My Brother's Best Friend

Chapter 22

I woke up to the alarm going off and I hit it, making it stop. I don't wanna go to school. "Santo, babe, get up. We have school." I said, kissing his lips softly. I felt him smile. "Best way to wake up." He stated, pulling me on him. I smiled and looked down at him. "We gotta get ready, baby." I told him. He sighed and sat up with me still on his lap.

Santo stood up and held me like a baby, carrying me to our bathroom. He sat me on the sink and started the water for a shower. After that, he stripped me and himself and we got in the shower. We did our hygiene things together then got dressed. I wore skinny jeans and a minnie mouse shirt with brown boots that go up to my knees. Santo wore jeans and a plain black shirt with his jordans. We quickly ate breakfast before leaving for school

-Skipping to when they get to school-

"Bye, babe, I'll see you at lunch. I love you." Santo said, kissing my lips for a minute. "I love you too. Be good." I told him, after he pulled away. Santo chuckled. "You be good and I'll be good, deal?" He asked. I nod and he pecks my lips one more time before walking to his class.

"Welcome back to Statesville High(A/N Creative.) Today's Friday, December 15th. A great way to get started is to do the pledge." The announcement said. Everyone stood and put their right hand over their heart and we all said the pledge in unison. We stood for the moment of silence and I did my prayer.(Did you know that is what the original moment of silence was for, before they cut prayer out of schools.) Then we sat down and listened to all the announcements.

"Today our school is playing Troutman's high school. Come on down to support us it is a home game so, it WILL take place at our field. The game starts at three-twenty. Admission prices are three dollars for children twelve and under and five dollars for everything over that. Have a nice day everyone." And the announcements were over. Santo's game is today and I'm excited for him because I know he's been working hard.

"Well class, today we will be working with partners and we'll be going around the school to measure things. It can be anything. You will find out if it is linear and if it has a weak positive correlation or a strong positive correlation. Or if it has a weak negative correlation or strong negative correlation." The teacher announced, looking around at all of us. He took attendance and assigned us partners. I have to work with some girl named Aniya.

"I'm Jazmine. Call me Jazzy please." I told her. She smiles a little. Aniya is a very shy person. She has a few friends but, not many. "I think I'll call you Niya." I told her. She smiled bigger. "So, what would you like to measure?" I asked. Niya thought for a minute. "We could measure the width of the books and how many pages it has. But, I don't think we should count the cover in it." She said quietly. I nod. "Works with me. Mr. Brooks, can we go to the library?" I asked loudly. He had to be able to hear me. "Yes." He answered.

Me and Niya walked up to the library. "I'll be right back." I said, running in the bathroom. I made it to the stall just in time. I threw up twice and then flushed the toilet. I brushed my teeth and washed my hands. I also applied more lip gloss. Then I ran back to the library and joined Niya.

We measured books for a while then I got hungry. I pulled out my Takis and ate them in the library. "You want some?" I asked Niya. Niya shrugs. I got my other bag and handed it to her. We finished measuring the books. Once we got ten different sizes, we called it quits.

"We need two more experiments. We could do shoe sizes. Ten from each grade." I suggested as we sat at a table in the library, brainstorming ideas. "And compare them to what?" Niya asked, writing it down. "U.S. sizes to European sizes. We can look up the European sizes, we just need their shoe size." I told her. She wrote that down. We both liked that idea so, we did that one.
