The Middle School Struggle

Five

"Hey Lay, do you need help carrying all of your books and stuff?" Bruh.... Everyone was telling me that Jordan liked me... Were they right? Or is he just being nice? I really need to know soon. "Yeah sure... Why not?" Jordan grabs my books and we walk to 1st period , Algebra 1. Mrs. Ellie is my favorite teacher. She's so nice.... well at least she's nice to me! I walk in and say good morning to her. She winks at me when she sees Jordan walking behind me carrying my books. Jordan sits across from me. He's been looking at me ALL PERIOD! I don't think I told you what he looks like... well he's light skin, has curly brown hair, dimples, hazel eyes, and straight white teeth.

As soon as class is over me and Jordan walk out of class and head to our 2nd period Gym. Ughhh I hate gym class sooo much. You have to do all this running and exercise and it just makes me want to pass out and take a long nap. Jordan loves gym and he's all athletic and stuff. As we walk to the gym he says "Layla I really like you. You're fun to be around and you make me happy. Will you go out with me?"

I almost died when he said that. I mean I like Jordan and he's really cute and nice and smart. I think I should just take the chance. I probably won't get this opportunity again. "Of course Jordan." then I start to smile and he starts blushing like crazy.

Gym was extremely lame as usual. Now me and Jordan are going to 3rd period, History. Mr. Brian is pretty cool. He has a lot of knowledge and he gets really excited about history. He also says okay a lot. But overall I enjoy his class a lot. Of course Jordan sits beside me. It seems like in every class he sits beside me.

Today we had a substitute. Mr. Pattison ...... He smiles all the time.... way too much.... for no apparent reason!! He even smiles when he is supposed to be yelling at the class. The other day Malai saw him at Walmart and he was walking around, pushing his cart with this creepy behind smile on his face. He's calling the attendance now. He'd better get my name right. "Lay - lee - lah? are you here?" "I'm present sir, but my name is Layla.... How did you get Lay - lee - lah out of Layla?" "oh, I apologize Layla it's just that I'm very bad at names." "O." Everybody started to snicker. But I didn't see what was so funny. How could he mess up my name? He can pronounce Malai right but he can't sat Layla? how twisted is that. After 45 long, boring and tiring minutes, class was over. I turned in my assignment, which I had finished a whole bunch of minutes ago, and left the class room.

Next was lunch, hallelujah because I was super hungry. I brought two slices of pepperoni pizza and a coca cola to drink. I had brought plenty of snacks too... but whatever. At the table was me, Malai, Jasmine, McKenzie, and Jordan. We had potluck again (where everybody brings food and we all share). I like having potluck because when we leave, we aren't as hungry as we would have been if we just ate our own lunch. Our potluck club motto is pack for one, but choose to share. (Me and Malai made that up in math class.....)

5th period was art. I finished my assignment, and then played games on the computer, while having a group chat on Hangouts with Malai and Jasmine. Nothing major there.

6th, 7th and 8th period were all a blur. I was just happy to be going home.
