The bell rings. All of the kids around me shove themselves out of the small exit in their desks, throwing their supplies into the notch in their arms. I take my time leaving the room, if I'm going to be late for my next class, might as well enjoy the extra seconds.
I enter the stream of rushing kids, pulling off to the side by the lockers. There stands Clove, cramming a textbook into the petite locker of hers. She notices I'm behind her, and spins around while slamming the door closed. Her fingers sort through her binder and pulls out a leaf of paper, the answers for my 4th period litterature class test. Just like always. Showing my thanks, I turn around and make a click, click noise with the corner of my mouth.
"That's not what cool people do!" she yells back at me.
I smile and shake my head at the ground. What does she know?
As the stampede of children thins, I make the journey from the west side of the school to the second floor of the north side. I'm still on the first floor when the bell rings. I see the final kids litterally dive into their next class, sliding on the floor with a skid. And now I'm all alone in the long hallway. My pace should be continuing, but something out of the corner of my eye stops me. At the end of the corridor I just came from, a figure strides into vision. It is awfully tall for one being. The thing races into focus, and I understand.
It's Caf, with those undenying stormy blue irises and bouncing curls. And she's riding an emu. Coming closer to me every second.
A laughing Caf flings a wad of paper at me as the screeching emu passes. She gives me one last phycopathic grin, and vanishes into air along with her emu.
Wait, what just happened? No, that can't be real. But it is, as I pick up the paper on the ground that hit me in the temple.
How to get them Shmexy Girls
1.) Make clicking noises at them through the corner of your mouth.
2.) Tell them they're shmexy, of course!
3.) Tell them you used to date their best friend and you might be over the best friend, then lean in to kiss them.
4.) Whenever you get back from your dream vacation, give them a snow globe, even if it doesn't snow in Mexico.
5.) Check out science-fiction books from the library. Show them off because your a cool person like that.
6.) Make it a habit of saying "Flagnoodles!" whenever something goes wrong.
7.) Propose to them with a cheap plastic ring you found in a store-bought cupcake.
8.) Don't leave them alone. Ever. You are like an annoying growth that doesn't want to come off.
9.) Kiss them in front of everyone. Their parents, enemies, dogs, ect.
10.) When you hug them, instead of wrapping your arms around their waist, hug their neck. It's comftorable.
11.) Ask them if they want to listen to some rockin' tunes. When they agree, turn on some slowly rolling country and jam out.
12.) Make them a love poem. Misspell their name.
13.) Tell them their not pretty enough to be your girl, then hook-up with a girl with braces.

"Cato," Clove beggins, looking at me deep into my soul, "are these rumors about your dates true?"
"Umm, maybe?" I respond.
"Oh! Yes, I knew it, you geek!" she screams.
"Flagnoodles!"
