Old Acquaintances Meet Again

"Melissa wake up you're going to be late for school."

"Hmph."

"Come on, don't make me come up there!"

"Noooo."

"Up now."

I continued laying in bed, knowing that mom is just bluffing. She won't come up here. She will just keep hounding me until I give in, annoyed, and get ready.

"Thats It! Im tired of you not listening to me!"

After a few minutes of silence I began to hear loud thumps on the stairs.

Right when I started to drift off to sleep again I felt my covers come off, revealing me in just a shirt and light blue boy shorts. I then felt something smack down on my ass pretty hard.

"Ow!"

"I told you to get up!"

"Im up, Im up."

I turned over and sat up to see my mom holding two really thick Cosmopolitans, ready to strike again.

"Hurry up, or I'll give you another smack!"

"I'm hurrying!"

I grumpily dragged myself into my bathroom and took a shower. After I was done I came out and walked over to my closet. I sifted through the clothes until I came upon some baggy black capris and a red and black Element shirt. I pulled on my socks and Adios, then started to put on my make-up. I put eyeliner thickly around my eyes along with mascara and some lip gloss to give my lips a little shimmer.

"Melissa, hurry your ass up."

"I'm coming."

When I got to school, I rushed to first period where our teacher was just ready to start class.

"Ok students open up your liter-"

There was loud laughter coming from outside the door. I looked at the teacher, Mrs. Parks, and she looked pretty pissed off.

"Yea alright I'll see you dipshits at lunch."

"Mr. Margera please watch your language and explain why you are late!"

"Um, I was skating."

Lucky son of bitch. Oh well, I'll be skating the rest of the day after school.

"Well Mr. Margera, what are you waiting for? Take a seat."

Bam came over and sat next to me.

"Hey Mel whats up?"

"What does it look like? I'm bored as hell."

"Yea, you going to the skate park after school?"

"Hell yea, you know I am."

"Alright then, me and Raab will meet you up there. Are you gonna eat lunch with us again?"

"If you want me too."

"Then it's settled. You're eating lunch with us and then after school were going to the skate park."

"Alright."

"Mr. Margera and Ms. Marts! Why are you talking while I am talking?"

I looked over and Bam then looked at Mrs. Parks.

"I know Mr. Margera won't tell the truth so, Ms. Marts, why are you speaking?"

"I dont know, I guess I just felt like it."

"You two are making a disturbance. Please stop."

"Alright."

Class ended pretty shortly and it was time for lunch. I went to find Bam and Raab when someone scared me.

"Hey! Who are you lookin' for?"

"Holy shit Raab you scared me!"

"Ha ha yea."

"Dipshit."

"Yea lets go, Bam is over there."

Raab led me over to the table where Bam was at and we sat down.

"Hey Mel."

"Hey Bam."

"Raab, after school Mel is going to hang out with us and skate."

"Cool. Hey Mel wheres Sam?"

"Oh she's sick today."

"Oh."

Aw, Raab has a crush on her.

"So Mel whats new?"

"Huh? Oh right, nothing really."

"Nothing new with your mom?"

"No why?"

"Just wondering."

"Raab you are one strange person."

"Damn straight I am!"

I shook my head and leaned back in my chair when I heard my name being called.

"Melissa!"

I turned around to see who it was and saw it was Marcus, the leading quarterback. I turned back and around and Bam said, "You talk to that frat boy?"

"No, I have never spoken to him before."

"Melissa come here."

"Bam, I'm gonna go over and see what he wants."

"Alright, but don't come back one of them."

"Alright I'll be right back."

Standing up I pushed in my chair and walked over to Marcus.

"Hey Mel."

"Don't call me that, only my friends can."

"Oh fiesty."

"Shut up dickweed!"

"Come here I want to ask you something."

I slowly walked closer and glared at him as rudely as possible. Once I got by his side I huffed very loudly.

"So um, Melissa, you want to do something after school?"

"No."

"Come on you know you do."

"Actually no I don't. I'm going skating with Bam and Raab."

"Come on baby ditch those pussies and come hang out with a real man."

After he said that he grabbed me by my waist and pulled me down onto his lap. I struggled to get up but he kept a firm grip. Finally I elbowed him right in the nose and got up, punching him in the nuts.

"You little slut!"

"Fuck you!"

"Hey!"

Bam and Raab came over angrily.

"Don't call her a slut you fucking frat boy!"

"Fuck off pussy no one was talking to you!"

Bam moved towards him like he was going to punch him when I grabbed his arm.

"Bam don't. I already elbowed him and busted his nuts."

"Alright, lets go."

He grabbed me by the hand and we walked back to our table.

Oh he's holding my hand. Wait, I can't like him, he's just a friend.

Lunch soon ended and we went our seperate ways. Fifth, sixth, and seventh period was all the same; long and boring as hell. Finally the bell rang and I grabbed my stuff and walked to the front of the school to wait for Bam and Raab.

"Hey Mel!"

"Oh hey Raab."

"Bam is on his way."

"Ok."

"So is Sam gonna come to school on Monday?"

"Uhm, I think so."

"Cool."

Bam soon came out and we skated off towards the skate park. About an hour into skating my cell phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Hey Melissa!"

"Hey mom."

"You need to come home and pack."

"What do you mean pack?"

"We're moving. You can say good-bye to your friends tomorrow."

"This isn't right. Why?"

"Because I said so?"

"Why so sudden? What the hell?"

"Do what I say young lady. Now come home, now!'

"Fine!"

I hung up the phone then turned it off.

"Mel what was that about?"

"I'm fucking moving tomorrow. I have to go home and pack."

"Damn..."

"I know. Hey well I gotta go. Oh Bam? Raab? Do ya'll wanna come over tomorrow before I leave."

"Of course."

"Alright see you guys tomorrow, bye."

I skated home and started packing. That Saturday was the last time I ever saw Bam or Raab. I moved out of Westchester, Pennsylvania and moved into Charlotte, North Carolina. I thought I would never see him again, until now.
