Three:

When I sat on the bus that morning I was drawing mindlessly in my notebook with my earphones in, playing Green Day. I rested my head uncomfortably on the palm of my hand while I was halfway paying attention to my drawing. I ended up drawing a little Chibi person that looked like Nikki Sixx, which made no sense seeing as how I expected I would draw Billie Joe.

I got off the bus once it stopped and walked down the sidewalk to my locker. I was aware that no one was on that side of the school except about, two people. I got to my locker and pulled out my binder then closed it and turned to walk to class. I saw Andy a few lockers away, leaning against the wall with his earphones in. He had on a black zip up hoodie that had a white zipper, a white tee shirt with a black rosary hanging from his neck and dark grey jeans. I turned and walked the other way to gym.

I sat at the top of the bleachers in the corner by the door. I sat with my earphones in, trying my best to ignore everyone. I just so happened to looked over at the door to see Andy walking in, and then coming up to the bleachers to sit at the top of the bleachers opposite from me, with his earphones in, too. I don't think he noticed me.

Shrugging, I turned my head and looked down at my notebook and doodled a little on the cover. When I looked back up I felt like someone was watching me so I looked over at Andy when he looked over at me. He smirked and waved, and I gave a short one back. Glancing over his shoulder breifly, he got up to come sit down by me.

"Hey," he said. I nodded.

"Hey."

He pulled out his phone and changed the song before he rested his head back on the wall. I didn't feel awkward sitting there with him, and he didn't seem to, either. We just sat there with our earphones in, alike in that way.

We sat there and then the bell rang for class to start. I dreaded today because we were starting a volley ball unit and I swear they were all out to get me. I slowly and lazily got up.

Well gym passed painfully. I had ended up getting hit in the face twice, yelled at to 'participate' by the teacher, which I really couldn't care less about, and then got hit in the stomach with the ball. This day really wasn't working out for me.

Once I had made it back into the hallway, I practically ran to my class. A group of jocks and preps were after me, attempting to beat me up. I think I broke one of the jocks nose. I heard them slow and turn away as I walked into my class.

I sat there while the teachers voice faded almost completely in the back of my mind. She was just going over stuff I already knew. By the time class was over, I was almost asleep.

I got up and walked out side, going to stand behind the school. No one was there but me and a couple making out vigorously. Gag.

I pulled out my earphones and put them in, and turned my music up, leaning my back against the wall. I looked down at my foot tapping to the best of my music, then looked back up at the grey sky.

I saw the silhouette of someone walking around the corner if the school and I looked over at Andy. I cracked a small smile when he waved once and walked over, his earphones in and his hands pushed into his front pockets.

"What's up?" he asked when I pulled out my left earphone.

"Eh. Ignoring all the douche bags," I said, playing with the wire. Andy nodded and crossed his arms over his chest as he leaned his back against the wall, beside me.

"Hey, what are you listening to? I can almost hear it," he asked with a smirk. I handed him my earphones and phone. He took his out and put mine in.

"What about you?" I asked.

He looked over at me with a smirk and handed me his phone and earphones. I put them in and played his playlist came on.

"Awesome," I said smiling.

We stood there, listening to each other's music until the bell rang, and we swapped phones back and went inside. I parted and walked into math. I took a seat in the back and crossed my arms over my chest, looking pointedly at the board. The teacher talked about fractions and stuff and I just sat there silently, occasionally drawing on the desk.

By the time I had gotten to fourth and then to lunch I thought I was going to punch a hole through a wall. I got a sandwich and a bottle of water and ate it quickly, the walked outside with my water bottle.

It was cold, but I preferred the cold over the humidity any day. I pulled my jacket sleeves down and took a drink from my water, then shivering because the cold water made me colder. I closed it's set it under a bench beside me.

I looked up at the clouded sky. A sharp breeze blew at my face, making goose bumps rise on the pale skin. It felt good, the cold.

By the time I had gone in I was already anticipating leaving. I could just see it, leaving this hell they call school.

I walked to my science class hesitantly. We had a test today that I didn't study for and was probably going to flunk. Big time. I took my seat and drummed my fingers nervously on the desk as I took interest in the flickering light in front of me.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Andy walk in. He looked a little nervous, most likely about the test. It was going to be forty percent of our grade. He took his seat, casting a quick glance at me before looking back. I continued my mindless drumming.

"Class, we have a test today," the teacher informed us once again. I groaned silently as did Andy. "And hopefully, you all studied." He said that while looking back at me.

While the teacher passed out the test, a folded piece of paper landed on my desk by my hand. I looked over at Andy who was looking away innocently. I lifted the paper and opened it.

It was a drawing of what looked like a fat gorilla with weird teeth and a pink tutu and a tiny penis that had a snake head. And at the side it said 'Mr.A.' I couldn't keep my laugh in when I looked down to see it signed by Andy. I looked over at him and mouthed the words 'you're so mean' while trying not to die of laughter. He gave me an in innocent look before laughing too.

After that exchanged, we were handed our test and we worked on them till the end of class. Andy and I were done, and I was tapping my pencil against my leg to a song that was stuck in my head while Andy drew on the desk. When the bell rang, we both jumped up and were the firsts out the door.

My last two classes lasted too long for my enjoyment. But by the time I got out I was fine.

I walked down the sidewalk to the bus area and leaned ago at the wall, my earphone in and my arms crossed. I tried turning my music up because it wasn't loud enough.

When my bus got here I got on, and took a seat that was away from mostly everyone that sat in the back.

I looked out the window. It had started raining. I watched cars roll by and people run to their vehicles from Kmart.

Once I got home I took off my wet jacket and threw it on the couch as I made my way to the kitchen. I grabbed some food, greeted my parents then fell down into the couch with my chips. After I had pretty much devoured a whole bag, I set it on the table and went up to my room to work on my homework. Ech.

It took an hour out of my life for me to finish it then I had the freedom to lay back and fall asleep to my music playing loudly in my ears. Only, unfortunately, my insomnia decided to kick in then and I laid there starring at the ceiling in the dark until about midnight when I did fall asleep.
