My Life
"Crystal, Crystal, CRYSTAL!"
"What!" I asked as I was shocked out of my trance.
"Well its nice for you to join us again, so as I was saying how many atoms are in – what are you drawing?" My science teacher Ms. Cloud asked
"Nothing" I replied quickly "It's nothing" I hid the paper in my binder that I used to store all my work that pertains to my "world," You see I'm not sure why but a few months ago I started to space out more than I usually do (stupid ADHD) and dream about this place. I can't really describe it but it was perfect. Peaceful, relaxing, fun, I had tons of friends, and there was adventure which was something I've longed for. My life was so boring every day it was get up, go to school, do homework, go to bed and that's it, here the days were more like get up, survive, go back to bed. Now which life sounds more exciting? Anyways back to science class we were talking about atoms and how many atoms are in elements and the like and I was kept zoning out. When I was so rudely interrupted I happened to be working on a picture of what one of the people in my world looked like. This guy was my age and had black hair, olive skin and eyes that were so brown they were almost black. I also decided to go with his look he should be goth, not emo, goth. So after Ms. Cloud decided I wasn't worth the trouble and went to interrogate my friend Alexis and I knew I was safe.
You see Alexis knows almost everything in the world. You wanna know about something ask her it doesn't matter if it's about how to mix chemicals to make them explode (ah fun times) or decoding Shakespeare, she can do it. So she began answering the questions Ms. Cloud wanted answered and I went back to drawing. Now when you read this don't go thinking I'm stupid, cuz I'm not, science and math just aren't my thing. I am however, great at S.S. and English especially Greek mythology. But I'm best in music. That's the one class I always know what I'm doing. I love to sing and play instruments and well actually I'm pretty good at almost anything that has to do with the arts, although I still can't find an instrument that I can play well. I can however sing, act, dance and draw, well kinda I'm not the best at drawing, but I certainly don't entirely suck at it. When Ms. Cloud was done with Alexis and about to move onto some other unfortunate kid, the bell rang.
"THANK GOD!" my friend Josh yelled as we stepped outside. "Her class is so boring and I was afraid I was gonna be next and forced to use my ninja skills" as he said that he proceeded to tuck and roll across the hall to his next class.
"Oh Josh." Alexis and I both said with a sigh as we walked away.
"So what were you doing when she called on you? She said your name like 10 times before you finally looked up." Alexis looked and me questioningly.
"Um..." I stammered. See I hadn't exactly told anyone about my fantasy world yet and I figured my friends would laugh cuz it was kind of lame so I just said "Um I was doodling like always" I said quickly hoping I sounded convincing.
"Oh I think we know what she was doodling about" and singsong voice said from behind us. We turned around to see our friend Elizabeth (Liz for short) come up behind us. She and I have been friends forever but her and Alexis have only known each other a little while and it's scary how close they've become so quickly. What's even scarier is how different they are. Alexis has curly black hair that goes to her shoulders, tan skin and grey eyes. Ya that's right grey eyes. They don't look weird though they look strong, powerful and full of knowledge. Liz has blonde hair, bright blue eyes and fair skin. Unlike Alexis she's not super smart; she's not dumb, just not super smart in classes however, if you wanna know the latest gossip go to her. She knows everything thing that goes on in the school from whose going out with who to what teacher is giving a pop quiz today. She's also the kind of girl who only has to look at a guy to get him to like her. So that makes her great to go to for guy advice right? Well yes she can give you a makeover and make you look amazing and no, she is good at helping get a guy to like you but, she feels she knows everything about how people feel about each other and what's the most annoying thing about that? She's usually right. So she skipped up to us and said "I bet Crissy (my nick name that she came up with) was doodling about *giggles* Josh" and with that a large smile spread across her face.
"I WAS NOT!" I yelled although I could feel myself starting to blush.
"Oh I knew you were!" She squealed.
"Uggg" I knew I wasn't gonna win an argument with her so I just ignored her and walked to my locker. Inside someone had pushed a note through the little slots in the door. I opened it carfully (just in case it was going to explode, its happened) and inside was a drawing of a guy I made for my world and a note. I put the drawing in my binder and looked at the note it read
"Hey Crissy what's this? It kinda looks like Josh only ya no, older and hotter. Anyways let me know when you get this signed Sylvia"
Shoot I thought to myself Sly had found one of my drawings and not just anyone the one that I guess looks kinda like Josh (although it wasn't ment to). At first I wondered how I dropped it cuz I'm usually really careful with my stuff then I remembered oh wait Sly found it so I probably didn't lose it. You see Sylvia is one of my best friends but you should always keep one hand on your wallet when she's around. She's a master thief and one of the fastest kids in our school. She's really nice though and loves to play practical jokes on everyone. So you just gotta be careful or else she might talk to Alexis and make your locker explode glitter and confetti. (Thats happened too) Well it could have been worse I thought she could have found the one I drew of her or Liz or Alexis. Anyway I ran to catch my bus and the whole way home I day dreamed about my world, wishing it was real.
So how was it? Did it suck? (eh it probally did... oh well) Anyways tell me what i need to improve on by clicking that nice little review button at the bottom of this screen. :)
