After that kiss, we were just sitting and watching others play basketball. I was never good at sports, that's why I hated them. I can catch a ball and break fingers, I can run and die after few minutes. I remember middle school, people were usually yelling at me because I sucked at sports. We had horrible teacher, but now we have normal one. I think that our teacher doesn't even look how we play, she's usually on her phone.
- Hey, Ellie? - Alex asks, I quickly turn around and look at her
- Hm?
She looks at me for few seconds and speaks up - Nevermind.
- Something wrong?
- No. - she shook her head
I was worried that something was wrong, but when I wanted to ask her if she's okay, the bell rang. I quickly got up and followed Alex to our next class. We walked in art class. While painting picture of flowers we had to choose, I noticed Alex is quietly and slowly painting. That was weird for her, she would usually talk to me about anything, she isn't that quiet. I wanted to ask her if she's fine, but I got distracted by her beautiful painting. She drew iris, one of my favorite flowers. She was pretty good at drawing, I haven't seen her draw before but this one was truly beautiful.
- Uhm, Alex? - I whisper and hope that teacher won't hear me because, believe me, she would freak out if she heard any kind of noise
- Yeah?
- A... Are you okay? What's happening? - I look at her
- I don't feel well. I'll ask teacher if I can leave school.
She gets up and slowly walks at teacher. After few seconds of talk, she came at her place and picked up her bag.
- See you. - she smiles and hugs me, and then she leaves
- No homo! - teacher yells
I almost burst into laugh though the whole class was already laughing. I mean, how often does it happen that teacher yells "No homo" in middle of the class? Yeah, my teacher is pretty special. I calmed down and worked on my painting. When I was about to colour leaf, one boy behind me poked me with his pen.
- You got a problem? - I turn around
- You're a dyke, aren't you? - he laughs
I wanted to tell him something, but the bell rang and I hurried up to my biology class. I found my place next to the window with beautiful cactus on it and took out my books. I opened my books, and then I heard that guy again. I turned around. Oh, what a joy! He's sitting behind me which means he'll tease me the whole class.
- You were about to say something. - he says and smirks
- Hey, what's your name?
- Russell. - he answers
What a nice name.
I turn around to make sure teacher and other idiots aren't in the class. Luckily, in class were only two of us.
- Listen here, Russell... I'm a human being no matter what my sexuality is. Understand that?
He wanted to tell me something, but teacher walked in.
Wow.
I actually talked to someone I don't know in this class.
It probably sounds stupid, but I felt proud of myself. I was proud that I talked to someone that isn't Alex or some of teachers. It was really hard for me to talk to someone I don't know, especially about things like this. Russell poked me again, I didn't turn around. After few seconds, someone threw piece of paper on my desk. If he wrote that I'm a dyke, I swear to God I'll slit his throat.
