Sophia
Maths. How can one subject be so boring and difficult at the same time? The answer to that is idk.
I have been sitting at the back of the class with my AirPods behind my hair, trying to figure out this one maths question. Only 10 more minutes. Yes. 10 more minutes til I'm out of this distressing lesson.

"Ding!" My head snaps up from the desk! I quickly gather my things, exhausted but happy to be out of this torture that is called maths. Before I can leave, I hear someone call my name.

"Sophia." My eyes search around for the speaker. "Sophia over here!" There he is, jay. Well and Jackson as he's the one calling my name.

"Hey can I help u?" I smile in the nicest tone possible.

"Do you have the homework answers?" My smile drops. Really out of everything, he asked that.

"Sorry I haven't done it yet," I reply. I really couldn't be bothered with Jackson today.

"Oh well, what's in your bag then." My eyes turn to my bag which has the maths homework, fully filled in, hanging out. They all laugh. Well not all of them. Jay looks at me with swollen eyes like he actually feels bad. Like he cares. He couldn't tho. Could he?

Could he care about me?

Instead of humiliating myself even more, I run out of the classroom, eager to get home.

Before I can head out of the school doors, I realise I forgot my maths book in the classroom.

Dammit.

I quickly rush towards the door, oblivious to my surroundings.

Ow.

I trip over someone's leg and go face first on to the floor. I turn around to see jay and his group staring at me.

"Watch where your going next time!" Jay says in a threatening voice. I quickly get up off the floor, grab my book and sprint out the classroom, without sparing him a look.

Phew. I slump against a locker, catching my breath. My mind flicks back to the horrific situation that just happened.

How could jay say that?

Why would jay say that?

Did he mean it?

I knew we weren't friends but did he have to be a dick to everyone he sees.

All my sympathy feelings towards him turn into anger.

And to think I thought he felt bad for me.

I grab my bag, blocking my thoughts from my mind and leave school. I was ready to come home.

Gosh I've been ready since the start of the day.

I got home, half an hour later. I took my AirPods out and grab a snack. Chips ahoy, yum. I run upstairs to my room and shut the door behind me in one swift movement. I sigh. It was good to be home. Before I can let my mind do other things, I bury it in a book that I just started. I loved reading. Not because it made me smarter but because it made me feel things movies couldn't. I'm not going to lie, I do love films though so that says a lot. I turn on my speaker on the edge of my bed side table and lie down on the bed with the book in hand.

Ugh. I couldn't do this.

I put my book down and let my mind drift back and forward through different thoughts and feelings. Before long, I was closing my eyes and letting myself relax.

Suddenly, I snap up from my bed. Knocking noises fill my brain from the door.

"Sophia," my mum calls "Sophia, honey, are u in there!"

Oh no how long was she standing there? How long was I asleep ?

"Sorry mum, coming." I get up from my bed and open the door to see my mum standing there with some muffins. ooo. They were blueberry and smelt delicious.

"Would u mind dropping these off to the neighbours, they've just moved in." She said with a smile on her face, covering her dark circles. I really didn't want to. I knew I had to though. My mum looked like she was going to fall asleep on the spot, I couldn't just say no. That is why instead of saying no, I nodded and took the muffins from her hands.

I head out of the door with the crocks that I grabbed on my feet, half on, half off. When I make it to their door, I knock on gently. Minutes later and still no one has answered the door. Well that was a waste of time. I turn away about to leave but the door suddenly opens. And u wouldn't guess who was on the other side.

Jay.
