(David's pov)
Elizabeth got ready in the morning. She got out of the bathroom looking like she's going to a rich person ball, I looked in awe at her sparkly outfit. It looked like the sun was inside, but she had a snotty kind of appeal as well. " where are you all dressed up for? We're going to school" I said " shut up David!" Elizabeth hissed she walked out of the doorway of the bathroom and allowed me to go in.
I looked into the mirror as I was contemplating life I thought about home, africa, Dad, and Zoe......Zoe I hated Zoe for some reason. I had no reason to hate her, but I do 'do I hate her?' I thought, but my mind jumped to yes but was that the true answer? " Hurry up in there it's 7:30!" Warned a disembodied Deborah voice " crap! I gotta fix my hair" 'but why was I so worried about my hair?'.

We were going outside to the bus stop. It was freezing cold, we said bye to Lola then left. "Burr dang it's so cold" Deborah shivered " that's America for you" I remarked. When we walked down to the bus stop it didn't take long for the bus to come. It stopped in front of us I let the girls go first then I went lastly.

I was in class. We were learning about some dumb math then my eyes came across Zoe......Zoe she's so stupid. I hate her, she's so annoying with those chin length blonde locks, those cute freckles, and the eyes.....the green eyes......so...so................stupid 'WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME I'M SOPPOSED TO HATE HER!' I yelled at myself in the head 'she's dumb....she's dumb I hate her' I convinced myself. She was there with Blake laughing at his jokes I bet she's faking why would she laugh at his dumb jokes? This is stupid I should just listen to what the teacher is saying, but I can't rip my eyes away from her....why? "DAVID!!!" The teacher yelled "if you like staring at Zoe so much pretend this word problem is Zoe then ok?" "Oooooooh" the class cheered. I was embarrassed, Zoe was staring at me then we locked eyes for a moment, but she went back to talking with Blake.

It was recess I was playing with my friends and Zoe crossed my path as I was running, and I accidentally bumped into her.
" I'm sorry"  she said.
" watch it!" I exclaimed rudely I felt bad immediately after, but I shouldn't because I hate her.

We were inside of the classroom again we were about to leave so I started packing up. I looked over to Zoe she got a letter from someone 'who is it' I thought. She blushed while reading it, but then she looked at me with sort of a sad look in her eye. I looked away and left my desk to go to the gym.

In the gym we're waiting for the bus to come. The tall lady standing in front of the line called up Zoe for early release even though it was the end of the day. She walked up passing me by, clutching her backpack in her hands. She turned around and looked straight at me I looked away 'did my heart just jump?'  By the time I looked up she was gone . " what was that?" Asked Elizabeth " what?" " That girl just looked at you" "so?" "You sir are the dumbest guy ever" what's up with her? She doesn't know what's going on in my life.

I got home then I started playing a game in the living room it was a first person shooter. " hey David" my mom greeted sitting down next to me. I looked at her belly her baby bump is growing quite well it, made me angry so I just play the game. I couldn't get this thought out of my head. Since she announced her pregnancy I never talk to her anymore. I looked at my mother she was watching me play she looked happy, but I saw a glint of sadness in her eyes I opened my mouth to speak, but no words came out 'she's a terrible mother for getting pregnant again'  I thought so I didn't speak, and went back to my game.

It was time to go to sleep. I was picking out my clothes for tomorrow when Elizabeth came up to me " I can tell you're excited about tomorrow" " what?" I asked surprised " mrs. Goldilocks remember? The girl you like" "EWWW ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT ZOE? I DON'T LIKE HER I'D RATHER DRINK ACID!" I yelled " sure David sure" Elizabeth walked away with a certain smugness that made me angry.
I jumped into bed thinking about what Elizabeth said 'she's wrong I would never like a girl like her' I thought,  and on that note I drifted off to sleep.

At school I walked into the classroom no one was there except for Blake and Zoe.......kissing the sight filled me with dread. " oh look who it is Zoe" Blake said with a smirk " well well well if it isn't David adekunle" Zoe stated " how do you know my last name?" "We were best friends when you started here, but then you stopped talking to me as the days went on" " I know about that and I'm sorry" I apologized " don't say sorry to me SAY SORRY TO MY TOMMY GUN AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" She kept yelling as she shot me in the chest with her dangerous weapon.

I woke up scared of the dream in a cold sweat. It was 6:57 only a few minutes until Lola's  dad would come wake us up so I decided to just wake up now. I was playing a game on mute then the door opened, and I knew who it was. " wake up! It's time for school" Lola's dad demanded as we almost kept sleeping. "oh David you are already awake. Good" he said as he left the door open to let light in. We got up, and went to the bathroom to brush our teeth.

I like it when we brush our teeth it's peaceful ,but the trouble starts when we're done. We all stare at eachother then the peace is broken when Elizabeth makes the first move. She pushes us all out no one knows how she manages to do it, she's so short and skinny and she never had that much strength, but suddenly she became Hulk Hogan. "GET OUT! GET OUT!" She yelled in a booming voice that i didn't know she had. Iran to my grandparent's room and got there first.

At school we were already at recess school went as fast as it came I was playing tag with my friends then I accidentally bumped into certain someone "Oh my God I'm so sorry!" She sqeaked with concern in her voice "Watch it!" "Stop it! stop telling me to watch it. what are you even doing  David?" "What do you mean?" I asked "oh c'mon David I like you, and I know you feel the same" my heart jumped "but you keep acting like you hate me...why?" my heart was going a mile a minute. "I love you too!" I wanted to say, but what came out was  "GET AWAY FROM ME YOU FREAK!" Then I ran off into the peewee football bleachers then I srarted to think. Did I just ruin my chance?
