I'm sitting in history class.2 minutes in and I'm already bored.Mr.benson just keeps on taking about the rise and downfall of Napoleon or something,but I keep thinking about what I'm gonna eat later.Everybody looks half dead or something .can't blame them.the clock says 8:30

But I'm sitting right behind him.james damning Davis.i can't see shit on the board with his humongous head in the way,but he seems.........less intimidating,I guess..than..last year?
He still has that resting bitch face,but it's a little more tame.maybe he's grown out of his redemption arc.all he did last year was piss off random jocks(because he thought it was "funny")by throwing "snarky remarks" at them when they called him a "freak".atleast,that's what I found out from Amina at a sleep-over.Somehow,she's always got the top-notch,CIA level drama or,as I like to call it,"tea" about the school.

My train of thought is interrupted when the teacher suddenly asked our boy Jamie(James,I was trynna be funny)about.......well,I wasn't paying attention,but I think it was the treaty of Tilsit.Evidently,James wasn't either.
"Uhm-"he looked absolutely bamboozled.it was kind of funny

"He made peace with Russia",my voice barely above a whisper
"Napoleon made peace with Russia!",he said it like he came up with it himself.he really  should take up acting.
Mr.benson nodded and said,"yes,it was that,and other factors that led to ......."

Ugh-FINALLYYY.Whoop whopppp-class is over suckerssss!

I slide my pouch into my bag and I'm about to get up when James turns back and says,
"Hey,thanks....for back then"
I'm caught off guard but manage,"oh,sure,yeah!"
He smiles just a bit,"yeah,well......"a seconds pause,as if he's contemplating on saying the next part or not-"see you around....dumb Dorothy"a slight chuckle
I roll my eyes,ofcource,none will ever let me live that down,will they?
"Alright emo,get lost",I say sarcastically.
"I'm doing exactly that!because,well,y'know",he changes to a slightly airy voice."there's no place like second period!"
He leaves before I can say anything more.that little-
