My Big Bully

Will you go out with me?

Before the car could hit me, I was dragged back by someone.

I turned around to see Josh staring at me. I hugged him, my heart beating loudly I'm my chest.

I couldn't say anything, so I just kept my head on his chest.

"Be careful". He whispered to me.

"I'm sorry". I told him on the verge of crying.

I pushed myself off him and grabbed his hand.

"Escort me to school"?. I asked him.

"Sure, sure I will". He said looking down at our hands.

We walked silently to school, he's school wasn't that far from mine.

When we reached there I stopped and looked at him.

"Thank you". I said to him, pecked him on his cheeks and ran away without waiting for his reply.

Queen, why would you do that!!

I just chose to ignore the voice in my head.

Most of you are probably wondering why the voice in my head called me Queen, well my full name is Layla Queen Christopher.

As far as I'm concerned it's only Kristen that calls me Queen.

I walked into the school to see Nate, Lisa and Kristen waiting at my locker.

"Hey guys". I told them smiling.

"Hey Queen". Kristen told me.

"Queen?. Your name is Queen, or are you like a Queen or something". Nate told me confused.

"No silly, my full name is Layla Queen Christopher". I told him putting in my combination.

"Oh, well that's nice". He told me looking somewhere else.

"So Layla, do you want to study with me during lunch or after school today"?. Lisa asked me.

"She's already studying with me". Nate said.

"I am"?. I asked him confused.

"You are". He told me giving me that 'you better go with it look'.

"Yeah, I just remembered I am, sorry Lisa, maybe you can come over to my house". I told her bringing out my Math book.

Then the bell wrung.

"Bye guys, Kristen let's go". I told her because me and her are in the same class.

I dragged her arm all the way to class.

We entered and sat down beside each other.

"Good morning class, today we are going to be learning Statistics". Mrs. Jane said pushing up her glasses and turning around to write.

I copied what she wrote, paying close attention to it, after that she explained it and gave us assignments.

The bell wrung and I went to my locker to get my English book.

As I reached my locker I opened it and brought my books out.

I then went to my English class.

Nate isn't in my of my classes which is annoying considering the fact that he is one of my friends.

I entered the class to see Mrs. Adeola sitting on her desk waiting for us.

When everyone entered she started teaching.

"Alright everyone, bring out your English text book and open to page 69 and do Exercise 1-4. I've taught to this so all of you should know it".

I opened to the exercise and started doing it.

I finished early, so I submitted my work and sat back down.

I rested my head on the table then I felt a paper being thrown at my head, I picked it up and read it, it said:

Roses are red.

Violets are blue.

I have five fingers and the middle one is for you.

I looked around the class to see if anyone will be suspicious, but everyone was doing their class work.

I sighed.

People really are stupid.

I crumbled it and threw it inside the dustbin.

I had Basic Science after that, we bisected a frog. Disturbing.

It was time for lunch and I was currently sitting with Nate.

"Do you still want to study Nate"?. I asked him.

"Sure let's go". He said and stood up.

We got there and sat down.

"So...". I said to him, unsure about why he didn't let me study with Lisa.

He clears his throat, sit up straight and say "Yes, I wanted to ask you something".

I waited for him to continue.

"Will you go out with me. I mean as friends". He said playing with his fingers

"Sure, depending on when, where and how". I told him smiling.

"Maybe this weekend, I'm not sure on when and my parents can drive us or we could just go for a walk". He told me.

"Ok, but let's walk and let's go to... Pleasure Park". I told him.

"Alright, bye. They've wrung the bell". I told him getting my things to stand up.

On my way out I saw him from the corner of my eye fist bumping the air.
