The Wall We Built

Chapter 23

We made it to school just in time to make it into first hour without being late.  Mr. Byers the sub almost marked us late but he didn't.  All throughout science Oliver and I whispered back and fourth about the camp trip and about how his parents were going to call my dad today during school.

Multiple times during the teacher kept telling us to stop talking... Today was pretty chill though we were just watching a stupid video about and I'm pretty sure Oliver and I weren't the only ones talking.

"Ugh I just want this class to over already."  I said that kind of loud and bushed.

"Yeah but if we leave then we wont be able to talk all class."  I was trying to be funny and I rolled my eyes and smiled at him. 

Right as he finished talking the bell rang and we went to our second hour class.  Third hour we have together also... Third hour is tech... which we have a lot of fun messing around in. 

"Hey Lydia wait up."  Gabby came running after me.  We have algebra together... which is most days the worst ninety minutes of my life.  Either she is complaining about how she thinks she is really ugly and will never find anyone or she is complaining about other things in life.

"Hi."  I didn't even make eye contact.  "You ready for the test today?" I shouldn't have even asked... right that second she started complaining about how she wasn't ready because Mr. Peterson is a terrible teacher.

"No... I'm never ready for tests... Mr. Peterson never explains or helps me with any of the homework or what we are working on."  I was not in the mood.

"Stop gabby... I'm not in a good mood today... I don't want to listen to you complain about how your life sucks everyday."  I was about to turn around but then I continued before she could say anything. "And don't say... 'Soorrry that I have an opinion.' or something stupid like that... Because I don't care."  I rolled my eyes and walked to class. 

....................

It was the end of the day and wow Friday... I am so ready to go camping with Oliver and everyone.  This week went by really fast.

As I was walking to my bus someone ran up behind me and hugged me from behind.  I took a deep breath and knew instantly who it was....  Oliver. 

"Hey... I have to get on my bus but I will text you later."  As I turned around and began walking Oliver grabbed my hand and said "you are not getting on that bus."

"Huh and why not." I shot him a playful smile.

"Because its Friday and we have a camping trip to prepare for." Before I could say anything he looked at me and said... "Yes it is okay with your dad that you come home with me after school to prepare... Now lets go we are wasting daylight!!"
