WARREN
I watched the dark brown hair pass by and head down the hallway.
I check the time and decide it wouldn't really hurt to see where he's headed, right?
I follow him a bit to find him go into the ap calc class. Of course, he's so smart. He always has his nose in a book. I wish I had the brains for that. It would make things so much easier. Like I could use my big mind to help cure hunger or make dogs talk! Wow, i would love to talk to my dog.
Imagine if I could, then I'd...
I was so lost in thought, standing there a few feet from the ap calc class, that I forgot about my own math class that I was late to.
I ran down the hall and made it in just as the bell rang.
"So....sorry...im late," I say between breaths, taking the empty seat in the second row.
The teacher had only given me a look. "Alright.....now that we're are all here, let's start," he droned on and on about icebreaker and the syllabus and a bunch of ither stuff.
I sighed, not patient enough for this. P.E. will be fun, though. we'll be outside and running. What could be better?
....
The gym teacher led us outside to start with our warm-ups. I was so happy to finally be outside. To be able to move around. To be able to see Este-
Wait, what?
I look to my left and see estevan and that girl running laps.
No way. I knew he had to be in at least some of my classes, but P.E. is probably the best one. And lunch. Speaking of which, I wonder what they have.....
"Warren! Start your warm-up laps, " the teacher warned me.
I stretched a bit and started jogging. And soon enough, I was close to Estevan and that girl he's always with.
Should I say something or just run past. Hmm, I would look totally cool running past him with my hair in the wind and everything.
Ok, yeah. Im gonna do that.
I take one step and trip. Right on him.
Well, shit.
ESTEVAN
"And that's why Dead Poet Society is a must watch. It has everything a great movie needs, " I say as I jog next to Astoria. Well, it's more like a sloppy speedwalk because this is too much physical exercise. "Plus, it had gay- AH!"
Ow, ok. Now im on the floor. And who the hell fell on me?
I try getting up but can't as this guy's is still lying there.
What the fuck.
After a moment, I guess some sense breaks into him and he quickly gets up and offers his hand to help me up.
"Ohh, ohmygoshimspsorryishouldvelookedwhereiwasgoing" he rambled.
I just sighed and got up, ignoring his extended hand. "Just dont do it again," I said, annoyed. I already hate this damn class. Who even is this kid?
He just nodded and said "I'm Warren. Are you alright? I hope i didn't hurt you..."
"Oh, uhm yeah im fine," I say as I dusted myself off. Ive been hurt so much worse than that. This is nothing.
"Im Estevàn" I say then turn away from this idiot, Warren i guess, who bumped into and to Astoria who was just watching the whole thing unfold. "What, you're not even going to ask me if im okay," I say, and she only rolled her eyes.
"If you weren't okay, you would've told me by now ya big baby," she
Said as she put her arm on my shoulder. We continued walking along the track for a while. Until the class was over, really.
So much for just a warm-up. That took the entire class. Oh, well.
Me and Astoria then made our way to history. The class went by pretty smoothly, and the teacher was fairly chill.
Though he did seem to have a loose screw or two....
WARREN
"Oh, uhm yeah, im fine," he said as he dusted himself off.
I was disappointed he didn't even take my hand. Was he pissed at me? So much for first impressions....
"Im Estevan," he says, and I nod and smile as he turns to that girl and speaks, completely forgetting me. Then I saw her put her arm around him.
Shit.
Are they dating? Maybe....I dont know. I dont want to think about it!
As i stand there, i hear footsteps come up behind me.
"Yo, Warren, are you good? That was a pretty nasty fall," Silas said worried.
"Yeah, yeah im fine" I said still watching them walk away. I sigh and turn to Silas. "Come on let's go to class."
I can feel Silas looking at me as I walk him to class.
"Warren, whyd you look so sad before" he finally asked. And when I didn't respond he added "was it that girl...?"
I looked at him so fast. "What?" I said confused.
"That girl. Are you interested in her? I thought you might've been since you looked bummed out with her and Estevan walking like that. "
I stare blankly first a moment. Damn is he close, but just not quite there. Because I don't like a girl, even though maybe that's what im supposed to do. I have eyes for Estevan, a boy. So of course, Silas wouldn't guess that.
"Warren?"
"Oh, what dude no, ew. I am nottt interested in her. It's just....nothing" I say, sighing. I doubt he would understand. "Now hurry up, we're gonna be late for class."
