"Who are you?" The one guy in my science class, that always sat across from me, was finally asking my name, half way in the school year..."my name is Emma, and why ask now?" He looked puzzled by my question "Because your writing in my notebook" we had the same colored notebook and I guess I wasn't paying attention "oh, I'm sorry-" I slid it back to him, but took a glance to the name at the front of the book "Carlos, huh?" He smirks. I may have forgot to erase the few doodles I drew in his book...but as he looks at them he seems some how impressed "These aren't bad." I smile, while trying to push my hair back behind my ears "Thanks!"
My friend Kristen walked over to the table and whispered to me into my ear "Can I have your bread?" For some reason that made me laugh, because of the fact she is obsessed with the stuff. my reply was simple "It's not even lunch yet Krisp!" We both laughed. I call her 'Krisp' because she just loves her chips. I look over to see Carlos, he is looking over at us and is delighted by our playful manner. Maybe it was the fact that it was first period on a Monday, and this was the only sign of 'fun' that he's seen, thus far, but that was the first time I'd ever saw him smile...it made me happy in a way I haven't felt in a long time. The bell rang but luckily I had next period near by this class, so I wouldn't have to walk that far. I said my farewells to Krisp, and started to walk to my next class.
Band. Band is all i have to say, loud noises, screaming and yelling to get attention and any other things that just make my head hurt, but luckily I have my best friends in this class, so it's bearable to some degree. I play the xylophone, and any other percussion instruments my teacher would decide to put me on, but thank goodness we are working on Christmas songs. Now let me explain, the teacher is letting all the three percussionists are doing a special, and the teacher wants use to be 'cooks', which means we play stuff like the water glasses, pots and pans. I got to play the water glasses along with someone else and the other person does pots and pans. I got paired with...king. When I first met him it was awkward because he wasn't very social, but I have a good feeling about this paring! "Hey!" I awkwardly try to get his attention, he looks over at me and I make a nervous smile. For some reason that makes him quietly laugh. The class period went by fast. I put away the glasses and go up to my friend Kaya, while griping her into a bear hug. She ties to escape but I don't let her "We're gonna be late Em! " she giggles. I release her from my arms. Since we have our next period together, I wait for her to put her instrument away.
We walk together to our ELA class, but of course since our class was restless yesterday, we have assigned seats. I got sat next to a guy I don't really talk to much. We made sudden eye contact , I try to say something to break the awkward silence between us but before I could- "Alright class! Today's assignment is a 2 person project, MEANING the person I've sat you next to is your partner for the week! This is a book report due Monday, the books are already on your desks and this is fairly easy, so good luck class!" ...oh boy. I try to hold out my hand for him to shake, for us to create a bond of some sort of relationship for the duration of this project, he shakes it. The books are old fashioned but look interesting, I look at the first page "the first time I saw it, I knew it was the last day of my trip" I was already sucked into it and began to read, but the guy looked over at me, as if he was confused about something. "is everything alright?" "Yeah, it's just I don't understand the setting of the book" he says, still with the same expression. I explained it to him so he wouldn't make me do all the work. The rest of class was pretty straight forward.
"Teacher, may I use the restroom?"
"Sure Emma! Just hurry up" "Yes ma'ma!" I got up to grab the bathroom pass... but got an eerie feeling when I did so. As soon as I walked out, I saw a tall, good looking guy walking towards me, but, he stops me "hey there!" he tried to, flirt with me? Although he is cute, I don't quite think I'm interested. He keeps trying to get my attention, so I say something. "You... have a hole in your shirt." He looks at his shirt confused for a moment "a 'hole' lotta style"... "wow" he tries to hide his face, but I know I heard that quiet laughter. My deed is done! As soon as I start to walk away, he mutters the words "hey, I've been looking at you through the school year, and I think your, kinda cute." HA...ha... this guy's funny, am I right? "nice joke!" He seems highly confused. "This was fun and all but I gotta go to the restroom, so, see ya!" I try to walk without making a bigger idiot out of myself then I already have.
