Where'd our lives go?
Chapter 1: Long school day
Simon frowned as the bell to his class ended; Trigonometry was so boring to him. "Now don't forget to do the five pages assigned for homework." the teacher droned as he filed out.
"There's an hour of my life I could be spending on a higher level class" he thought. He scurried over to his locker and began to pick books out of it. I wonder if Brittany remembers we have a date tonight to collect... wait, did I just say 'date'? No, it's just an assignment, I wouldn't even think like that.... would I? He thought to himself She is rather pretty, and... No, this is purely scholastic He thought as he entered his next class and his eyes landing on her and she turned to look at him, he blushed and took his seat next to her. I really hope she doesn't figure out what I was thinking, wait what am I saying, she's not a mind reader
"Umm, Hi Brittany, please don't forget about our da.... I mean, ummm, meeting tonight for our Biology assignment tonight" He reminded her, tapping her on her shoulder shyly to make sure that she had heard what he said.
"Yeah yeah," Brittany said, rolling her eyes. "I'll be there at four o' clock sharp" she said with mock enthusiasm as she pulled out a compact and checked her make-up.
"Actually, I thought we agreed on right after school?" Simon asked confused, she'd never make it to her home and back by four anyway, usual Brittany, he thought to himself as the bell rang, his glasses slid slightly off of his nose and he pushed them back on.
"Alright class, please turn to your books to page 47 and start reading about the reproduction process of humans." The teacher said as class actually started, this prompted several groans and some snickers from the class and Simon simply pushed the book closed, having read the entire book twice already.
"I'll be there after school alright?" Brittany said absent-mindedly. She looked over at Simon as he was leaning back in his seat bored.
"Oh, umm…. Alright." Simon said as he sat his chair back on the ground, "Where do you want to head first to collect the leaves?" he asked her
"I don't know, anywhere that will get it over quickly." She said to him as she looked at him more intensely this time. "When are you ever going to change how you fix your hair?" she asked him.
"Excuse me?" he asked, caught off guard. "I wasn't aware that I should be fixing it any other way." He said smugly
"I'm just saying, no reason to get snippy." She shot back and him
"Well, I don't know, maybe I'll start changing it." He said to her as the bell rang, he gathered his things up and scurried away to his locker again, he opened it and threw his hands against the mounds of books inside, he grabbed his English book and gently slammed it and turned to go to his next class
"Si… AHH!" a girlish scream came as he turned around and bumped into a lavender clad girl, spilling the contents of her arms everywhere and knocking her glasses off of her face.
"Oh my goodness, Jeanette!" He cried, dropping his stuff to run and grab his glasses then helped her up, "you have to be more careful." He said to her looking into her eyes. "You're going to get hurt" he said to her as he helped her pick her stuff up.
"Yeah, I guess I should have spoken up a little sooner." She said blushing, "So Si… I was just wondering…" she started as her gathered his own things
"Sorry Jeanette I've got to run." He said to her before he scurried out of sight.
Simon waited propped against the side of the building, his backpack hanging from one shoulder. He sighed and looked at his watch "Of course she's late." He said to himself, he looked up to see two figures screaming at each other, moving closer he decided to move closer to hear and see that the fighting was from his older brother Alvin and Brittany.
"I don't give a crap what you think; I'm not going out with you, for the LAST time!" Brittany said as she slapped him across the face and turned away from him, Simon could see tears streaking from her eyes before she tried to wipe them away.
Simon straightened himself up and pretended not to see anything as Brittany rounded the corner and was still crying, "Brittany?" he asked, and she jumped a little.
Brittany looked shocked and looked up at him "Oh, hello Simon," she said wiping her eyes. "I'm ready to start this stupid project" she said behind her tears.
"Brittany, let's sit down" he said to her, he gently grabbed her by the shoulders and guided her to the ground on the side of the building. "Brittany, what's wrong?" he asked her gently
"Oh my gosh, it's your stupid moron of a brother!" she half screamed, she turned to him and wiped a single tear from her cheek. "He verbally abuses me and teases me and picks on me, and then on top of all of THAT he decides to ask me out! THE NERVE!" she screamed bursting into tears.
"There there Brit, Alvin doesn't know what he's doing, especially if he's hurting you." He said to her, gently rubbing her shoulder. "Besides, he doesn't deserve someone as amazing as you and you don't deserve someone as low as him" he said, mentally wincing at how he described his brother
"Yeah, I guess." She said, she slumped a little and leaned against his shoulder, Simon stiffened. "Simon?" she said, looking into the big blue orbs that were staring back at her. "How do you always know how to get people to feel better?" she asked him
"I ummm…. I" He said before she managed to start talking again
"I mean, you helped Jeanette be more confident in herself and you helped Ellie and Theodore together." She said to him, calming down more, she looked back up at him, noticing that he never took his eyes off of her.
"Yeah, I guess I did, it's what I do I guess." He said, looking at her. "Well," he, started helping her up "Maybe we should get this project started, I mean, since you feel better now" He said to her, smiling as he saw her lips widen and her nod
"Ok, let's hit the woods first." She suggested.
