Chapter 3 Things were Fine Before
First day of school today. This sucks. If I'm in Michael's class again I have no idea how on earth I'm going to act around him. But if I'm not, then there's less chance of him talking to me. But I'm not sure if I really want him to talk to me because I don't know if I would have the courage to talk back.
Argh this is bad. I no longer know myself.
Things were fine before I knew Michael. Everything was fine. I had friends, I was having fun, everything's okay. But after I met him, I was constantly worried. Worry about running into him, what would I say? What would I do?
But then I would remember all the fun times we had together before I knew I liked him. How my bad days would turn into good days just because he smiled at me, how my heart would flutter at the sight of him.
Now it's the first day of school at AEHS. I hate this now more than ever. Middle school was a blast, sure, but I miss the middle school days. For one particular reason is that when you date in middle school, it's steady. But in high school, you could go from fling to fling. Or even worse, two-timing someone. What about dances? From what Tina told me, you either go to the dance with a date or not go at all. But who's going to be THAT stupid and ask ME –the LEAST popular girl in the world of history -- out?
After School
Okay I survived my first day of school. What's more surprising is that I actually went to Geometry – 10th grade math - in 9th grade. Surprising huh?
I was so happy that I got into Geometry instead of more Algebra that I forgot that Lana was going to come to high school here. She was going to go to another high school before with Josh. She announced that out loud at lunch everyday in 8th grade on the last few days of school.
But Mr. Weinberger found out that she and Josh had been … um …you know …um Doing IT. THAT information was announced too right in front of everyone at the Graduation Dance. So Mr. Weinberger transferred Lana to AEHS, for Lana's own safety. Though I doubt that. Since when did Mr. Weinberger really care about Lana's safety? He let some high school guy invite her to a party when we were in 6th grade and let Lana and that other guy drink and drive.
How irresponsible can a parent be? So why does he care now if Lana's going to get pregnant at the age of 14? Or if Lana's going to catch STDs, HIV or aids? Since when did he ever become a responsible parent?
Okay back to subject. So Lana totally tormented me during Biology which was 2nd period. I walked in to the class greeted the teacher and picked a seat and sat down. Then I began to write in my notebook notes for my novel someday. Then, all of a sudden, out of nowhere, Lana appeared. Coincidently, my pen dropped so I bent down and picked it up. Lana saw me and said, "Ah, we still can't fit into a bra can we? Poor Mia ... might I suggest bandage?"
Before I could answer, she turned and walked back to her little groupies outside. Thankfully, there was no one else – except the teacher - in the room because it was a little early for anyone to be in a classroom.
3rd period was French class. Tina was in French with me because, as she claimed, someday, she might run into Prince William and they could talk fluently in French instead of English. I kindly reminded her that Prince Will doesn't speak French to which she replied," It's the thought that counts Mia."
Pfft like she really would know Prince Will some day. But I didn't say that. You have to give her a little dignity you know.
4th period was P.E which thankfully was not with Lana. I had enough of her torment about my bra size and my chest. It was the basics today. You know, getting to know each other, playing the name game. That kind of stuff. We didn't have to change today because we didn't get our uniforms yet.
Then it was lunch. It was okay since Lana and her groupies were outside eating lunch. Rumor has it that Lana saw a cute senior boy and was trying to get him to ask her out. But Tina told me that she was still going out with Josh, privately of course. Who cares?
5th period was G&T. Mrs. Hill was not in the room the entire time. So people just fooled around. Michael was in that class as well. He was, as usual working on his website, Crackhead, which was getting over 20,000 hits per month. I was working on my notes for my novel.
6th period was English. My teacher asked us to write a short introduction of ourselves and present it tomorrow in class. There's a new kid in the school. Felix Shortridge. Tina saw him and immediately fell for him. Since he was in my English class, Tina had without a doubt asked me to tell her about him tomorrow after school. Me and my big mouth. I should not have told her that we had to do that stupid intro.
7th period was history for this semester. Next semester's going to be Health & Safety. Great like I really want to learn about a bunch of dead guys.
Now I'm off to do homework. Geometry is killing my brain. English was a piece of cake as usual. But you know, even though I don't like this homework thing, the thought of Michael cheered me up.
