Introducing Life Part 9

The day was finally over and what a relief that was to me. Everything about today was just weird. With Paige and her dumb confession and her tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth conversation with both Joselyn and I, it was all just a little too much. I had one class left and it was math. Ugh, I thought to myself. Not only does our teacher wear the same thing everyday, black dress pants and blue button up long sleeve shirt, and a stained tie, but he teaches with his back faced to us the whole time. The worst part though, I didn't study for the test today. I honestly almost thought to myself, Could this day get any worse? But I stopped myself mid thought because if I finished it, something worse would happen. I'm really superstitious of that kind of stuff. Knowing my luck though, anything is possible.

"Hey! Ready for the test?" Joselyn came up to me.

"Nope." I replied

"Yea, me either. Hah, not like that's anything new." she laughed at herself, "I wonder what Mr. Backs-to-us is wearing today." She made fun of our teacher.

"Let's just get this over with." I smiled at her. She knew I wasn't really in the mood to laugh, but I couldn't blame her for trying to get me out of this mood.

Why was I so mad? He wasn't a good boyfriend and I hadn't known him for very long. He pulled a really shitty move last night and he screwed around the whole time we were together. Why am I so angry? All these thoughts were coming to me at once. I was trying so hard to not let it bother me but these thoughts just kept rolling in.

Joselyn and I walked into class together and de ja vu. Everyone looked at us again. I really hate it when people stare at me. I hate how I have to wonder what's on their minds and what they are thinking. I mean, usually I don't care what they are thinking but today was different. And besides, everyone wonders about what people think sometimes. I know I probably sound hypocritical right now, but I guess its okay to be a little off today. I guess in a way I already knew though, they were thinking about last night and how a dramatic event had taken place. They probably were wondering what exactly happened and how they could ask me. There was nothing to tell. Nothing happened. Its none of their business.

The test began and all of a sudden my phone is vibrating. I opened it up and it was Trent. Wow, isn't he my lifesaver? Answers to the test. I don't know how the kid does it but he seems to know math very well, or just very sneaky. I looked back a few rows to him and smiled and gave him a "thank you" nod. I forwarded the text to Joselyn and she looked back at Trent too. She gave him the same look as I did with the same nod. I don't know though, he is so good to us. Him and I had a little thing once upon a time. It wasn't any kind of a big deal. We were young and it was more like the parents having us together all the time, but when him and I looked at each other, I felt safe. Not just because what happened with Jon, but because I know he will always be there for me. He doesn't judge me and he always seems to know the right thing to say.

I looked back at Trent again, he was just sitting at his desk in a black shirt and dark blue jeans. His jeans were kind of ripped at the bottom because he skates a lot. He also tends to fall a lot. He was leaning back in the chair that connects to the desk with his head held back looking up at the ceiling with a sarcastically bored look on his face. If that makes any sense at all. It almost looked as if he was thinking up something rule breaking to do. Yep, he was just sitting there twittering his thumbs. I lost myself looking at him, because when I blinked, I noticed he was looking back at me.

And not in the way that he normally does. Not the way he looks at Joselyn or any of our other friends. It was like I was the only person in that whole room.
