Just trying

Rushing from one class to another in a five minute break is not the easiest thing in the world, especially when you still haven't adjusted in the whole high school thing. It's my second year in this school and it's October, and I still haven't got used to this school. Who would have thought that 11th grade would be this hard? The bell just rung signaling all students and teachers to attend their next class. Luckily it's Friday, which means that I'll have a whole weekend to myself to.. study. Thinking about the big test that I'll have to take next week, I go to my next class and sit on my desk.

"Hey Aubrey! What's up?", said Emma.

Emma has been my best friend these last two years, along with Kaitlyn. I've known them both since 1st grade and they had always been best friends, although they have had their ups and downs. 

"Nothing much.", I replied, as the teacher came in. I hate Chemistry, I thought to myself.

The lesson was super boring as always, but I unusually managed to get some answers right on the questions he was asking us in the revision we were doing for next week's test.

When the lesson finally came to an end, it was lunch time. Emma and I went near the cafeteria to meet Kaitlyn. We spotted her in a table and we went and sat with her.

"I freaking hate Chemistry. It's so hard, and I literally don't understand the point of us learning it. And no, Emma, please don't start on how amazing this subject is, I don't want to hear it", I said.

"I wasn't going to say anything", Emma said giggling.

"I know right? Chemistry might be kind of nice, but it's completely useless. Anyways I'm going to stand in line to get something to eat. Who will come with me?", Kaitlyn said.

"I'm coming I'm starving!", said Emma. "Aubrey what do you want us to bring you?"

"Nothing, I'm not hungry.", I lied.

"Are you sure? It has your favorite kind of cake today!", Emma said.

"Yeah I'm sure. Thanks anyways.", I replied.

The girls left and I was by myself. I took my phone out of my pocket and I saw that I had a text from my mom. 

"I'm going to come home late today and your father left this morning for a business trip. He'll be back on Monday, so make sure you make or get something to eat." 

Great, I thought. That was the third time this week that my mom hadn't cooked anything. I undestand she's tired after work, but I'm tired after school but I always get all my chores done. I didn't get angry though. I just typed Okay and pressed send. 

After two minutes, the girls came and sat on the table. I was sitting on the one side and they were sitting on the other side, next to each other as always. I often feel like I'm the third wheel, but I don't say anything about it. Emma got some of that amazing cake and she asked me if I wanted some and I said no. After a couple of minutes of silence, Kaitlyn said to Emma.

"Em, don't you think you should stop eating as much and start eating a bit healthier? Maybe even exercise a bit?"

Emma has always been the "fat" friend. But she doesn't care. She has accepted the way she is and she actually loves her body and wouldn't change it for the world. I'm kind of in the middle, but I'm leaning towards becoming actually fat, which I hate. Kaitlyn has always been the slim one, the "perfect" one. She does dance, and she is really good at it. She's always been thin, and beautiful. She has green eyes and nice brown curly hair. She always managed to stole all the attention, even if she didn't do it on purpose.

"Please, don't start again.", said Emma with a sad and a bit angry face.

Kaitlyn always says that to Emma and she makes her feel bad about herself. I have told her once as well, only for her health. But she never listens, and I don't want to make her feel bad or ashamed. But I don't think she'll ever change, no matter how much Kaitlyn tells her. She always eat too much junk food, and she won't stop eating. After me giving Kaitlyn an angry look telling her to stop, she stopped and they both continued their meals while I was taking a look over my notes for my next class.

"Do any of you girls wanna come over to my place after school and eat proper lunch and maybe watch a movie or something?", said Kaitlyn.

"I can't.", I said. "My mom has made lunch and I think I'm gonna like it.", I continued, lying again.

"Oh, okay. What about you Emma?"

"My mom has grounded me for not replying to my phone, even though I explained to her that it was the signal's fault and not mine.", Em replied.

"Okay guys, great. Leave me. Alone. Again.", said Kaitlyn angrily. 

"Come on, don't be mad, we just can't come.", I said, while I was preparing my bag for my next class. "Anyways, talk to you later girls, I have to go because I have forgotten a notebook in my locker again. Bye!"

"Bye Aubrey!", they said at the same time. 

As I was going towards my locker, the bell rung and most of the students started going to class. When I got my notebook and was about to leave, I noticed Ethan sitting down next to a door. Ethan is probably one of the top 30 most popular kids in my school. Many kids like him, because he seems such a rebel and stuff, but I don't know many things about him. All I know is that he's my age and that he's extremely cute. I mean, brown hair up to his shoulder that he puts in a bun, an earing on his ear and those green eyes, that once you look into, you feel like you're in a garden full of grass and you don't want to get out. Don't you call that attractive?

Since I didn't really want to miss my next class, I didn't think twice and I went straight to it. I wish I had the courage to talk to him, but I don't think he even knows I exist, so I decided to just leave him there, even though he looked sad. I got in the classroom, just before my teacher did. Luckily, he was always late, and I got in time. After he pulled out his book and his notes, he started the lesson.
