Breaking up with Jaime Schmidt

Chapter 4 - The (awkward) Seating

Monday rolled around to soon. Reg and Thomas were talking more, which was good for them, but not so much for me. It meant I was being pushed away, and I realised that's what happened the first time they were friends. What do I do? Nothing... Exactly.

I got dressed as quickly as possible and ran to my locker to meet Thomas, who to my surprise was there, alone.

"Where's your boyfriend?" I asked with a smirk.

"Haha, very funny! And honestly, I don't know... Ready for history?" He asked.

"Not at all, but now or never, am I right?" I asked with a laugh.

"Oh! I don't know if Reg mentioned, but we have history all day today, controlled assessment prep or something." He said before walking into the classroom.

"Urghhh.. You couldn't have mentioned this before?" I asked, dragging my feet as I walked into the classroom.

I went and sat down, and for ten minutes we didn't have a teacher. Honestly that was the best ten minutes of my life! Paper flying all over, a bitch fight happened at the front of the class, I got so many flirty glances from Jaime and at some point a chair flew across the room.

Then the teacher walked in.

BRAND NEW TEACHER!!!

Fuck yesss!!

This meant we would have a 'getting to know each other' session until at least lunch. then we'd get on with whatever the hell we were meant to be doing.

Our new history teacher was tall and skinny, with black hair. Honestly he kind of looked like Reg. Not too much though, like Our new teacher was really skinny, where as Reg was muscular ect. But I'm not gay, and I can honestly say, he was one of the most handsome men I've ever seen in my life. Luckily I wasn't the only one who thought this, because all of the girls seemed to straighten up and blush in sync. All of the except Jaime.

And that was it. I started to feel bad for it. For all of it.

"Hey, My name's Mr. Hadford. I know we're meant to be doing Coursework today, but I'm new and though we could have a little get to know each other session before we start, I mean, we do have history for the rest of the week, so we won't run out of time. Can you get your chairs into a circle and sit down please?" He said so very fast, and with a weird twang of a welsh accent to his voice.

"The whole week? You said one day!" I pretty much shouted at Thomas.

"Sorry?" He apologized, starting to run away.

"Yeah! You better be!" I said, beginning to chase him.

Everyone in the class started laughing, even Mr. Hadford for a second or two.

"Ah, we have the class clowns." He said.

"Excuse me, what's your name?" He asked.

"Er, Thomas." Thomas replied.

"Right, well I want you to sit here." Hadford said, pointing to a place next to his.

"I didn't do anything." He said.

"And you?"

"Kyle! Nice to meet you!" I said, still laughing slightly and smirking.

"Honored, Mr class clown part 2, I'd like you to sit over there." He said, pointing to a seat across the room, but stupid idea, I can still talk to Thomas from across the room. I sat down, stretched my legs out and crossed them, I'd have put them up if there was a chair.. I leaned back on my chair and crossed my arms, I was pretty relaxed, Hadford however, wasn't.

I sat and smiled for a second. Thomas really made me smile. He and Reg are the only people I can be myself around them 100%, and sometimes, when I'm only concentrating on them, I turn into my unfiltered self in public. I had been called many things, especially by teachers, but never the class clown.

Hadford put us in near enough a seating plan, Luckily Reg was sat next to me. Unluckily, Jaime was sat at the other side.

This is how it went down.

"You, sat down, what's your name?" Hadford asked.

Reg looked up from whatever it was he was doing, looked around, just to made sure then stood up and jumped over the table. Reg can be quite dramatically funny at times and it does really annoy me that he doesn't do drama.

"Why me? I'm Reginald Jensen, But you can call me Reg." He said, whilst bowing.

There were only 2 seats left, both next to me. I just smiled because he was the last person to be seated.

"Really? Class clown part 3? Is it an act? Coincidental? or are you all friends?" Hadford asked

"Take your pick." Reg and I said at the same time as he sat down.

"Friends, lovely."

"Sick of us already sir?" Thomas asked.

"Er-"

The door opened.

"Sorry, I walked out just as you came, needed to pee, Oh! Circle time, what is this, Nursery?" She asked, and the whole class burst out in laughter, only just after settling down.

I smiled, I couldn't help it. That! That is the Jaime I like. Funny and sarcastic, but not in too much of a horrid way.

"Great another one." Hadford mumbled to himself and I had to stop myself from laughing straight at him.

"What's your name?" He asked.

"Jaime, and yours?" She asked.

"Mr. Hadford." He replied.

"No, If you're being like that, them I'm Miss. Schmidt. What's your name?" She asked and crossed her arms.

"Elliot, Sit down over there!" He said really quickly and quite disappointed in himself. He also pointed at the seat next to me.

Thomas and Reg, who were also sat leaning back on there chairs suddenly sat up straight with amused looks of their faces.

I quickly punched Reg in the arm and glared at Thomas while shaking my head.

As Jaime sat down, They both burst out in laughter, as if it was practiced. Thomas even fell off of his chair and Reg almost did.

"What?" Hadford asked.

"Right." I said standing up. I coughed, 'cleared my throat', for dramatic effect.

"I suppose I'll introduce first, Elliot. My name is Kyle Summers, This is my roommate and best friend, Reginald Jensen, as you know. That's my other best friend Thomas Shelley. These two have only recently gotten back friends because they fell out years ago, AND I STILL DON'T KNOW WHY! This is Jaime Schmidt, she's my ex. We were going out for like 10 years, but we broke up. Very recently actually, last Thursday to be exact. And no, she did not break up with me, I broke up with her. Then, she got upset and told me she would do anything to 'get me back'. That's why these two are laughing like fucking hyenas and why I feel very awkward right now. You're now caught up on my life, and the recent gossip of the school. There you go. NOW YOU CAN SHUT UP!" I shouted at Thomas and Reg, who were still laughing.

I sat back down, Thomas and Reg still hadn't stopped laughing, Jaime put her hand on my knee, like she used to do to calm me down. I moved it off me, then my attention was drawn to Hadford, Who had also joined the boys in laughing at me.

Urggg.. I mean it's nice to have a teacher who's not to strict, but I do not! I repeat do not! Want another Reg or Thomas, Which I do in fact, seem to have...
