The next day, at noon, a group of teenagers went to pay their last respects for the man that had been their Principal. The entrance of the high school was once more covered in flowers and signs. Pictures of Principal Walker adorned everything. Christie walked along the corridors with Diana.
-“He was such a sweet man…” – said Diana
-“I, for one, am not that sad about his death. He could be a real prick when he wanted to.”
-“Christie! How can you say that!?” – asked Diana in shock
-“The guy was a prick! Remember that time he caught me smoking in the girls’ bathroom? He sent me home and called my parents…I’m still paying for that one.”
-“Christie, he was only doing his job! Besides you shouldn’t smoke anyways, it fucks up your lungs…”
-“Sure, take his side! Damn, Diana! Ever since you started going out with Jake is like you’re not my friend anymore! It’s like he put into your freaking brain a anti-Christie chip! You’ve done nothing except criticize me!”
-“What the hell are you talking about!?!”
-“Wanna know? It seems that ever since you fell in love with that jerk I’m not important anymore! We used to do so many things together, and you have already forgotten me! Whatever! I’m outta here!” – said Christie as she walked to the parking lot.
Christie got into her car, turned the ignition on and left. Diana stood in the same place where the fight had taken place. She couldn’t believe the words of her best friend. After a couple of minutes, all Diana could do was shrug and think that probably Christie was having a bad week. She took her cell phone from her back pocket and dialed Jake’s number.
-“Hey, babe! You doing something?” – asked Diana when Jake answered. –“Could you pick me up, I’m at the school… I’ll tell you when you get here, okay? Yeah, love you too.”
In less than ten minutes, Jake was picking up Diana.
-“Hey, baby. What happened? I thought you were going to be with Christie today…”
-“I was.” – said Diana getting inside Jake’s car. –“But, I think she’s having a really bad week. Either that or she got her period, ‘cuz she just flipped out on me. She started yelling that I was a bad friend and I don’t know what else…”
They looked at each other. Jake smiled at his girlfriend and asked:
-“No kiss for me today, uh?”
Diana laughed and kissed Jake. Jake put the car in Drive and they left. Jake parked his car in the driveway of his own house.
-“My mom’s home today. She’s kinda freaked out.” – said Jake.
-“How freaked out?”
-“Very. Remember when I told you that a few years back my mom had dated Walker?”
-“Yeah.”
-“Well, apparently they were dating again. And, well…she’s not herself today.” –said Jake entering the house.
When Diana entered after Jake she got hit by a great aroma: fresh baked cookies. Cookies don’t seem like she’s taking it that bad, thought Diana. That is, until she entered the kitchen. The kitchen was full of baked goods, in every table or space there was a cake or a tray of cookies. Diana saw oatmeal, chocolate chip, sugar, chocolate, and almond cookies. There was also a round cake that smelled like Lemon cake, a squared one that smelled like coconut. Besides the cakes and cookies, Diana could see a cheesecake and doughnuts. And in the middle of it all, stood Mrs. Johnson putting frosting on a chocolate cake. When Mrs. Johnson looked up from the cake, Diana smiled at her. Mrs. Johnson had chocolate frosting all over her face.
-“Diana, darling! You’re here!!!” – said Jake’s mother with an unusual high pitched voice and a weird forced smile. –“Here, try a cookie.”
Diana was about to say no to the cookie when Stephanie, who was standing behind her mom, started pleading to Diana to take it. Diana took it a got a bite.
-“Is it good?” –asked Mrs. Johnson.
-“Yeah! It’s a great cookie, Mrs. J!” – Said Diana.
-“Here, take another one!” – said Mrs. Johnson putting another cookie in Diana’s hand.
-“Mom, you gotta stop it! If you keep baking like this the smell of sugar is going to give Stephanie cavities!” – said Jake putting one hand on his mom’s shoulder.
-“That’s if hasn’t already done the damage… I think I got like 2 new cavities!” –said Stephanie.
-“I know.” – said Mrs. Johnson starting to cry. –“It’s just that he loved so much my cooking.”
Mrs. Johnson threw herself at Jake crying. Jake hugged his mom and whispered something in her ear. She said “Okay” and Jake took his mom upstairs. Stephanie stood in front of Diana.
-“She’s taking his death pretty hard.”
-“Yeah, I noticed.” – said Diana –“So, how you’ve been Steph?”
-“You know, doing homework, eating a whole lot of cookies and terrified to my bones. You?” – said Stephanie with a touch of sarcasm.
-“I guess I’ve been the same, except for the cookies part.” – said Diana, and Stephanie smiled.
Jake came down the stairs and saw the two girls smiling.
-“Hey, what’s so funny?” – he asked
-“Nothing, we’re smiling to hide how terrified we are…” –said Stephanie with a touch of sarcasm again while she went to her room upstairs.
-“You know, I’m beginning to think that sarcasm is Stephanie’s native tongue.” – said Jake.
-“Yeah, I think you’re right!”
