The It Girl

Chapter Ten

I get to algebra, actually pretty early. I have about ten minutes before class starts. I walk to my seat and sit down. I get a weird look from the teacher. I think her name is Mrs. Smith.

"Hey Lydia," Mrs. Smith says.
"Yeah," I ask.
"Come here."

I do what she instructed, and I go up to her desk.

"What are you trying to pull? You haven't been in my class all week," she says as her glasses fall a little down her nose and she looks at me with her eyes.

"Nothing. I haven't been at school all week. Could I have my absent work," I reply.

"No. You can't fool me. I know you were here. Bethany told me she just saw you yesterday. Bethany would never lie," she says.

"But! That's not fair. I wasn't here," I say.

"Now Miss. Lydia, go back to your seat," Mrs. Smith says angrily.

"What if I don't," I say frustrated.

"Then you'll go to detention," she says standing up from her seat staring at me.

"Ugh," I groan walking back to my seat. I plop down in my seat.

No wonder I hate this class! Mrs. Smith is a totally bitch! And Bethany! She's the bitchy bitch of them all! How could she do this to me? What did I do to her! I'm just bisexual! There's nothing wrong with it! I like males and females! So, many people are bi. I'm not the only one.

I get out my algebra notebook and I start doing the problems on the board. Okay, come on Lydia. You were super good at Math before this. I figured out all the questions, and I'm actually proud of myself for doing this.

After I finish I turn my paper in, and go back towards my seat. I pass by Bethany's seat, and I fall. I fall face first on the ground. I hear laughter surrounding me. Looking up, I see Bethany and Bianca laughing the hardest. I stand up and I push Bethany. I push her hard, so hard she fall into Bianca, and Bianca falls on the floor with Bethany.
I guess, I hit two bitches with one stone.

I start to walk back to my seat when I hear Bethany screamed, "Ew! The dyke touched me!" I stop and turn around. "Oh I'm a dyke! At least I'm not a slutty bitch who can't keep her legs together but instead let's her best friend's boyfriend sleep with her," I yell. The whole room went silent. She looked at me, like she thought I didn't know.

"I'm not fucking stupid," I say walking back to my seat. As I sit down, Mrs. Smith comes back in. "Class, get back in your seats," Mrs. Smith says. Everyone hurries to their seat. A couple minutes go by, and she releases us to our next class.

The next class went by quickly, actually too quickly. Maybe cause it was Spanish, and I already know Spanish since I used to go to Playa del Carmen (a city in Mexico) every summer for seven years. Oh, I remember one year, Nate and I had a fight and we took a "break", and I was in Mexico. I met this sexy guy there. He was just so yummy. His name was Jesús Lopez, he was at the beach with his brother. Jesús and I had a fling...he also was the one that took my virginity away.

Jesús wasn't like any other guy. He was charming, sweet, and accepted me for being bisexual. He had black hair and tan skin. He wore skinny-but not too skinny- jeans, he either would wear a plan colored shirt, or a white v-neck.

When we kissed, I felt more alive, but no spark. I've only felt a spark when Holly and I kissed. I miss her lips. I miss everything about her.

"señorita lydia," I hear someone says. Only the Spanish teacher calls me that, since she only speaks to her student in Spanish.
"Sí," I reply.
"prestar atención , esto es importante," (Pay Attention, this is important) the teacher says.
"Siento que voy a prestar atención," (I'm sorry I will pay attention) I say softly.
"Debo decir , su español es muy bueno," (I must say, your Spanish is very good) she compliments me.
"Gracias, he conocido española durante siete años," (Thank you, I've known Spanish for seven years) I say.

She smiles at me and goes back to teaching. I look behind me, and I see Bethany staring at me. She rolls her eyes and looks back at the teacher.
