February 10th 1:37 pm

Today, I got more attention than I've ever got before. It made me happy, but then again, It didn't. It made me feel like people only care about what you look like. I guess that's just how society is.

I was at my locker when Hayes came up to me, saying; "Hey Jordyn, did you want to work on our project today?" He asked me.

"Sure, do you want to-" he interrupted me.

"We can work on it at my house"

"Okay, yeah. That's fine. I'll just have to call my mom" I told him. He nodded.

      . . .

The last bell rung, sending students to quickly leave the classroom before the teachers had something extra to say. I walked with Hayes and McKenna to their lockers, but first, going to my own.

"Bye guys!" Said McKenna. "Jordyn, you looked fab today by the way"

I waved and said "thanks", waiting for Hayes to get his things from his locker.

The both of us walked towards his bus, discussing our project. We stepped on his bus, going to the back, sitting in the same seat.

"Okay, so I was thinking we could-" he stopped as he heard inappropriate comments about the two of us come from two older boys sitting in a seat beside us.

"Shut up, Nash. We're working on a project together!" He said to the boy. The boy ignored him and turned to me.

"Hey, you look familiar" he said to me. I just looked at him.

"What's your name?"

"Jordyn" Hayes spoke for me.

"Let the girl talk, Hayes. I asked her a question, not you"

"Jordyn Black" I told him.

"Ah" he nodded. "You're Tyler's sister" I nodded.

"How'd you know?" I asked him.

"Tyler and I, we're tight! And you look like him"

"That's really offensive" I told him. He just laughed and turned back to his friend whereas I turned back to Hayes.

"Sorry 'bout that, he's my brother" Hayes told me. I nodded.

"Our project needs discussed" Hayes began to say. "I was thinking we could use wooden rods to connect the electrons to and then we can glue together like styrofoam balls and make that the protons and neutrons"

"Yeah, that sounds good. Do you have the material we need to make it?" I asked him.

"I think I have everything. My moms into crafts, so she has like everything" he told me. I smiled and realized we were at his house. We stepped off the bus and entered his house.

4:03 pm

As Hayes and I continued to work in our project, his older brother, as I now know as Nash, walked in with a girl.

"Hey, Emma", Hayes said, turning toward the girl.

"Hey, Hayes", she said with a smile.
