Paperless Plane

CHAPTER 3 Don't Judge Me

What a boring day for a jump start. It’s been a week ever since that dreaded pool scene happened with me and Adrian and I doubt that he could still remember it.

He didn’t really try to do some freaky stuff anymore to me and I’m glad he did.

He stopped that devilish grin of his and doesn’t seem to bother at my business at all.

Actually, he didn’t even notice me as I walked towards him at the front yard of our school. And to add things up during the weekends he didn’t make another imprudent act at my household. 

By far, I could probably say that my encounter with him is just fading quickly but hey why do I even bother.

We were enjoying our free time at the lounge and by we, all the people at my crowd well except for me.

I’m getting my hands busy scribbling due to fact that I haven’t done my Physics assignment and clearly our free time is just a huge metaphor for Porsha get your ass off to work for you’ll dread to be flunking Physics.

Our free time is my biggest opportunity in which I could grab one of my friend’s notebooks and be able to fully replicate his/her assignments not of course being totally get caught by the matching ripostes.

I positioned myself near the soccer field wanting to finish my work fast and ditch my friends when I grab both Taylor’s and Walter’s pads. I want to feel the breeze of the air and enjoy the wonderful daylight.

I’m nearly done by the way, and when I looked up at the clear blue sky, I saw this tiny piece of paper flying towards my direction.

It landed on my lap and I couldn’t help it but a smile eventually formed on my face as I’ve seen the paper plane.

I suddenly got the longing to reminisce the time in my childhood when my friend Mel used to make paper planes and he’ll eventually let them fly in the fields near Salvador.

We would always chase it and I always fail to get them first. Hhmm…I wonder where he could be now.

His family moved when I was in third grade and eventually after that I never heard of him. I miss him though.

The bell rang and my Physics class is already starting. What a dreaded subject.

Why do I have to bear with all this crap if eventually during my college years I would be taking up Multi-Media Arts?! I really couldn’t put these two together. They don’t jive you know?!

Our Physics teacher Mr. Oliver decided to do something one of a kind and by one a kind the very rustic and ancient pair project.

And to make it even more obvious and worse in each and every one of us, he decided to have the pairing by picking your partner at his mystery bowl.

What a really exciting way to know your partner. Take note of the sarcasm here!

“Miss Porsha Shelby Bradley. Please come up in front and know the name your partner.” I readily hunched at my seat and went walking to the aisle to the center table of the classroom and pick up the piece of paper. I handed it to Mr. Oliver and he read the name written up on it.

 I really didn’t even bother to totally listen to what he was saying but my ears caught up the name Adrian Richards.

I glanced upon him near the window and I saw him smiling at me. I squinted my eyes as I looked at him and eventually ignored him.

Well I guess I have to be deal with the fact that that I will be pairing myself up with the guy whom I personally abhor.

Seriously, I don’t know what’s wrong with me to personally have a grudge on him…its just that maybe his too arrogant and boastful for my type, and I personally detest the way he looks at me.

Me?! Pairing up the whole semester with Mr. Pool boy is not something to be giddy about. I walked back at my sit and waited until all the names were given and of course after that we all have to formally meet our partner and be basically buddies.

Geez. Like hell it would happen!

“Hey partner nice meeting you.” Adrian said happily. For some unknown reason he is oozing with joy and excitement, maybe his glad that I paired up with him but if you people want to check on my happy level. I hate to break it to you guys but I’m taking it all passively.

Why would I be so giddy and giggly about a stupid Physics project?!

“Hello Adrian nice to meet you too.” I answered unattendedly. I was staring at the aquarium next to Mr. Oliver and after a moment of cold silence he suddenly blurted again.

“So when are we going to start our project?” I looked at him quizzically and just said “Maybe later, I’m listening to Mr. Oliver.”

His mouth formed an "O" and just nodded and started looking upfront.

The bell rang and I am going for my next class. Physical Education may suck at most people but not for me... ‘coz I’m a very athletic woman but you know what keeps on bothering me is the fact that Adrian seems to be so persistent about our Physics project and his been following me even after class.

“Porsha, are we going to have some brainstorming for the Physics project?”

I just ignored him and gave my friends a head start by hastily walking in the hallway. I needed to pee so badly and I just waved my hands to Taylor and India and they understood but someone couldn’t just get the memo and he just seems to be following my pace like a normal person.

“Porsha give me an answer so I can talk it to you.” I stopped abruptly and faced him.

I looked at him directly and finally said. “Adrian, relax ok? Chill. We have a whole semester to do this so please buzz off ‘coz I’m in a hurry. I’m having my next period and I’m going to be late for gym class.”

“But we’re classmates in gym class and I know that we still have 15 minutes before it starts, so why the hurry?” he asked amused by my explanation.

Urrgghh. If only he knew! But still I was taken off-guard ‘coz what the fvck is his problem with this shitty project!

“Doesn’t mean we’re classmates we’re gonna be having the same life schedules.” I answered irately but his just smirked at my answer yet again and for once I have really gotten offended by his crazy antics.

What the fvck is wrong with him!

I’ve been happily wandering my life ever since last week without his annoying grin plastered on his face but now he is killing me with his giddiness and mind you it’s not even funny and overwhelming.

I completely snubbed him and headed fast paced to the girls' washroom before I become a fuming volcano out in the hallway.

How dare him to smirk and laugh at my words. It’s not even funny you know!

It’s very degrading and it irritates the hell out of me! And oh I’m glad I keep my cool for I was able to hold the call of nature in front of him.
