My boredom lingered on despair as I sit at home alone wondering what my friends are doing at school. I wouldn’t be in this situation if I would have stayed out of trouble. My antics got me suspended from school, and enough trouble with the law that they had me on house arrest. I could not talk to my friends and I couldn’t go anywhere either. My thoughts start to stray towards Lisa. Lisa is a petite blonde that amazes me with her intelligence. I find myself thinking about her more and more often as I serve out this time on house arrest. She has a flawless complexion and her curves make her seem older than her 15 years. I guess we could call my feelings toward her lustful.
Finally, it’s 3:00 on a Friday afternoon and my homeboy Martin will be over to see me shortly. As soon as he gets here I’ll have somebody to talk to. When he gets here he reports to me that the girl he likes, Anna, will be spending the night at Lisa’s house. Isn’t it amazing how things work out sometimes. I took this to be an omen that I would never get caught if I broke house arrest tonight. I need to tell you that Anna has never really showed any interest in short, chubby Martin, but I can’t break that news to him. I lie and tell him that we’re in, when what I mean is, I’m in. Really, Anna with her tall beanpole-like figure isn’t anything to get too excited about. Her shoulder length brown hair is always pulled back so tightly it looks as if her forehead is about to crack.
"So, how do you want to do it?" Martin asks me.
"Well, seeing as how neither one of us has a car, we’re gonna have to meet somewhere close to their house since they got what we want," I tell him.
"Okay, you sneak out about 11:00 and come to my house. Then we’ll meet them at Oakdale park about 12. You need to call them and tell ‘em what the deal is. Make sure you remind them that there’s plenty of bushes at the park," Martin says chuckling and nudging me with his elbow.
"Yeah, I’ll call and let them know."
I’ve been dying to talk to Lisa all day. She’s even entertaining to talk to on the phone for 4-5 hours. You know if you put up talking to any woman that long you really got something for her. As...
... middle of paper ...
...e everything else Lisa does, she is good at making love.
When I peel my eyes away from Lisa’s, I realize we are on the interstate.
"What the fuck are you doing on the interstate," I ask Eric furiously.
"Say man, chill out, you don’t have to cuss me." Eric replies as we pass a highway patrol.
I look back as we pass to see if he’s following.
"Shit! He’s following us." I’m so pissed off at Eric my teeth are grinding together loudly. I had told him that we couldn’t drive on the interstate and not only do four teenagers in a brand new car look suspicious, we’re not even a hundred miles from Salina and they’ll be looking for the car.
"I’m gonna pull over, man. Maybe all they want is to find out where we’re going," Eric says stupidly.
"NOOOOO! Are you a total idiot? Even if they are they’ll find out that this car is stolen, you dumbass."
As Eric pulls over, all I can think is that as good as Lisa was, she wasn’t worth this.
When someone has a nearly "perfect" life, it’s hard to believe that person could be going out of his or her mind. Lisa Bright and Dark, by John Neufeld, explores the world of mental illness through Lisa Shilling, a sixteen year old who believes she is going crazy. Though she and her friends know this, she is unable to receive help because her parents think she is making it up. With no adult help, the problem has to be taken into the hands of Lisa and her three teenage friends.
His demeanor lifted for a brief moment as he recalled something, before shifting back to his previously interrupted, confrontational speech. “Worse still, you don’t even have a day’s experience in patrol, and you’re looking to
To the missing driver, Norman said, “Now would be the time to turn yourself in. There's still time to explain your actions.”
She looked at him with surprise, she knew she had to get away. "Well, I'm sorry, but I don't really know anything about cars. I don't think that I would be able to help you."
this was not what had occurred and his vehicle was in fact stolen. I asked
Spring break week had come; all the guys had decided to go out and have a crazy night down on the strip. We went from bar to bar, having a good old time just like back in the day. MMM had found this incredibly gorgeous girl at one of the bars. By this time, we were quite intoxicated, and apparently so was this girl. Marco stumbled up to me, and said “I’m going to nail this chick, I’ll see you guys later!” and off they went. As usual, nobody thought anything of it, and we continued on with our night.
“Garcia from criminal minds.” I responded. “Oh. No one is gonna know who you are Bethany.” She said, with a humorous grin on her face. “ I don’t care. I think I look cute.” I said proudly. I walked to the bonfire after grabbed a hotdog and sat next to Finn Eckart, and A girl I had not met. She had brown hair and brown eyes, she was stick thin and sipping out of a red cup. “Hi, I’m Bethany. Have we met?” I asked. This wasn’t something I normally did. I stuck with my crowd. Which mainly was just my best friend Rebecca Pillar and I. “I’m Sadie.” She responded. “Oh, I’ve never seen you before.” I said, wondering if she would give me more information. “Yeah, I just moved here from a base in Texas.” She replied. “Oh okay. So you’re parents are in the military?” I asked. “My dad.” She responded. “Oh okay.” I said nodding. I was going to say more but suddenly a girl who looked my age ran up to Sadie. “Sadie, they’re going to play Hide N’ Seek, are you coming?” She asked. “Umm yeah.” I got up and walked with Sadie. “Brooke this is
“The car will be there,” Phil said as we neared the rest stop. “You worry too much.”
As our car drove closer, I could see there were other cars just like the one I'm
“I know you di’nt, but we gotta get out of here or you're gonna get shot.”
“I have no idea officer. Why did you pull me over? “ I answered back to him with a smart mouth attitude.
"I have a better idea. I'm going to pick up Steve and you're coming with me. While we're in the car, you and Steve can work out your issues."
“ I remember seeing a hotel a couple miles back we could stay there tonight and figure something out tomorrow.” I said as it's getting late, he then nodded his head and we started walking.
“Are you sure you want to be at home? How about you stay at my place tonight instead?”
"Nonsense, if you remember, this won’t be the first murdered person I've seen. I assume that's why all these cops are here."
