*the next day*

I wake up this morning to the sound of Vania calling me.

"Bruhh what."

"Mikaila what the hell did you just wake up? It's already 7:10."

Fuck

I forgot we have school today.

I still haven't gotten over the fact that summer is basically over.

When I get to my first period all the teacher talks about is the syllabus and the grading system.

That's probably what the rest of the day is gonna be like.

Sigh

The rest of the periods went by painfully slowly but finally it was lunchtime.

Lunchtime is probably the only enjoyable time I'll have since we get a break.

Too bad that it's only long enough for us to go to our lockers, go to the bathroom, and eat.

We barely have any time to talk to our friends and enjoy our small amount of freedom.

My friends just talked about their day and how good or shitty their teachers were.

"Mikaila what class do you have next?" Vania asks

"Drawing." I reply

Honestly I don't even know why I chose drawing.

I mean I suck at drawing and I'm way too impatient.

There really wasn't enough options to choose from anyways so I had to settle for that.

As I walk up the stairs of the D building to head to my drawing class, I thankfully see one of my friends.

"YES MIKAILA YOU'RE IN THIS CLASS!" She says

"JASMIN THANK GOD I THOUGHT I WAS GONNA BE ALONE." I say

We take our seats on one of the stools kind of in the middle-back because we both suck and didn't want the teacher to notice.

"I only chose this class because Taylor was taking it but I'm so bad at drawing." She admits

"Yea me too, I thought I was gonna be in the same class as Taylor and Raina but nope."

"It's okay we can fail together."

Then suddenly I see Calum walk in.

Of course he's in this class, I don't know why I didn't notice him yesterday.

He sits at a table behind and diagonal from us.

This should be fun.

The teacher starts to speak,

"Okay class, so I know you've probably been lectured the whole day about your classes' rules and such so I thought today I'd give you a break and we can just jump right in to drawing."

Finally a break.

She hands us these papers with grids and shapes in them.

"Okay so for this activity class I want you to focus not on the objects, but.." She goes on

I'm just gonna draw what I think I see.

I put my headphones in and tune out everything else.

I look back to see two sophomores behind me laughing and hitting each other.

Damn don't you think they'd grow up by now?

Looks like Calum has none of his asshole friends in this class to talk to and be annoying with.

He's just sitting, also with his headphones in, and quietly drawing.

Jasmin starts to laugh next to me.

"What?" I ask

Then I look at her drawing.

"What the hell is that?" I laugh too

"I don't know I was trying to draw a leaf." She answers

We're laughing louder than we meant too because of how bad we are at drawing.

Then suddenly the teacher says, "Girls please quiet down there are people trying to focus."

"Sorry." We both say

I continue drawing just minding my own business until I hear the people behind us whispering to each other things like, "Bruhh you talk to her." Or "Noo you say something." And stuff like that until finally the guy behind us asks, "Hey are you a freshman?"

I ask Jasmin, "wait is he talking to me?"

"I think so. Just ignore him." She replies

I would ignore him except he's tapping my shoulder expecting me to turn around.

So I do.

"Um yea I'm a freshman."

"Ahh I see." One guy says

Then I turn back around all confused and still they were trying to talk to me.

The guy directly behind me kept tapping my seat.

"Hey freshman," he says

"What." I turn back around

"What's your name?" The other guy asks

"Um it's-"

"Mikaila!" I hear Calum say

I look at him and mouth "What?"

He looks from me to the sophomores behind me then nods his head and smiles.

Okay that was weird.

"So your name's Mikaila? That's a pretty name."

"Uh sure I guess."

"Hey Mikaila lemme ask you something.."

{Lol and das it this actually happens to me in drawing class, yea NOT FUN!! But oh well hope you're enjoying :)}
