I Will Not Fall....Hopefully....

Middle School Drama And The Unintentional Compliments

On my first day of middle school, I ran into this group of girls, and the taller, prettier one looked at me and smiled that 14-carat golden smile that only Popular girls do when they're about to hypnotize their next prey. "Sorry for bumping into you...." I mutter, hugging my notebook to me, head bent, hair blocking my eyes from seeing her smile. "Oh, Don't be silly," she exclaimed, "I was chatting with my friends so I didn't notice you. I'm Melisa." Well, She's polite, most Popular girls are stuck up and snotty, and trust me, I've seen more than my fair share of them. "Wanna have lunch with me and my friends today?" she asked. Guess this girl knows her manners. "Ummm I'm Jem....sure I'll have lunch with you I guess.....?" I say, kinda scared that she'll dump her tray of food on me. She smiled and waved bye and kept walking, chatting with her small group of friends. I keep walking to my first class, and I thought, Good, always get the worst classes out first then do the best classes. As I walked more, a group of boys were looking at me, a few snickering. My face grew hot and I bolted off FAST. The boys stared at how fast I went, one even tried to catch up to me, but I left him in the dust. I made it to my class before even 5 kids were there. The teacher looked up from her papers and gave me a warm smile. "You must be Jem." she said with a sweet voice. I nodded and quickly walked to my seat, sitting down. I saw other kids coming so I hid my face behind a book and listened to them talk. "Did you see that girl with the black hair? Did you see her run? She was like a torpedo or something!!" a boy exclaimed. "Yeah, she was like ZOOM past everyone!!!" a girl said with total emphasis. The boy swung his arm to high five the girl, but he knocked over my book instead and I yelped, getting up out of my seat so fast, it startled him. "Hol-" the boy said, but got cut off when the girl pushed him out of her way. I gulped and sat down and hid my face in my book. "You're that girl......" the boy said. "How come your sooo FAST?!?!" exclaimed the girl. "Practise...." I mumbled softly. "I'm Jack, That's Sidney" said the boy who knocked over my book. "I'm J-Jem" I muttered softly. Finally the class started.
