Friends with benefits???

Friends?

It's the second week of school and Matteo is working on my last nerve. Gabby didn't change back seats so I guess I'm sitting next to him for the rest of the year. And I think he's actually afraid of me. He stutters to talk to me when we have to work together during class. It's kind of funny to watch him jump when I come around. It makes me feel like I'm the boss or something.

So I walk into class, not late at all anymore, and there's a new girl in my seat. So I walk over and stand up next to her and wait for her to realize that I'm there. She turns, looks at me, and turned away, like I'm not even there! So I say "Excuse me, but this is my seat." "There's plenty of seats, I'm sure you can find a new one." So I drop my bag, ready to punch her and say "If I can find one, you can find one too." So she gets up and sits in the seat in front of us. I know I could've sat there, but I'm very territorial.

When the bell rang Mr. Passman walked in. He said "We'll be working in groups of four today, so group up." Gabby sat next to that girl, turned back to me and Matteo, and suggested we worked together. The first thing out my mouth was "I'm not working with her." She said "My name's Christine, and I'm sorry that we started off on the wrong foot." She extended her hand expecting me to shake it. I just looked at it and back her and said "Whatever, we should get working."

By the time we started to actually work the class was basically over. Christine was talking about how she traveled a lot cuz it was her dads job, and about how "badass" she is cuz she got kicked out of two private schools. The bell finally rang and Gabby said "We should sit together at lunch for the project." We all agreed. Christine then walked up to me and said "Ready to go." "Go where?" She showed me her schedule and I'm assigned as her tour guide, which is weird cuz I never signed up for that. I take a good look at her schedule. I looks like mine. We had 4/6 of the same classes together. Yay me.

Lunch

I walked into the cafeteria and see Gabby, Matteo and Christine sitting at the second to last table on the left hand side. How did Matteo and Christine get here before me? We had the same third period together. I walk over and sat down at the table. There all staring at me like I'm supposed to say something, so I just plug in my headphones and blast my music. Matteo pulls them out my ear and starts to spas on me. "Look I get it. You don't like us, you don't care about us, and you can care less about this project or your grades. But I don't care what you do and do not care about. Deep down I know your a chill person. I want to be friends with that chill person." By then everyone around us was staring. I put a fake smile on my face. "How cute. You put together a little speech for me." I smirked and got up to get my lunch.

At the end of the day, on the bus, I sat in my usual seat. The seat all the way in the back. You'll never believe who decided to just plop there butt next to me. Matteo. "Look, Jada, I know I've said some bad things. I really just want for us to be friends. Do you think that can work?" "Fine. I guess."
