A Few Months Into The School Year

"REALLY WHAT THE..."

"Sapph what's wrong girl?"

Taylor said to me with a look of worry on her face.

"SOMEONE STOLE MY EARPHONES WHILE WE WERE AT LUNCH."

I say this loud and harshly letting everyone around us hear my annoyance in the whole situation.

"IF I FIND WHO EVER STOLE MY EARPHONES JUST KNOW YOU'RE A DEAD MAN....OR WOMAN. Ughh."

Anyone who knows me, knows I can not AND WILL NOT  function properly without my beloved earphones. I mean come on next period I'm gonna have to suffer without them and my next period is math. Dreaded, painstaking, brain busting math. I'm already beginning to hate my life.

As me and Taylor walk through the halls making our way to that hellish class, I give everyone a death stare.

"Sapphire stop! You do know that you are not very intimidating right."

"Ughhhh whatever, guess I just gotta buy new ones."

We reach math class. Here's to a whole   90 minutes of torture!! YAY.

I think the Great Almighty above was looking out for me today because class went by kinda fast and Mrs.Wibber gave us some chill time before the end of class while she past out graded test papers.

"Haha! SUCKS TO SUCK."

Taylor yelled at some kid.

There has to be something seriously wrong with this girl.

She of course comes and sits next me leading with...

"What ya get on the math test?"

"Ehh math is such a sucky subject. I mean nothing makes sense in this class and think about it, we are never ever gonna use this stuff in the real world. eheh, come on, we're not fools here Tay. Well at least some of us."

I say this all while playing my disappointment of a grade off by laughing.

"Stop stalling and just tell me ya goof!"

Taylor says while  trying to rip the paper out of my hand.

"Ummm, I ah, I um, I got a 52. I don't even know how I got into advanced math I totally winged it on the final exams."

I say whining.

What about you, what did you get."

I say the last part quickly trying to get off the subject of my pathetic grade.

"Oh ya girl got an 88."

Taylor says this in a bragging manner, she always had the best scores in this class, heck in all of her classes actually.

"I could have done better if I actually studied more though, but I was just too busy..."

I cut her off!!

"Haha too busy making out in your boyfriends car after the football game!"

"Yeesh Sapphire, shut up!"

She whispers but she completely blushes.

The bell cuts our conversation short with a loud ringing sooooo, GOODBYE  math class.

"Hey Sapphire and Luca stay a little longer please, I need to talk to you both." Mrs.Wibber says politely.

I sigh and walk slowly to her desk. Wow so Luca is kinda hot, I'm not going get ahead of myself but his bright green eyes and brown hair are just...perfect. Just my type. HA SIKE! He probably hasn't even noticed me until this very second. He's also what, one of the popular jocks at this school which means he's a guaranteed jerk. Just like the rest of them. My thoughts are soon jolted back to reality when Mrs.Wibber says...

"Sapphire your grades have been slipping but by the grades in your other classes you seem to be a role student. You only have one C on your report card which is in my class, but I'm sure with a little help from Luca, you'll be just fine and back on track."

I turn and look at him at the exact same time he does the same. He gives me this awkward impatient smile. Hpmh this is gonna be a loooong year.

💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

Who else actually hates math because same but how are Sapphire and Luca gonna work together. Is Luca really the jerk Sapphire has prejudged him to be?!?
