TWIST

it's rather -well, i don't know what it's rather like. it's not so
much funny, than depressing. it's not so much cute, than-

I know, I know. it's like high school, but with everyone I hated and
all the kids I never talked to. GCHS is the best way to describe it.
There is no campus. It’s all housed in one building, just like high
school. No one really lives there, just like high school. We all
drive there, park our cars, walk a mile and a half to the one and
only door anyone goes in through... we go to class and drive home.
We even hang out in-between classes. Some of us have hour breaks,
others have 20 minutes. 8, 9am rolls around and the flood of
red-eyed, half-asleep, burnt-out kids all walk towards that one
door. some of them still carry their backpacks on one shoulder.
because... it's cool.
you sit in class with kids you hate. you sit there looking out the
window, but the only view you have is that of the cafeteria which is
filled with more kids you never talk to. but as much as you wish you
could pull the trigger of the gun that's been pressed against your
temple since you parked the car, you can't help but smile. how many
will be here, 3 years from now? who will be the ones sitting in the
back, attending class with your freshman brother? i smile, one of
those million dollar smiles, that only i can see. i'm not sure if
you remember him, but... mike d. they used to call him. mike
desionaro (like the mustard, djuan-fuck me i can not spell that...
let's move on) ANYWAY -he's in my COM 110 class and when ever he's
called on, somehow he works into his answer, that he's in a band and
he wants to be a dj on wgcc and that is band isn't mainstream
they're "progressive" as he calls them. i think their band is called
neidam nori or some other heavy metal band name spelled backwards...
mike d. if one thing makes me wanna get the fuck out of here, it's
him. him and his goddamn band neidam nori.
