Thea

As I walked into the art room just on time by one second then the bell rang.

"You're late," The art teacher said in a singsong voice, a plump African-American woman in an ugly beige dress.

"No I'm not," I replied with as much annoyance, "I came in one second before the bell rang so I'm not late." As I'm saying this my crush is staring right at me almost as if I'm not even there. A dead stare but with a little humor in his eyes, 'ya know that one kid in the class that thinks no one likes him but in reality like one girl actually does like him, yeah, that kid.

Ms. Hanock, a.k.a., the art teacher, gave me a steely glare as I sat down with my friend, Alayla.

"You really didn't need to argue with Ms. Hanock, " she said.

"Well, she was wrong about the time so I had to say something. Just wasn't about to let her put me as tardy. No way. No how."

As we pulled out our some clay figures trying to replicate a brownish-black figure of a ***** Apollo adding a loincloth. As I'm configuring my statue I look to my friend for inspiration. She's an orange-reddish head, with some banged up glasses that have butterflies on them, her eyes a blue with a greyish tint.

"I'm just wondering why you did chose this enrichment, like I was forced to be here so I don't know why anyone would want to have art as their enrichment," Alayla said

"I'm only here because I like art and my crush has this enrichment so, yeah," I said

She looked at me as if I told her I killed someone, her mouth hanging open like a bullfrog's, saliva almost dripping from her mouth.

"What!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" she shrieked everyone looked in our direction like "who did that" except for Daxton, a.k.a. my crush, who was already looking at us or rather me. I had already caught him looking at me two times that class period and it was unusual because he never looks at me.

"OW!!" I cried dramatically as I could as I cut myself with an orange grip and black moving item that has a metal blade that sticks out. I have a tolerance to pain.

"Oh, child. Why in the name of God did I let you use that thing?" Ms. Hanock said knowing my "condition".

RRRRRRIIIIIIINNNNNNGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The bell rings. Saved by the bell yet again.

As we are walking from the art room I split from Alayla and walked over to Daxton who has short long brown hair that's almost black (like mine) with blue eyes and a Dead Men Tell No Tales sweatshirt, who is waiting by the door for someone. When he sees me his eyes go from a dead stare to a jumble of emotions that I can't straighten out so I can read them almost as if he knows what's coming....

"Hi," I say a little bit high pitch and too enthusiastically, "Sorry, that sounded so unlike me. But I didn't come here to talk about how voices sound. so, why were you staring at me in class?"

He looked down to hide his flushed red face, burying his face in his hair. Daxton cleared his throat. "Um, I just happen to find you, um no, something in your direction?" He started to question himself. He definitely has something going for me. I blushed in tum.

I think I'm falling for Daxton even harder now, like really hard. Ahh! What's wrong with me!!! Why do I feel so much more attracted to him than I usually do? Ugh!! Boys are so confusing and feelings.

Now we were both blushing and I had to do something to break the heatwave that had just blown in like a blizzard.

"Were you about to say something else?"

"Uuuhhh, um, uh, um, maybe?" The way he said it was so adorable I didn't know what to do so I stared at him in shock and while I was staring I was blushing as heck.

Then he asked me a question that I wouldn't have answered to anyone except Alayla and him maybe? I don't know.

"Do you like me?" Daxton asked getting brave.

"Maybe," I said in a low high pitched voice turning my head away blushing really, really, really hard. And I didn't need a mirror to tell me so because my cheeks felt like they were burning off.

"I'll take that as a yes then" He said walking out of the classroom leveling me there to be scolded by Ms. Hanock and taken to the nurse since I had not done so.

You little b***h, I thought very pissed off. When I see you next Daxton, you going down if I'm not staring at you're handsome eyes.
