Stuck in the middle

first day of school

Andy

Andy sat in the back of the class staring at her laptop. She had her earbuds plugged in and she was ignoring the world. She was listening to music and reading. She looked around and pulled her sketch book out of her bag and started doodling. When the bell rang she swept everything in her bag and walked out of the class. She was aware someone was behind her but she didn't care. It was passing period. Someone was always behind her. She picked up the pace. And she turned the corner she tripped on her laces and fell to the ground, dropping everything in her hands. She hastily started to pick everything up when someone knelt in front of her and helped pick up the fallen papers. Andy looked up and saw a girl. The most beautiful girl she ever saw. She had shoulder length black hair and hazel eyes. She wore a large black hoodie and ripped skinny jeans. She handed her her papers she had collected.

"thanks" andy muttered

"no problem" she smiled at her and turned on her heel into a classroom.... which is her classroom. She sighed and entered the classroom scanning around for an empty seat. The girl was talking to the teacher. She saw an ideal spot in the back corner and sat down. She pulled out her sketch book and started doodling a butterfly.

"thats beautiful" andy looked up abruptly and saw the girl had sat down next to her.

"uhm thank you" she blushed a little and closed the book. The teacher started role call.

"Fallon?" she raised her hand

"Abigail? Reed? John? Percy? Zoe? Lindsay? Troye? Melanie? Ariana? Carlie? Andy?" andy raised her hand quickly and put it back down. She thought of the name fallon. She thought it was pretty. Their history teacher started talking about the unit objectives and andy plugged in her earbuds and started doodling.

Fallon

Fallon was looking intently at the board but not paying any real attention. She could smell the girl next to her. Andy. She smelled like raspberries and licorice. She could hear her music quietly droning through her earbuds and she saw her hand moving back and forth across the page. She had long black hair and green eyes. She had on large circular glasses and some freckles. She was pale like she had never been in the sun but not pasty. She was adorable. God im so gay she thought. She was wearing her lesbian bitxh shirt under hoodie. It was all black with a the words in metallic rainbow.

She leaned over ever so slightly and looked at what she was drawing. It wasnt a butterfly this time but rather a portrait. It was a lesbian couple. They were kissing on a park bench. She carefully drew their hair and faces. She looked concentrated as her hands danced across the page. Fallon looked up abruptly when the teacher called on her.

"Fallon? Did you not hear what I just asked you?"

crap "Uh no sir."

"And why is that?"

"I was busy reading the uh..." she looked at her desk and saw the class syllabus "syllabus sir"

"well then if you were reading it you could tell me where to find the extra pencils? Without looking at the syllubus again"

Andy shifted a little in her seat and whispered "paragraph 3"

"Paragraph three sir"

"Correct fallon. Thank you" at that moment the bell rang. She collected her stuff and walked out of the classroom.

Fallon walked outside and waited on the grass. She kept an eye out for a big yellow bus. She saw andy sitting a little bit away leaning against a tree. She had one knee up with her arm perched against it. She had her eyes closed and her finger drummed to the tunes in her ears. As she was about to go up to her the bus pulled into the parking lot and she got on. As the bus pulled away she saw a boy walk up to her, give her a hug and kiss her on the lips. She tried to hide her disappointment that the pretty girl in the back of the room wouldn't be dating a boy.
