Life of Two 8th Graders - True Story

Chapter 4

Lissett

Well, it's been days, haha!

Maryam

Oops. Ehehehe. Please don't kill us......

Lissett

We just... have been really busy and tired lately. We're sincerely sorry.

Maryam

Blame my Algebra teacher......so much Carnegie....

Lissett

Not to mention, just in general, we've been getting so much homework. Finally we got a break (thanks to Thanksgiving), but we decided to finally write the "story"!

Maryam

Yup. Even though I should be eating a big feast right now, I've graciously decided to do this instead. JK! I got nothing to eat for dinner except Maruchan noodles...

Lissett

Oh shut up, you were just lazy to write the story until I made you do it.

Maryam

......

You weren't supposed to tell them that......

Lissett

Ah, whoops.

Maryam

Grrrrrr

Lissett

Did you seriously just "grrrrr" at me....?

Maryam

Uhhhhh.....Anyway!

I can't wait till we go back to school! (I know. Weird, right?)

But then I can make J**** ask Khoa out!!!!!! YAYYYYYYYYY!!

(and yes, my plan will work this time)

Also, on Monday I stayed after school for a STEM club meeting. J**** and Jessie were there too. So anyway Mr. T** told us about a field trip to the Google office downtown with three other schools!!!!! AND it was free!!!! With FREE DINNER INCLUDED!!! (*Spoiler: later that day he emailed us saying the trip was cancelled. Like, seriously, We were so hyped!)

So anyway I came out of the computer lab and saw my sister in the hallways of the school still. She was supposed to have been at the park with my after school! Then I found out that she was looking for her stylus that came out of her phone. So I started helping her look for it and J**** helped too. So we went down the stairs and kept looking for it on the stairs and outside. My sis was in front of us and me and J**** were talking about her asking Khoa out. Then I told her to do it right then and there, and she replied saying she didn't know where he was. Right when she said that I saw him chasing after a ball rolling onto the street and I told her he was RIGHT THERE! Then she said she didn't want to bother him and that she was scared to go up to him. So I said I'd do it for her. And I did!! I went up to him while he was playing volleyball and told him J**** wanted to talk to him. He said sure and we walked back to J**** together. I asked him if he knew what J**** wanted to talk to him about. He said "what?" and I just stared at him like "seriously......" We started talking about him overexerting himself on the pacer test.....blah blah blah.......Boys always competing for everything....... blah blah blah.......We reached J**** and I said "now you guys can talk." So my sister and I kept looking for the stylus away from them so they could talk but then I remembered we were supposed to be at the park with my after school!!!!! So we started walking to the streetlight, passing J**** and Khoa again. My sister overheard him say "I don't know how to start the conversation" and J**** saying back "yeah. Me either." So right before we started crossing the street, my sister went up behind them and said, "You can start the conversation by saying HI!" They both laughed at that and the tension broke as Khoa said "hi" to J****.

Lissett

I'M CONFUSED, you changed the subject each time.

Maryam

.......

(btw, we went to the park and when we were walking back with our after school to the classroom (keep in mind this is an hour later) we saw J**** and Khoa still talking while sitting on the steps!!!)

Lissett

Cool, but this is honestly off topic, but I'm tired.

Maryam

......

Fine then. Guess we'll have to end this here, lovely audience, because of SOMEONE being too "tired."

Lissett

......

Maryam

And there will be no Authors' Notes today since SOMEONE would rather go take a nap than spend time to finish this chapter....

Lissett

.....

I said I was "tired," not that I want to go take a nap.

Maryam

Same diff.

Anyway.....

Maryam & Lissett

Bye guys!! See ya next time!! (hopefully later today)
