same boring place, where people went and nearly killed themselves, so they could have a certificate at the end. It was less than a week after arriving that I ran into John. He was starting his second year and at first he looked surprised to see me, but when he realized that I wasn’t pissed at him, he quickly started to worm his way back into my life.
At first I was hesitant to let him back in. I’d starting smoking weed again, but that didn’t mean that I wanted to fall back into old habits entirely. He persisted though and, before long I found myself sitting on his couch and smoking pot like the good old days, before I had even given James a second thought.
It wasn’t like the good old days though. We both knew that even though neither one of us was pointing it out. We weren’t together anymore, and I’d made it clear from the start that it wouldn’t be happening. I still wasn’t over James and I couldn’t think about being with anybody else, never mind somebody who did what they did and then left me to take the fall. I didn’t have anybody else though, and just having a friend, even if they were a shabby one, was better than nothing.
“I’m going to need you to do me a favour.” John said, as he passed the joint over to me and let out the smoke he was holding in his lungs.
“Oh yeah?” I asked suspiciously, as I started to smoke.
“I need you to look after some stuff at yours for me for a bit.” John said, as though it was no big deal.
“Are you for real?” I asked in disbelief.
“What d’ya mean?” John asked looking confused at my reaction.
“You realized that’s what got me kicked out of college last year right? You realized that’s what nearly drove my family apart right? You realize that’s what I took the fall for, so you wouldn’t have to right? I mean you do actually remember that?” I said, as though he might have been stupid enough to forget.
“Obviously I remember.” John said, as he grunted in anger at being mocked.
“Well then you should know that I’m not going to be that stupid twice.” I said, as I sat back and took another pull of the joint.
“Okay let me rephrase myself.” John said, as he sat forward and pulled the joint from the hands. “I’m going to be keeping some stuff at yours for a while. Cheers for being a pal.” He said and then took drag himself.
“Go to hell.” I said, as I stood up and pushed back the head spin. As soon, as the room had slowed to a stop, I walked out of the room without turning back. I couldn’t believe that he really thought I’d agree to that. I couldn’t believe that he thought I was that stupid. I couldn’t believe that I had almost let him use me like that again.
When I got back to my room, I lay down and went to sleep. I needed to get the pot out of my system so that I could think clearly about what John had just asked. I obviously wasn’t going to say yes, but that didn’t mean he would accept me saying no. I’d seen John lose his temper before, and it wasn’t pretty, but I had never been on the receiving end of it at least that was until now.
I didn’t wake until the next. The sun blared in through the window, as I’d forgotten to close the curtains and it felt almost, as though my eyes were burning in its light. It took a little while for my eyes to adjust properly, but when they did, I sat up and looked around the room. I tried to keep the thoughts of the night before from my mind, as I started to wake up, but they kept drifting back, as though they knew they were more important than all the rest.
When I finally pulled myself out of bed, I looked at the little lock, which was supposed to keep intruders out. It didn’t look like much and I couldn’t help, but feel, as though if you really wanted to, then it wouldn’t be that hard to break one. I looked at it for a moment longer and then went to get showered for the day.
My new college course had more lessons than my old one, but I was enjoying them a
