Trying To Be Friends

*Artemis's POV*

I have keep on trying to become friends with everyone. So now that we have new students, I have to try and become friends with them to. Including the new boy, Andrew Grant. He seems pretty ok so he is neutral on the "Hey Guess What, I'm Might Be an Asshole" list. So I don't know yet. Guess I gotta try.

So I decide to stalk this new boy Andrew Grant kid around you know?? Like to see if he really deserves to be put onto the asshole list. But it wasn't really stalking. It was more stalking from a distance so you look normal and not as creepy as a stalker. So I'm looking at my phone chuckling at all the lame ass derpface pictures of Andrew I got when I suddenly bump into some kid. Who is that some kid?? It's the sort of new punk Andrew Grant. And I sort of yelled,"Fuck you!"at his face. Talk about a big oops. He kinda looks shocked now. Not that I can blame him. I probably would be pissed if someone yelled that to my face too. And probably even more than what he looks like now. He seems pretty ok looking so I start to check him out. Tall? Eh. Beefy? Eh. Cute and not innocent? Definitely not. "I've seen you before person." Definitely yes. Something wrong with him? Uh huh. So he's looking at me like "smirk are you done checking me out yet??"

I just stare at him like what's your fucking problem boy?? You don't like it when a girl is trying to judge you by checking you out?? Huh? You got a problem with that?? Do ya do ya do ya?? Well since when do I give a damn. Anyway I've come to the conclusion that he's definitely a baka (Japanese for idiot in case you didn't know)

So I'm standing here ready to break into an argument trying to remember the sarcastic comebacks and insults I read but I can't seem to find any in my stupid head.

Then Nagisa comes and ruins the beautiful moment of a staring contest and is like, "You guys going to blink soon cause you're both scaring me! But... never mind keep doing what you are doing. It's fun to watch you."

And at this point I'm like you little ama. Why are you ruining the moment?? Huh?! And I just give up and walk away but a hand grabs me. Actually two hands. One is Nagisa's and one is Andrew's.

Andrew said, "I'm not done talking to you, you bitch. Give me all of the pictures you took with your phone."

Nagisa just death stares him while he gives his speech and suddenly I realize that a monster is going to come out. And I chuckle to myself "Oh Andrew you are so dead. Nagisa starts her rant with something I did not expect. "You fucking man whore perverted bastard!!! Did I give you permission to talk to my friend that way?? I didn't think so. So get you grubby hands off of her arm or I swear I will make your life miserable and you will regret everything you did today. Got it boy?? And I clear?? Huh?? I can't hear you, you sir. ANSWER ME?!"

Now I was just super taken aback by this I laughed so hard I could've sworn I was crying. So I just punched Andrew on the face across his cheek and pulled my arm out of his grasp and walked away with Nagisa before she tied him to a stake to killed him. I dragged her away from the situation and we walked to class.

"Nagisa! Are you out of your mind?! Screaming such rude words to Andrew. You are ASB!! I can't believe you! You can get a write up for that! You will be kicked out of ASB." I screamed at her in complete anger. I was going to be so mad later. Nagisa stared at me blankly as if she completely forgot about ASB and the "No swearing rule." Like give me a break. How does she forget. She is the most responsible person in our class.

Lunch Time:

I walked over to where Andrew was sitting and sat down next to him. He stared at me in shock as I opened my mouth to speak to him. " So I never answered your command. Would you like me to do it now?"

"Yes. I would highly appreciate that." He responded. I pulled out my phone and began to erase all the photos when he found one. One. One he liked. "Don't delete that one." He commanded to me. It was a cute photo. Kinda stupid but cute. Our foreheads were touching, and we were both looking down at the phone screen in my hand. I kept that one and texted it to him after he gave me his number. I erased the rest and shut off my phone. We chatted a little till lunch was over, he seemed ok. I guess when you are not stalking him and pissing him off, he is a pretty chill guy. Well by himself. With his friends, he is still the jerk I think I know. Honestly I hardly know him though.

7:59 PM:

Now only if he would stop spamming my poor phone. I wish I could just block his number but I can't. Dammit. I yell/texted him to shut up. Well it obviously didn't work cause he is still texting me. Screw this. I'm just going to shut my phone off. Then I won't have to listen to my phone ring every other second.

One Hour Later...

I turn my phone back on and I see about 600 messages waiting for me. 14 of them from Andrew and the rest from my class group chat. I closed my phone and walked downstairs to go and make my lunch.

When I returned, I grabbed some underwear, a sports bra, and shorts and left to take a nice warm shower.

After:

Back in my room I flopped down onto my bed and pulled out my laptop from my backpack. It was a class requirement to have one at all times. It was such a bitch. That meant that my computer had to be brought every single damn day. And charged too. I hated it. It was a new rule created this school year and well, it sucked. I pulled open my Facebook and started to see a whole bunch of posts and messages from my friends. Some were from my boyfriend, Adidas Sand Quaker. Me and him got together a month before school started. I had been thinking about dumping him recently however but I feared it since well I didn't want to break his heart. I wasn't in love with him anymore and we haven't seen each other in weeks. Our love was dying. He told me he loved me. I did back. But it was all meaningless crap. I am just waiting now for a reason to dump him. I will have to wait for one I guess. I ignored his message. All it said was "Ily. C u later" Not even worth reading or replying to.

I fell asleep and my computer shut off.
