User blog:Cdc1998/A New Face at Bullworth: Part 4

It's been a few days since the New Year's party, and a few interesting things have happened. First off, after what happened, Charlie decided to stay at his Aunt's house for a few days. He didn't talk to any of us during that time. I guess the dude just needed some time to himself. Next, many of the Preps and Greasers got into a large brawl, or "rumble", out in one of the poorer areas of town, New Coventry. My clique tried to get me involved, although I bluntly refused. I have better things to do than get my teeth kicked in, because let's face it, I wouldn't be that great at taking down anyone.

Finally, it's the last week of break before we start our second semester. I think everyone is dreading having to go back to class, including myself. I hate my Trig class. I'd soon rather have detention than sit in that class. At least I would be doing something productive in detention!

As of right now, I'm in Michael & Charlie's dorm room. Boy, this place has become like a second home to me. Michael and Nicole are sitting on the couch, discussing when Nicole has to go back to her college. Bradi and Jimmy are watching Charlie, who is playing his guitar. He has a song playing from his laptop, and from what I can see he's pulled up the guitar tab for that song. I think the song is Crystalised by The xx, from what Charlie told me. I'm just sitting on the couch reading a rough draft of something Charlie wrote up. I got bored, so it seemed interesting.

"You know, Charlie, this is pretty good. If you keep up stuff like this you could get your work published," I say to Charlie. Charlie then screws up and lets out a sigh in frustration.

"You kinda screwed up my rhythm, Edgar, but thank you. It's one of my dreams, although it probably won't happen," Charlie replies.

"I'm bored. What's something fun we could do?" Jimmy asks.

"We could go camping," Bradi suggests.

"That has got to be one of the worst suggestions I've ever heard," Charlie states, bluntly.

"Charlie!" Nicole exclaims.

"What? I'm just being truthful," Charlie says.

"Then enlighten us, Professor Charles, on why it is such a terrible idea," Michael replies.

"First off, it's freezing outside! I'm not about to go out into the wilderness when it's freezing! My toes will fall off! Second, if there was a killer lurking out there, I'd be the first one to go out of all of you. Since I smoke, logic states stoners die first in a situation with a killer. Either way, I end up dead. No Bueno, man, no Bueno," Charlie explains, which causes Michael to chuckle.
