Chapter three

It's been two days since the incident. You know with Lizzy and the principal. These days that had passed had gone pretty fast. All I did was go to class, hang out with Chancellor, Fashia, and the new girl Katie Lynetta. After school, we would usually go to the mall and shop for a decently large amount of money both days. I think the total would be about 120 dollars.

I woke up at 7.00 am to my stepbrother's yelling to me that the school bus soon would be leaving. The fact that the school bus was about to pass in just some minutes. Just the night before I had fallen asleep in my school uniform so I didn't have to stress about that. I brushed through my hair as rapidly as possible and took the sandwich my mom had made earlier. By this time it had passed about 3 minutes which meant the bus would be here in 2 minutes. The bus station where it would pick us up was just a minute walk away so I started to walk at a higher speed just to make sure I was in time and didn't get left behind.

The bus came and I'm now starting to go up on the stairs to later walk back to the seats at the back where I, Chancellor, Fashia, and now also Katie Lynetta were sitting every day. As I sat down I started to relax to the point where I almost fell asleep but it was something that didn't add up. I started hearing everyone's thoughts again which hadn't happened in a long time now. To be honest I don't think it happened for weeks so this was strange. There also was this one voice that stood out to me more than others. It was Lizzie Charles's thoughts. She thought about the new boy Ayat Lynetta but also about how she would like to have a relationship just like Dix and Mimi or mine and Chancellor. It was odd. She had never thought about a relationship with someone before. And now, yeah all she thought about was her being in a relationship with someone. As odd as it was and with the thought that until the next bus stop it was about 10 minutes so none of my friends would observe it. I walked to her and took the seat next to her at the front. That's when I asked her what she meant by wanting a relationship just like Dix and Mimi or mine and Chancellor.

-Uhmm. What do you mean? She said as her cheeks turned to a bright red color.

-I mean why would you fantasize about something you'll never even get? I said to her questioning her.

-Uhm-.. I guess I could always dream? Sorry, I shouldn't be talking back to you... She said scared.

-No, you shouldn't but why dream when you won't even get close to something like that? I answered her.

-I... I don't know... She said but in her thoughts, I could hear her thinking that she indeed had a chance of getting a boyfriend. And that was Ayat Lynetta.

-Oh. So you do have a fling going on with the new guy huh? DID YOU HEAR EVERYONE? LIZZIE THINKS SHE HAS A CHANCE WITH THE NEW GUY! I informed everyone at the bus and directly after I went back to my seat and started to listen to everyone chattering and whispering about Lizzie and Ayat. Thought to my surprise the majority om school were supportive and began to ship them together. But I guess people do ship nerds to nerds and popular to popular. And at least they aren't shipping them to my friends.

The bus just arrived at school and it's time to start the day. As I walk into school I hear how Fashia is trying to keep up with me. The bus had arrived late for school so I almost got late to class. We have maths as the first lesson and it's just preparations for the test next week so I won't miss too much when arriving. Mrs. Scott is our maths teacher and as long as the reason for being late is valid she is fine with it which other teachers can be strict about. Like not even the bus excuse would be something they took serious. They would just say "yeah yeah, well that's not my problem? You are late for MY lesson, next time just be on time okay".

-Welcome to class. Mrs. Scott said to us.

-Thank you, Mrs. Scott. Class said in a choir to her.

-Today we're just going to look into what's coming up in the test. Mrs. Scott told us. - Firstly we'll go through the basics from the last chapter in the maths book. She continued. - Open the book on page 130.

You could hear the pages turn as everyone always listened to her instructions and did as she said. Some of us hadn't picked up the books since we were late. The other sounds you could hear were zippers and benches opening and closing as we picked out our mathematic books.

She went through all the important steps to remember in this chapter and we got through two chapters at the lesson which helped a lot of us who had had it hard to listen to the lessons due to personal stuff.

-Thank you for today's lesson kids and I'll see you all tomorrow. Mrs. Scott said and waved us goodbye.

-Thank you Mrs. Scott and see you tomorrow. We said to her as we were walking out of class.

The next class is on P.E so I'm on my way to the lockers to get my P.E uniform and to walk to the dressing room. I'm hurrying as much as I can so that I can change by myself. Even though it may not look like it I am pretty insecure about my body and I'm not a fan of changing in front of people. In class today I think we're only going to run a few miles which isn't too bad. I'm changing into the P.E uniform which is a pair of black slim-fitted shorts and a white t-shirt with our logo on the right side of my chest. I and Fashia are walking into class together and I see Chancellor and run into his arms to hug him. To my surprise, he isn't hugging me back but instead is trying to get me away and is just holding my hand.

-Welcome to P.E class! Mr. Williams welcomed us.

-Thank you, Mr. Williams.

-Today we change what I told you last time and we'll be doing some strength but before you get too disappointed we will still run but just a mile. So off you go, and I'll see you back here in 10 minutes. Mr. Williams said and opened the doors from the P.E hall.

I started to run the trail and I was done in 6 minutes. That's a personal record but now I'll just have to wait for the others and then we'll start with strength.
