99.99% Bull - Mel Afoa

He is walking towards his girlfriend's locker with small, purple violets in his hands.

He walks slowly, the smile on his face bright, like the sun radiating through the cracked windows. The wind is dancing alongside him as he walks, weaving through the school corridors with a light tingle. His bag is lightly swinging beside him, its contents all jumbled up. He glides through the crowded corridors as if dancing with the wind, drowning out the sounds of the cheerful students around him.

He stops in front of her locker, and places the beautiful flowers and places it in the small gapped lines on it. With that, her places a small note he wrote, and with a small smile, he walks away.

His green eyes follow the school crowd. There are couples everywhere- girls and boys holding hands, and some close to each other than their fathers would allow. He smiles as his football mates greet him, beads of perspiration trickling down their faces from the rough game of practice. He talks to them for a bit as they ask how his day is going, before slowly making his way outside for a small break from everything. It is recess, and so he expects many students to be out and about in the grounds. He walks past many friendship groups, more than enough people greeting him and shouting their hellos across the ground floors. His small smile grows bigger when he sees his best mate getting a lecture from a teacher for littering. As his best friend brown pupils meet his green, he winks and pulls a face before laughing. He gets a rude gesture and a wink in return. He finishes his laugh as he walks the cold ground, winter nearly overriding the last Autumn days. The sun is up, shining on the school and the nature around them as the students sit and have lunch.

He decides to sit behind the library, and so he walks in that direction. As he passes the school Food Technology rooms, he smells the delightful aroma of choc chip cookies. As if by coincidence, a mate of his from a Year below pops out and greets him, offering mouth-watering cookies with icecream. He smirks before gladly accepting the treat, and walks on eating. The wind blows on his golden locks, his green eyes the same shade as the leaves on the trees. He arrives at the back of the library, where junior students are banned from entering. Though seniors are permitted, he knows most seniors won't come and evade his privacy, as no one usually goes to the library in the first place. It is here that he finds a comforting sanctuary, sitting and relaxing on his own. The cameras of the school are evident, and one of the three face his direction. The cameras have been set up by his own undercover Chief policeman brother Jordan, to catch a student selling drugs to juniors. Today is the day his brother said, would be the bust up. Apparently it was a Year 12 student, one of his own.

He looks at the sky. He knows that by relaxing, he can think about what has been happening to his life, and what its like having to dedicate himself to someone now that love has touched his doorstep.

It's two minutes that he has been lying down on the library grass that he hears muffled voices behind the library back. He knows they cannot see him, as he is hidden behind a few overgrown bushes. He decides to see who it is, undercover style. Slowly, he creeps behind the bushes and peers into the corner of library. He still cannot see, but immedietly, he hears the muffled voices getting louder, an argument in the air. He can hear a girl sobbing softly, and a boy screaming at her. He can hear he screaming back with dignity. He is about to walk and ask the boy to leave when he stops mid-step.

" I told you to get information on him", the boy screams. Behind the bushes, he listens intently, and freezes slightly when he hears the name Diana.

" I can't", the girl says fearfully, and he knows that it is the girl he picked violets for. His so called True Love.

" I knew it. I knew you couldn't handle this job. All you needed to do was flirt with him and see where he keeps his money. Told you to go to his house and find valuables. And all you got is a stupid note of him saying he loves you", the boy replies, the anger in his voice barely contained.

"Well he said he just got to know me, and then after that I'll pull a few moves on him", Diana replies. "Everyone loves him though. So if I hurt him, my reputation is gone down the drain".

" Sleep with him then. That way people will know you are serious. Come on Diana, you've been my friend for ages, You should know important it is for us to get money so we could pay back the pot dealers. We are in debt", the boy says softly, and the other boy behind the bushes stares into the sky with anger and fear.

" Already did. He was a virgin at that, ha!I just hope using a banana flavoured condom was worth it. You know I dislike bananas like I dislike my parents", Diana replies, with a hint of despair in her voice.

He is slowly about to hyperventilate, the hairs on his skin standing from the shock and sudden coldness in the air. He slowly moves away from the corner, and back to the spot of his sanctuary. He picks up his bag before sprinting off towards the schoo grounds.

A million thoughts run through his head simultaniously. He wonders what he should do now. He knows it would be suicide if he still holds on to her fake love. Then again, feelings for love does not evaporate quickly like rain drys up in a desert. For goodness sake, he just found out seconds ago! He walks on, pacing slightly, anger still boiling his heart, his soul ripping with every second. He knows that revenge will come in due time, and so now, he should steadily light the flame of revenge.
He goes to her locker, and still sees the purple flowers with the note. The flowers look dead to him, and so he plucks one of its stem and shreds it with a squeeze of his fist. He then throws it on the floor and stomps on it. He looks back at the note and with a small smirk, rushes off to a desk so he can write his real feelings.

```

She arrives back from a talk session with one of her closest mates. Her body hurts from the drugs, but she knows she can't let her body fail, especially in school. Her murky grey eyes look around for anyone. Its clear. She immedietly reaches into her bag and pulls out a bag of ice tablets. She immedietly pops one into her system and feels the drug run smoothly down to her veins. She knows shes doing wrong things, but drugs is like ice-cream, it can never be enough. She then walks through a door and then a crowded corridor, towards her locker, rolling her eyes when she sees purple flowers. She runs a hand through her black hair before reaching out for the disgusting flowers. A friend of hers suprisingly shows up and squeals delightfully when she spots the flowers. Her friend then turns away, gazing back at her with envy.

She rolls her eyes again when she sees the note. She expects it to be full of love words, and how having sex with her was like heaven. He mentioned to her once her thought that her excitement for bedding him was she was high on drugs since she was amazing in bed Ironically, she did have pot before sleeping with him, but what he didn't know wouldn't hurt him. She laughs evilly before opening the note. Her smile is immedietly frozen, and slowly the paper drops to the floor, symbolizing his heart, and her shock.

Diana,
You will be so proud of me when I tell you this.
I gave all my inheritance money to charity. I thought it would be a good idea to save other peoples needs instead of having money thrown away in useless things. I know I've talked about us buying a nice mansion and all, but I think it would be better if we lived in normal houses and have a normal lifestyle. I've also found out some dude from our school owes money to a drug dealer. Funny baby, beause the boy is about to get arrested today since the drug dealer is my undercover police brother Jordan. Apparently he has an accomplice. He or she will go jail too. Lol. Anyways sorry I couldn't see you at lunch, I was busy listening to the dude in person and some girl with your name plot against a guy. They can;t run though, my brother set up cameras everywhere. It was funny sitting behind the bushes behind the library. I recorded it all for you to hear, so we can laugh about it at home. She mentions a banana flavoured condom. I loved our moment. The girl is just 99.99% bull. She sounds like you.

Anyways, this is goodbye baby. Catch you later,

Mixon
