The Heart Platter

Start of a big project

I enter class with smile on my face hoping that I have a elective with Polly. I really wanted more time with her. She's my best friend, but I want to be more. Her being here though, makes my heart burst.

When I receive my schedule I immediately go to Polly.

"What classes do you have for electives!" I ask

"French and art"
-Polly

"I have art and band, what block do you have art?"
-Lizzy/me

"4th, do you?"
-polly

"No 3rd"
-Lizzy

I'm disappointed that we only have 4 classes together and lunch. At least we can walk to the hall together.

We get to English and I sit with my group. Then Polly pulls me aside, I get flustered.

"I didn't do the reading this week, can you help me out?"
-polly

"Of course, just read extra this weekend"
-Lizzy

I reassure her and give a smile. This worked out perfectly, I get to lead and Polly sees me as a reliable friend. So I lead the discussion of this week's chapter. I make sure everyone understood what we read and if anyone had anything to add.

We then walk to electives with Polly.

"Wanna go the long way?"
-Polly

"Of course I love walking around the school"
-Lizzy

We just walk together in the empty hall, I stare into her eyes. I wonder what she's thinking. We get to the point where we have to part. I wave and she waves back.

I go to sit down and realize that Richard sits in front of me. I'm happy I have a friend in the class.

"Hey Richard!"
-Lizzy

"Hey Lizzy, didn't know you had art?"
-Richard

"Yeah I do, I cant believe we sit right next to each other"
-Lizzy

"Yeah now I have someone to talk to"
Richard

After he said that the class began and we got started working on art.

The next day at school

Today I was a car rider and I was hoping that Polly would sit next to me when she came in. I waited for a long time for her to come in. When I look over I see that she already walked in. I get a sad feeling that she didn't sit with me.

We get to class and I ask her why she didn't sit with me.

"I just didn't see you, I also like being alone"
-Polly

I sit there in shock, but decide to drop the subject.

We get to English and Polly still hasn't read the book at all. I lead the meeting and set a time to finish the book. I then look at Polly who was talking to Sam. They were laughing and talking about the LGBT community. Then class ends.

I go to walk with Polly and we barely even talked. I still couldn't understand why she didn't read at all. I walk to my class and she goes to hers.

"Hey Lizzy"
-Richard

"Oh hey"
-Lizzy

"Are you ready for art?"
-Richard

"Heh Yeah"
-Lizzy

I felt better knowing I had a friend in art. Richard was a quiet guy but overall friendly. We talked during art and I forgot about what Polly did or didn't do. Then class was over and I went to band.

I got in my car and started playing my music. I started jamming out with my mom.

"Mom, I think Polly has crush on Sam."
-Lizzy

"Oh you do? Whys that?"
-My Mom

" its just they've been spending so much time together and they seem to laugh a lot."
-Lizzy

"Well all you can do is support her"
-Mom

"You're right, love you mom"
Lizzy

"Love you too"
Mom
