Chapter 4: I'd Love More Food

Chapter 4: I'd Love More Food

I take a seat next to Jim. Faith has an assigned seat three rows down. I wiggle my pencil making the illusions of a rubber pencil. I feel a light punch on my shoulder, "What's with you today?" Jimmy question.

"What do you mean?" still distracting myself.

"I mean you're not yourself today." He sounded worried.

" I'm fine, I promise I just feel a little down today that's all." I  shrugged.

"I don't believe you. Tell me seriously what's wrong with you" Now he's frustrated.

"I...I don't know Jimmy I just.. I don't.. This test is making me stressed." I grunt.  My hands start to fidget. Jimmy stops me and grads my cheeks. His bright blue eye narrow into mine.

"Sam you're stuttering, did you take your pills?" he whispers.

"No." I frowned

"That's why you're acting so crazy. Calm down Sam you're gonna nail this test."

I give a squished smile "Thanks Jim! Can you let go of my cheeks." I chuckle. "Is that why I've been acting so strange??"

Mr. Perry claps his hands to get the students attention. "All right class, enough chit-chat!" Not may people pay attention. "Class Pay Attention!!!" He yelled. His neck and cheeks flustered red, reminds me of a cherry."Before we begin the test, I like to introduce our newest student Nash Sullivan."

The new kid walks in a limp strut. "Oh god no, he's here out of all eight classes? " Karma really knows how to nail me. Guess where he decides to sit, you thought correctly! He plops right next to me. He turns his head.

"Why hello princesses!" He said, I see an evil grin growing. I keep facing the chalkboard.

"Hello."I sigh

"What no name calling?"He questioned

"I'm sorry, can you please shut up loudmouth, I'm taking a test." Mr. Perry had already passed out the papers. He laughs

"There she is." I give a frustrating sigh.  Nash puts his hands up

"Fine, I'll shut up." I'm silent, and too focus on the test. Page after page writing." True,False, D, B, B, A, C, almost..finished"

I flip the packet "Done!! "It has been about 30 minutes and not my people are done. I open my bag, grab my phone and earphones. Team by Lorde.

"Call all the ladies out

They’re in their finery

A hundred jewels on throats

A hundred jewels between teeth

Now bring my boys in

Their skin in craters like the moon

The moon we love like a brother, while he glows through the room..." My feet start tapping to the move of the music.

"We live in cities you'll never see on screen

Not very pretty, but we sure know how to run things

Living in ruins of a palace within my dreams

And you know, we're on each other's team"

"I'm kind of over getting told to throw my hands up in the air, so there

So all the cups got broke shards beneath our feet but it wasn’t my fault

And everyone’s competing for a love they won't receive
