Don't judge a book by its cover

Chapter 2

I had science next with Mr.C. His last name is too long and complicated to pronounce so we just call him Mr.C. He's a nice teacher, always willing to help us in any way possible, but he also wants us to be independent. I just wish he made learning a bit more creative. Anyways, recently Mr.C moved me to the front next to a boy named Peter. Guess who just happens to be two seats behind me?
You're right.
My crush.
He will never notice me, he just thinks of me as a crazy Taylor swift, crime shows obsessed lab partner. I think he has a crush on his best friend though, but I'm not going to say her name because I strongly dislike her. Oh I forgot to mention, his name is Kevin.
Anyways, I was staring off into space, thinking about the no more organisation going on, my past, and Kevin. Science class is always the hardest class because it's right before lunch and I'm starving. Not that I could eat much anyways, I mean look at me, covered in layers of fat. I looked behind me to find Chris looking right back at me, smiling. I smile back weakly because I didn't have much energy.
"Hey Sarah"
"Hey Chris, I like your new haircut"
"Thanks"
Then he starting singing the lyrics to a song that I prefer not to repeat. I started gigging and soon putting my hands over my mouth to keep it quiet. Kevin gave me strange looks, I just closed my eyes and focused on not bursting out laughing.
BRIIIIIIIIIING!
Lunch time, FINALLY!
I ran all the way to the lunchroom, hoping to get there within the first minute of lunch, or else I would be stuck in that line forever. Luckily I made it there with just a few people ahead of me.
"What would you like sweetie?"
I looked up to see the cafeteria lady talking to me.
"Um could I have a poutine please?"
I grabbed my lunch and headed downstairs to the elevator. That was where Cassie, Ally and I ate lunch. Sometimes other friends would join us but it was consistently us three. I took a left and found them sitting in front of the elevator, as usual. Tina and Jeera were sitting with us today. I greeted them as I walked to my usual seat.
"Hey guys"
"Hi" they say in unison.
As usual, Cassie is telling us about her crush, and he just happens to walk by where we sit everyday. Tina was listening to music, Jeera was on her phone, and Ally and I were laughing with Cassie at stupid pictures of us. We couldn't stop laughing, we were holding our stomach in wonderful pain.
"I think I feel a six pack coming on" said Ally
We fell back in waves of laughter. Then we started to eat our lunches. I picked at my fries, taking a few sips of my water. Thankfully no one noticed anything it thought anything of it. We got up and threw our garbage away. I know it's bad to waste food I'm barely going to eat it, but I was hungry, at the same time I knew I couldn't eat too much or I would get fatter.
I excused myself and told them I would be back in about 10 minutes. I went to room 162 to sign up. I walked in and gasped. There was only one person there.
"Did I miss the meeting? I'm so sorry I thought it was at 12:00"
That one person that was in there turned out to be my English teacher, Ms.Rossi.
"No, you're the only one who showed up. Even the kids doing the announcements didn't come. It won't make much of a difference if it's one person, but if you want you can still join."
I thought about it
"Sure, why not?"
"Okay then, you're in charge of practically everything but you can come to me if you need help or just want to run things by me"
I nodded and left the room
I went back to the elevator, Ally and Cassie could see I'm upset. They tried to ask me why, and when I told them and asked them to join, they were already in 7 clubs, the maximum amount of clubs you're allowed to join. I smiled a little and told them it was okay.
Ally and Cassie walked me to my locker, I grabbed my books and walked upstairs with them. We dropped Ally off at her science class, me and Cassie walked, dreadfully may I add, to math class. It's not that I hate math, I hate my teacher. I can be pretty good at math if I have a patient, kind, and explanatory teacher. Unfortunately our teacher was neither of those. Cassie and I took our usual seats at the back together. We had a nice group around us that we worked with. Jennifer, Waheel, Adam, Rhys, and Delinah. Anyways, after about an hour and sixteen minutes of cringing, crying, moaning, and bring tortured, we were finally let out of class. Let me tell you, I never run as fast as I do when math class ends, not even in gym.
Business and technology. I love this class. I'm surrounded by some of my closest friends, Amanda, Lauren, Sidney, Natasha and Hillary. Lauren and Amanda usually just fight about, well everything, but they're great friends. Me and Sidney jam out to Taylor Swift and Hunter Hayes songs. Natasha and Hillary sit a bit further away, but we still talk and do the craziest things together. Lauren usually just attacks me with tight bear hugs, and I mean TIGHT! Amanda likes to tease me more, which is totally fine because I do it right back.
Anyways, my btt (business and Technology) teacher is awesome. He explains assignments really well and let's us play music. He even makes Taylor Swift puns sometimes! You can't get better than that. After btt, it was home time. I take the bus with Ally, Hillary and Rihana, but sometimes Hillary has curling practice so I just go with Ally usually. We get off the bus and I wave goodbye as she gets on a different bus. It only takes me one bus to get home. I was walking to my house when heart attack by Demi came on.
'Damn it I need to delete this song!' I thought. It brought too many bad memories, I don't know why. I just couldn't help crying right there and then. I slumped down a tree and just kept on hitting my head on it. I know it seems like I have a great life, I laugh a lot, make a lot of friends, but you can't judge a book by its cover. You have to read it to understand it. Here's my story.

I left you guys on a cliffhanger I know! I thought that this chapter should be kind of leading up to the big chapter. I hope you guys enjoy, I'm working really hard on this. It incorporates pieces of my life, fanfic, law and order svu episodes, and true stories from other places. I think this is going to be one hell of a ride, and I'd be really happy if you joined in.
Lots of love 💖
