Jayla Lewis

i woke up from a dream that was just about to get interesting, typical, that happens everyday.

I forced myself out of bed and made my way over to the kitchen, i could smell something delicious cooking but i knew it wasn't for me. I sat down at the table and placed my chin in the palm of my hands, daydreaming but then my brother snapped me out of my thoughts.

"Hey lil sis, what ya doin'" he asked, placing his plate of freshly made pancakes down on to the table.

"Just mentally preparing myself for school" i sighed, he looked at me and nodded in response but i knew he didn't care.

I pushed myself out of the chair and made some nutella toast, my favorite, then slowly dragged myself to my room to get dressed for school.
I looked in the mirror at my body, i was very curvy and very insecure because of it, i have big thighs, big butt, big boobs, big everything to be honest. I thought i was ugly, nobody told me i was beautiful, not even my own family. They just ignored me like i didn't exist, sometimes they'd say hey and if i was lucky, ask me how i was but they don't care how i am, they never have and never will.

I chucked my school dress on and brushed my thick curly black hair into place and decided to put it into a high ponytail, I then put some mascara on and popped a mint flavored piece of gum into my mouth because i'm too lazy to brush my teeth in the mornings.

I walked through the gates of hell, made my way over to my locker and quickly grabbed what i needed for my art class, i love art because it's pretty much the only thing I'm good at...i think.

I dragged myself to class and waited until we were allowed to go inside. we were finally let in and i chose my seat, right at the front because all the popular kids sat at the back and i felt uncomfortable if i sat there.

Class was about to start until a dark blonde haired white boy walked through the doors, his name was Ash Preston, everyone knew who he was. I didn't like him though, he smoked, went to parties, probably had sex with every girl in our year level and his personality sucked. He made his way to the back to sit with his friends who were also loud and annoying, i rolled my eyes and started drawing a smiley face in my book.

"Can the back row please be quite!!" Our teacher, miss keller yelled in annoyance. This happened everyday, they all snickered and made snide remarks before quietening down.

I felt something hit my back, i turned around and saw that it was a paper ball. I picked it up and threw it back, not caring who threw it or who had taken the time to acknowledge my existence.

Miss Keller started to hand out pieces of paper, she dropped the first one on to my table and continued to give the rest to everybody else. I picked it up and read the title 'art assignment year 11', i then scanned the rest and my eyes stopped at one sentence, it read 'you must work in a pair'

I hated when we had to work in pairs, i have no friends and i know for a fact that Miss K chooses our partners so i have no choice in who to choose. School sucks.

"Okay class, for the rest of this month we are going to be working on this assignment -" she continued to talk but i wasn't listening. i looked out the window and sighed, i daydream a lot and that's probably why i receive low grades and fail most of my classes, but i didn't care.

"Jayla and Ash" i snapped back into reality as soon as i heard my name.

"ah what?" I replied in confusion, miss keller looked at me and shook her head in disappointment.

"You should really pay attention Jayla, i said that you and Ash will be partners for this assignment" i bit the inside of my cheek and turned around to make eye contact with Ash, he had a smirk plastered on his face and i hated it. I sighed and slouched down into my chair.

This sucks, i thought to myself.

Ash preston

Her name is Jayla...i like that

"Ha bro you're stuck with a weirdo, good luck with that" Luke laughed, i gave him an evil glare & then continued to stare at Jayla.

I decided to get up and sit down next to her, she shuffled slightly in her chair and continued to draw in her book.

"What ya drawin'?" I asked, peering at the piece of paper.

"Nothing" she replied, i nodded my head and sat back in my chair.

"So this assignment thing" i spoke, trying to start a conversation but it wasn't working, she turned her head to look at me.

"You suck at making small talk"

"Do not"

"Do to" she smiled for a second then quickly made eye contact with her book again, i smirked and then slouched into my chair.

She was just too cute.

I waited for my school bus to come and pick me up but it's always late. I sighed and kicked a stone that was all by itself, onto the road.

I turned my head to the right and saw Ash and his friends laughing, he was smoking a joint, i think it was a joint. I don't know I'm not a drug addict unlike Ash, he's always smoking something.

Finally my bus arrived, i hopped on and immediately stole the seat right at the front of the bus because i hate sitting amongst other people. I'd rather sit by myself at the front where nobody will judge me than sit in the middle or back where everyone will judge me, or maybe I'm just paranoid.

I grabbed my earphones from my pocket and plugged them into my samsung s6, i hated this phone, samsungs suck and aren't as good as what people say they are. I'd prefer an iphone 6s but apparently they're way too expensive.

I opened Spotify and started to play Milk and Cookies by Melanie Martinez, i loved her music because i can relate to most of her songs.

I noticed that the bus was coming up to my bus stop so i pushed the button to let the driver know i wanted to get off, they stopped and i quickly jumped off the bus, saying thank you on the way out because I'm just so nice.

i can't believe i'm partners with Ash, tomorrow is going to suck... i thought to myself as i made my way home.
