How to survive classes

Class.... how to not burn down the most boring class in the history of classes. Amusingly it wasn't history, I actually quite enjoy history. No the most boring class is science. I know, I know not a popular opinion but hey when you tend to go up in flames constantly it's not the funnest subject. 'Well luckily I have the class with Kat and Lily' I thought to myself. The worst part about science is the experiments, they're filled with group efforts and dangerous tools that end up getting someone called home. Kat, Lily, and I were working on this chemical event on how to make glue, borax, and water into a substance that would bounce at the vibrations of large sound. Slime, we were making slime, gross. I hated this class with a passion. Luckily Kat and Lily liked it and it made them happy so I stuck with it just to be with them. Kat excelled in school, it was like she knew all the answers to everything; she just got it and helped me when I didn't. Lily, was always very smart, but her beauty was what stood out more than her brains. I was mostly the in between, most subjects I totally understood but most of the time I was just caught in my own world thinking about alternate realities. It was a little weird considering I don't know how I got all these ideas but it was just a good way to pass the time. Sometimes I would even write them down and I would make them into stories, mostly how I passed English.

Today, however, I was just thinking about what happened a year ago. I know I shouldn't dwell on these things but it's hard to have your entire life change with just a blink of an eye. My mother was a kind, caring woman, but she always seemed a little too concerned for me. I was her baby girl, her little princess, she didn't want anything bad happen to me. My dad was so funny, he never understood my mothers worry he was just concerned for my education and health. He always knew when I had a bad day and knew how to make me smile. Today was one of those days when I just needed one of his stupid pun, dad jokes. The thought made me want to cry a little, I missed them so much and John tried so hard to continue to take care of us. He worked almost all day and then still found time at the end of the day to go to online school. I admired him so much he was really the only thing in my life that felt stable. I did try though to make sure that I didn't put too much weight on him.

Suddenly, Lily tapped me on the shoulder to talk for a second while the teachers back was turned to the board.

"So I saw you talking to Christopher!" She teased, "You ever gonna tell him you like him?"

"Nope! I am perfectly content with being alone for my whole life and growing up to be an old cat lady." I teased back. She lightly slapped me on the arm giving me the 'really?' look and we both just kinda giggled to ourselves. The teacher turned around briefly just to make sure we were paying attention and that only made us start to silent giggle crying from holding our breath.

"Girls, do I need to seperate you?"

"No Mr. Berrett, sorry." I said while catching my breath.

In all honesty it wasn't that funny but I think the fact we were trying not to laugh made us laugh harder and that was the best part about being with Lily.

The bell rang and as class ended me and Lily were stopped by Kat asking us what was going on. Lily told her that we were just talking about Christopher and how I would never get the balls to ask him out. Then I retorted with "I don't have balls, I have boobs Lily" only making all three of us cackle in the halls on our way to our lockers. Our lockers were side by side making it really easy to see them all day even when we didn't have class. The next task was my history class, which again I favored, only because it came easily to me with the dates and times that you needed to memorize.

****I'm Shit and can't write so there is this big time gap! Yay! Sorry guys, I will finish it later but for now.... Time SKIP****

Time passed really quickly today, which was unexpected because of the reunion, it was kind of nice though because then it meant that the day wouldn't be as bad as it usually was. On my way to the lockers I noticed Lily and Kat already standing at there's but of course Alex and Lily were snogging again, and Kit came to join Kat in what seemed to be a pretty serious conversation. I disregared it as non of my business and went to put my books in my locker. Trying to reach the top part of the locker grabing at the homework I put there from yesterday a hand had reached up with mine with ease and grabbed it before I could. I followed the hand to it's owner and there stood Christopher giving me a smirk and handing me my homework.

"Don't worry shorty, I've got ya." Christopher said making me scrunch up my face in an unattractive way. I hated short jokes, I was no shorter than the average human hight!

"Hey! I am not that short! Just because you can actually reach things does not make me short!"

"Uh-huh, sure shorty." He teased winking before turning toward Kat and Kit. "So, what's our plan today? We could go get ice cream, we could walk to the store down the street, we could..." he trailed off running out of ideas.

Kit and Kat looked at me wondering what I was going to say, shrugging I said, "I dunno we haven't been to that store in a while. We could always go there and play with the foam swords?"

Lily then looked up at that and sqealed shaking her head vibrantly up and down, indicating that she really wanted to go to the store. "Yeah! We have to do that, I need to kick Alex's ass for not letting me cheat on our history test!"

"Alright store it is." I said, and with that we all closed our lockers and head out in our unplanned pairs.
