly laughed at what Jimmy had said. His laugh was so sincere that it showed a set of deep dimples etched on his cheeks.
“Wow..” She was stunned. Her blue eyes gawked at the guy as if she had just found the most beautiful creature on earth.
“SANDERS! SULLIVAN! SMOKING AGAIN?! PRINCIPAL’S, NOW!”
Those two scrambled out of their way and panicking, getting out of the library. She chuckled seeing them being jerked by Mr Warner like that.
“AND DON’T THINK I DON’T KNOW IF YOU’RE NOT GOING TO PRINCIPAL’S OFFICE!!” Mr Warner shouted again. She turned her body around finally and picked up her book.
“And you, Ms Ryder Williams.”
She gasped.
“What are you doing here? Isn’t now your seventh period?”
She gritted her teeth and faked a smile. Collecting her books on the table, she too, quickly scrambled her way out of the library.
“Fuck that old twat.”
Jimmy kicked the branches and leaves on the pavement while Matt hoisted up his backpack. A cigarette stuck between his fingers, where he would jab between his lips once in a while. They were finally back from their 3 hours detention and now heading towards their home.
“Damn I missed my practice today.”
“I didn’t know you care so much for the team.”
“I don’t. Today is Val’s practice too.”
Jimmy let out a heavy sigh and slung his arm over Matt’s shoulder.
“Matt, don’t be such a virgin. You need to get out more. See other girls. Or women if you’re into that sort of shit.”
Matt chuckled and inhaled the last straw of his cigarette. “I’m not you, Rev.”
“What the hell does that mean?”
“I don’t walk up to a girl and ask for sex, just like that.”
“Yeah, I figured. You don’t even walk up to a girl and say hi.”
He narrowed his eyes at Jimmy.
“Don’t look at me like that. I’m not afraid of you.”
After a while of glaring at his best friend, Matt shrugged. “Yeah I know. What the fuck do you want me to do? I can’t just go to the most popular girl in school and ask if I could get into her pants! You know I want more than that with her.”
“There’s the faggot right there. I wonder where he’s been hiding. Is it underneath this huge arm? Or is it behind this badass piercing right here..?”
“Quit it, Jimmy!”
Jimmy stopped playing with Matt’s body parts and laughed out loud. “You’re a lost cause, Matt. When was the last time you got laid?”
Matt took his time to answer this. He fiddled with his cap and his backpack, looking over to the houses they walked past on their way back and every other thing except answering that question.
Jimmy halted from his steps. “Matt.”
He was forced to stop too. “What?”
“Don’t tell me…you’re really a virgin?!”
Matt quickly cupped Jimmy’s mouth with one hand and scanned around. Luckily the street was empty.
“Lower your fucking voice, Rev! You want the whole neighborhood to know or what?”
As soon as Matt finished that sentence, Jimmy laughed heartily. He rolled on the ground and pressed his stomach.
“I can’t believe this! Hahahahaha! Matt! How can you..how..wow…”
“Shut up.”
“I mean…wow…you’re a big guy. Don’t you get at least one girl to give into you?”
“Like I said, I’m not you, damn it!”
Jimmy finally settled his laugh and coughed, regaining his tall posture again.
“So, you’re telling me…you’re shy?”
“I’m more of a relationship idiot kind of guy.”
Jimmy nodded and pushed his glasses a little. “Hmm..I see. Okay, I’ve decided.”
“On what?”
“You’re coming with me tonight whether you like it or not.”
He watched her every moves from afar, as she walked gracefully with her soft and sleek blonde hair swaying in a ponytail, smiling at her group of popular friends in this cafeteria. Once in while she would roll her eyes at what her friends said and he smiled at the scene.
“Hey, dude! Matt! Are you even listening to me?”
