Overprotective

Black eye Part: one

"Julie what happened to you!" I yell slightly louder than I intended.
"Alyson, Its just a black eye" She says back.
"Just a black eye!" I begin. "Jack has been bullying you for a year if you dont do something I'm doing it for you."
"Its cute that you try to protect me me and all, but your like a foot shorter that me, you know?"
I fluster a bit at the comment.
"Hey! I'm not that short." I say moving my glance to the floor.
"Yeah, yeah, c'mon stop moping we have to go to class now." Julie says mocking me.
"I'm not moping." I say walking towards my next class.
"Well ill be fine, cutie." She walks away.
I feel my face turn red. I had liked her for a little while now. She doesn't know but cutie is her nickname she made for me (To annoy me). At the time I didn't have a crush on her so I didn't mind, but now..I cant help my self from blushing.

          I make to my next class just before the bell. Math the one class I despised. I'm terrible at numbers. Usually Julie helps me with my homework.
"Almost late I see, Alyson" My teacher Ms. Jonson says.
I take my seat. Ms. Jonson starts her boring lesson as I sit there in pain.
Her class felt like torture.
A few minutes go by.
"Ms. Jonson can I go to the bathroom?" I ask. She only lets go us go 3 times a term but this was just too hard to get through.
"Yes keep in mind, only one left."
I grab the pass next to the door and make my way as slow as I can to the bathroom. I see Julia walk out of nurses office.
"I could have gone with you, You know?"
Julia jumps a bit as if I scared her.
"Oh shush" She says.

          We chatted for a bit before I went back to my class. I didn't even use the restroom.
"You took quite a bit of time Ms. Rose for going to the bathroom," Ms. Jonson says. "Class is almost over now."
"Sorry" I say not knowing what to tell her. I take my seat embarrassed.
I open my computer and start the worksheet. I didn't really understand anything so I just acted like I was doing something. After a few minutes the bell rings.
Finally freedom.
I still have three more classes but they were easy. LA, art and science. Sadly I only had science with Julia. I had a few with her earlier in the day but still.
The next two classes were absolute drag but (somehow) I managed to get by.


          I make it to my science class right before the bell rings. Unlike Ms. Jonson, Mr. Joe is really nice and chill. Joe technically isn't his last name but he still wanted us to call him that. I think he's cool.
"Good afternoon class," He starts his lesson as I take my seat. "Since its a Friday I thought we would have less work than usual."
His lessons were already pretty light work wise but it was still nice to have a break.
"No warmup today or notes, just work on things you have for this class or others, Think of todays class as ELT" He says.
ELT stands for extended learning time. Its just time to do missing work in school. It supposed to help because unlike if you were at home you can talk to the teachers and get help on assignments.
"You may start" My teacher says. Almost instantly I hear kids unzip their bags to pull out papers and such. I on the other hand pull out my computer.
Julie, who sits next to me, turns towards me.
"Ooo what story are you going to work on?" She asks excitedly.
Writing has always been a hobby of mine and Julie loves to read them.
"I'm not sure yet." I say slightly nervous from the attention. Julie leans in closer to my computer to watch my screen as I open my gogle drive. (not a typo)


          Forty five minutes go by as I type away at my keyboard making numerous mistakes. Over the past few minutes Julie had gotten tired of leaning over so she had rested her head on my shoulder. The more I thought about the more I started to turn red.  I felt so comfortable with her leaning on me. I had completely blocked out what happened earlier in the day. I never wanted her to leave...
"Alright everyone, class is almost over, If I were you I would start to pack up!" Mr. Joe says.
Just my luck.
Julie gets up at starts putting various papers into her bag. I close my computer.
"I hope I wasn't too much of a bother while you were aggressively typing." Julie says.
"Its fine and I was not AgGrEsSiVeLy typing" I say mocking her. She laughs a bit.
I love making her smile.
The bell rings. Julie was already at the door.
"Hey! you coming or not!" She yells across the room.
I jog to catch up with her since we were seated in the back of the room. We walk out of the room together on our way to the buses. 
It was always the most crowded walking outside to go home. All of the students were let out at once. Of course there was a second round but there are hardly any kids that aren't in the first.
Sadly me and Julie dont live near each other so once we get out the doors we go in opposite directions.
"See you on Monday!" I say.
"Bye!"


          I get on my bus. I dont stay on it very long because I'm the first stop.
A few minutes later I get off. I make it to my house and open the back door. Neither of my parents are home, They both work nine to five, So I wont see them for another two hours. I have a brother but he doesn't talk to me much.
I go up to my room, sit down on my bed and scroll on my phone for a bit. My rooms pretty plain, the walls are a cream color, the only thing that's not that plain is how messy it is. On my floor I just have random papers and items. My bed was unmade and the sheets were falling off but at least its comfortable.
I get a text from Julie.

I'm home I assume you need help with math work

I go to messages and call her.
"Hello!" I say.
"Hello lazy" She says
"Ey! I'm not that lazy," I say "I just dont like math."
She laughs a bit.


          We talked for a few hours until my parents got home. I eat dinner with them and get ready for bed. I watched TV for a few minutes before getting into bed. Even though it was a weekend my parents still wanted me asleep in good time. Right before I drift off I get another text from Julie.
Good night! See you on Monday! :)
I've been wanting to tell her how I felt so badly but I didn't want to ruin our friendship.
Night!

If only...
