Gym Class

Chapter 3

Today my school had a little fair type thing. We had to go to our first two classes regularly, for me that was Drama and Science. Drama was fun, we mostly just played games the whole time anyways. Science was a bore. Mr Reyes didn't have any funny stories like he normally did so he lectured us about stars and shit.

Finally I had math class. Math class was awesome. Math wasn't my strong suit but the people in there were a hell of a lot of fun. I was kind've the class clown in there, like most of my classes. I was constantly making jokes and the teacher would tell someone they were having a 'Tess moment' if they gave an extremely stupid answer. I didn't mind it. It was Kind've funny.

With 15 minutes left of class we got called down to the gym for a lip sync battle. Once in the gym I met up with Kayla, Amanda, Jessica, Jaime and Olivia. The first guy performing was really good but the song was horrible. Then there were two teachers who dressed up as Anna and Olaf and 'sang' Love Is An Open Door.

More and more people went and then we got to the final group. It started with a boy and a girl on stage and it was basically girls against boys. There was a mash-up with half the songs being about how strong girls are and the other half being about how awesome guys are. At the very end they were all 'fighting' to have the best pose when one of the girls got on the other's back. The third girl on stage pulled up a chair and when the final beat came, jumped onto the other two girl's backs. All three girls came crashing down with a scream and horrified gasps from everyone else in the audience. The girls were okay, just a little embarrassed.

After we were told we could go outside for hotdogs, popcorn and cotton candy. Jaime really wanted some so we went. On our way out we got separated into two groups so I was left with Jaime, Olivia and Jessica. As soon as we stepped out of the front doors we were greeted with a huge bouncy castle obstacle course. Jessica and I exchanged a small glance and threw our shoes off, handing them to Jaime. We raced to the bouncy castle and waited for our turn. Two people were ahead of us so we had to wait to go.

"Ummm, how the hell do you get through that?" I heard Jessica ask. I looked at what she was talking about. There were three huge cylinders lying horizontally on top of each other. From where we were they looked impossible to get through.

"Go!" We heard from behind us.

We both took off threw the obstacle course. We found our way through those impossible looking cylinders. We stumbled our way up hills and through more blow-up cylinders. We climbed up the final hill which was kind've like a rock climbing wall.

"I won." Jess smirked as we landed at the bottom of the slide. I rolled my eyes as she stuck her tongue out at me. She laughed at me and grabbed my hand dragged me over to Jaime and Olivia.

We stumbled up to the two of them, the bouncy castle seemed to leave us both weak in the knees and caused us to walk weirdly. They were both waiting in line to get some cotton candy so we stood with them. Olivia started talking to Jess about something, I was too distracted by Jessica's smile to pay attention though. Her perfect white smile. She had a small gap between her two front teeth and an overbite but her smile was still the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. I jolted back into reality. Looking up I saw Jaime staring at me. No, not at me, at my hand. It was entwined with Jessica's. I just left it there.

After waiting another 10 minutes for Cotton Candy, we decided to go in the school to see what was set up in there.

"Hey there's yours!" Olivia exclaimed, pointing to one of the drawings that was on display.

I went over to get a better look at it. 'Jessica Love', the drawing said. Half of the drawing was a picture of some girl I had never seen before, and the other half was a drawing of the other side of her face. "This is really good." I told her.
