The Background Guy

  ver wonder who that one guy was? You know, the one that nobody has came up with a name yet. No you haven't? Well too bad your gonna learn about him. I'm usually somewhere during the big amazing parts it's just that nobody has seen me yet. Or at least I hope you guys haven't seen me and you arn't ignoring me. Its alright though, I mean I've seen some epic things from my perspective. Like that one time that Sunset Shimmer turned into a demon and turned most of the school into zombies.…actually I  still have nightmares about that. Speaking of witch I heard that Shimmer is trying to make up for it all.

  Still doesn't make me want be friends with her. I mean COME ON she leaked my browser history to the whole school! Now that's just evil, but it's a good thing she didn't find my godzilla fanfiction…forget I said that. Either way school almost about to end for the day, luckily we get a 4 day weekend. It's just for now though, I'm not sure what I want to do anyways.

  Why is school work so tough, I wish I could just look at the textbook and learn all of it's contents. Although Cheerilee is a good teacher, she is teaching us english. The only real problems I have about this class were the facts that my friends weren't here, yes I have friends. The other problem was that Cheerilee kept winking at me…I really hope my mind is just in the gutter.

*RRRIIIIIINNNNGGGG* Good god we have a loud bell! I keep thinking I'm going deaf every time I hear it. Oh well I thought at least I can go home for the vacation. I sit in a front seat near Cheerilee's desk, it doesn't help that she always stares at me. It takes me awhile to put my books in my bag, why do I have so many books? I put my I pod in my pocket and was about to start listening to my music; until Cheerilee walked over to me.

  I had to admit she had a good figure. Nice waist, decently sized breast, and green eyes. "I've noticed you were having some trouble with the test, I'd love to help you out" Cheerilee said as she swayed her hips ever so slightly.

  "I think I'm good ma'am, thank you anyways" I said trying to move out quickly.

  "You sure?" She said trying to convince me.

  "I'm sure thanks!" I answered now speed walking out the class and out into the school halls. Its not like I didn't want to stay, but I worried to much. What would happen if we got caught? She'd get fired, I might get expelled, those 3 ducebags would make fun of me, and my parents would be ashamed. Oh yeah those ducebags, they've been teasing me forever at this point. They're names were Hoops, Score, and Dump Bell. I hated Dump Bell the most, he always had that annoying smile on his face.

  Speak of the devil I thought as Dump Bell walked straight toward me. He pushed me up against a locker as he moved his hair from his eyes. "Where are you going shrimp!" He said as he got in my face. God his breath stank.

"I was leaving, thought that would be obvious" I said being a smartass.

  "Oh really? How bout I take you to pound town!?" Really? That was supposed to scare me? Oh thank christ! I thought as a saw the gym teacher call Dumb Bell of me. Even though I didn't like the coaches they usually kept the duce crew under control….duce crew…I'll keep that. I guess it's a good thing Hoops and Score weren't here. Its tough dealing with all three of them.

  As I walked down the stairs and moved to the parking area I saw a familiar person waiting. She was a little taller then me, was obviously very well fit, had white and purple hair, and she wore a large jacket. She was looking at her phone while tapping her boot. She looked up as I approached. "Hey dweeb" Gilda said to me.

  "Hey catbird, how you been?" I asked…I know it's an odd nickname but it works. She really likes cats and birds for some reason. I mean I can understand the love of cats, but birds?! I don't get that part.

  "I've been fine, do you mind if I crash at your place tonight?"

  "Sure, but can I ask why?"

  "Cause there's some loud ass construction on my street and I need some sleep"

  Have you ever had a friend who ended up hating you in high school for some reason? Me and Gilda are the complete opposite of that. I remember when she was the one making fun of me instead of the duce crew. Also to her credit she got pretty creative with her insults. Then during freshman year her and Rainbow Dash broke up. I was going to leave Gilda alone and not try and cheer her up but of course my conscience came up and was like "Hey man try and cheer her up"

"But she hates me" I said to my conscience.

  But you can't exactly argue with that part of your brain that wants to be nice. So to summarize it all, me and her became good friends and I'm pretty much the only one who she shows somewhat of a soft side. Now back to present day, after she explained to me the whole construction thing we ended up walking to her car.

  It was an old 1980 camaro, she painted it so it had black as the main color and purple for the stripes. I don't know that much about cars but I did know she took good care of it. The inside was taken care of as well, she wouldn't let anyone eat in it. That's how good it was. I got the the passenger's seat and sat my bag in front of me. Gilda got in, put her seat belt on, and started it up. I was always worried this car would get stolen because it was so nice and I didn't even own it.

  It took us a bit to get on the road. "You seem quite, something bothering you?" Gilda asked.

  "It's nothing. Dumb Bell was just trying to piss me of today"

  "I'm shocked you haven't kicked his ass yet" Gilda said chuckling a little.

  "Well he hasn't made me want to"

  "What would make you want to?"

  "Oh you know, if he started insulting people I like"

  "Oh how touching" Gilda said in a sarcastic voice. We kept talking until we finally got to my house. "Wheres your parents?"

  "Vacation" they really could use one. My dad has been stressed out over his job, to the point that his boss offered him a payed vacation. I do hope that they are having a good time. I think they went to Hawaii or something. We exited the car and started walking up the concrete stairs to my house. I put my hand in my pocket to try and find the key, it took a little while but I finally got it. I opened the door into my house, it wasn't a mansion or a rich man's house but it was still nice.

  I looked down to see an one of my very happy pets. He was obviously happy that I was home and was excited about Gilda being here too. I went over to the kitchen to give him a treat. I got him some left over steak from the night before and he seemed to love it.  Now let me ask you guys this, how many of you think he's a dog? If you do then your more in likely a person who wouldn't want 4 foot long lizard wandering your house.

  To be more specific he's a asian water monitor , named Bruce. He was a very tame monitor, probably cause we fed him enough. Still he seemed to be very social for a reptile, not that I mind. It was always soothing to let him sleep on my lap. Speaking of which, I decided to reach down and try to pick the big guy up. Bruce didn't usually mind, I was always nice to him.

  Soon I was able to sit down on the couch with Bruce on my lap and Gilda sitting next to me. She seemed to have went to a college football game. Notre dame vs Alabama, I didn't like either team so wouldn't care who would win. It wasn't that I didn't like football it's just that I didn't like the these two teams.

  I looked over to see Gilda about to take a nap. Maybe I should take one too. Seems that Bruce is getting tired as well. Alright I'll take a nap but not a long one.
