Life was... back to normal after a week. Of course I still talked to Micheal but everything else was just okay. Andrew was still in my art class but he sat at a different table, a far away table. We didn't have any eye contact, nothing. It was like 8th grade all over again, we didn't exist to each other.
"Bye mom" I wave as I bite into my sandwich and start to close the door.
"Wait, you forgot your bottle" She said as she rushed over to hand it to me.
"Thanks" as I stuff the bottle into my backpack jump down the steps onto the street. Walking to the bus stop in the morning was horrible, it was still freaking cold outside and I think I could just freeze to death out here.
As I walk up the giant slope and turn right I see the bus two blocks away.
"Fuck, fuck, fuuuuck" I say as I make a run for the bus stop.
"Waaaaiit" I groan as all the kids waiting at the bus stop turn to look at me.
I think I could've made it to the bus stop in time even without shouting.
I slowly step onto the bus out of breath and take a seat in the middle.
I sink into my chair and look out the of the window at the houses.
They said it was going to snow heavily tonight, I just might have a snow day tomorrow if I'm lucky.
I stare at the house and the people on the streets. This is such a, undiverse neighborhood, really though.

Coach Gluk came up to me as he was walking out of the office while me and Julie were shooting basketballs.
"Did you win?" He asks.
"What?" I say, raising my eyebrow.
"Yesterday for fencing" He clarifies.
"I-I'm not on the fencing team" I say awkwardly wide eyed.
"Oh, I thought all the cool people were on the fencing team" He says patting my shoulder while walking away.
I look at Julie wide eyed.
What the fuck was that, you just fucking stereotyped me Gluk! Sure, a lot of asians fence in this school but not me! Don't assume.
She started to laugh and I just stared at her.
"I-I don't know what to say" I said dumbfounded "he even tried to get away with it by saying cool people..." I laugh.
"Don't worry about it" she laughs as she goes back to shooting.
Great, as I look at the clock I wave to Julie "See you later".
I grab my bag and make my way to Spanish as the bell rings.
"Hey Micheal" I smile as I see him walking too.
I immediately drop my smile as I see the same red hoodie walk out of a door, laughing and talking to a guy.
"Mai?"
"Yeah, hi" I laugh "Sorry, I was thinking about something".
"How come you're so sweaty?" he laughs.
"Day B, gym after chem remember?"
"Right" He nods.
As we silently walk to class I see people giggling, smiling, and laughing. Things I don't really feel like doing.
I drop my head back and groan as I walk into the classroom. What the hell! I told myself I was never going to get into love and the mushy stuff ever again, I just wanted to focus on my grades but nooooooo I had to see him again. This was just beginning to be a daily occurrence, seeing him then being sad, then being mad at myself for being sad.
Well at least I have art club today. Nothing will ruin that.
I won't post anything tomorrow but starting on February 1st to the 28th I'll be posting a chapter a day!
