Jr.High P.1

The first day of school had arrived and Tia was syched.After two long months,she could see her boyfriend,Taylor again.He`s gone all summer for rehab.Remebering the dreadful night when he was given an alcoholic beverage at the end of the school year party still haunted her.She skipped merrily into the school building.Not far behind her was actually him,Taylor.Looking down at the ground,he thought how he could face his friends,his girlfriend,his school...Getting drunk was no holiday.He took one step onto the steps of Trackner High and was already being teased.
"Hey,Taylor.Wanna get drunk.We could hang out in rehab,"said Shawn Bergan,his 'Best' friend.Behind him,Taylor could hear everyone snicker at Shawn`s snyed remark.
Why dont you just back off,Shawn.I didnt get drunk on prupose.Someone poured it into my drink."Taylor fought back.He was ready to push his way through the crowd,but Shawn and th erest of his 'friends' were right in front of him.
Leaning forward,he told Taylor,"You lost it all.You lost your friends,education,your place on the basketball team,but most of all,you lost Tia.Had your chance,lost it,and I can finally ask Tia out."said Shawn.Turning,he spat,"You know,Tia is really nice and cute.Smart too.I cant understand why anyone,even you,would do something like this to her."
If the bell hadnt of rang,Taylor would have knocked his lights out.Instead he pushed himself through the crowd.He got stares,glares,and some whispers and once in a while,a smart alik remark like "Here comes the drunk,fair,fat,and plump".His face was red from anger,but he did nothing.All Taylor could think about was Tia and getting to her before Shawn.
Fat chance.He got there just in time to see Shawn talking to her.He knew what he was asking by leanning on her locker.He could also see that Tia wasnt intrested in what he had asked her.
"Hi,Tia,"Taylor said,walking up to her.
"Hey,Taylor!Feeling better?"she asked.He was surprised at how she had asked the question.It was as if she didnt know he went to rehab at all.
"Fine,great,really.I was all ready for you to give me the third degree on why I got drunk,"He said.Looking up a Shawn,he asked,"Is Shawn bothering you?"
She turned and said,"He asked me a stupid question.If I wanted to go the movies with him,but i`m hoping that was a joke,"she whispered to him.The secound bell rang,signaling that they were late.
We`ll talk about Tia AFTER school Shawn.As a matter of fact,screw talking.I`m ready for an all out fight,Taylor thought,glaring Shawn`s back.
