Our days as 8th graders were just starting, and day after day, I was looking forward to language arts. It wasn't so much the class but the people in it. Our table was one of the few who could stand each other and actually have some fun! I finally figured out who Phillip was. At first, I thought he was just some quite smart guy that just sat in class and did work. Then, come to figure out that he was actually pretty fun to be around. The other three people at our table I had already come to figure out in my earlier years of middle school, so really, he was some kind of mystery to me. One I would like to figure out.
Sitting next to me, I had noted how he seemed to be a touchy feely kind of person. Not that he tried to stroke my thigh from time to time, heavens no! But, he would seem to just touch me for no real good reason at all! I shrugged this off as a kind of this is how he acts with everyone kind of thing and really thought nothing of it.
Then, I walk in the door of my regular class and there it is like it wasn't before! The desks were paired in twos and everyone seemed to have a free for all on who to sit next to as long as it was with people you had previously at your table. Naturally, Phillip came and sat next to me flashing one of his smiles he always seemed to throw. I flashed one back, greatful that I wasn't sitting next to a annoying person but a friend.
