"Ms. McComb, Kevin's poster fell." Tate said.

"Oh well." I shrugged.

Kevin was quiet -toward me- for the whole day! Flirting with Lauren nevertheless.
Then claimed he needed to move seats in math.
Like seriously?!
But the interesting part, when Jason asked why Kevin was mad in math yesterday, Kevin ignored him; we both moved uncomfortably in our seats.

I wanted to laugh. He didn't want to admit out loud how stupid it was!





"Hey Selena. Are you and Kevin still fighting?" Jonathan asked.

"As of yesterday... yes." I nodded, sitting on top of Bella's desk.

Ms. McComb laughed.

"As of yesterday! Haha." She laughed.

"But they're always fighting! But you know what will be funny? When they get married. See they fight because they have the same birthday. But this has been going on forever!" Sofia explained.

My jaw almost dropped. Can I keep her? She is like the only one who pays attention?! Wow!

"But watch! They'll start dating and get married and laugh at all this-"

"Why does everyone say that?!" I exclaimed, jumping off the desk.

"Everyone says we'll date and get married! Like why?" I threw my hands up and slapped them down.

"I don't." Ms. McComb said.

"Well not you but everyone else."

"I don't think you guys will." Tate shrugged.

"Thank you! When people tell me this again, I'm using you." I laughed.

Tate laughed.

But on the inside I was more, 'Awe? Why can't you see us together?'



"But speaking of that, you two need to cut that out." Ms. McComb said, suddenly serious.

"What?" I scrunched my nose up.

"That running around you two were doing the other day. The disrupting class. You two are going to stop that."

"But it wasn't during class."

"It was in a classroom."

I almost yelled, "It wasn't your classroom!"

"But that was at lunch!" I said instead.

"Still."

I groaned.

"You two will not do this or there will be parent conferences scheduled."

"Whatever." I mumbled and turned around.

Screw her.

Can you spell homeschooling next semester?

***

I messaged Kevin on Facebook and texted him. No answer.
He saw the message but didn't reply.

I only messaged him telling him we need to work it out, but he didn't answer me.


There is nothing else I can do.

That's it. I give up.



10-21-13

I've never been so happy the golf boys were gone.

I sat down in English, ready to get the hour over with.

"Wanna see a bad tan?" Dylan said.

"Sure." I shrugged.

I sat with Dylan this hour. And Makayla and Mia. But neither I really was crazy about.

He lifted up his sleeve.

"Wow." I laughed.

"Wanna see an even worse one?" He laughed, lifting up his shirt.

My eyes went wide before I made them go back to normal.

His abs? Hot!

Whoa man!

His abs were white though. But very hot.

And I'm not even going to comment on the black briefs. Just... *desperate sigh inserted here*

I laughed.

"Wow dude you are white." I laughed.

"Right! Then look! This is football tan." He lifted his shorts above his knee.

"Ah football." I laughed.

Yeah. Dylan was hot. Blonde hair, clear blue eyes.

Why couldn't I fall for someone like Dylan?

Oh yeah. That'd be too easy.

"I think the highest vocab grade was a 92% which was two students." Ms. McComb announced.

Everyone started guessing who it was in the class.

"Um... oh! Selena! Selena's like really really smart!" Dylan shouted.

She shook her head no.

"Whoa! Selena." Dylan shook his head at me.

"Hey it wasn't you!" I retorted.

"Yeah but I'm not smart." He smiled at me.

"True." I laughed.







"You guys are chatty." Ms. McComb said.

"No. Kevin's not here." Someone called out.

We all started laughing.

"Actually Kevin is quiet! It's a lot of you so leave Kevin alone and focus on yourselves."

We quieted.

Can someone say guilt? Just because you probably were one of the ones to call him an asshole...

* * *

10-22-13

Kevin was shamelessly flirting with Lauren, again.

Sigh.

I sat uncomfortable in my seat. I really wish I wouldn't be here right now.

I hate seeing him flirt with other girls.



Before I knew it, a finger tapped my arm.

I looked down at my arm before back up.

The poker? Kevin Brooks ladies and gentlemen.

He smiled when his eyes met mine.

He kept a smile on his face as he looked down in a slight laugh, then looked back up.

"Do you um, know the six life zones?" He asked.

I nodded and handed him my hand-out with the life zones on it.

I tried not to smile as I realized last week was forgotten.

The one thing I cringed about was that he knew I'd forgive him. Like I said before, I'm crazy for liking him. Basically it grants him to get away with anything. Mostly anything.

"I feel like a new seating chart!" Ms. A clapped her hands.

Oh my God.

I take it back when I said I didn't want to sit here! I take it back! We just started to talk Ms!

I groaned.







I ended up sitting a whole classroom away from Kevin.

I can hear the updates getting slower and slower...

Sigh.

I sat in front of Sofia which was okay. She was hyper but she was actually really smart.

"How are we supposed to color these?" I asked Ms. A about the life zones. They were complicated.

"Well you know how to draw a tree don't you? Or a deer, or a fox." She said sarcastically.

Bitch who the hell are you talking to! I know she did not just- can she be fired for that?! F*ck you!

"That's not what I asked." I said, in shock.

I was fuming. Mentally throwing darts at her eyes, wringing her neck fuming.

She repeated herself.

I rolled my eyes.

She finally just gave me a life zone packet.

"I hate when teachers do that." Sofia rolled her eyes.

I nodded.

Don't treat me like I'm stupid. Last time I checked, I was smarter than you and your kids. And you're hyperactive kid Fall is a bitch.

"If you don't know how to draw a tree or a fox, please go pick up a packet on my desk." the teacher announced.

"Don't say it like I'm stupid." I rolled my eyes.

She walked over and crouched down.

"Don't think I didn't hear your little chit-chat." She told Sofia and I.

We pretended to be confused.

"Saying, 'Oh I hate when teachers do that'." She called us out.

"I was talking about Damien." Sofia pointed to the boy next to her.

Ms. A nodded and left.

I gotta give that lie to Sofia.

* * *

Kevin walked behind me and felt my hair.

"Wha- did you just- feel my hair?" I asked.

"Yeah." He chuckled.

I felt it.

At least it was soft...

Leave it to me to make sure my hair was soft as apposed to why the hell he did it.

"So... you don't play sports huh?" Kevin asked.

I shook my head.

"Like at all?" he asked.

"No. Not really the... athletic type." I mumbled.

"Oh." He nodded.









I was laughing away with Team G.O.D.

"Turn your books to page 275." Ms. Davis said.

"Well I guess I better go sit by Selena." Kevin smiled and picked up his chair and moved next to me.

I couldn't help but find myself smiling.

I loved these boys.

Hated them of course but loved them nonetheless.

Kevin put his binder on his desk along with mine.

"Let's hope no one throws it at me this time." I mumbled.

Kevin got quiet.

I'm not sure if he heard me, but if he did I hope it made him feel a tad guilty, because he never appologized.





The whole math period, he destracted me and made us behind in our work.

Sure we argued a little.

Like how -(-3) became -(-3) first then +3 later.

But that was nothing.

We also laughed.

"I can't get these darn tiles out." I groaned.

"Let me try." Kevin laughed, sticking his hand with mine.

I pulled his out.

When I pulled my hand out, he stuck his in the bag.

I laughed and tried to pull his hand out. He laughed and pulled up a handful of tiles, about to take them out.

"Oh my God please no!" I said quickly.

He smiled slightly before letting it go.

Realizing I was still practically holding his hand, I let go. Is it weird his hands were always cold?

Mine were always -usually- warm.

Great. Another thing that makes us perfect together.

But in a way I didn't mind.

Sevin was back... (:

* * *

I shrugged into my seat in Book Publishing. Stupidest class ever!

All I do is sit and talk to Audie the whole time.

"You know what was weird?" She said as we were talking about Apple, other known as Kevin.

"What?" I tried to make it look like I was doing something.

"You know when you went outside at lunch? He waited like a few seconds and like looked for you, then walked out." She said in a over-excited-weird way.

"Huh?" I looked confused.

She explained again.

"What?" My eyes went wide.

How could I have not noticed? I was too busy talking to Bella about... things. I would say it but it's so awkward just... No.

"Yeah! I know I was like... okay. He like looked at me and I was like, I'm just recording June and Jade dancing for that snapchat I sent you." She laughed.

I laughed and rolled my eyes.

"That was a funny video. I almost got caught watching it in English! Anyways, yeah... that's so weird!" I said about Kevin.

"I know. I found it weird."

"Yeah... very weird." I bit my lip.

What did this even mean?



10-24-13

I adjusted the shirt for the millionth time.

"Are you sure I look okay?" I asked Ally.

"You look good!" She assured.

"I look better." I looked over and saw a smirking Kevin.

"Shut up." I rolled my eyes.

I had to go give cupcakes to little kids, I just hope nothing happened to this outfit.

* * *

By math, I was still fangirling on how cute these kids were.

"We got these twins, Chase and Chance, mixed up but nonetheless they both won and it was so gosh darn cute! And they both took a picture with me! Like awe!" I squealed to Ally as I sat.

She laughed.



We were all looking at our grades from our grade-checks.

"Get out your homework and swap." Ms. Davis announced.

"Okay one of you two trade with me backside I am not trading with him." I told Jake and Jason.

"Yeah I'm not trading with her." Kevin agreed.

Jason and Jake laughed.

Kevin started mumbling incoherent sentences.


"No! You wanna know what he was pissed off about last week?" I retorted to Jason as Kevin just challenged me.

"Nothing-"

"He was mad because I didn't cheat for him." I sat back in my chair and crossed my arms.

Kevin quieted.

I mean, sure it was kind of mean to say, but he started it!



Kevin moved over by Jason and Jake to get help on extra credit. I looked them over.

They were kinda cute together. In the best friends hanging out kind of way. A little stupid, but nonetheless.

"Why are you looking at us like that?" Kevin mumbled, working on his paper.

"Like what?" I hissed, knowing he meant it as an insult.

"Like your eyes get sixteen inches wide." He laughed, having the other boys join him.

I narrowed my eyes.

I didn't exactly hate my eyes... just some days I wish they weren't so big. Thanks for pointing out yet another insecurity douche bag.

Ugh and on the one year anniversiry of Little Things too like what the hell bro?!

* * *

"Kevin! Dylan! Sit over here!" Jonathan called the boys from behind me.

Oh no. The empty spots were behind me.

Oh great.

We were at a healthy eating assembly.

We all held an apple to get a picture. I don't even like apples. They make my teeth feel weird.

But that's besides the point.

Kevin and Dylan filed by me.

Kevin sat next to Bella, having to scoot close to her due to lack of space.

I'll admit, I was jealous and wanted to push Bella over a little, but I was overreating. Unnesseccary.

Dylan sat next to the girl next to me.

"Okay everyone take a bite of your apple and hold it up!" the photographer, Ms. A, announced.

"But I don't like apples." I sighed.

"Want me to take a bite for you?" Kevin asked.

I nodded and held it up for him.

He leaned down and took a huge bite of my apple.

"Thanks." I smiled.

I turned around and posed with the apple.

I debated on eating it after his bite because the reason I also didn't eat apples was the skin.

"So now what do I do with this?" I shrugged to the girl next to me.

"I can eat it Selena."

"Okay." I handed Kevin the red apple.

He took it gladly, taking yet another huge bite of it, then continuing with a bite to his apple.

Remember how I told you Audie and I call Kevin, Apple?

Yeah....

Apple ate my apple.

Awkward...

~~~~~

Speaking of Awkward! I missed Awkward the other night! So I set my alarm to wake up at 11:30 (that's what time it airs here) and I sleep through it! It goes off every five minutes for an hour! I'm pretty sure the alarm just didn't work but seriously MTV have you ever heard of reruns?

Bleh!

I liked the irony in the last part xD

Okay vote and comment (:
