Unwanted

Chapter 11

      

    I was almost done with my sandwich when a girl....a much nicer looking girl came up to me.

"Can i help you?" I said I didn't mean to sound irritated, it was just that it had been a rough day.

"Oh uh me? I was just coming outside when i saw you and i was like ooooh that's the transfer student!" She said it fast with excitement in her voice but that still didn't stop me from thinking if "transfer student" was going to be my new name. I didn't want to sound rude so I just settled for a brief nod. Not to be rude...again but i kinda wished this girl would shove off, but by the look on her face that wasn't happening.

"Well i'm kinda eating..." That was my attempt at shooing her away, but like i said it wasn't happening. "Do you need something?" I asked again if I really just wanted to eat the rest of my sandwich and...well I didn't really have any other plans. My stubbornness took control like a pilot switching off auto drive. I was not letting this girl stay!

"Oh sorry I was just wondering if you're in Spanish club...are you?" She probably didn't know my language WAS Spanish but I was polite and said.

"Well Spanish kinda IS my language." I hoped she got the gist that I was from another country. She did!

"Ohhhh i get it you came from like a foreign country, right?" Or so I thought.

I had had enough of this conversation so I avoided the question and asked her name.

"Me? My name is Alyssa Hughes. I live like 10 minutes away from here. I didn't know why she bothered telling me how far she lived from the school...like i don't care! WOW i'm becoming a really mean person! I then let ME drive the plane.

"Hi Alyssa, from 10 minutes away, My name is Adriana Lopez! I hoped that was polite enough. It seemed to do the trick!

"OH MY GOSH! Are you related to Jenifer Lopez, the famous singer?! "She half squealed. What was this girl talking about?

"My mom's name is Josephina Lopez" I'd thought she'd gotten mixed up with my mom's name but nope! I was wrong again! How did I know? She still had that look of delight.

"Who is Jenifer Lopez?" I asked instead of saying what I REALLY wanted to say.

"You don't know who jenifer Lopez is?" she sounded stunned.

"Nope!" I really wished she would just get on with the point instead of rambling on and on about "You don't know Jenifer Lopez the famous singer?" Ugh this was going to be a LOT time cut out of lunch!

"Uh Jenifer Lopez is the greatest singer of all time...at least i think so." Ok so this Jenifer girl was a singer? A famous singer? I thought well I would have to be the one to explain I wasn't related to a FAMOUS SINGER!

"You must be mixed up, my mom is NOT a famous singer but she is a great cook!"

After I explained it a little more to Alyssa she FINALLY understood that my mom was...just my mom! By then it was time for school, I could hear the bell ringing. "Well see ya later alligator!" Alyssa yelled as she was making her way to the school doors. What the heck did she just say I thought? How was I an alligator?

After school i took the bus home. And guess what the first thing i did? I asked my dad who Jenifer Lopez was and the saying "See ya later Alligator" meant.
