😶" Same Day "😶

💀" 3rd Period Class (Art Class)"💀

😗" Max's POV "😗

I'm tired. Absolutely positively tired. So tired I can't even let my mind wander off and create a drawing on my page.

All I've done on my page is make swiggly lines, zigzag lines, and just a whole bunch of lines and scribbles.

Today, we're supposed to be drawing something that means a whole lot to us. I know what it is already I just can't think of how to draw it.

"Hey?", someone says as more of a question as they tap my shoulder. I shake my head and I'm pulled back to reality.

I see the one quiet girl sitting next to me. I look at her with a tired smile.

"Yeah?", I ask and she points to the drawing I made

"What's the meaning of that?", she asks and I look over at it.

"I'm too tired to think but I guess in a way, it's the story of my life. All scribble scrabble and messed up.", I tell her putting my pencil down to get some sleep but the teacher yells my name.

"MAX! WHY IN THE WORLD ARE YOU SLEEPING?!", she exclaims and I put my head back up.

"I didn't get any sleep last nigh-", I start to say but she cuts me off.

"I don't care! How about you come up here and show the class what you have drew so far.", she says in more of a demand then a question.

"Um.... Sure, I guess.", I say hesitantly getting up but almost tripping over thin air, and probably my own two feet.

After I almost trip I continue walking up to the front of the class. I hand my sketch book to the teacher and she slightly scoffs at me.

"What is this?!", she exclaims and I shrug.

"I would've actually drew something if I had some kinda sleep, even if it was just 5 minutes of sleep, then at least my brain would be able to sleep but, I couldn't get a wink of sleep last night.", I tell her and shrug once again. I take my sketch book back from her and go back to my seat.

I could her whispers and snickering going on around the classroom.

'I wonder what she drew.'

'What did she do to make the teacher so ticked off?'

"Do you really think her drawing was that bad that the teacher even show it?'

I roll my eyes and close my sketch book. I put arms on the desk and then close my eyes.

What seems to be not to long after but was probably 30 minutes or so after I feel a tap on my shoulder. I open my eyes and see that the girl was tapping my shoulder.

"Hey the teacher giving you the one glare that says 'If you don't get up now I'll kill you'", she says to me and I look up at the teacher to the teacher to see that she is indeed glaring at me like that.

I yawn, stretch my arms out above me, and then open my sketch book to a clean page and start drawing. I thank the lord that I have about one hour left before class is over.

😅" 50 Minutes Later "😅

Aaaand done! I think to myself and jump out of my seat. I drew 4 people holding hands with smiles on their faces. I wrote Friendship at the top in cursive and put a heart before the word and the one after the word.

I start to pack up my things but leave my sketch book out. The teacher starts walking around the classroom looking at our drawings. When she reaches mine she seems quite surprised that I finished it in less than an hour.

She shakes her head and continues on.

"Alright everyone. I will be grading the drawing you have made today the next time you come to my class.", she says and the bell rings and we all stand up from our desks and hurry out of the door.

"I hope all of you have a good day!!", she says practically yelling.

"You too!", I exclaim before leaving her class and going my last period of today which is music.

👻" At Music Class "👻

😐" Just After The Tardy Bell Rings "😐

"GOOD MORNING CLASS!", the music teacher's voice yells. I end up on the floor after I jumped up outta my seat. He freaking scared me with his unexpectedness. (Is that even a word. Oh well, if it's not guess who just made a new word?!)

"Ow.", I grumble under my breath dusting myself off with my butt still hurting.

"Good morning.", the class says to the teacher then looking back at me. I roll my eyes at them.

"Okay, y'all are being annoying. Laugh at me all you want. Hahaha it's so funny that someone fell off of their chair cause they were startled! Oh yes, so freaking funny!", I exclaim laughing sarcastically and then stopping and making a pouty face then sitting in my seat.

"Ookay.... anyways!", the teacher says and starts speaking about something we'll be doing in his class all this week when we went to his class.

"Max, Shelby, Trenity, Tyler, Shane, and Andrew. You 6 will be singing for us.", he says my eyes widen and my mouth opens in shock.

I can't do that! I'm gonna end up embarrassing myself! I think to myself as I raise my hand.

"Excuse me, sir?", I say to him and he looks over at me then nods.

"Yes Max.", he says and I take deep breath.

"I can't do that! I can't even sing good enough to save my life!", I say to him.

Well I mean I guess that's kind of a lie. I mean, I've plenty of people tell me I'm good at singing but, that was only co workers and my boss from the Cafe.

"Well Max, if you were paying attention to what I was saying from the beginning you would know I said, that there is no changing your position or my mind.", he says to me and internally groan and sit back down.

I can already tell, I'm going to hate life... again. I think to myself waiting for the final announcements.

Ya know like, what song we're performing, the rest of the positions, etc.

After a while of the teacher naming positions and what not he starts passing out paper. One for each child in the class right now.

"Alright everyone. This will be the song that we'll be performing in the next few months. So, you guys will need to study it.", he says and mumbles something under his breath almost inaudibly but I heard it.

"If we even make it that far.", he mumbles under his breath and I sigh with an eye roll.

Goes to show how much faith he has in us. I think to myself just as the bell rings.

😗" Lunch Time "😗

"YUMMY YUM YUM IN MY TUMMY TUM TUM!!!", I yell in a sing song voice as I start to walk to the table with Tyler, Haylee, Scarlet, and Daisy not to far behind me.

"This child is weird.", I hear Daisy say and I laugh with an eye roll as I sit down and start to eat my lunch.

"It's called, I'm just acting like myself! I am not weird, I'm limited edition!", I say to her as she sits down next to me.

"No, your just weird.", Scarlet pipes up in a sing-song tone.

"Yeah, whatever. I'm fucking weird what's your point!", I exclaim with my mouth full of food and Daisy gives me a look of disgust and then gags.

"Can you please not talk with your mouth full!", she says in more of a demand then question and I look at then purposely speak with my mouth full again because, well because I can be a smart-ass, so much so that it might get me in trouble or killed one day.

"No. I have rights!", I say and she rolls her eyes.

"It's gross!", she argues and I shrug.

"Okay. Your point is what exactly?", I ask and then swallow what food was in my mouth.

"My point is th-", Daisy starts to say before being cut off.

"Hey, what's that thingy?", Scarlet asks and I look up at him confused look on my face.

"Hmm? Oh yeah that thingy!", I say realizing that he was talking about the music sheet thing from music class.

"That's some music thing that I have to study. Tyler has to study it too. And I'm gonna have to sing.", I say in a monotone voice and she nods.

"Oh, okay. That must be fun.", she says and I give a 'are you serious' look.

"Dude, I literally don't wanna sing! I'm terrible at it!", I exclaim over dramatically.

"You're not alone.", Tyler says and nervously chuckles.

"Okay fine. Let's forget about for now and eat.", I say and they all nod in agreement as we resume eating our food.
