Losing My Marbles

Who knew that marbles could create so much trouble? Today during my last class before meeting my father outside to go home, a bunch of my classmates decided to play a prank on my teacher by rolling marbles on the floor all at the exact same time. I didn't have any part in it, I wasn't asked to play of course, but my teacher made me stay with the rest of the class for detention. My dad whipped me real bad....but anyways, I was sitting in my desk next to Cal...I knew him of course, who didn't? but he'd never noticed me before...not until I whispered under my breath what my father would do to me later. Then, something amazing happened, he talked to me. Me. Someone actually talked to me...and not just someone...but CAL. He's a real nice boy Cal, I wonder if he's the one who could save me...I can't become like Helga....
Ella Fitzgerald used to get me through the rough days...but now...she's not even enough. though one of her song does remind me of Cal.
