High As The Guillotine Blade [2]

on my way to lunch I ran into Brandon. I think he saw what I drew during art, because thats the only reason he would start talking to me.

"Hey"
"Hi"
"You're Dan right?"
"Yeah"
"I'm Brandon"
"Yeah I know" we continued the walk in silence, I walked slowly because I was glad just to talk to him. the Silence only lasted like 30 seconds but it felt like hours.

"So are you okay" he asked
"I don't know, I don't think so" I said quietly
"Oh. Well whats wrong?"
"my mom died, my friend killed herself--" I cut off there. I didn't want to say the next one "--and my friends offered me drugs" I said
"Oh, people offer me drugs all the time." he said
"What do you say?"
"No." Brandon replied proudly "I don't want to look 60 when I'm 30, also I'm an athlete, I don't want to ruin anything" I had forgotten that he was the striker for the soccer team, and they were like 5th in the country.
"What should I say?"
"you should say no."
"Well the problem is when I look at the pills I see my mom, when I look into the bottle I see ashley. They say that when you do the drugs it makes you forget stuff and you're happy"
"What do you want to forget?" I could hear the curiousity in his voice.
"okay but you can't tell a soul. farankly I was happy to tell someone.
"Deal"
"okay, after my mom died, my dad still loved her. he thought that if I wasn't born she wouldn't've been on drugs, which is what killed her, so now everytime I see my dad he hits me"
"Woah. Dude, you should tell someone" he sounded shocked, but yet concerned
"I don't want him to be thrown in jail"
"That may be, but no guy wants a girlfriend who is always scared of her dad." He looked me straight in the eyes, his green and blue eyes hypnotized me, and I was speachless. I understood what he was saying I just didn't belive it.
"I like talking to you, maybe we could meet up sometime like, Saturday?"
"Y...Y...Yeah cool" Shit. I studdered. I always do that when I'm nervous, but at the same I time I was scared. I didn't want to have my heart broken, that would only want me to do the pills more. He didn't say anything about how me doing the pills would make him not like me, if I did though, I woudl have to stay away from him, that way he would never know.
Perfect.

during lunch I sat by Clemintine and Natilie. They looked at me with wide smiles on their faces. Natilies purse was on the table and I knew what was in it. they were quiet while they ate, then out of the blue, Clemintine jumped exitedly,  and asked "So you gonna do it?" she sounded very eager
"Yeah and the same ones that I wanted to take this morning" Yes. next period was History
"okay deal" said Natilie. We just sat there untill the last 5 mins of lunch was up, then we walked silently through the 2 minutes that it took to get to our lockers, then the 2 minutes that it took to get to the bathroom from there.
