"N-no it's not.", she giggled and sat down putting her bag on the desk. Why did I stutter? Ugh I'm so lame sometimes. I don't understand why she's even sitting next to me. Maybe I'm just over thinking this.
I need to just stop and breathe. Calming myself down I closed my eyes and counted to five. 1...2...3..4..
"Hello class! Welcome to AP Bio. My name is Mrs. Jorde. I know you are all seniors and probably hate doing this but today we're going to get to know each other," the whole class groaned. "I know, I know. Life's hard. Now as you can tell the classroom desks are meant for two so the rest of the class period you will be getting to know your classmate since they will be your partner for the next few weeks." she began setting up a slide show for us. "I came up with a few easy question starters so please use them, or you can use your own. Like I said we will do this for half of the period. So do begin."
My body was still as the class began to talk to their partners. I looked up at the board and saw the usual questions.
When's your birthday? Favorite food? Favorite Hobby? How many siblings do you have? Favorite color?
I chose to start with the first one, "So..when's your-"
"I'm sorry about Luke.", Luke? Was that the guys name who tripped me? That fucking lip ring prick.
"It's okay," I said trying to play it cool. It was quiet between the two of us for few seconds. A bit of an awkward silence actually.
"I like your hair." she said, "It's different and it suits you." I couldn't help but give her a small smile. "Thanks. I like yours too." Shit. Did I just say that? I'm so stupid.
"Seriously? It's just brown though. So plain. I wish it was abit different." I didn't think it was plain. Her brown hair went perfectly with her hazel eyes.
"I dyed my hair brown before but only for a while." Why did I tell her that? She didn't even ask! She probably doesn't even care.
"Really? You dye your own hair? That's really cool actually. How many colors have you dyed it.", her body was twisted towards me and she was so calm and cool. She was interested and didn't think I was weird for dying my hair. She even apologized for that Luke guy.
"Tons of colors actually. I'm surprised I haven't gone bald yet." and she laughed. She was laughing so much to the point her face turned a bit pink. It was really cute actually. Ha! Don't even think about it Clifford. She would never go for a guy like you.
"You're pretty funny um sorry whats your name? I never had a chance to ask you."
"Oh it's Michael. Or Mikey. Or Clifford. Um you can call me whatever you want." Fuck. I keep messing up.
She giggled, "Well nice to meet you Mikey. I'm Claire."
Instead of using the questions from Mrs.Jorde's power point we just used our own. I found out Claire likes to read and wants to write her own story. Also she wants to go to New York one day. I told her about my friend Ashton and my favorite video games. I asked her what her favorite movie was and said The Fault In Our Stars.
"I wouldn't tell anyone else this but I feel like I can trust you", she gave me a concerned look, "I cried when I watched that movie." I expected her to laugh but surprisingly she didn't. "Awww Mikey! That's adorable."
"No its not! I'm punk rock. And when you're punk rock you don't cry." and she was laughing again. Was I really that funny? Or did she laugh at everything?
"Hey I'm not saying that it doesn't make you punk rock I just thought it was adorable that you cried during a movie like The Fault In Our Stars."
Before I can make a comment Mrs.Jorde stood in front of the class. "Alrighty then, I think I gave you guys enough time to get to know each other. Now since we still have time I need you to write about it out just to make sure you guys were on topic."
"Are you serious?", some kid called out.
"Of course I am. I'll only make it half a page and if you can't do that how are you in my class? You have ten minutes till the bell rings."
I pulled out a piece of paper, pen and began writing. The ten minutes went by fast and as soon as the bell rang everyone was trying to leave the class but Mrs.Jorde was waiting at the door taking everyone's paper as they left.
"Hey Michael!", I turned to see Claire walking towards me after handing her paper in. "Maybe you could sit with me and my friends at lunch?"
"That'd be cool. I'll try to find you then." I said. Claire nodded and started walking to third period.
