Kyla, the girl that's "down with anything".
Mom doesn't have work today so she still in bed. After I get ready and eat, I quietly kiss her forehead and leave for school.
Her name is Kyla, the girl Adam and Alex were talking about. I think I know her, I think I had a class with her before.
When I was walking into school, I heard them talking about hurting.
Being in chemistry class, I realize that Kyla is in here. The teacher stepped out for a minute, so her and Adam are all over each other I wonder if Holly knows. But I'm going to stay out of it this time. After class I walk to the locker room because I have gym. After I change out I walk to the gym and wait for the cloakto take attendance. Today we did nothing like most days. Some kids play basketball some play soccer, then yes you have the somewhat odd kids playing ping pong. Most of the time I chill and just watch YouTube or sometimes I play if I want.Once class is almost over we head to the locker room and change back out. The bell finally rings and I head to Spanish. Today, like most days, we do ABSOLUTLY NOTHING. I honestly get a kick out of this class, I mean we learn stuff in here but its kind of amusing how we sit in class and the teacher will just sit at her desk and not talk or do anything. But hey, I can't complain. Our lunch bell finally ring and I walk to the cafeteria. I notice Dalton sitting where we normally sit."Look who is actually here today." I joke."Ha, ya I know...I've been sick." "Figures, you still going to the dance??" I say while eating this "amazing" school food."Ya I'm thinking of asking Natallie to go with me." "Oh cool". we both finish lunch and head to our next class.
While I was walking. I remembered something that happened earlier in gym. (While everyone was waiting on the coaches, Alex caught me looking at him. He gives me that same nasty look he gave me at the mall, I look away and notice the coach taking attendance. A couple minutes before class was over we went to the locker room to change out. I was standing at the door waiting for the bell to dismiss us when I hear "Hey..." someone said quietly over my shoulder and I saw that it was Alex. "...are we cool, cause you keep staring at me and I have a resting bitch face so I didn't want you to think I was rude or anything." "Ya sure" I say shrugging me shoulders. "I didn't even notice". He chuckles awkwardly and I smile awkwardly back at hi.
The bell finally rings releasing us from that "awkward" silence. While walking to Spanish I see Adam and Kyla secretly holding hands. "Hey Adam" a voice speed walks past me. He looks back and notices that its Holly. He quickly takes his hand from Kyla and urns to Holly. I guess its not considered cheating because he isn't dating either girl. But its obvious that he doesn't want Holly to know about Kyla. I quietly chuckle. Holly does a double take at m behind her and starts to slow down to catch up with me. "Hey" she smiles and bumps her shoulder on mine. "Hey what's up.." I say starring at her. "Not much, you??" she glances at me, and I look away. "Same, how are you and dam??" I point to him with my head. "m mm m" she shrugs. "Why don't you ask him??" she says scrunching her eyebrows. I turn to her in confusion. "Sorry, I didn't mean to be rude...but he has just been distant towards me lately" she says squinting her eyes "he's just so...extra, like I don't even know if we are still going to the dance together". I quickly turn to her with bright eyes. She looks at me with a sincere smile and slowly blinks. "What about you??" my face comes back to reality. "...are you going with anyone??" I look forward with a thinking face. And notice that she is still staring, waiting for an answer. So I slowly shrug and tilt my head. "I think I might be third wheeling." I smile awkwardly. She laughs. "Dalton and Natallie might be going together." "AWW, they'd be so cute. Should I talk to her for him??" she says in an excited tone. "Uh, I don't know, up to you" I smile back.
Walking and talking all this way, we finally reach our third period. We literally do NOTHING in here, I mean I can't complain though.
Adam is almost late to class, I guess he walked Kyla to her class. All eyes are on him as he walked in, I think at least half the class knows about him and Kyla. Once he sat down with Dalton at lunch, he started talking about Natallie and how he is gonna ask her today. I hear a familiar laugh coming towards me. It's Holly. She sits beside Dalton and I. Dalton starts choking on his food because he is laughing like a child. "Jamesyyy...it's you giirll!!" he continues to choke and laugh. I push him with my shoulder and whisper "shut up" to him. Holly sits down and giggles. I can tell she doesn't know what she's laughing at. "Hey James, hey Dalltooonn!!" she emphasizes his name. "Heyyy" we both say in confusion. 'I heard about you liking Natallie" she smiles. I cover my mouth coughing and trying to hide my laugh. Dalton quickly looks up at both of us. He clears his throat then says, "well I only told one person..." He makes a face at me "...and it's James..." I awkwardly look down at my food. "...so since he told you my secret, I'm sure he told you his too huh??" he evilly smiles at me. "No, I don't think so." She shakes her head. I look at him with my eyes wide~ meaning for him to stop talking.
I get up and walk to the bathroom and quickly regret it because he could tell her if he wanted to. I washed my hands and walked back to the table, they are both eating their food. I take me seat between them and act like nothing happened. I feel someone looking at me so I look up, Holly is smiling at me. "So are you going to tell me your secret??" I sigh in relief because I though he told her. "Uh, maybe later..." "Ok" she says giggles, " well I'm going to go talk to some of my friends." Dalton and I both shake our heads at her as she walks away. A few minutes later we leave to go to our last classes, his gym and mine is world history.
Today in class all we did was some worksheets and stuff. I'm kinda surprised by how much Holly has been talking to me lately. Maybe she's finally falling for me. I laugh in my head...*ya right James*. As class passes by, I notice Holly daydreaming. She is dazed, smiling. I wonder what she is thinking about. Once class is over, I finish gathering my things and start to head towards the door. "Hey...wait!" a struggling voice says coming towards me. It's Holly struggling to get her stuff into her bag. "Need some help??" I say laughing. "Ha, ya...can you hold this??" she hands me a decent sized binder. I grab it thinking it's lighter than it actually is lighter than it actually is and stumble. "Oh...ha" she giggles "ya it's kinda heavy". She finishes packing her stuff. "Oh no, it just caught me off guard". "mmhhmm" he mumbles with a sarcastic smile. I smile back. "Looks like someone is a little weak." She laughs as she squeezes my arm. Her face changes when she realizes that I'm not weak and I actually have pretty toned muscles. We both laugh. "Oh ok... I see you James." "Yaa, lemme see yours...". She pulls up her sleeve over her shoulder and flexes. I laugh a little 'cause there is nothing there. "hm" she says trying to show off.
Once we reach the end of the hall, we realize that we have to go different ways, We're still laughing and joking around. "Since your so "toned"..." she says in a mocking tone. "I bet you got abs too huh??" she laughs. "ha...well that's a correct accusation" I smile. "For real??" she scrunches her eyebrows. I'm caught off guard when she punches me in the stomach to see if I'm telling the truth. "hmmm...feels like it. But that doesn't mean they are there." I nod my head and start to tell her bye. "I'll believe it when I see it." She smiles and turns to walk away. I nod and say "ya...ok" in a joking manner.
I think I fell asleep on the bus until we hit a bump. I realize that we are pulling up to my stop, so I get my bag and get off. Once I get inside my house I see some bags from mom going shopping. I snoop in the bags to see what she bought. When I get done I close the bags~ "Like what you see??" she says with a grin. I jump, she has been watching me. "Moooom!!" I say in a whining tone. "Jaaamess!!" she mocks me. "You're the one in my stuff." She giggles. "Soorryy...what is this stuff for anyway??" I say scrunching my face. "My trip this weekend with your dad." She says walking into the kitchen. " but...this stuff isn't normalll..." I quickly realize what it's all for and I scrunch my face again. She looks over her shoulder and snickers. "Well them I wont ask what you guys are doing when you're gone." We both grin. "You wanna help me make dinner??" she asked. "Ya, sure...what are we making??" I say as I walk beside her. "Umm...I don't know to be honest. Lets just make something random." She smiles awkwardly. I laugh when she starts putting rap music on again.
We make dinner and watch movies until about 9 o'clock. At the end of Footloose, we turn the tv off and try not to fall asleep. "So are you taking anyone to that *yawns* dance??" "Uh...myself" I fake smile. Mom lets outa small giggle. "No but seriously... I mean, is there anyone you want to take??" she stretches. "*Sigh*, ya" her face lights up. " a girl I like named Holly..." I say with a frown and heavy eyes. "Ahh, have I ever seen her before??" mom rubs her eyes. "Yep, at the mall." "oh she was that girl you were starring at" she smiles. I nod my head with my eyebrows high. We talk for a while longer and end up falling asleep at around 10pm.
