tic tac

School.

At home I'm the annoying little brat. I act totally different at school. That second when my brother drops me off, I enter the shy, nerdy girl. It's like I'm walking into a whole new me. I have one friend. Her name is Alex. We always walk to math class together. She's very smart. You can ask her any question in any subject and she can answer it.
    My first period is science. Although I don't learn anything new, the class is still fun because everybody passes letters.
    As lunch happens, there's always so much drama. Dating. Cheating. Bulling. Cussing. Fighting. I'm lucky to have a table. But....it's next to the trash can. The 'populars' or as I call them, Bee's, get any chance to make everybody like them. They always raise their hands in class but have no idea what their talking about. Most of them are blondes. All of them wear makeup.
    Today, lunch is corndogs or pizza. I've heard rumors that the cafeterias pizza is made from human sweat and horse ass. One time I found a fake nail in my taco meat.
   As I sit down with Alex, one of the 'bee's' comes and sit's down by her. Her name is Jamie. She's in 7th grade and is considered the queen bee. She has light brown hair and bright, blue eyes. She can do anything she wants because her mom funds the school. Jamie can get any guy to like her by just looking pretty. She has her flattery but we have the brains.
   "Hey....-" she stares at us looking confused.
    "It's Alex." Alex murmurs.
   "Well anyways, can I copy your math homework?"
    "Umm..sure." Alex hands Jamie the stack of brilliance. Alex's face is blushing. Jamie's facial expressions make me want to laugh.
   Suddenly, I get a pit in my stomach when I see the cutest boy in school. His name is Jackson and he looks like a gift from heaven. He has brown hair and brown eyes and is tall. He's walking toward our table by the trash can. I can't believe my eyes right now. His hair is flapping in the distance and he's looking around continuing to walk toward my direction.
   "Hey Jamie!" He smilies with braces on his teeth.
   "Oh hey Jackson." Jamie continues to write.
   I look at his beautifully face. He's sitting down. He looks around and we make eye contact. One..two..three..four.. then I look away. Four seconds! I locked eye contact with Jackson for FOUR seconds!
   Suddenly my stomach flops after I though about what just happened. I look at him then at my food. I'm gonna barf I say to myself. I can feel my lunch rising and ready to launch. My hearts pounding. My face is probably getting green. It's happening, I'm going to barf on my crush. I gag. Then I see Jackson with a curious look on his face.
    "Are you okay?!" Jackson asks.
    Just then, I throw up all over Alex's math homework and Jackson's shoes. I can see everybody in the school looking at me barfing.  Everybody is now gasping. After I'm done I look up. With chunks of barf all over me and Jackson, everybody starts laughing. Crying, laughing. Jackson looks at me in disgust and walks to the bathroom to clean it up. I do the same as well.
   I look back and see Alex and Jamie both laughing at me. What an embarrassment. Now I'm even weirder than the kid who tries to stick french fries up his Nose.
   I think to myself, the trash can was by me why didn't I just barf in there. Either way still wouldn't of gotten made fun of.
