Right Out of Middle School

Christmas break

She was that girl in the corner, think rimmed glasses. Everybody laughed every time she passed us. Always came last, no one ever kissed her.(new kids on the block  with their song Remix)

I was singing in the shower when I heard a knock at my bathroom door.

   " Hey! Would you hurry up? I need to take a shower too and the family is going to be here in an hour! Hurry up!" My older brother,Dimitri,yelled at me. He's so impatient I thought. I turned off the shower and my music, wrapped a towel around me and ran out of the bathroom and into my room. I decided on wearing a red and black flannel with a white tank top to go underneath. I threw on some dark blue skinny jeans with red vans and went to blow dry my hair.

"Grandpa! So nice to see you!" I said, for probably the hundredth time tonight. It's Christmas Eve and all of my family came to give gifts to the kids. Once everyone was here my mother called all of the kids out from the den to go to the living room.

   " Dimitri! Seth! Brooklyn! Rylie! Michelle! Anna! Get your presents!" I heard my mom scream at all of us. We all rushed in, leaving our very serious and competitive game of Mario Cart going, and sat on the floor for our presents. We all got different presents like blankets and gift cards. After I put out cookies and milk for Santa( do not judge me we had a lot of little kids over) I hopped onto bed, excited for what would happen in the morning.

( Next day)

I was woken by the sound of my father running up and down the hallway obnoxiously banging pots and pans screaming " joy to the world" at the top of his lungs. He ran into my room, jumped on my bed like a 5 year old.

   " Wake up! It's Christmas" My father screamed in my ear.

   " I'm up! I'm up! Get off of me!" I told my father as I pushed him off of on top of me. We woke my sister the same way and walked down stairs and sat down on the couches. We opened up many presents when I suddenly got to one that was in a red box with a black bow. I turned it over to see that the tag said 

To: Michelle

From: Your Secret Admire

I don't have a secret admire! I slowly opened the box to see a ring that had my birth stone,garnet, as the stone. I saw some writing on the inside of the ring. It said be mine. There was a note on the inside of the box. It said be mine? Will you?

   " What did you get?" Anna excitedly said looking down at the box in my hand.

   " Nothing, nothing at all." I said putting the present aside. The rest of Christmas flew by as my mind was else where. Who would have gotten me a ring? I ended the day with a mountain of present that I loved. After the Christmas buzz died down we all sadly had to go back to school. The first day back I wore the ring on my finger with a cute red and black outfit and went to school. When Emily picked me up she freaked out.

   "Where did you get it?" Emily asked as she inspected it. Emily always loved jewelry.

   " I actually don't know." I said as a launched into the story about how I found the ring under the tree and how I didn't know who it was from. She didn't believe me at first but after a lot of convincing I finally got her on board with the whole mystery.  Walking into school, many people were looking at my hand and the ring the laid on my finger. It was rather creepy.

"You all have lives, now keep out of mine." i aid int the crowd of people. Most of the students looked away immediately when I caught them staring. After that madness, The day went bye in a blur until chorus class came.

   " Ok class, we got a new kid. His name is Sal." Mrs. Rayborn said. All of our heads, including mine and Masons, snapped up from our binders to look at this new kid. He was tall with short black hair. He looked Hispanic and was built under his lose red t-shirt and light blue jeans. He was cute, that's for sure.

   " Sal you are going to be sitting next to Ms. Diaz! Michelle, raise you hand!" My teacher said. I raised my hand. Sal came and sat beside me. I now realized he had green eyes that had light blue highlights. Interesting.

   " Take a pichure it will last longer." He said smirking. He must have caught me staring. I turned redder then a watermelon.

   " Oh shut up! I'm Michelle!" I said extending my hand. He firmly shook it with a smile.

   " I'm Sal. I heard that your last name is Diaz, that's actually mine too!" Sal said.

   " Really! Do you speak Spanish at all?" I asked Sal. He gave me a devilish kind of smile for a stupid reason.

   " sí, Vos si?" Sal asked me. ( Yes, do you?)

   " Por supuesto que sí! Mi alpellido es Diaz después de todo!" I told Sal. I could tell we were going to be good friends! (Of course I do! My last name is Diaz after all!) We talked and talked all class.

   " What is your favorite book series?" I asked questionly.

   " The Giver series. Next the Harry Potter series." Sal said looking me in the eyes. He looked at me like he has known me for years! The bell rang but we didn't hear it. We just sat there looking at each other. The late bell rang as well. We got passes and left the choir room to our next classes.

   " That's my favorite too. The books." I said looking at the floor. He lifted my chin to look at him. He smiled.

   " I thought you would. So are you excited for your birthday this month?" He asked me. I jumped back. How does he know my birthday is this month?

   " I saw your ring. It's a garnet stone. The stone for January." He calmly said.

   " I actually have no idea who gave me this ring. I got it for Christmas with nothing but a note that said be mine, will you? It sucked. I really want to know who got it for me..." I said trailing off, Sal had walked me to my language arts class room.

   " Bye, see you soon, I guess." I said before I looked into his eyes and couldn't leave. I opened the door and walked to give my teacher my pass in a haste. I sat down next to Eli who looked at me like I had my head cut of my shoulders. I will tell you later I mouthed to her. We heard the lunch bell and left to go to the cafeteria. 

   " So why were you late!?" Eli asked me. I launched into the whole story of Sal and me meeting and how he was super nice and like the same books as me. When I was done I was so out of breath you would have thought I ran a marathon.

   " OMG you have Mason and Sal! You are in a love triangle! MAL! The ship is there!!!!!!!!!!!"Eli screamed at the top of her lungs! I hid my face from everyone and rubbed my forehead in frustration. What am I going to do with her I thought. The lunch bell rang and I jumped out of my seat and ran to the classroom. That class ended with Elizabeth teasing me about Mal, which was great I might add. I headed to math class to tell Amara everything. When I got in there I saw Amara and Lenora on opposite side of the class room not looking at each other. Goodness me. I walked over to Lenora when she told me that Amara and her were having a fight and how she thinks she might break up with Amara.

   " Can you tell Amara for me. I do not have the heart to tell her face to face." Lenora asked me. I shook my head no and told her that this was something she needed to do. I have her a big hug as the class started. I left Lenora's desk and went over to Amara's. I was heart broken for my best friend. I gave her a small smile and turned to the front, listening to my math teacher. I left as soon as it was over, thinking about many things.

So that Happened. Yep. I haven't wrote in so long. Tell me in the comments who you think got her the ring!!!! Comment, vote, follow you know the drill. Bye for now my puppies. Love yah
