A Bit of Lesbian Love

Two

English was boring. All we really did was a worksheet asking about ourselves. Favorite color, food, music, show/movie. I don't think it's really necessary to know that people (aka me) loves to shove fork-fulls of spaghetti into my mouth, but it's better than doing actual work on the first day. Sadly, I don't think my math teacher got the memo. When walking into my next class, the teacher was standing by the door with math worksheets, I already know who's going to be my least favorite teacher this year.

Looking for a seat, I decided to sit toward the back of the class, in the row closest to the door. While observing the classroom, looking at the posters, the white board stained with expo marker marks that didn't completely, and some filing cabinets, Teal walked in. Two classes? Cool. Maybe it's fate saying my lonely ass needs a friend. Upon entering, she looked the classroom, then her eyes laid on me. Uh oh, I thought, I've been noticed. Next thing I know, she was walking towards me.

"Hey again, can I sit next to you? I don't know anyone in this class." she asked.

"Uh, yeah sure. I don't know anyone either."

She took the empty seat next to me, putting down her math worksheet on the desk and grabbing her mechanical pencil from her bag.

"Really, work on the first day? That's stupid!"

"Yeah," I replied, "was hoping to fill out another sheet about my every irrelevant thing about my life."

She giggled at my sarcastic joke, causing me to relax. Being in a whole new district is just stressful, especially when it comes to making friends. Being socially awkward is one of my hardest traits to overcome, but being social is the only way you can make friends.

The first damn problem on the worksheet and I already have no idea what the hell I'm doing. The paper is review, and even though I was taught this, as soon as we were finished with the lesson it marked for deletion in my brain.

"Hey uh, can you help me? I don't really understand what to do quite honestly."

Looking up from her paper, she leaned over to see what problem I was talking about. In other worlds, looking at my completely blank paper.

"Oh, sure. It seems hard but it's really easy once you get it. You just write the number down, plus X, and write that it equals to 180, then you solve by subtraction. Whatever you get is X."

Wow, it's basically simple subtraction and yet my mind drew a huge blank. I thanked her and kept working on my paper, doing what she said. It was actually really easy like she said.
