I decide to walk to school today, which isn't easy since I've got all my stuff in my hands. But its nice to have time to think, not about Toby of course, about...cars and stuff. Thats the real reason I'm walking, my car finally gave up on me and died. Dead cars don't become angels and fly like ChittyChittybangbang, they just lie there infront of your house, sagging slightly.
I walk to the gate and in through the doors, banging my elbow agints the doorframe and all my books and stuff fall on the ground. As I lean down to pick them up, the door opens and bangs my bum. I stumble forward and fall face first into the pile of books. I get up instantly, well, like on my hands and knees.
I turn around to face whoever knocked me down." What the hell was that, you--" I say, but then I see it's Toby, ugh here it comes...
"Oh, sorry." He says and walks on past the counter and in through the hall doors. I stare after him, my mouth hanging open. Ok, what was that. I thought he liked me. But maybe I'm wrong. I stand up and pick my books up. Sniffing, because I hurt my head not because Toby didn't help me, definitely not that. I finally get myself together and walk past the counter in through the hall doors, turn the corner and walk in the doors of fifth class.I stop in the doorframe. Leaning againts my desk is Toby, a big smile on his face. Ugh, he thinks he owns the world. I don't know if I like him anymore. "So you do care." He says, still grinning. I scowl at him, walk over to my desk and put my handbag down on the chair." About what?" I say sourly. He stops leaning againt my desk and stands infront of me. "Your eyes they're red and puffy, why?" He asks, he thinks I like him! Ugh! He is the one who likes me.
" I hit my head when you smashed the door into my butt!" I say, barely keeping my cool." So, you don't care that I left you on the floor?" He asks, that stupid grin getting bigger by the minute. I hesitate. "No." I murmur, looking away from his face. He laughs. This is when I lose my cool."What is wrong with you!" I whisper scream. Then he just completely changes the subject." Do you you have a boyfriend?" He says.
"As a matter of fact I do." I say, so sourly it actually wipes that grin right off his face.
"Oh." He says, kind of like he is dissapointed. Then he walks out the door. Like what the, wait he was dissapointed? He was just testing to see if I liked him. Thats kind of cute. SHUT UP!Just then, I see sixth class walk by. Fifth must be coming now. Eve* and Aria* turn the corner, then the rest of fifth class hangs there coat on the hangers and walk in. "Hey, everyone, come and get a chair. You can sit beside anyone for a few days." I say getting up from my chair and walking over to turn the electronic white board on. Everyone scrambles around looking for a friend to sit beside. "You guys have changed alot since senior infants! "I say, smiling, I've always liked this class. I feel that this will be a good year. Well, minus the fact that Toby likes me, I kind of like him, scratch that last part I definitely don't like him, I love Pete.
I focus on the children for the rest of the lesson, about summer holidays and stuff. But then Toby comes, can he not stay away from for one minute?" Sorry, Miss Jenna, but can Eden come out for his maths class?" He says, while Eden gets up from his desk. I forgot Toby was teaching the extra help classes, ok, so I didn't actually know in the first place, because you know I was too busy shouting at him. But still its good to know, in case I need to apologise, which is going to happen, I was little mean to him, I suppose. I catch him staring at me as he walks away, I walk over and shut the door, I see him laugh. Hmm, he thinks I'm funny? Nah, he probably thinks I'm in love with him, which I'm not.
