Average would be the word to describe me. I'm average at everything. I'm average smart, average body, average face, average everything. I hope someday, I can be more than just average.
Thursday
I couldn't believe what the note said. I scratched the back of my head and looked back to him. I was speechless. It said "I heard what you said earlier so I know how you feel but I want to be something more with you". I started to feel hot and warm. My cheeks felt warm, I was probably blushing. Cayden looked at me worried and both angry. He looked at back at Elijah and grinned. I did not know what to say. I put the note in my pocket of my skirt. It was perfect for hiding things in. Cayden leaned over to me and whispered "hey, I need to tell you somethin—". "Hush, no talking", Ms. Vareldzis yelled sternly. I mean was he being serious in his note? Could I actually start to have feelings for him? My mind is racing with thoughts.
Friday
It was just another casual day, right? How was I supposed to act around him now? I felt worried already. My hands were sweaty and I haven't even seen him yet. "So how was detention", Olive asked smiling. I realized I had been spacing out for a while. "It was just as detention is", I replied. "Anything interesting happen", Casey questioned. Only Elijah telling me he is interested in me and I don't know what to do. "Nothing at all", I answered. "Yeah, Lucy isn't like that", Drew said eyeing me. I smiled at him. "You should be careful, though, he is popular and a lot of girls like him", Casey said. "That reminds me, I heard Jennifer saying she had feelings for him, it looks like you got some competition", Olive gossiped. I just ignored them, it wasn't worth replying to them. Mrs. Kramer waved her hand over at us to follow her. When I got to the classroom, I slumped in my chair and sighed. "It's Friday, smile", Drew said as he sat across from me. "Hey Drew, what's good", Elijah said confidently as he dapped Drew up. "Hey Lucy", he said smiling. "Hey", I said nervously. "I was wondering if you had any plans this weekend", he asked rocking back and forth on the toes and heels of his feet. I squished my thighs together. What do I do? "Well, this weekend, I have—", I said before Drew interrupted me saying "no, she has nothing planned and is filled with excitement, she'll go with you to the movies tonight". My eyes widened as large as golf balls. My mouth dropped. "Alright, so I will see you then", Elijah replied walking away. "You are welcome", Drew said happily. "No, no, and no. How do you know what I want", I said irritated. "Cause I see the way you look at him", he replied. I didn't know what to say. "What does that even mean", I said in a low voice. The bell rang. Drew seemed kind of angry. I did not know how he was feeling. He started to walk away in a hurry. "Drew, we are not done with our conversation", I yelled. He ignored me. During English, I could not help but wonder what do I do? Do I go on the date? Do I say I am not feeling well? Was Drew angry at me? My mind was racing even more than before. I need to clear my head somehow. "Mrs. Smith, can I go to the bathroom", I asked. She nodded in response. As I shut the door, I could not help but sigh. It felt so good to get away from class. Maybe I should go on a date with him. I don't know. The thought of a date is terrifying, but what if what Drew said was true. I opened the door to the main hallway to see the bathrooms. When I did, I saw them. I wanted to cry.
