Can't Get Him Off My Mind

"Michelle! Alyiza!" I exclaim with joy. "Esmé," they both say cheerfully as they close in for a group hug. What's with everyone and group hugs today? "I see you are finally wearing your new glasses," Michelle points out. "Yes, yes I am," I try to say confidently. I really don't like my glasses. They make me look even nerdier than I usually do. "Forget the glasses," Alyiza says a little bossily, "lets take a look at those braces." Not my braces. Ughhhhh I'm glad I only have to wear these 1 year. I smile a big smile so they can see my braces. "What color is that," Michelle questions. "Lavender," I say plainly. "It's so pretty," Alyiza says enthusiastically. "Yeah, I may get that color next month," Michelle says equally as enthusiastic. There's the bell. I guess I better go get my things and make my way to class. "See y'all later," I say as I give them both a hug.

Since I don't have homeroom today then it's straight to Mr. Feign's class. I actually enjoy this class. There aren't very many students, I make good grades, and I get to listen to my music. I wonder what I'll be doing today. "Esmé," Terra says as she comes up the hall. "Hey Terra," I say happily, "you seem mighty happy." "I am," she says as her smile grows wider. "What's got you so happy," I ask curiously. "I'll tell you when we get in the classroom," she says seriously. I wonder what she's gonna tell me. Whatever it is must be good news for her to be in such a good mood.
