Kenzie

"Walker," I called as I tried to catch up to him.  He turned his head and I saw a hint of a smile on his face.  "When do you want to work on the song for band?" I asked as I looked up to meet his eyes.  "During band.  When the band is warming up," he said.  I nodded and walked away to get to my next class.  

Just as I was about to open the door to get inside of the Spanish room I felt two hands press into my shoulders and push me forward.  The force caused me to stumble a little and slam into the wall to keep myself from falling.  I looked up to see exactly who I expected.

"Tyler damn it.  I hate you, you're a jerk" I said with an eye roll as I pushed myself off the wall.  "Sure you do Kenzie," he said with a stupid cocky smile.  I simply brushed past him and entered the Spanish room.  Marie was already seated at our table.  I smiled at her as I dropped my stuff and slid into the chair next to her.  

"Tyler's a dick and I hate him," I said as I turned around to glare at Tyler as he sat down behind us.  "Oh you're just mad because you're a klutz," he said with a matter-of-fact tone.  Marie stared at us with a confused expression.  "He pushed me and I fell into a wall," I said.  Marie smiled and began laughing, "Don't tell Indie. She'll hang him by his balls."  I laughed along until Ms.Kidd walked in and silenced us.

"Hola clase. Hoy vamos a trabajar con el presente progresive. Lo que es, cuando lo usamos, y como la usamos," she spoke (For my non-spanish speaking people: Hello class. Today we will be working with the present progressive. What it is, when we use it, and how to use it).  I started to get bored of the lesson-seeing as though I learned it last year-and started to zone out.  

My mind immediately turned to Walker.  He could be an ass sometimes, but he also is really sweet.  He's so damn attractive, and that's what makes me know I don't have a chance with him.  I'm just an awkward blurb of depression and anxiety.  He wouldn't want someone like that.  Then again, no one would.  I guess I'll have to get rid of my hopeless crush somehow because if I don't I'll just make life harder for myself.  

"Kenzie, seeing as though you find it acceptable to doze out during my class, why don't you tell us how to use the present progressive?" Ms.Kidd said.  "It's pretty simple actually.  It's the Spanish form of the 'ing' verbs we use in English.  Walking, talking, eating.  The ending for 'AR' verbs is 'ando' and for 'ER' and 'IR' verbs the ending is 'iendo.'  So you just take the 'AR' off of hablar and add the ending which makes it hablando." I said with a voice the told people it was esay and that i knew it well.  Ms.Kidd just nodded and turned back to the lesson and i returned to my thoughts.  

Marie was violently taking notes.  I kept my eyes focused on the bored but i wasn't actually paying attention.  I was off in a land where I actually controlled things.  Honestly, i like my world more than the real one.  Before I knew it the bell rung and we were released.  I grabbed my stuff and waited for Marie to finish packing her stuff up.  When she finished she stood and we walked out of the room, her asking me a ton of questions about the lesson.  Other than Indie and Anika, I was the one people turned to for Spanish help.  

"So 'AR' is 'ando' and 'ER' and 'IR' is 'iendo?" she asked and I nodded.  She nodded in return and smiled triumphantly.  "Anything else?" I asked as I noticed Walker by his locker.  I quickly looked at him the turned my focus back to Marie to see her shake her head.  

We continued walking and talking about random things, mainly bands.  When suddenly a hyper Indie had made an appearance.  

"A wild Indie has appeared from the tall grasses!" Marie and I shouted at the same time, causing all three of us to nearly double over in laughter.  The other students around us starred at us like we were insane, and we probably were.  

"Marie, where's Max hmm?" Indie asked causing Marie to blush and shrug.  Indie laughed as she started bunny hopping in front of us.  Marie and I just turned our heads and pretended to not notice her mental instability.  She seemed to not care what anyone thought of her at the moment which was weird but good to see.  She stopped outside the door of her and Marie's next class and I said bye as I continued my way to class.

I entered the room and there Walker was.  Sitting there with his stupid gorgeous face and sexy smile and damn it this is not going to be easy.
