CONFRONTATION

The Spring break party was two days away now, and so far I had done everything she wanted to perfection. Unknown to her, part of me enjoyed getting to make a fool out of her.

It started on the Monday after our confrontation. We met as we normally did at the main entrance to the school, but instead of holding the door open for her like I normally did; I was to enter without her, letting the door slam before she could enter.

The first time it happened was staged, but I decided to take it a step further. Throughout the day whenever the opportunity presented itself, I let the door slam before she could enter, and by the time lunch had arrived I could tell she was livid.

My joy didn’t last long because at lunch she wanted me to proceed with part two of the plan. Here’s how it played out. As she chatted mindlessly about her gal pals and church functions; I stared numbly at the wall pretending not to care about anything she was telling me. That wasn’t so hard because its what I did ninety percent of the time.

But when she leaned in to initiate part two, I protested. How a pastor's girls could be so cold and calculating was making me second guess what church was even for, because she obviously didn’t hear the part about loving your enemies.

She hissed, “Stand up and shout something at me!”

I quipped, “Like what?”

She fired back, “I don’t know, maybe do you ever shut up?”

I swallowed hard and mumbled, “Why are you doing this Mindy?”

She diverted her eyes and retorted, “I didn’t; you did.”

It was what I needed to do what she wanted, but my response wasn’t what she was hoping for. I stood, shoving my lunch tray off the table, “Me, really; this is what you wanted. Well, I’m not playing this game anymore. Do whatever you want Mindy because it’s over.”

She clutched her chest, and her face washed with a shocked expression as I stormed away. I had to get away from this place. I ran to my locker, grabbing my backpack from inside and kicked the door as I exited the school.

When I made it to my truck, I threw my backpack to the passenger's side of the truck and pounded the steering wheel with my fists and shouting, “I can’t take this anymore.”

I let out a few sobs before stiffening my upper lip and shifting the truck into gear. I made a decision; today I was going to have as much fun with Derrick before Mindy told everyone the truth. I sped toward his house, hoping he would be home. He hadn’t started school yet, because it was so late in the year. His parents had decided to wait until next year.

I pulled into the driveway and stepped out. I saw his dad emerge from the garage, wiping grease from his hands from working on that tractor. He greeted me warmly, “Hey Timothy, what brings you out
