The Pretty Boy's Crush

Single lady

I sit in math class, hating my life and wishing I texted Jason last night. Instead, I ended up watching a bunch of romance movies reminding me of how single I am and how I'll probably be like that forever. I am not as pretty as some of the girls who are hanging off Jason. He's too good for me, he'll never like me, I just need to get over it.

"Alright class, today we are going to learn more about geometry! Open your folders and get ready to take notes!" Mrs. Mathematik says bringing my attention back to her. Honestly, it's hard to keep my attention on the teachers in any class when Jason is swirling around in my mind.

I get out my folder and get a new page open as I start to draw in it as if that is going to help me get good grades in math.

Mrs. Mathematik continues to talk about our new lesson, and I try my best to keep my attention on her, but it's almost impossible.

Of course, when it is all quiet my phone vibrates telling me someone is trying to get ahold of me. I hurry and turn off my phone before the teacher hears it. She gives me a death glare as I mouth the words 'I'm sorry.' She then looks away from me telling me that she won't take my phone this time.

...

After class, I look around to make sure no one's watching as I take out my phone and see who texted me. It was Jason, why's he texting me during class? He was asking me where I sit at lunch. I didn't even know he knew I existed during the school day without me talking to him first. This is amazing, he actually knows that I exist during the day without me waving to him or talking to him before he does.

"I sit at C section lunch at table number four." I text back as I look up and put my phone back in my pocket worried about being caught with my phone out. If students are caught with their phone out, we could get our card signed. One signature means you got a warning, and the second one means that too. It's the third and fourth one you worry about. Those last two get you a referral. Your fourth one also gets you a red card which means you're on probation and aren't allowed to do any of the activities the other kids do. In all three years here, I've never got my card signed.

My phone vibrates again, letting me know that Jason is still texting me. Honestly, what class is he in that he's actually able to text in?

"Cool, I'm in A lunch at the second table" Jason replied as if I was stupid. I already knew where he sits, and I have since the beginning of the year. Where I sit, I have a perfect view of him. Kind of creepy to say, but I can see what he's doing. I always see him sitting with a girl; and after a little investigating, I found out her name was Samuel. Which, in my opinion, is a guy name. Thankfully, I don't have her in any of my classes, that I know of. If she was in any of my classes, I think I would kill her for being around Jason so much and always touching him. Wait, that's really weird, I'd probably just death stare at her all the time.

All the other girls say that they're exes, but exes don't hang out like that. They don't sit next to each other at lunch and talk the whole time. I guess that they could still be friends, but that doesn't sound right to me either.

"Want to sit with me?" He texts as I blush a light red getting worried. If I get caught at a table that I'm not assigned to, I could get my card signed and then my mother would kill me. Of course, this is also a once in a lifetime thing, what if Jason never asks me to sit with him again? I guess I should take this chance, I don't want to look like a goody-two-shoes anyway, even though that's what I am.

Is it worth it?
