in Ohio
November 5th, 2002
Taylor sat in 8th period,which was advisory,to wait for school to end.As the clock ticked by,Taylor was getting more ticked off.Waiting for school to end was like waiting for Christmas to come.It took forEVA to end.Just when he was ready to lose his mind,school finally ended.
Taylor jumped out his seat and ran for Ms.Buil`s class to pick up Tia.Shanw was alread by the door,but Taylor bumped him out of the way and grabbed Tia as she walked out the door.He turned around to smile at Shawn.You know,one of those big,ANNOYING smiles that makes you wanna knock somebodies teeth out.That kind of smile.
Looking up,down and all around,Tia said,"What in the world are you smiling about?"He stopped smiling relizing 1/3 of the people in the hall way were looking at him.
"Oh,nothing.Nothing at all,"he said.He turned around to see Shawn right next to Tia.Before he could say a thing,Taylor whispered,"Go save me a seat on the bus,"when they were outside.
"You know,Tay,"said Shawn,"you lost your chance with Tia.You did drugs and just lost your chance.It`s time for you to face it.Tia`s mine now and you cant do diddley squat about it neither."
That did it.Throwing his books down on the ground,Taylor did a back tackle on Shawn.Shawn turned around and gave him a mind blowing punch in the jaw.The chanting started."Fight,fight,fight!"it came.They didnt even pay attention to the chanting.Taylor ws on his back with Shawns fist high in the air.
"Shawn!"came a girls voice.It sounded like Tia,but Taylor couldnt tell.He looked up to see Tia holding on tight to Shawn`s arm.
