This one kid with crooked teeth named Leonard called me a “teacher’s pet” in the hallway after Bill’s class,
but I didn’t mind because I think he missed the point somewhere.
I ate lunch outside on a bench where we all used to smoke. After I ate my Ho-Ho, I lit up a cigarette,
and I was kind of hoping someone would ask me for one, but no one did.
When the last class was over, everyone was cheering and making plans with each other for the summer.
And everyone was clearing out their lockers by throwing their old papers and notes and books on the hallway floor.
When I got to my locker, I saw this skinny kid who had the locker next to me all year.
I had never really talked to him before. I cleared my throat and said, “Hey. My name is Charlie.”
All he said was, “I know.” Then, he closed his locker door and walked away.
So, I just opened my locker, put all my old papers and things in my backpack,
and walked over the debris of books and papers and notes in the hallway to the parking lot outside.
Then, I got on the bus. Then, I wrote this letter to you. I’m actually really glad that the school year is over.
