“So, how you gettin’ home?” I walked past a group of gaping guys, Max beside me, as we made our way slowly to the front of the campus.
It had been an odd day, with lots of staring whispering, being introduced to new people, and all the usual events! One girl almost fell off her chair when I walked into Chemistry and introduced myself.
According to the girl sitting next to me, Natalia, my new friend, that was Bea Detroit, the prettiest and most popular girl in school. Apparently, she’d either suck up to me big time and become my ‘new best friend’ or go out of her way to humiliate me and turn me into the ‘misfit kid’. I laughed out loud at that bit. Bea Detroit was, surprise surprise, head cheerleader, and was the ringleader of those girls who thought they were god’s gift to fashion and guys. Her closest lapdogs were Courtney Logesspi and Fran Cruger, and together, they were poisonous. When I was told, I looked at Natalia and shrugged.
“So?”
“My escort and my two bodyguards are gonna meet me in the entrance hall. What about you?”
“Oh, my baby.”
“Sorry?!” I asked.
“I got a classic Ford Mustang Fastback. Bought it last year with the money I got from working at the Karl’s Gas Station downtown. You’ve got bodyguards?!” he asked, staring at me.
“Yeah, Kline and Carlos are Jules’s bodyguards and also PA’s I suppose, and mine, Ned, Vinny and Dontee are watching me. Pretty annoying really, but they’re like brothers to me. I was devastated when Ned got gunned down-”
“Shot at!”
“Yeah!” I glanced at him, smirking. “It’s no walk in the park being our families bodyguards, you know; I’ve almost been abducted twice! But you probably already know that.”
“Yeah I think I read… oh, sorry,” he stopped, catching a glimpse of my raised eyebrows.
“Don’t worry bout it,” I said, as we rounded a corner and emerged into the open plan of the entrance hall. There stood Jules, speaking into her mobile phone, Kline and Carlos by her side, as well as-
“Ned!” I raced up to a tall dark muscled man of 21, and flung my arms around him. He lifted me into the air and hugged me hard, as I buried my face into his shoulder.
“Hey Chubster, how’s it been! Sounds like you missed me!”
“Just a bit….I thought you weren’t discharged ‘til next Tuesday?”
“I got lucky! Tell you what it’s great to be back!”
“Great to have you back! Oh guys, Jules, this is Max, he’s starting work as one of our groundsmen today,” I said, dragging Max forward.
“Er, how’s it goin?” He said nervously. Ned was suddenly tense, and began eyeing Max suspiciously, but I just laughed.
“Easy, Ned; he’s not like that. He didn’t even know who I was when I first met him!” Ned seemed to relax a bit, but was still eyeing him with slight suspicion. I turned away from him shaking my head.
“So, when do you start?” I asked Max, who checked his watch.
“In about….oh man, 15 minutes! I gotta go, but I’ll catch you later, Darcy,” he called, sprinting out to the student car park, or parking lot as they say in Long Beach, across the courtyard. I watched until he disappeared into his ‘baby’, before turning back to the others.
“Have a good first day?” Jules asked, smiling at me.
“Yeah it was good!” I replied, as we began to walk out into the sunwashed courtyard, and turned down a path that led out to the main road. At the kerb stood Vinny, waiting to open the door to the Sports 4x4 my father owned, with tinted windows, plasma screen, the whole bundle, and with Dontee at the wheel. He flashed me a smile and I blushed and looked away; apparently he had quite a thing for me! I got into the car, thinking. Maybe I’d grow to like this school, perhaps more than the one in San Marino….. |
