Turned out I was late for Health with Coach Tanner, it wasn't horrible, but I still wanted to pound my face in a locker. I was that bored. The bell rang an hour later and I was the first one out of the room, and into the hallway. I looked around a little and found Lissa walking with Christian towards the Art room, I'm guessing that's her next class so I ran to catch up with them.
"Hey, Fire Crotch, I can walk her the rest of the way, you can go now, bye!" I shouted as I pushed him around Lissa and back down the hall. He got the nickname Fire Crotch because when we were fifteen, he was screwing around in a science class and something exploded…and something else caught on fire…along with his crotch. Funniest shit ever. Of course now we don't get to do labs, but I can live with that.
"Okay. Liss, so I was talking to Dimitri, and my god. I think I'm crushing on a guy I don't even know." I said in my gossipy voice. She laughed at it along with me, and then got really serious.
"No, Rose. Seriously? You know what happened last time you took Camille's boyfriend, Jesse? Tasha isn't much better, and it'll end the same. Don't do that to yourself." She said. I shuttered at the horrible memory. I know what she means but I just can't help the attraction I feel towards him.
"Lissa. Please, don't bring it up. Just, never mind." I said as I walked away, now disappointed, with Lissa and myself. I walk towards my next class trying to hold in tears that no one would've ever thought id be capable of producing.
When I walked in I saw Dimitri sitting next to where I usually sit, so I walk past him and over to a new seat in the far back corner next to Meredith.
"Hey, Rose, why did you switch spots?" She asked. That's one thing I don't like about people in general. They always what to know stuff.
"Oh, no reason, just like the back more I guess," I said with a slight smile.
"Oh, ok," She smiled back just as Ms. Karp, Coach Tanners girlfriend (insert giggle here), began her class. She wasn't really a horrible teacher...I just really hate English.
"Okay, class, we are going to be writing poems today, not anything complex, just going to put some stuff together." She got the class' attention just as someone walked through the door...Adrian, again, late. I sighed and slumped in my seat knowing something was gonna happen. Ms. Karp continued, "Will everyone please write a poem one loose piece of paper, whether it is one you have heard, or one you have written. We will share them in ten minutes." then she walked over to her desk, and began scribbling on the attendance sheet.
I wonder what I should write about. I mean, I've written songs and stuff but never really a poem. Maybe I can just write down a song and it will pass as a poem? It's worth a try.
I can fly away from here
I can lose all my fears
I can run and not look back
I can dance when the sky turns black
It was the first song I thought of so I just wrote that down then sat and waited for everyone else to finish, which turned out to only be like two minutes. Ms. Karp called Meredith up first and she began reading a poem by some person she likes.
A friend is someone who fills our lives
with beauty, joy, and grace.
And makes the whole world we live in
a better and happier place.

It was actually really cute and something I would read. It reminds me a lot of Lissa. I kind of feel a little bad that I got mad at me…I mean she's only trying to protect me from getting hurt again. Maybe I should apologize after class…yeah ill do that.
Next Ms. Karp called up Camille, then Sophie, and Ralf, Jessica, Katie, Michael, and James. Now its Dimitris' turn and I couldn't wait to hear this.
Do you believe in love at first sight?
I'm sure it happens every day.
But we're too young to know what love is.
At least that's what some people say.
He read…it was perfect. How does someone come up with that? (AN, Actually, I read that but don't really know who wrote it….) It was amazing, the whole time he kept his head at his paper but as applause rang out he looked up, smiled, and sat down. Next was Adrian. Arrrrgggh. And he began….
Rose is in red,
But never in blue,
Sharp as a thorn,
Fights like one too.
He needs to stop that. God, now Dimitri know I like to fight people…actually you can't really call it a fight when im always winning. Now, me. Of course. No one has ever heard anything I have written before so I don't know if it was actually that good. Im really nervous….but I stood up, walked to the front, took in a deep breath, and squeezed my eyes shut as I began to read.
I can fly away from here
I can lose all my fears
I can run and not look back
I can dance when the sky is black
I heard applause before I even knew I was done. I let out a breath. I brushed the fallen wavy brown hair out of my face. Then I gracefully walked back to my seat. I was done.
Soon everyone got done as the last person sat down and Ms. Karp began explaining our next project.
"I will pair you with a partner and you two will have to write five poems. You will not be graded on anything but completion and creativity. Good luck!" then she began pairing us up, this is why she was awesome. Her grading is an easy A! But what she said next was not what I was expecting.
"Dimitri! Rose! Partner up, I can't wait to see what you can put together for me," She exclaimed just as the bell rang. I groaned and walked out the door just as Dimitri came up to me.
"Hey…partner." He smirked.
Okay guys! The poems above are not mine except Roses (please tell me what you think of it) but the others I got off of websites…not Adrian's but you know where that came from ;) Im going to ask for 4 reviews this time since it's my 4th chapter!
