Diary of an *insert qualities here* Person

Chapter 5

Friday April 29 2022

Soccer tryouts were yesterday. They were kind of fun, but not really. There was another tryout today. I did better in today's, and it was more fun. Soccer tryouts didn't run the whole lunch hour, so we went back to class around 12:50 to eat lunch. I though all the stupid drama with John and I had stopped a while ago, but I was wrong. Something happened today. Allow me to explain! So, after soccer tryouts, I went back to class and started eating. Theo told me that our teachers were talking about moving our seats. Me and this other girl who sits in my row both agreed we would give anything to not sit next to Alan. He sits between us and is SO annoying. So yeah, I was sitting eating my lunch, thinking about where I wanted to sit and with who. All of a sudden, John walks in. I found that a bit strange, since he's supposed to be at chess club. By the way, I'm in the chess club, but I had decided not to go because I had soccer tryouts. Theo stopped John and told him that we might be switching seats while he's walking to the back of the classroom. He just stood there, confused. I don't know why. Then she asked him, "John, why are you flabbergasted?" He didn't reply, of course, and just continued walking. I assumed that he was just going to his desk to get his lunch or something, so I just continues eating my lunch. Out of the corner of my eye, I see John coming over to my desk. Then he told me that one of my friends (from another class) was at chess and wanted to play chess with me. I replied "Okay". Then I had to put my lunch away to go to chess club. In the process, my muffin broke in half. I got up and followed John out of the room. I was about two metres behind him. Then Theo jumped in and said "Maybe she's setting you guys up". Obviously not. I replied, "Why would you think that?" John also said something but I didn't really catch it. Then Amber said something like "Yeah" to what Theo said. As literally the entire class knows, I get SO angry when someone brings up stuff about John and I. So I just got super angry and walked out of the classroom fast before anyone could say anything else. As I left, Amber said "I think she's mad". So then I went to chess club. And the story doesn't end there! Once I got to chess, I found my friend, but I noticed there wasn't another chair for me. I didn't mind since I actually prefer to play chess standing up. We were about to start, but then we realized we were missing some pieces. I was missing a queen, and my friend was missing a knight and a pawn. So she called Nolan, who helps with chess club, to help us find new pieces. And guess who came along with him? JOHN. So yeah. We explained our issue and then John went to get us new pieces, gave then to us, then left. After I won the first game, I took my lunchbag and started eating again. I was standing like a flamingo because I was balancing my lunchbag on one of my legs. I am very proud of that. My flamingo standing lasted about 5 minutes, because my teacher (who also supervises the chess club) saw me and asked if I wanted a chair. I said no, thinking she would leave me alone. Plus, I didn't want a chair. She asked if I was sure, and I said I was sure. Then, after I said that, JOHN (yes, again) goes and BRINGS ME a chair! Seriously, I SAID I DIDN'T WANT ONE! Since I am a NICE person, I said "Thank you" and sat down. Nothing else happened. I won another chess game. Once the bell rang, I got out of there as fast as I could and went to class. When I walked in, the class was watching Canada's Got Talent auditions. The last interesting thing that happened was we did drama outside. We played this dumb mirror game where we were put in partners and took turns mirroring each other's movements. I really hate how my teacher separates us from our friends on purpose. SO, guess who I was with? Not John. LUCAS. Of all people. Tbh, I really sucked at that game. Being partners wit Lucas made it even worse. It also didn't look like we were mirroring each other because I am a LOT taller than Lucas. Like, A LOT.

As the days go on, I feel like I hate John even more. Also sorry I forgot to write for the past few days. I was busy. Today I hung out with Julia after school today. It wasn't really diary entry interesting until we went on her trampoline. Somehow, we ended up talking about John. No surprise there. So first, we were talking about who we think he likes. He told Julia that it wasn't Eva or Amber. Since then, we've been trying to figure out who it is because we clearly have nothing better to do. Today, Julia said she thinks John likes Emma. I sort of think Emma still likes Aiden, though, but I'm not sure. After that, Julia mentioned that her and John have FaceTimed multiple times. So then I got her to tell me some stuff. Apparently, John told her that he thinks I like Lucas because we're both "Boring Smart People". Like, WHAT?! Why would he call his best friend that? More importantly, he called ME a boring smart person. First of all, I don't think of myself as "boring". I can ask literally everyone (except John), and they will agree with me. On second thought, maybe just my friends. And "Smart"?? That does not describe me. We once had this argument over whether I was smart or not. Anyway, he's totally wrong. I am NOT a "Boring Smart Person". And I DO NOT LIKE LUCAS. Julia also told me something else. Apparently, when she gave John the note confessing all her feelings, he actually LIKED HER BACK. Too bad Julia doesn't like him anymore. To me, that's not even the most shocking part. Apparently, when he told her that, he also provided a list of people she couldn't tell. It was basically a bunch of her gossip friends, and then ME. Yes, ME. How in the world does his brain work? He said it was because those people "spread the most rumours". When have I EVER spread a rumour? I think he needs to check his brain function. Anyway, Julia told me that stuff even though John said not to tell me. It's fine because Julia tells me lots of stuff. Also, it's not like I'm going to tell anyone.

Author's Note: There are only two entries in this chapter because they're soooooo long (especially April 29). I am going to be slowing down my uploading for this story just because it's consistent until about July 9, then I took a 6 month break, and started again like a month ago. There will probably be about two to three more chapters on my normal post schedule, then I might change it to every other week or something. I might also start a new story, so if you have ideas, feel free to comment.

Thank you so much for reading my story! ^-^  ^_^
