so we were in science. we have science for an hour and a half. I have Bella across the room and jack behind me, that's a trip. our teacher, mrs Barkley, stated that we would be doing a model with partners. I sighed. I hated doing partner work because I always got stuck with the worst partner ever and doing all the work. as mrs Barkley called out the names, my partner was Bella. now I was excited. but before all of that, something shocking happened. as Rylan walked in the room to grab his notebook that he left, he slid his hand down my arm as he walked past me. I almost melted in my chair. jack started laughing and kicking my chair as I turned bright red. a few moments later, he got in trouble for laughing. jack and Evan got partners so Bella and I knew instantly that the night before this was due, we would be on FaceTime helping them figure this out. Bella and I got to work. we were constantly interrupted by Evan and jack. we started annoying them which just lead to them throwing beads at us and we throwing pom poms back. that landed us all in trouble. jack leaned over and whispered "welcome to the dark side. we have pop tarts!". I busted out laughing to the point of tears. jack and I were dying laughing. that got us into more trouble and then mrs Barkley moved us to the other side of the room. honestly, that probably wasn't the worst decision. Bella and I almost finished our project before we were told that we had to pack up. all the boys had accomplished was drawing a Giannis Antetokounmpo jersey that frankly, could have been drawn better by a first grader. we all packed up our stuff and walked out together. next was literature. our borderline psychotic, borderline amazing teacher started off class by yelling at us because we were five minutes late. not our fault that mrs Barkley can't keep track of time. we handed in our homework and took the test that no one studied for. during that time, her phone kept going off and it was the worst ringtone ever. it was some stupid old song that went off every twenty seconds. after that, we went to lunch. we went outside for recess. I know what you're thinking, recess in middle school? I think that every day. we are. outside for 10 minutes not even doing anything because none of us are dressed for the weather. Rylan and his gang of sixth graders go and play football five feet from where Haylee, James and I play volleyball. sometimes we get Carly's little brother in on our game. but John, he pretty cool but can be snobby too. then sometimes Rylan jumps in, but that's rare. usually him and James get in a fight and end up wrestling until Haylee and I go in to break it up. I hold back Rylan and she holds back James. sometimes Rylan will actually need to be pulled off of James but I got that down to a science. its like dealing with a bunch of first graders with ADD. afterwards, we go in to actually eat our lunches. I walk in the kitchen to use the microwave and stand in the two person line. I usually cut them and say its because I'm in eighth grade and that they will do it too. they tend to get really annoyed with that statement. for the two minutes I'm away I can count on Rylan and Haylee racing up to me with the fruit snack bag in someones hand and them shout "CAN I HAVE IT!!!???" I honestly didn't give a tiny rats ass about who got them, so I would always reply with "I don't care.". that statement annoyed Haylee the most. Rylan "always" got the fruit snacks when 9 times out of 10, I had a separate bag for her. and then, it was back to learning and the fun was over.
