I guess I can start off at the first day of 7th grade, I walked to my locker and entered in my combination. I put all my stuff in that blue narrow space and got what I needed for class, closed it and headed there. This is advisory, my first class obviously and I don't know anyone there. Most of my friends are in different advisories, so I guess first class is boring and shitty. 2nd hour social studies, 3rd hour Language arts and then 4th hour Science. That's homeroom, geez and that's where we first meet because the teacher just had to put us right next to each other. Well it was just alphabetical order apparently..Hehe..I was kinda glad though that it happened, soon after a few classes at our lockers he asked me what my name was because we were "Locker Neighbors" and I responded; "Why the heck would you need to know?" then walked away silently murmuring to myself how annoying he was. Besides I shouldn't be focusing on boys anyways, am I right or am I right?
Days later I always kept thinking when he did something dumb and stupid "Whaat a lame, dumb, idiot and all above that he was straight up annoying." I hated this guy, and not to mention since we're sitting together we got to be partners. Oh joy. Yes, it was more awkward than you think it would be to begin with, I tried to make conversation but that made it even worse. So that's how it kinda started off, but it then start to get better later on. Anyways getting bac-Oh yeah I didn't even tell you his name, sorry. It's Ethan. Although he was a complete idiot he was actually really smart, Ethan did not do his home work unfortunately, but he was in...Advance math and had good grades..Funny to say that because some damn stereotypes expect Asians to be in there as well. So if you think like that then fuck off, because I'm Asian and I suck at math and my grades are pretty shitty. There..
Well I can say that we talked more, and I got used to him cause one, our lockers, two I feel like he's in every DAMN class I in and three we get to be partners A LOT; so I guess you can call it "destiny". (NOT..Probably just coincidence) But one day he was cleaning his locker and I was there because I was bored and it was flex. (Which is a class where you do whatever.) "That is messy.." I said looking inside.
"Yuup, Hey! Do you want this? You can drink it just give the cup back." Ethan handed me a plastic coffee cup from Caribou that had been in the for like a few hours and wasn't cold anymore. I could assume it was a iced coffee but whatever I took it out of hands and was curious, so I took a sip. It tasted interesting but I didn't want it, so I gave it back to him. Funny how he was so comfortable with me, then more days went by and I got more friendly with him. He started to make me smile more because he was actually nice..not to mention he was in my choir class and gym classes. So I got to see him a lot, and I liked those classes a lot too. During class on a random day I tried out for a solo in choir concert and got it, but didn't realize that the solo really belong to someone else, so I got upset. We were at our lockers again because it was passing time and I was pretty down.
"Hey, Ethan..?" I said looking at the ground.
"What?" He responded.
"...Never mind." I shook my head and closed my locker.
"No tell me." He looked at me and I sighed.
"Do you think..I'm a good singer?"
"I Think you're the best" although if he just said it because he didn't want to be mean I didn't care. It made me happy, I really wanted to be his friend really bad now, but then unfortunately I did not know that my feelings started to grow bit by bit.
