Me: I swear if he does it again..-

Maroon: CAW CAW CAW!

Me: Magic's a owl! Ugh..

    I walked into the lunch room, and got a cheeseburger with fries. I wondered around for awhile, looking for someone I knew. Then it hit me- Taylor- she must be somewhere, right? I finally spotted Taylor. I saw two people walking away from the table, holding hands. Huh.. I sat down and took a bite of my cheeseburger. "You know about that TV show rumored to be filming at the school?" Taylor seemed really excited, and let out a small yelp of excitement. Her face turned a very light shade of pink, putting a hand over her mouth. 

  Taylor cleared her throat. "Heh.. Anyway.. We should all try out for a part!" We all nodded in agreement. "Alright, then. Let's see who's still undecided." Everyone took out their phones, seeing which parts were available. "It looks like.. Stacy, Flash, and Harley Quinn are still up for grabs. It's obvious Maroon will get flash, and Haily will get Harley Quinn. But who do you think will get Stacy..?" 

  After lunch ended, I went to my next class. Period 6: Science with Beast Boy. Sounds fun! I entered the classroom, looking around. It was actually.. Not bad. Mostly clean, each table had two chairs. One for each partner. Only two? Oh boy.. this isn't good. "Good morning, dudes!" Beast Boy said with a cheeky smile, looking around at the students. "Today, of course, you get your cool partners!" The class responded with a long moan. "C'mon, dudes, be excited!" 

  I was paired up with Flare, daughter of Starfire. We exchanged smiles- mine being really dumb since I.. have a crush on her.. "Hello, Maroon." She said, looking at me with her hazel eyes. "Hi.. Flare." I said, smiling awkwardly again. 

  A few minutes later, Beast Boy spoke up above the students. "Sorry to cut this short, dudes, but it seems we've gotten everything done on time!"Everyone paused, looking over at the teacher. "So.. I've decided.. On my own of course.. that i'll let you leave early!" "Really?" A kid said, smiling. "We have 30 minutes left to go.." "Yup. I don't have anything else planned.." The class broke out into laughter. Beast Boy's face turned a shade of red. "Alright dudes, enough! Get out you filthy animals!" He said, smiling. Everyone piled out of the classroom, going in different directions. I headed towards Taylor's 6th period class, Social Studies. Why do they call it that, anyway? I mean it's not much of studying social stuff..

  I sat against the wall next to the door, pulling out my phone and playing virtual checkers with a game-bot. "I swear.. I'm horrible.. Even the game-bots can beat me.." The bell rang, and the kids piled out of the classroom. "Remember kids, page 20 in the book! Restate!" Mr.Rodgers called after the kids. "Eh, it's no use.." His foot steps fading off. "Hey Maroon." Taylor said, helping me up from the floor. "Did you get pushed down..?" "No! I was just waiting for you.. y'know? Beast Boy let us out 30 minutes early.." "30?!" "Yeah, I know. Crazy, right? But of course he would be the one to do something like that." We both laughed, going to 7th period. We both had technology with Mr.Stark, Iron Man! 


 As we walked, Taylor held my hand for just a moment. Just.. one.. Maybe She likes me? No- no it can't be. It was probably just a accident while we were walking.
