After the gym class ended I changed into the jeans I kept in my locker and into my previous shirt. All my classes went by fairly quickly until my final period of the day. Which is the period I have with Ms.Thomas also known as my second period of creative arts . During this period the partners' pairs have to sit next to one another. So Noah ended up sitting next to me because the seat was empty and it was more convenient.
" Alright class, as I said in the first period I'm going to be handing out the project packets. Will one partner from each pair please come up and get their assigned packet." says Ms. Thomas
" You wanna go or I go ? " Noah asks
" ummm you can go. I'm not really eager to go get that packet . " i say while putting my head down wanting the ground to swallow me up
" aight i'll be back . ' he says while getting up
" hey hey hey " i hear someone whisper from my right
" Yes ? " i question lifting my head from the desk
It's Grace, one of many people in Noah's friend group
" wanna trade partners ? " grace asks
" Nah, my partner is really chill and I don't think we can change partners. You heard Ms.Thomas the packets are assigned by partners. " I informed her with a nonchalant tone.
" mmcht " she kisses her teeth as if she was expecting me to say yes. Some nerves she has.
As I close my eyes, getting comfortable with my head on the desk I feel him sit down. There goes my quick nap
" okayyy so basically we got the project with the most hard work. " he says with a sigh
" How can creative writing be hard ? i ask
" by having us create a Rambling biography about one another. " He says, hints of excitement in his tone.
" So how do you want to go about this ? I would suggest we write our own and then yk go about our lives but that doesn't seem like something you would do. "I say
" And you would be correct, I think we should get to know one another and then write like that." He says
" Okay, okay but are we doing surface level or getting personal ? " i ask
" In order for me to write a biography I need to know YOU as a person, not just surface level. I need to learn from my perspective in order to capture the best picture yk. If you tell me it's just how you see yourself and it's not gonna work. " he says nonchalantly
Ngl that left me speechless. I honestly didn't think he had it in him
" alright so when are we going to work on this together ? " I ask while picking up my copy of the project breakdown.
" well I'm free most days" he starts but i cut him off
' just give me a time and place and i'll be there : i say mid yawn
" okay I'll let you know " he says before leaving
RINGGGGGGGGGG
The school bell rings signaling that I can go home and rest. As I pack up to leave the classroom. Ms.Thomas slips me a note
" wait for me by the courtyard " it reads in her pretty cursive.
{ a/n : no this is not a student teacher relationship }
" Alright, see you there. " I responded out loud walking out the door.
The air smelled of rain, and I welcomed the idea of the storm washing away my scattered thoughts. I began walking along the street, my mind a jumble of ideas and worries.
Lost in my own world, I felt a sudden honk and looked up to see Brenda's car next to me. She rolled down the window, her voice carrying through the rain.
"I thought I told you to wait in the yard," Brenda said, a mix of exasperation and concern in her tone.
"I was waiting, but then I got bored and started walking," I replied, grateful for the escape from the rain.
" Good thing I got you before the storm did . " Brenda said
" yeahh good thing " I murmured, my thoughts momentarily anchored in the present.
" Do you like the concept of the project ? " she asked, changing the topic of conversation
" I think the work you want me and Noah to do is a little much but other than that I actually like the idea of creating the biography especially since it's a ramble basically so in a way it's uncensored. " i admit
" ahh I thought you would like that aspect. And Noah's emphasis on details is so beautiful . ' she says, admiration evident
I couldn't help but be curious. "I'm assuming that's why you partnered us together?" I inquired, a small smile tugging at my lips.
"Yep," Brenda replied, her response punctuated by a cheerful pop of the "p."
The car fell into a comfortable silence, and I found my eyelids growing heavy. As I drifted into a daydream, the world outside the window blurred into a dreamlike haze.
" Come on Aphrodite just sleep with me one time , that's it "
" RAY NO LEAVE ME ALONE . "
" you think you can just tease me like this ?
" No I'm not teasing you, RAY STOP "
Brenda's touch on my shoulder brought me back to reality, and her words enveloped me in a comforting embrace.
" Are you okay ? ' she continues
" Yeah, just a bad day dream . I'm fine now thanks." I say shivering but I'm not cold. " I got you to remember. I got us " she says comfortingly
