“Well **** me.” I said aloud. I closed my eyes in appreciation for a brief moment as I heard the bell signaling the end of school and the start of summer vacation go off. Unlike most teenage guys who spent the whole summer at the beach and on road trips with hot *** girls I was more of the stay in my room all day playing minecraft kid. Its not like I really prefer that over what all the other guys are doing but I don't really have a choice. Throughout middle school and high school so far I never really got into the clicks and dumb **** to be able to hang out with such people. I suppose its never really bothered me because I don't really try to think about what everyone else is off doing but something today
triggered it.
This is where I’d put a description of myself or some dumb **** so you can picture what I look like but i’ll leave that out for now. Going back to what triggered those thoughts; I was walking through the hallway to my last class, mrs green english, generic ***** of a teacher name I know, and I saw one of the baddest chicks at my school. Selina Claire. Tell me that name doesn't just sound sexy as all ****. Now this girl was slender as hell and she had an *** if I ever saw one. Shes the type of chick that knows shes hot and acts like it, looking down on the guys she thinks aren't good enough for her and spending
all the money of the ones she thinks are. Now in the grand scheme of things she was the sexiest girl at my school, riverdick, riverdale high, but she wasn’t necessarily the most beautiful or the girl I liked the most so keep that in mind. She's also not the type of girl i’d choke up over if she turned me down, not that I would ever give her the opportunity. Anyway I saw her in the hallway and like when I see any extremely attractive girl my heart skipped a beat. In the split second trance I found myself in I noticed in my peripheral vision another guy get up close and personal with her kissing her or something. Ive seen the guy around think his name is Chad or something. Usually the guys who got the baddest girls were total douche bags but from what I heard this Chad is actually a decent guy. Seeing him in the corner of my eye for some reason, maybe it was the water, but the gears started turning. I had a thought; what makes these guys or for a lack
of a better word the people in these clicks so much different than me? Now I know you’re still curious as to what I look like and my overall character of sorts but I assure you I’m no nerd or geek or faggot or some **** that could possibly stand out in a negitive way. With that thought going through my head, seeming more realistic every second a slow smirk made its way up my face.
At that moment right there I had decided upon my mission for the summer. Simply put I was going to infiltrate the steel walled click of the popular kids. How I was gonna do this I didn’t give a **** but I would I would indeed. I ignored the rest
of Chad and Selina’s confrontation and continued my way to class with a strange optimism. The class went by in a breeze as I formulated ridiculous plans to grab the attention of the popular kids. Even I knew that a single plan or event probably wouldn't work to well, but during that class I had some minor ideas I thought I might as well try out.
The bell rang and for a brief moment I just basked in the moment of realization that summer had officially begun. This wasn’t a class I had any friends with so I wasnt one of the people screaming their heads off hugging the person closest to them. I was content with smiling at the
situation rather. I put in my earbuds and selected American Idiot by Greenday, I thought it would be an appropriate song for the atmosphere. Walking slightly quicker than usual to keep up with the sprint everyone else found themselves in to go find their friends I followed the crowd eager to get out the door. In the hallway I went with the flow of the sea of people rushing to get out while throwing their papers and various other items into the air. In the corner I saw a guy named ricard lighting someone's backpack on fire laughing his *** off. A few people who saw it were in hysterics but the girl who was still wearing the backpack didn’t find it so funny as she screamed tearing at the straps in an attempt to heave it off of herself. All of a sudden a guy rushed in to help the girl get her backpack off. Through the cheering crowd I could see him turn to glare menacingly at Ricard who was just recovering from his hysterical laughter. In an instant the
guy, who I know assumed to be the girls boyfriend, rushed at Ricard in a fit of rage. This was kindve a negative altercation but no one's mood seemed to be dampened by it, partly because fights were enjoyable to the crowd as well as they were all in the summer mood now. With that summer mood everyone would be excited no matter what. Now Ricard was a shorter kid, well shorter than me at least. He was about 5’ 8” and had a rather slender look to go with his straightened black hair. On first glance he looked like some emo kid but anyone who actually knew of him could tell you he was into mischief and whatnot. As the boy rushed at Ricard who braced himself and performed a seemingly practiced front kick that if not for the boys stocky build would have sent him back. Being that the boy had some weight to him Ricards legs collapse under the weight of the charge and he was slammed up against the locker just in time for a fist to connect with the left side
of his face.
“Hey!!!” a teacher came out pacing best he could through the crowd to get to the fight. The teacher was blocked off by the massive cluster of people watching the fight go down at this point. Still shouting he was drowned out by the cheers. Anyone would say that right now the fight was going the way of the other boy but as the boy was about to land his 4th consecutive punch Ricard ducked and the boys hand came crashing into the locker. Seeing the boy was stunned ricard took the moment to smash the boys face into the locker spraying blood from his nose everywhere. At that Ricard rushed through the
crowd who was now parting to get out of his way at the sight of him pulling out fire works, so he could escape the security guards finally getting to the scene.
“Holy **** did you see that?” my friend Dominick said coming up behind me putting his arm roughly around me excited after the recent events.
“That was ****ing crazy” I said laughingly. “Did you get a video?”
“Nah man I always forget to start recording when I see **** go down ya know?”
“Yeah I know, if you get a video of it send it to me will
ya?”
“For sure man, but listen theres a party going on tonight for a end of the year thing, you should come.”
At this point we were walking with the crowd and we each had to yell a little bit too be heard by one another.
“I don’t know man, not really my scene.” I replied.
“I know you don’t go to many parties man but come on it’ll be fun.” He said. “Here I’ll text you the address and you can think about it maybe. I’ll cya later.”
“Yeah okay.”
Dominick pushed through the crowd to get to his other friends who were emptying their paper filled backpacks into the air. I chuckled a bit and went through a back exit to escape most of the crowd. As I was walking out I had just remembered my whole plan for the summer. I have to go to that party I thought to
myself. I had no clue what I would do there but I was gonna make sure I had some fun.
“Hey buddy, how you doing?” Sergio came out of the blue with a couple of his friends and pushed me up against the door. I felt the adrenaline in me sky rocket and my face start to feel warm. Sergio was always ****ing around with kids who were by themselves. He wasn't particularly muscular or tall but him and his shaved headed friends looked menacing when in a group.
“What do you want?” I asked trying as hard as I could to not have my voice crack.
Just as he was about to say something back I heard a “Mr Lamon!” In a girlish voice trying to sound deep. I looked over and saw andy, Sergio’s sister, coming up giggling and tugging on her brothers arm to come away to the busses. She smiled at me and I gave a half hearted smile that immediately went back to a
straight face when sergio turned and smirked at me. I felt the air get knocked out of me and saw his fist retracting from my stomach. Sergio walked away with his friends laughing and I took a knee trying to catch my breath.
“Stupid ****er.” I said as I started to recover my breath. I stood up to see ricard watching me intently with an unlit cigarette in his mouth.
“Did you have fun there?”
“Obviously.” I said standing up and brushing off my knee. I walked down the steps too where ricard was sitting on the hood of one of the teachers cars. “That was some stunt you pulled in the hallway.”
“I had to upstage what I had done last year as you well know.” I had attended the same school as Ricard all throughout middle school and now in high school. Every year before school let out for summer he would do a better and better prank. Well by better I mean more extreme. Last year as a finally to his 9th grade year he set the teacher’s lounge bathroom on fire.

“Are you going to the party tonight?” I asked him. He slowly lit his cigarette and replied
“Well of course.” With a grin coming up his face. “Stay for the after party he added.” He hopped off the hood and walked away laughing hysterically to himself. I couldn’t help but smile at his seemingly always happy attitude. I put in my earbuds and scrolled to Dancing Queen by Abba. Smiling walking home I texted Dominick about the parties address.
