'Just another boring day...' I think to myself as I enter the front entrance of my school. 'I need to start waking up earlier so I stop missing the bus' I think as I walk to my 1st period. As I approach the doorway, I see Megan standing there.
She's one of my best friends. We've only known each other for one year but we're pretty close. She has long straight black hair and wears glasses. She's Asian and she's really pretty. Honestly, I'm really jealous of her.
She looks towards my direction and shouts my name " Maria! I've been looking for you! Why weren't you on the bus? I have news for you!"
She definitely seems excited about something. "I slept in and my mom had to drive me." I say to her. She grabs me by the arm and drags me into the classroom. I look around and see that the desks are moved around again. My teacher moves the desks pretty much every week.
I rush over to where my friends are to keep anyone else from sitting down wear I want to sit. I immediately put my stuff on two different desks to save a spot for my other best friend, Thomas. He's taller than me, well then again everyone is. He's got blue eye and freckles. His natural hair color is brown but at the moment, the top of it is dyed red. It looks really cool. In my opinion, he's really cute. He's funny and just ughhh. I really like him if you couldn't tell.
I look around for him but I don't see him. "Hey Megan, where's Thomas at?" I ask her.
"He wasn't on the bus.. but speaking of him I need to tell you something!" She says to me.
I eye her suspiciously. "Well.. go on with it. Spill it out," I reply to her.
She starts talking, "Okay.. so last night we were talking and he told me he liked me and I like him too! We kept talking all night and now we are dating! I was honestly really surprised that he liked me. I've liked him for a really long time. I don't know how you do it.. To not like anyone. I wouldn't be able to do it."
I just stand there in shock. I realize that I need to say something to her. Anything. 'Come on Maria! Say something! Your best friend/crush and your other best friend are dating! Just smile and say you are happy for them..' "Oh! That's great." I smile "I didn't know you liked him though... why didn't you tell me?" I ask her.
"I just thought that you would just try to get us together and do all that forcing stuff, you know? Like how you did with Sam and me?" She says.
"Oh, yeah. Like with Sam and you...," I say back to her.
She looks behind me and smiles. I know why she's smiling. It's Thomas of course. I don't even need to turn around to tell. I just sense his presence.
Him and I kind of have this thing where we know when one of us is around. It's kinda strange.
I look back and see him walking towards us. He smiles at Megan and hugs her. He sets his stuff down besides me. He knows that I always save a seat for him.
I look at him and he smiles kinda awkwardly at me. I look down at my desk quickly. I know he knows I like him. He probably feels bad for me. I know he would never like me. I just stare at my desk, I can feel him looking at me. I don't want to talk to anyone right now. I sit down and put my head on the desk. I wrap my arms around me and just sit there.
A few minutes pass by, then ten, then twenty. My friends Zach and Travis try to get me to tell them what's wrong. Of course, I refuse.
Zach is one of my close friends but Travis and I aren't as close. They are both taller than me. Like I said, everyone is taller than me. Zach is Indian and has black hair and he's also really skinny. Travis is taller than Zach. He's dark skinned and he's got a "baby" afro going on. He's skinny but muscular.
I sit there not talking to anyone. I just do the work my teacher gave me. My friends were surprised I was actually doing my work for once and not talking. As soon as the bell rang I leave as fast as I can, not wanting anyone to question me.
