My Best Friend and I

Nobody knows.

I knew Mase would never like me so I decided not to tell him. Only one person knows about it and thats my friend from summer camp, Michael. When I told Mikey about how we acted at home his words were, and I quote, "oohhh get it gurrlllll" in the gayest voice possible. 

I couldnt help but laugh when he said that only about 4 months ago. I told him how Mason doesn't know I like him and he probably thinks they are just friendly gestures. The list of things we do is pretty random, like....

I wear his shirts to bed, I kiss his cheeks all the time. He even kisses my forehead and my cheeks too. Sometimes we hold hands, interlocking fingers. When I can't sleep I sneak into his room and we cuddle to make me feel better.  Every friday night we always stay in and get into our pj's and watch 2 disney movies and a scary movie or a funny movie depending on what mood we're in. 

The list goes on, but I couldn't ask for a better best friend than him. Some of those things in the list above are or can be potentially super awkward but most of the time they aren't. you see, Mase and I know absolutely everything about each other. Maybe more than we need to know but that's a different story. 

-------------------------------------------------

We walked into the corridors and into the main hall ways making our way to homeroom. At Monroe, our homeroom classes are the same every year of our High School Career. Mason got transferred into my homeroom for this year and im so happy. 

The tardy bell rang and we all took our seats and started chatting amongst ourselves. I sat next to Mase and once the teacher passed out our schedules for the semester we looked them over to find out that we had 5 out of 8 classes together. 

1. Pre-Cal Pre AP *

2. Physics Pre AP 

3. US History

4. Practicum in Culinary Arts *

5. Practicum in Culinary Arts *

6.  English 3 *

7. Spanish 3 

8. Theater *

Each class with a star are the classes we have together. Mason and i headed off to Precal. Our Teacher is hilarious. He always gets so off topic and starts going on off with a few of the students on last nights football game or whatever. He and Mase started on about the some game and thats when they lost me. 

I never understood football. I cant even count the number of times Mase had even tried to explain it to me, It was bad. It was really cute that he never got frustrated or upset about it, he just gave up for a little bit. 

The next 2 periods went by like a blur and I met Mason in the hall to go to the class I absolutely could not wait for. Practicum in Culinary Arts, or Culinarts Arts 2. Since each student had been in there the previous year we all knew what to do. We got on our personalized black cooking aprons. I had to beg Mrs. Daniels to put Ellie on there instead of Elizabeth becuase only my grandmother calls me that because it was who i was named after. Everyone else calls me Ellie or El. 

Mason and I were assigned to make 8 orders of Lasagna, my absolute favorite thing to make. 

After Culinary we made our way to the courtyard to sit at our usual table. We just sat there for the 34 minutes we have for lunch just talking and talking about our morning classes. We are never hungry durring lunch so we learned to pack snacks to sneak in when our teachers arent looking. I got really good at sneaking food in Mr. Vazquez's spanish class last year, I knew that he noticed I ate in there but he never told me anything because I always took care of my trash and cleaned up after myself. 

When the bell to go to 6th period rang, Mason and I made our way to go to Mrs. Williams' English class. Its not an Advanced Placement class because we knew it would be more than we could handle. We sat there and talked quietly and somewhat listened to her drone on and on about what we would be covering this year. All I could think about was Mason and the fact that there were only 2 more classes left until we could go home. 

The rest of the class went by so fast because all we did was visit with ourr friends and catch up on what happened this summer. I didnt know anyone in this class but there was a guy that I sit next to that introduced himself as Daniel Allen, and there was this kinda cute guy that kept looking at me and everytime I glanced over he smiled really big and tried to wave to where it wasnt noticible. 

After English was over I had Spanish 3 with Mr. Vazquez again and then I had theater with Mrs. Newman. It was really boring because all we did was talk all period, just like every other class. The bell finally rang and Mason walked out to the Junior parking lot behind the school and got into my car. 

My head usually hurts really bad after the first day of school for some weird reason. I went into my bathroom and turned on warm water and started to fill the tub to relax. While it was filling I looked in my medicine cabinet and got out two tablets of Aleve to get rid of my headache. I put bath soap into the water and got out of my clothes and into the water. My favorite scent, Sweet Pea, never seemed to get old. 

Mason walked into the bathroom and told me he had called my name a few times. But I never heard it a single time because I can't take a bath or shower without my playlist going. 

"Sorry Mase." 

"It's ok El, I was wondering if you wanted a snack. Maybe some mac 'n cheese?"

"YYYEEESSSSSS. This is why I love you and you're my best friend."

"Love you too, Im gonna take your clothes and put them in the chute for the laundry, okay?"

"Mmmkay thanks, but take my phone out of my back pocket and put it on my bed."

"Ok I got it."

"Thank you Masey Pooh!!"

"Ellie Smelly, dont call me that!" he said while blushing like a little girl.

"Aww look little Masey pooh is blushing, How cute. Can you hand me a towel?"

"Haha nope if you want one you need to get out here and get one yourself. God gave you two legs and two arms for a reason"
