musique and Friendship, What plus Do I Need? Part Six

posted by Peaceandlove67

Months had passed, and Erin was getting ready to start high school. She was a bit nervous, considering she was among the youngest in her grade. Her brother, Daniel, said, "You don't have to be scared. I'll be there." She said, "Thanks, Daniel. My Friends will be there, too. It's good that I'll be seeing familiar faces." He said, "There toi go. toi won't be alone." Her first jour wasn't so great. In her first class, one of her classmates put a kick me sign on her back. Luckily, when she left, her friend, Paul, noticed it and took it off. She asked, "What's going on, Paul?" He said, "This." He showed her the kick me sign. She said, "Thanks, Paul." He said, "You're welcome, Erin." Later, some of the populaire girls kept calling her ugly. She tried to ignore them, but she was deeply sensitive. She pretended she needed to use the restroom so that she could be alone to cry. A few moments later, she heard her friend Allie say, "Erin, you've been in here a long time. Are toi okay?" Erin said, "I'm fine." Allie said, "You're crying. I know you're not. Come out and tell me what's wrong." Erin came out and said, "I'm having a bad day. High school sucks already." Allie hugged her and said, "The day's not over yet. Maybe it will turn good." Erin smiled and said, "I guess you're right." Allie said, "There's a smile. Now let's get back out there." Unfortunately, Erin's jour did not turn good. At the end of the day, Erin tripped over her own feet and fell down. Everyone around her laughed. One of the populaire girls said, "Oh, my God! Did toi just fall?" Erin a dit sarcastically, "No, I thought the floor needed a hug!" Another one of the populaire girls said, "She's like the mayor of Klutzville. She like literally tripped over nothing." The populaire girls continued to laugh. Another one said, "That was funny. Did toi think it was funny, Erin?" Erin a dit sarcastically, "That was so funny I forgot to laugh." They left her lying on the floor alone. She began to cry. She then heard someone shouting. "Erin! Erin!" It was Paul. She looked up. He asked, "Are toi all right? What happened?" She said, "I tripped over my own feet, and I fell down. The populaire girls made fun of me." He said, "That's just absurd! Even if they aren't your friends, they should still ask if you're okay just out of human kindness!" He helped her up. She said, "Thanks." He said, "You're welcome. Are toi okay now?" She said, "Yeah, I think so." When she got home, she told her aunt and uncle about her day. Her aunt said, "I'm sorry toi had a bad day, Erin. Don't get discouraged, though. The seconde jour is never as bad as the first." Erin went back the suivant day. Her aunt was right. The seconde jour was a good day. Erin knew she would make it through with a little help from her friends. At the end of the day, she walked out with her Friends chant the Beatles song, "With a Little Help From My Friends". The populaire girls made fun of them, but they didn't care. They had each other. Who needs populaire girls anyway? They're nothing but a bunch of preppy bitches.

ChiliPepperLuv I'm glad Erin has her friends in the good days and the bad. I like your stance on popular girls. Even if they act nice, they're actually really mean.

RetroRock64 I agree with ChiliPepperLuv.

Rubyrings How did the popular girls get to be popular if they're not nice to anyone? Wouldn't being truly popular mean that people like you, not just that you're pretty? And they should be trying to prove that pretty, popular girls can be nice, not being the mean girls that people expect them to be!

Peaceandlove67 Well, popular girls at my school are skinny little bitches, and they're only pretty on the outside.

BeatlesRock64 It was that way at my school, too.

Rubyrings They sound much too awful to justify being popular.

Peaceandlove67 Yes, they do, but like I said, mean people who are physically beautiful always get the benefit of the doubt.

At first, Paul got no answer. He heard some funny gasping, choking noises coming from inside Hank's bedroom. "Hank? It's me, Paul. I know you're in there."
More gulps for air, and then, "Okay. Come in."
Paul opened the door and stepped into his brother's room, which was full of model cars, posters of athletes and action movies, and lots of football gear. Hank sat on his bed, head downcast, looking plus forlorn than Paul had seen him in a long time. He was gasping for breath and blinking hard, and Paul realized his brother was trying very hard not to cry.
"You know, if toi need to let it out,"...

Paul woke up with the strange feeling that he wasn't alone. As he opened his eyes and stared around his room groggily, he saw Hank, sitting quietly par his lit and watching him. He looked anxious, but the seconde he saw Paul's eyes on him, he hitched on a grin. "Nice of toi to montrer yourself, Paul."
"Right, Hank." Paul couldn't help smiling a little himself. He tried to push himself up into a seated position, and found he wasn't quite too sore to manage it. "How'd the tryouts go?"
Hank's grin turned briefly into a real one. "I'll make the team again for sure." His smile faded. "I just hope I make...

In the past, whenever a new school an started Paul and Hank would ride the bus together, excitedly speculating what might happen this year. Paul would listen to Hank happily anticipating the football games he would play with his Friends at recess, and later his hopes and fears about whether he would make the football team. Hank would playfully talk as though Paul's musique and jouer la comédie had already made him a successful star.
Today, Paul sat on the bus alone - ou rather, he felt alone, as two of his Friends from last year's drama club sat on either side of him talking about what play the school...

Pretty soon, Paul got tired of just sitting in his bedroom. He decided to go for a walk through the neighborhood. He went up the colline that overlooked the neighborhood.

And he knew it wasn't really Hank's training regimen that was making it impossible for...

While the rain poured down outside, Everett and Una did an impromptu dance party in their hotel room, and they sang their favourite songs and invented crazy moves and Everett picked up Una and spun her around as their grand finale.
They frequented the buffet. It turned out the hotel had an all-day buffet, and very few people were using it when it wasn't officially mealtime. They enjoyed sampling all the snacks and Una discovered a new favourite key citron vert tart. One time at the buffet, Una and Everett even struck up a conversation...

She said, "That's why it's important to embrace your inner child." He said, "I think so.

Within the half-hour, the fort was complete. Una and Everett had draped a blanket over two chairs they had pushed together, and used pillows and wadded-up sheets for extra coziness. The whole thing took longer than it might have, because Una threw a oreiller at Everett and started a oreiller fight.
Finally, the fort was up, and they sat under it on some folded sheets, Una flopped down and laughing, Everett sitting up beside her and laughing too.
"Let's tell stories," Una said.
"Okay," Everett agreed readily. "There's a good one from a short movie I've been practising editing in film school."
