Ordinary People [DISCONTINUED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE]

OP - One

"I'm over here, boo!" I hear from across the cafeteria. People stop eating to see who's yelling.

"Girl, I hear ya!" I shout back. Once people realize it was just me and my obnoxious best friend they go back to eating.

When I get to our table I sit down. "Ayeee, Ess."

"Boo, you will not believe what happened today!" Vanessa, or Ess as I call her, tells me.

"What?" I raise my eyebrows expectantly.

Vanessa gives me a pointed look. I sigh and start drumming on the table for a few second and the look to Vanessa.

"Bruce talked to me!" She squealed in excitment.

"Ohhh, what did you guys talk about?" Bruce has been Ess' crush since 7th grade. That's a while considering we are juniors as of the moment.

"Well..." Ess looks at me smiley sheepishly. "It went like this; I was walking into school and saw him behind me so I held the door for him. As he passed through he smiled, smiled, and said 'thanks'."

I rolled my eyes at my friend. "Are you serious, Ess. That's not talking, hell that's not even greeting."

"Yes, I know, but it was just..." She stopped, dreamily, "it was magical."

"Okay, but you are just.." I trailed off as Ess started to frown. "You are stupid."

What can I say, we're best friends, and best friends tell each other the truth.

"Alma, why are you so mean to me?" Ess says in fake exsaperation.

"You know what? I'll just leave." Es pretends to cry as I get up and go to a random, crowded, table.

I sit down and the people at the table look up. I happened to sit at the cliche table with the football players.

"Guyyyyys..." I say and look at all of their faces.

"Vanessa is being a bitch." I fake pout.

They laugh. I've done this before. Jake starts to look at my table but I slap him on the head.

"What are you doing Jake! Do you want to get us caught talking about Vanessa?"

I hear a gasp and slowly turn around, trying not to laugh as Ess forces a hurt expression on her face.

"How dare you?" She demands and starts walking to the middle of the cafeteria. I quickly get up and follow her with fake regret.

"Babe, I'm sorry! I didn't mean it, it was all Jake's fault!"

We're in the middle of the cafeteria by now and everyone is enjoying the show. I drop to my knees for dramatic effect.

"Please forgive me, my love." I almost smile and I can tell Ess does too.

"I don't know, how could I ever trust you again!" She puts her hand on her heart, "you broke my heart and this isn't the first time!"

"I've told you already, she was a mistake." People start laughing, I can actually hear the lunch ladies chuckling.

"A mistake is losing your keys!" Ess says.

"But love is being with you!" I'm telling you this made it so hard not to laugh.

"I'll buy you a wrap." I say.

Ess cheerfully speaks. "Okay!"

We hug and then grab hands and bow.

After lunch I made my way to class. I was in art and today we were supposed to paint something that means a lot to us. So I painted a world. Then I put the word happiness 'inside' the world.

Happiness in the world.

Next I secretly did another painting. I painted poop. I know what you're thinking. I actually did the poop like the emoji or how you would draw frosting on a cupcake.

I was called to the front of the class to tell about my drawing. I put the poop painting in front so no one saw the other one.

Everyone laughed when they saw my painting.

"Something that has importance to me is my very best friend, Ess. Or Vanessa as you may know her by."

Mr. Gareth started laughing because I had painted Vanessa as poop. I even started laughing, I couldn't help it.

"I put the painting behind my real one. Sorry, Mr. Gareth. I did two paintings. Anyways what I actually did was a world with the word happiness written inside of it. This was supposed to represent the importance of 'happiness in the world'."

"That was a great painting, Alma. Exellent job on the world, looks awesome." Mr. Gareth said.

"Thank you." I bow and hold the end of my invisible dress.

At the end of class I saw many different things, from footballs and cats to trees and moms.

Anyways, after art I went to my last class of the day (yay!!!) and it went well. Not really. There was a substitute who didn't have a sense if humor so Ess and I have detention.

So here I am, in detention, bored out of my mind! But, luckily, Mr. Gareth was the teacher that had to deal with detention today. And because he is a cool teacher, he let us have our phones out. This mean't that Ess and I were snap chatting each other with filters.

She sent me a picture with the jungle background that gave you a hat and glasses and captioned it 'looking for the booty like'.

So I did the one that put petals around your face, making you look like a flower, and captioned it 'flower power'.

So then we just ended up sending a whole bunch of double chin photos.

"You girls do realize I can see you making faces when you take those pictures of yours." I heard Mr. Gareth say.

We weren't the only ones in detention but everyone knew who Mr. Gareth was talking to.

"Come here Mr. Gareth." I said to him.

He walked over as I put on the face swap filter.

"Put your head in the circle and it will switch our faces. When it does make faces so that we look weird. The weirder the better."

By the time detention was over, Mr. Gareth had used all of the filters on my phone. Ess and I even got him to get snap chat. And of course we added him.

Now, we were in Ess' car on the way to the store.

She turned on the radio and ex's and oh's came on. So of course we screamed our lungs out, getting stares at stoplights and all that.

"EX'S AND OOOH'S..."
