She and I

1/07/22 - Part 2

11:11am

We talked about how she actually thought I was about to fight Ant.

I laugh at her. But as I was to say something, the two Yr 9 girls once again jumped into our conversation.

"Why, out of all times, when I'm about to say something," I thought to myself.

They're talking to her, and she doesn't look like she didn't want to interact with them. But then Ant and another one of my friends came up to us, with some of our upperclassmen. It started off with just two people, now there' about 8 of us, talking at the same time. The two Yr 9's are talking to our upperclassman.

I slip away from the circle.

She notices me gone from her side, and as she looks up, seeing me signaling to her to run away. She escapes quietly, and starts running.

Ant see's me and her running, and I turn around and signal to him and my other close friend to follow us. And they do. But not as obvious as she and I were.

She screams my name.

I was way ahead of her.

I slowed down, grabbed her hand, and we rushed forward.

We made it to A block, where all the carpentry classes were. And we hid behind an overgrown bush. We're out of breath, and I realized I was still holding her hand.

I let go calmly, when inside I was freaking out, that I ran with her, hand in hand.

"We're too popular," I say aloud.

She laughs at what I say, and agrees.

"Way too popular," she smiles stunningly.

A few moments later, I hear my name being called out.

It was Ant.

I come out of the bushes, and I see him, with my very close friend.

I ask them if the two Yr 9's are following. They shake their heads.

She and I sigh in relief.

The bell rings for the 3rd period.
