I gotta admit they make a good couple 😳
SCHOOL; 10:45 AM
*Jays POV*
I rushed through a hallway of kids trying to get to my homeroom class, I spotted Matthew. 'Oh great.' I thought in vexation. I awkwardly scooted through the halls trying to avoid getting pushed by all the kids, "Hey Matthew." I blurted out with no hesitation, I'm guessing Matthew never heard me due to all the noisy ass kids behind us, I spoke up a bit more so he can hear me "Hey Matthew!", he turned around and looked at me with an annoyed expression, "oh hello Jay." He said in a boring tone. I knew he had no interest talking to me so I tried to think of interesting things, "soo Uhh, you know there's a peak hole inside the girls change room?" I said with enthusiasm. "Ew that's not something I hear everyday, who told you that? Coach Steve?" He asked in disgust, "actually I just heard one of those girls say that to her friend over there." I said pointing at the girls. "Middle school gossip, you know most of them are lies?" Matthew said, "yeah but worth taking a look, I mean it's kind of hard to believe coach Steve lies." I shrugged. "I suppose, anyways, I gotta get to class now soo.. cya later." Matthew said walking to class, "Bye I guess?" I replied, "that was a short and weird conversation." I remarked.
I tapped my pencil on my notebook as I glanced at the white board. "Writing notes is pointless! Why the hell don't teachers just print a copy of the notes and tell us to read and study it? Teachers have literally no brains nowadays." I said to Jessi, "I don't know! I'm not a genius, besides, it's what we're assigned to do so no point in complaining to me." She whispered as she tried to write faster. "Well it's true, assignment my ass! I'd rather fail than write notes that can be printed!" I whispered back. "Don't aggravate things! That'll get us in trouble. Now stop talking, I don't need to get yelled at." She quickly said looking over to the teacher. I faced my paper and I hadn't realized it but I finished already! Thank god! "I'M DONE!!" I yelled, I imagined loads of people cheering me on for finishing this time wasting assignment. "Indoor voices Jay." The teacher said sternly, "I'm just happy that I fi-" " that doesn't mean we have to sound like a chimp. Indoor voices." She assured, a few kids laughed at her comment. she took the paper from my hand. I sat back down on my seat and slouched, I felt relieved finishing those notes. I looked around the room and saw everyone was still writing, I noticed Matthew was in this class. "Psst! Hey Matthew!" I whispered, he tried to ignore me but that didn't last long, "What is it?" He whispered back in frustration. "Did your arms get replaced by a sloths because your writing slower than one of those garden snails!" I laughed, "I'm trying to concentrate. You probably rushed your work so that doesn't bother me." He answered back. I looked over to see three kids already done. 'At least there isn't a lot of snails.' I thought, I almost fell asleep but luckily the teacher stopped that from happening, "Jay! I've marked your work! You got a decent mark." She said handing me back the paper. 'Marking notes?! They're just notes! They aren't even real assignments! I don't see questions, or word problems. Only boring words!' I angrily sat down at my seat looking over my spelling, I heard a voice behind me "bad marks I believe? I told you that you rushed your work." Matthew chuckled, "it's just damn notes! There's nothing to be marked!" I whispered angrily at him, "ahem, spelling I believe?" Matthew smirked, "shut up smartass!" I yelled, I did not know I yelled THAT loud because after that I saw everyone looking at me with shocked faces like they've just seen a little dog get hit by a truck. Including the teacher, "Jay, that language is very inappropriate and unacceptable! I'm going to give you detention at lunch break." She scoffed. 'Give me a break, lunch sucks anyways, the food there is like prison food.' I thought to myself, I wish I said that but I didn't cause I didn't want after school detention. My parents would be so pissed. I looked at Matthew and shot him a dirty look, he just grinned as he watched me leave class. "What an ass." I said to myself as I headed over to the detention room. There was no students here! That's actually a shocker, but I didn't care too much. "Hello Jay, what happened now?" Mrs P asked with a blank expression. "I called a kid a smartass." I explained, "well, that can either be offensive to some people, and a compliment to other people. I really hope you meant it as a compliment." She said as she continued typing, 'smartass is a compliment? That's really dumb.'. I didn't do much work, all I did was daydream. My daydreams were interrupted by another kid. Oh great, Matthew.. I jumped as I heard a voice come up from behind me, "hello mrs P." He greeted as he sat beside me. I shifted in my seat, "what are you doing here?!" I whispered to him. "Well I had to get sent too, she told me I was 'saying rude things back'" he said in disappointment. "Wow, what a dumbass thing to do." I snickered. "Right?" He agreed. "Oh! Excuse me boys but I need to take a call from a very important person!" She said as she walked out the door. What are the chances I'm going to have to be alone with Matthew? "Probably an excuse to go to the bathroom, I saw her eating taco bell when I walked in." I said, I couldn't help but laugh at that, Matthew chuckled, "okay, I have to admit that was actually pretty funny." Matthew smiled. "Well, I guess you can call me a comedian, I'm usually called the '40 year old magician'." I said as I tapped my pencil on the side of my desk. "40 year old magician? That's very surreal." Said Matthew. "Uhh.. I had this pillow.. actually never mind, that was a long time ago, besides, that was a terrible experience." I blushed. "A pillow? That's new." Matthew said as he had great interest in that topic. "Do you really want to know??" I asked in embarrassment, "duh! Of course I do! Explain everything in great detail." Matthew smiled. "Okay, so I had this pillow which I screwed with for like, 4 months and I told her I was a 40 year old." I explained, I really wish I didn't though. "Is there an oven turned on? I think I'm about to get a heat stroke.." I said as I avoided eye contact with Matthew, that damn teacher better hurry up! "Well.. that's crazy, but I've heard worse." He said as he answered 2 more questions from his paper. "Wait really?" I asked, "Yeah, it's weird." He cringed. I looked over at Matthews paper and answered the first question. "Hey don't cheat!" He said with a half smile as he hid his answers. "Ok fine." I said. It took me 10 minutes to answer the 2nd question, "wow, it took you that long to answer that easy question? I'm half way finished! Who are you calling the garden snail now?" He laughed. "It might be easy for you since your the biggest smartass I've ever met in this school." I said as I tried to answer the 3rd question, "screw this, I'm just gonna guess." I said losing my patience, "Jay." Matthew said, I looked at him with a confused look, "you COULD copy off of me, that's why my papers so close next to yours." He grinned. "Are you kidding? You should of told me that when we first started!" I said with a sour expression, "if you didn't know, I'm quite a tease." He smiled as he finished the last question. "Hey where's the teacher? It's been 20 minutes." I said with a little bit of concern, "she probably fell in the toilet." Matthew joked. We laughed at that statement. "You think you got all of the questions right?" I asked. "I know this like my right hand, this is 3rd graders work." He said with a slight smile. " I damn well hope." I said as I places the assignment on the teachers desk. "What do we do now?" I asked, "I honestly have no idea." Matthew replied as he scrambled through tons of work sheets. "All of these are other kids work." He assured as he sat back down, I awkwardly stared at the clock. "Time won't go any faster you know?" Matthew giggled. "Yeah no shit." I said, I could fall asleep at any moment, I placed my head on my desk and stared at the door waiting for the teacher to emerge. "So, is coach Steve your friend?" Matthew asked, "Yeah, I guess so, why?" I questioned. "Nothing, just a question." He said, "Hey Matthew," I gulped "hm?" "Sorry for underestimating you.. even though your a smartass." I said with an apologetic tone. "It's fine, don't worry about it." He stated, "Umm.. remember smooch or share?" I questioned. His eyes shot open, "Yeah.." he said blushing, "it was a great game huh?" He asked. "Well, it was OK.." I admitted, "you kissed me twice, you liked it i can tell." He chuckled. "Yeah! That shame demon was gone so.. never mind." I said with an embarrassed look. "It's fine, I liked it too." He smiled, "you did?" I asked in awe, "Yeah, why wouldn't I anyways? I mean I have to admit your a pretty hilarious guy, your a better magician than a 'magician' clown from my little cousins birthday." He complimented. "No ones said my magic was good before, well, otter than myself." I said in glee. Without a moment of hesitation I kissed him, it lasted longer though,
Mrs P hung up angrily "38 minute call, I am so getting fired for that. I sometimes hate important calls." She said to herself, she hummed a random tune that she didn't even know of, as she walked in the empty halls all the way to the detention room. "Mayble! 30 seconds please?" Asked the new janitor, "sure." She said blankly as she lazily walked to her, "what?" She questioned looking at the cleaning supplies. "Umm.. where's the pinesol?" She asked, "what he hell is pinesol? There's mr clean extra clean dirt removal." Mrs P said handing the product to he janitor. "Uh.. thanks." The janitor said smiling softly. "Don't mention it." Mrs P replied as she sped walked to the detention room. She continued humming a random tune as she thought about a sandy island in mid July with a single palm tree.
"Shit the teacher is coming, she must of just came out of her bathroom!" I said with a horrified face, "act like absolutely nothing is happening." I whispered loud enough for Matthew to hear. "Got ya." He said as he opened his binder and pretended to organize it, I looked like I was going to fall asleep in any second. The teacher walked in still humming. "Oh! Sorry for keeping you waiting for 38 minutes. I had a very ANNOYING phone call from a business lawyer. I'm becoming a lawyer in two months! Good money, good job." She said proudly. "Who's she talking to?" I laughed. "Probably an imaginary monster or something." Matthew said, "or the last piece of her taco." I chuckled, we laughed and got sent out. "Now that I think about it, time actually went by pretty fast." I said looking at the clock, "I guess." Matthew agreed. "Wanna skip classes?" I asked, "you know what, fuck it, let's skip." Matthew agreed once more. While everyone was coming back in from lunch me and Matthew snuck out, we ran until we reached downtown. "What do you wanna do?" I asked panting, "let's just hang by the ice cream parlour." "Okay." We hung around by a seat that was far from the deck, just to not get caught by a teacher we saw.
