The next day Brian didn't go to school. I didn't really care, it was an improvement. I also got to talk with Rebecca again. It was during our lunch break and we were sitting under a tree together a block down from the school. It was peaceful, and not many cars went by so it was silent, too.
"I told you I would mess up his face," I said, breaking the silence.
"I don't really care, I broke up with him before the fight."
I was both surprised and happy. Surprised because I didn't see it coming, and happy because she was finally done once and for all with that idiot. Finally she could go looking for a decent boyfriend. I would probably had asked her to prom right now if it wasn't for the fact that I was with Britney now. Not that it was bad, I liked being with Britney... well it was just last night, but it had promise.
"So where did you escape to last night? I didn't see you," she asked.
"Oh, I went to a bar with Britney Mayers..." I said casually.
"Oh yeah, and what did you do there?" she asked again. What is up with her and all of these questions? I felt like I was on Are you smarter than a fifth grader (I hated that show. Let's see them answer 12th grade math).
"We... um... made out a little," I said.
She gave me a surprised look. "You and Britney Mayers?" she said, laughing.
"What? I'm a very desirable date now. Everybody wants to get with Iceman."
She laughed, hit me with her bag, and we started walking away back towards school again.
