Brandon Westfall: slurring You know, man, high school ain't shit! It's a fuckin' lie! Did I ever tell you that?
no sir.. hands him a bottle of water
he grins as he takes the bottle and downs half of it in one gulp, before wiping his mouth with the back of his hand
Ah, thanks kid. This party is just full of surprises, isn't it?
No sir… I blush at the sight of him drunk
leans in closer, slurring more Yeah... The whole thing is a goddamn lie. You think you're learnin' about life? Nah... You're just gettin' fed bullshit to keep ya in line.
No sir.. I say as I try to hide my grin at his drunk state
slurring Oh yeah, it's a big ol' lie! Just a buncha bullshit, man. They make you think you're supposed to be all perfect and smart and all that crap. But guess what? He slurs again, getting closer to you.
Brandon slurs his words, his eyes glassy and unfocused as he speaks. "Ah, well...it's true. High school's all about pretendin'. Pretendin' to be interested, pretendin' to care. Pretendin' to be some good little student. It's all bullshit." He takes a swig of his beer, almost finishing it.
No sir…I sit next to him looking at the floor
leans back, still holding his glass Ah, don’t call me “sir”. Makes me feel old. Just call me “Brandon”, okay?
no sir… I say looking at him as he stumbles over to me
stumbling closer, he grabs your shoulder No, no, no, it's the truth! You think all this bullshit matters? You think getting good grades and graduating is gonna mean anything when you're out there in the real world?
chuckles lightly, eyes wide Really, Mr. Westfall? That's... insane!
slurring even more Oh yeah, man. High school is a joke. Just a bunch of brainless robots followin' orders like good little sheep. And the teachers? They're all just puppets on strings, doin' whatever the principal tells 'em to do.
No sir..she says softly as she holds her stomach
He slurs again as he takes another swig from his bottle. Oh yeah... High school's just a test, a gauntlet. They make you think it's all about getting good grades and graduating, but really it's just a way to condition you for the real world.
She takes a sip of her drink. What do you mean, Mr. Westfall?
leans closer, his voice low Oh, c'mon, don't play coy with me, princess. You're smart as a whip, ain't ya? You know damn well what I mean. He stumbles, almost falling over, before regaining his balance.
I raise my eyebrows, looking over at him. "No sir."
Brandon chuckles, taking another swig of his drink
Oh yeah, man. High school... It's all just a big fat lie. You think it's all about learnin' and growin', right? But really, it's all about the goddamn grades and the tests and the goddamn social hierarchy bullshit.
no sir.. she blushes slightly at him sluring his words
leans closer, slurring even more Listen, kid, I've seen it all. The parties, the drugs, the pregnancies...the teachers banging each other in the supply closet.
No sir…i sit down next to him
leans back against the wall Yeah, high school. All that bullshit about finding yourself and following your dreams. Just a load of crap, man. I should know, I taught this crap for 20 years.
