THE MOVATHON đđ
"Hey you! I'm Garrison Genkins, I'm here to see my Dad please!" I insist... Well I didn't mean to make a scene, but I had to confirm the rumors I've been hearing about me moving, again.
It all started this morning when Dad dropped me off at school, I found it pretty weird and was a bit suspicious, but then, I was glad my dad was finally learning to spend a bit more time with me.
I entered the hallway busting with Joy and going off to class, I noticed my Dad entered the Principal's office, I didn't actually care, so I didn't ask questions, I thought he probably wanted to make more donations to my school.
The bell rings for recess, I race down to my locker to put in the books I wouldn't be needing for the next period after recess. "Poor Garry, I heard he's gonna move this Saturday and he'll have to transfer to another school, again..." A girl from across my locker whispered to her friend, but of course I could hear them clearly.. then it hits me 'What?! these gossips and their horrible rumors again!' I think angrily.
I slam my locker and match straight to the cafeteria. I order a hamburger with a meatprise loaf and yogurt.. I know I know my stomach is very flexible don't blame me; making it to my table, I see my friends wearing a horrified and seemingly sad face, I thought it was my food. Honestly I've never seen them like that ever, I thought I was the one always mostly cranky?!
"Hey guys!!! why the sad faces?" I ask
"What kind of question is that?! What do you expect your friends to do when they suddenly find out you are moving!" Matthew bursts out
"Wow, calm down ____"
"Don't you dare tell him to calm down!" Alessia interrupts angrily
"Alessia... guys..." I say calmly "What's wrong? And what's all this I'm hearing about moving? Come on, I'm sure it's just a stupid rumour."
Ariel sighs
"Hey I'm not some whiz of sighs but I definitely think that wasn't a sigh of relief Ariel" I say
"You're right Garry, it's not..." she pauses "... I-I-I-I uh-uhm, Garry, I don't think it's a rumour, Venelope.. 'lessia's cousin overheard your Dad speaking to the Principal about it ___"
"Ven? come on guys! You know that girl gossips and lies about almost everything, I don't think this is an exception." I interrupt
"Hey watch your mouth Garrison, I believe her!" Alessia yells.
Wow! why is everyone in soar mood today, or is this some sick joke. Ha! it must be.
"Very funny guys, you really got me there, nice prank!" I say laughing so hard nearly choking on my meal.
"So you think it's a joke, huhn?!" Lewis asks calmly "I just hope my sis hasn't heard" He add
"Are you kidding?! Dude this is high school and your sis is a 'popular kid', I'd be surprised if she hasn't heard" Matthew says
"Is that what you guys care about right now?! Who cares about Trish, no one that's who! Come on Alessia let's go..." Ariel says packing up,
"Wait! Ariel don't go..." I say trailing off not knowing what else to say,
"I wish I could say the same Garrison, I thought maybe you could _____"
The bell cuts in before Ariel is able to finish saying whatever she wanted to say. She rushes out with 'lessia, so does the rest of my friends. I'm sitting in a deserted cafeteria before I could say 'flipping rabbits'. I carry my tray back to the counter and I buy a chocolate energy bar.
Grabbing it swiftly I run out into the grave yard like hallway up to my locker,take my period books and rush into home room.
As I step in, I notice something weird, everyone sushed and started glaring in my direction. it was like a sting. Ouch! This must have been what Courtney felt like when I told her she stunk soo loudly in first grade and everyone started laughing.
"Oh dear, Garry have your seat" Miss Lucy says.
I gotta say home room was getting pretty awkward for me, everyone was acting weird, including Miss Lucy, home room teacher. She'd ask a general question and somehow later bring it all back to me, plus she was uncomfortably nicer than ever.
After what seemed like forever, school is over for the day.
Phew! This bizzare dream is dunzo.
Well, yeah it wasn't.
Trish and her corky entourage match towards me, I notice Trish is tots not smiling.
"You i***t!" She yells on the top of her lungs and pushes me against my locker.
"Get off Trish! What's your problem?!"
"What's my problem? My problem is that you are leaving and you didn't care to inform me! I'm girlfriend Garry and you don't think I deserve to it before anyone else? Urghh! We're done,alright! I can't date you anymore" She says then storms out with the whole school watching
I didn't bother to interrupt her drama, I mean she is such a drama queen, a very proud one too.
I love the fact that she broke up with me anyway. Infact it's the only good thing that happened as a result of the rumours.
I go to the waiting area, spot my driver and get into the car.
"Hello Garry! How are you doing?" Franklin my driver says as cheerful as always.
"I'm good Frank" I smile in response. "Yo Frank, can you do a lil' favour for me?"
"Sure, you're my boss" He laughs
"Haha Frank.." I say sarcastically "Just take me to Dad's office"
"Alright..." Frank says as he makes a U-turn.
"Thanks Frank, I'll be back in a few" I say
"Okay, Garry" He says as he stops the car.
I get down from the car and that's how I find myself begging to see my own Dad in his own office like a crazy fan queueing hours just to get an autograph.
"We can't let you in sir, your Dad's really busy"
"What a big whoop! Of course, he's always busy!" I scream with so much anger in me.
I come out soo mad at my Dad.
"Drive Frank!!"
Franklin has that his usual questioning look on his face,
"I simply came here to ask Dad a question but I couldn't get in,""My friends and everyone at school say I'm moving and I just wanted to hear from Dad if it's just a rumour."
Frank's face changes into a half smile and a worried frown.
"Oh no Frank don't tell me it's true, we're moving again?" I almost sink
"Sadly, yes Garry, I'm so sorry" He mutters
"Oh ok..."
The ride home was a quiet one. I really appreciate the fact that Frank isn't a bother throughout the ride.
