I wake up in a daze after staying up late to finish that marathon with Toby. I realize I don't have much time to get ready for school so jump out of bed and speedrun my morning (I probably should have done the marathon not on a school night). I rush to put my clothes on and slide into the bathroom to quickly splash water on my face and I barely have enough time to brush all my teeth.
My mum has already left for work so I quickly grab a granola bar for breakfast. I look over at the clock on the wall in the kitchen, SHIT, I HAVE 3 MINUTES??! I scoop up my bag and run out the door, I do not think I locked it...
I get in my car and (maybe) drive a little over the speed limit to school. I actually get there just in time, maybe a few minutes late but that's normal for me. I walk into my class, everyone sitting down already and when I enter all their heads turn to me, fantastic. I see Maya and Andy shake their head at me.
I'm quite close to laughing looking at their reactions, "Miss Cruz, glad you can make it on time again, take a seat please" Mr. Venry says.
I quickly take a seat and put my bag on the floor. While I'm turned around it feels like someone is looking at me. I look up and quickly look around and my eyes meet James', the guy from ASDA. I see him look back at Mr. Venry quick, weird but whatever. I take out my textbook and paper, I try keeping my eyelids open while listening to the math lesson and this is probably the hardest thing I've ever done.
I hear the bell ring for lunch and I start packing up my backpack. I look up to Maya and Andy motions to them to go and I'd meet up with them after I'm done. Right before I could zip up my bag, I hear someone clear their throat and I look on my right and I see James standing there, I look at him with a blank stare. I'm slightly panicked, he doesn't usually talk to me after class, we usually only talk if we're in a group project or if he needs help with the homework.
"Hey Bea" he says.
"Hey James, what's up?" I reply while I zip up my bag.
"I was just wondering since the exam is coming soon if I could get your number? Ya know, so I can dial whenever in need and you ever need help for anything other than math then I got you!" he explains.
"Oh, yeah for sure" I answer.
I take his phone and put in my number. I guess he genuinely wants us to help each other out with school work. Either way, I don't care much. Even though I hate feeling used, when I help James with homework it doesn't feel like he's using me because I know he's really trying and wants to do well.
"Alright, perfect! Ring you up sometime soon, I'm having some troubles with derivatives" he says.
"Yeah for sure, ring me anytime you need help, maybe you can help me with starting my ancient history essay?" I ask.
"You got it Bea, see ya later" he salutes with his middle and pointer and heads out the door.
I guess more people to mooch work off of, score. I go out the door to meet up with Maya and Andy for lunch.
"Bea...WHAT WAS THAT??" Maya appears in front of me while I'm not even 1 foot out the classroom door.
"What was what? You mean James?" I ask, still startled that they were waiting just outside the door.
I see Andy snickering, "yOu MeAn JaMeS? Yes, I mean James! We may or may not have been listening in a little...but he asked for your number??" Maya says still shocked.
"Yeah, asked for my number for math purposes, like how Andy uses you for math" I look over to Andy while he looks confused as always.
"Well still, he asked you for your number" Maya says with her arms crossed and her eyebrows raised.
"Whatever, let's go you shits" I roll my eyes and we laugh. I feel my face getting warm. Why? Maybe I'm coming down with something.
