Walk This Way: | PmTick | 1

 

"Only two more weeks before graduation. Then, I won't have to put up with this high school shit anymore," Mike said to himself as he slammed his locker door closed, and walked down the halls of his high school. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of that yellow and red sweater he loved so much. He hated everything about this school except her: Lauren Forbes, captain of the cheerleading squad.

They had lived next door to each other since she moved here from Chicago in the 2nd grade. They used to play all the time, but once they hit Jr. High, they ran with different cliques. She was popular, surrounded by jocks and cheerleaders. He was surrounded by foreign-exchange students and other outcasts he never went out in public with.

"Shit! She's coming this way! Act cool, Mike; Act cool."

As she passed by, she turned and flashed him a smile. "Hi. Mike. How've you been?"

Mike's voice cracked as he answered her, "Alrighhhht, I guess."

She laughed a bit. "Hey, can you help me out later? My car is in the shop, and I need a ride home from practice. Can I get a lift from you?"

"Umm... Uh... Sure... Yea."

"Thanks, Mike. You're the best."

Right after class, Mike flew down the highway towards the car wash. He spent all the money he had on the deluxe-platinum-gold wash. His Dodge Dart never looked or smelled better.

At 4:30, he pulled up to the Gym. Lauren entered the car a moment. "Thanks for picking me up, Mike."

"No problemo." Problemo?? He thought, who the fuck says that?

She giggled again, and asked, "Remember when we used to play Doctor when we were little?"

"Yeah, I miss those days."

"Me too, Mike. Say... You wanna hang out a bit?"

"Sure. What do you want to do?"

"Umm, I dunno. You pick; We can go to the mall, the movies, or just hang at my place."

 

Where does Mike want to go?


          Hang at Lauren's.

          Mike goes to the movies

          On the way to the mall
