I dashed out of study hall and saw Mikey coming out of a the gym. He was walking with Steve. Fuck I didn’t know Mikey knew Steve...

"What did you tell your brother?" I asked Mikey. Steve smiled at me. I smiled back.

"The truth." he replied and kept walking.

"Come on Mikey." I said. "He’s seriously pissed at me now." I said walking along side of him.

"Well good." Mikey said. He looked all smug.

"Just let me explain." I pleaded.

"Boy you say that a lot." Steve interrupted.

"Huh?" I said. Mikey and I both looked at him.

"Let me explain..you seem to say that a lot." Steve says smiling. I crinkle my eyebrows at him. I do not..do I?

"Yeah you do!" Mikey laughs. Its like he was reading my mind. I frowned. "I could just see your tombstone...'Here lies Elle Waller-what happened??-just let her explain...'." Mikey and Steve laughed. I tried not to but it was funny. Mikey smiled at me.

"Come on...I wasn’t with Paul like that..." I said grabbing Mikeys arm. "You know I really like your brother." I whined.

Mikey sighed. "Alright Elle I'll tell you what I said...but only cause I know he really likes you too and he makes my life hell when hes depressed." He said as we walked towards the math room. "I told him you left with Paul yesterday." He said matter of fatly. I frowned. "Well you did." He said pushing his glasses up.

"What did he say?" I asked

"He said he didn’t believe me and that if you did nothing would’ve happened.." Mikey said looking over his shoulder.

"Well nothing did happen." I told him.

"Thats a nice story and all Elle" Mikey said rolling his eyes.

"Its the truth NOTHING happened. you dont believe me?" I insisted

"It doesn’t matter what I think but your story would be more convincing if you didn’t show up in the same clothes as yesterday." Mikey said frowning. I pouted my lip out. I went to object and Mikey lifted his hand up "Or woke up in the back seat of Pauls car." Mikey added. I looked at Steve. He nodded in agreement.

"You told Gerard that I was sleeping in Pauls car?" I asked him in disbelief. He shook his head no.

"Uh actually Gerard asked me to go over and wake you up..." Steve said.

"Oh fuck." I mumbled. The warning bell rang.

"Uh I gotta go" Steve said and he walked away leaving Mikey and me in the math rooms doorway.

"Mikey you’ve gotta help me.Nothing happened I swear..we spent the whole night in the ER" I said as we went in. Mikey rolled his eyes at me.

"Nice story..but you’re gonna have to try harder than that!" He laughed.

"Hey Elle what happened to Paul?" Dave-eric-derreck asked me as we sat. Mikey looked at him.

"Huh?" I asked

"I heard he was attacked by a rabid pack of coyotes" Dave said. Mikey cocked his head to side and looked at Dave.

"Yeah man I hear his hands all fucked up and now he cant play for the rest of the season.." Dave said nodding to Mikey. "Hes finished man..I mean for scholarships and shit." Dave said shaking his head.

A smile crept across Mikeys face, then he looked at me and he said "Alright Elle...I'll help you with Gee..IF you tell me everything that happened."

So I did…Mikey found my story awfully amusing. Especially when I told him I had no idea that squirrels live in tree holes.Go figure. Mikey said that even he knew squirrels lived in trees. I always thought they lived underground like bunnies or chipmunks. Mikey said chipmunks live in trees too...Hmm..Im gonna have to look that up. Then he said that I’m just lucky that I didn’t get bit. I kind of wished I did.

Maybe then Gerard would be nice to me. After class Mikey said he'd talk to him during lunch. Hmmm.. maybe I'll ask Ray to help me too, I thought as walked into social studies. Mr. what’s his name stopped me at the door. He held out another red slip and exam book.

"Take it to the library Miss Waller and no tricks this time.." He said pushing me out. Aw fuck. I cant even talk to Ray now. I made my way to the library. The bitch librarian just looked so thrilled to see me again.

"Did you sprain something else?" She hissed at me. What the fuck. This lady seriously doesn’t like me. I hand her my slip from class. She waves me towards the back of the room. I sit down and open my exam. Fuck. I so dont want to do this. I pull out my altoids.

Just one..thats all I need is one. I’m so fucking tired...I pull out some speed. Now I know this is speed..not like that shit from the other day..oh wait..what if its the same..better take two..yeah just incase. I’m so fucking tired...I pop another in. The bitch librarian is looking over.

"Altoid?" I offer her. She frowns. Whatever I just thought maybe I could get her off my back like I did to Frankie. ha!

I start filling out the red slip again. I should fill it out the same way I laugh to myself....You know these look like the same fucking questions..huh. I bet he gave me the same motherfucking test. Lets see I remember question 2 was something about some dude dying. Yeah here it is. Holy shit. He gave me the same test.

I color back in my red bubbles. Elle rules! I totally do! I’m gonna so get an A!! I’m smiling so hard now. Hmm. Well that took like 5 minutes..What can I do now. I wonder if they have any books in here. I look around. Its a fucking library. Wall to wall books. I wonder if any of these books are about chipmunks. I should go ask the librarian. No better not. Oh fuck here she comes.

"Are you done already?" she asks. I nod. "A hundred and seventy nine questions in 5 minutes?" She says looking at the sheet. I nod again.She frowns and takes my paper and walks away.

I get up and start looking through some books.Where the hell are the chipmunk books? This is fucking impossible. I walk back over to her desk.

"Uh how can I found out about chipmunks?" I ask her. She doesn’t look up.

"You can use the computer on the wall." She says pointing to it.

Okay whatever. It was like a card catalog on the fucking computer. Hmmm. Now I know theyve fucking taught us how to use this but I wasn’t paying attention... Fuck. I type in chipmunk...hmmm. it wants to know what category...uh famous people.no...biographies no....history? okay yeah.. that sounds right...I click on history..Hmmm. it says there’s a book about a famous chipmunk. The Chipmunk De Havilland...what the fuck is that? I scroll down..Says he fought in WWII? No I’ve got to be reading this wrong...I squint.

Fuck no thats what is says. A lot of chipmunks fought. Damn...I’ve gotta get this book. I write the call numbers on my hand. Fuck now lets see. Uh..maybe this aisle. no wait they’re in alphabetical order. Fuck I should’ve guessed it. Well I guess its kind of useful. I find the book.

Its got a bunch of planes on the cover. I wonder if the chipmunks flew the planes. I thumb through the book. Ah! heres a picture. the caption says its a Chipmunk T1 de Havilland Gipsy Major 1c. Its a fucking plane. Whereas the chipmunk? I squint harder. I bring it back to my desk. The whole fucking book is about planes. I close it in disgust. Here comes Mr. Vice Pricipal. I wave.

"You’re done with your re-test?" he asks. I smile and nod. He picks up my book. "Oh the chipmunks" he says thumbing through it.

"No I think its got the wrong title there are no chipmunks in there" I tell him. He flips to the cover and looks.

"No these are definitely chipmunk planes" He says putting it back down. I pick it up. What the fuck is he talking about.

The fucking plane is called a chipmunk? Oh fuck. Two pills were too many. He walks off leaving me with my book.
What a fucking joke this is.The bell rings I get up to walk out laughing to myself. Aw fuck I knew chipmunks couldn’t have fought in the war... I imagined them in little combat gear with toothpicks as swords. I was smiling as I passed Gerard in the hallway.

He sees me smiling and scowls at me. Oh fuck! Damn it Elle..you just keep making things worse.. Now he fucking thinks what..that I’m happy..back with Paul..damn it... Mikey better be able to fix this.. I thought as I headed out for lunch alone..

Either that..

or I better get use to eating alone.

I ran home for lunch and changed my clothes in record time. I guess the pills were speed. Fuck..why did I take two? I thought as I paced around my living room. And around... and around… and around…and around….

Fuck..Ive got to get out of here. I ran out the door and saw Ray half way up the block. He was walking alone towards Lia’s house slowly. I ran up to him.

"Hey!' I yelled. He nodded."Uh whereas Gee?" I asked. Fuck. I never call him that but Gerard just seemed like too long to say. I was so fucking hyper. The pills were kicking in now.. Yes two was two too many. Or is it one two many. Or is it too too many? Fuck. Ray is looking down at me.

"Whoa." Ray said grabbing my arms and steadying me. I then realized I was bouncing up and down. "Hey you’re all sorts of fucked up huh?" He asked. I nodded. a lot...

"Gee's still pissed at mee, huh?" I ask. "Hey that rhymes..Gee and mee." I tell him. "And they both have two EEs." I proclaim.

"No me has one." Ray says shaking his head.

"Yeah but I didn’t say you." I say poking Ray in the chest. "Ray doesn’t have an E- It has an A."

"I know." Ray says "But you said me and me has one E."

"Show me." I ask.

He grabs me again. "Hey stop fucking bouncing already." He says.I stop and look at him.

"So uh you gonna show me?" I ask

"Show you what?" He asks me back

"You’re letter E silly!" I exclaim. "you said 'me has one E..where is it?"

He rolls his eyes. "You arent going back to school like that are you?" He asked.

"Aaah. No -I guess not." I said as we walked towards Lia’s door. Ray knocked. No one answered. I rang the bell. And rang the bell. And rang the bell. And rang the bell. Finally Ray grabbed my hand.

"She’s not home!" He cried out. "Damn stop bouncing you’re like a fucking rabbit!" He yelled grabbing me again.

"Rabbits live in holes." I say "And chipmunks live in trees!" I tell him. He raises one eyebrow at me."No its true!" I exclaim. "Mikey told me and I tried to look it up but I couldn’t find the book and then Mr. whatshisname came in and said chipmunks are really planes and did you know that squirrels will bite if you reach into their nest which really isn’t like a birds nest cause its inside the tree-I didn’t know that and Paul reached in one " I said all in one breath.

Ray just nodded " Uh yeah Mikey told me about that." He said laughing.

"hey you wanna ditch with me?" I asked him. He didn’t answer. "Come on Ray. I’ve gotta find a way to make Gee not be so pissed anymore. I think I’m gonna go see Jay..." I said. Ray just looked at me. "okay then-Bye" I said walking away.

"Whoa whoa whoa" Ray said coming up behind me.

"Oooh good you’re coming!" I say taking his arm.

"Wait Elle..how is going out with another guy gonna make Gerard LESS pissed at you?" He asked.

"Uh cause I’m gonna trade Jay a sheet of Lia’s acid for the fucking guitar you want and then trade it with you for the cd Gerard wants and then he'll be so fucking happy he'll forget all about everything and things will be all rainbows and flowers and teddy bears! " I sing out.

Ray stopped walking. "Wait you’re gonna trade me a guitar for the cd?" He shakes his head.

"What no good?" I ask "Jesus Christ Ray what the fuck do want for it?" I stammer. Rays eyes lit up.

"No thats cool." He said smiling.

"Okay then lets go" I said and started running down the street.

Ray called out after me. "Wait I'll drive!" Drive? I guess so. I mean I could’ve ran the whole way and I was so fucking hyper I probably would’ve. If Ray didn’t drag me into my car.

"Oh Ray" I said on the ways to Jays."Hey me and Ray are on our way to Jays- way to Jay with Ray" I sing out.

"Very good Elle." Ray was driving He turned up the radio and was trying to drone out my chatter.

"Hey guess what letter I’m thinking of" I say loudly.

"Uh A?" he asks sarcastically.

"Fuck you" I say. How the hell did he know that. "Hey do you think this will work." I asked. Ray just shrugged.

Oh man..

This just had to work..

didn’t it?
