"I don't know much about love, but when it comes to you Nya Smith, you're my It Girl. Something about you tells me you're the one. You wanna stay friends though. I'll respect that. But that kiss though. You can't go back to being just friends after...
I don't normally tend to say it out loud, but I'm actually a pretty big fan of Engineering and Mechanics class. Learning how to build useful inventions with scrap materials just interests me for some reason. Not to mention that the class is awesome, with the nicest people I've ever met.
You walk through those doors, and BAM, you're in heaven. I'm not a suck-up or anything; I genuinely enjoy this class much more than my other subjects.
For the whole hour or so I'm floating in the air, soaring above my worries, but once that darn bell rings and screeches it's back to reality.
I guess it's not too bad. I have a stable group of friends who love me, but they were all in the year above. Skipping a whole grade doesn't really have its perks, in all honesty. Especially when you're in Senior year and your only friends are all in their first year of uni.
Thankfully they all signed up for the first-year-senior-mentor-mentee program so they'd all be here for a few weeks at the very least before heading back to Terra Technica which was a pretty lengthy distance from Ninjago City, involving long drives and a short flight, so no, it wasn't easy to just pop over whenever you wanted.
That's also where I'll be planning on going once I graduate this shithole.
Just as class ends and it's time to go home, my phone chimes with a notification from Kai.
party at 8. coming or nah?
I chew my lip, weighing my choices. Another message shoots through
fyi, if ur not coming now, ur walking home. im heading to sel's.
My fingers lazily tap the keyboard as I send a reply. Just as I hit send, I get another text from Lloyd.
Hey, there's a party at 8. We'll go together. It's not like u have anything planned for 2night, do u?
I roll my eyes. As much as I hate to admit it, Lloyd was right. I was simply planning on hogging the living room with Netflix and junk food. Since track practice was also cancelled, I had more time to kill too.
Babe, u there?
A sigh escapes my lips as I text him back
Sure. Pick me up?
U know it ;)
I switch back to Kai's contact and retype a new message
Yeah. I'm riding with Lloyd tonight.
aight
I heave my bag over my shoulder, making my way to my locker. I didn't mind an occasional party every now and then. At first, I vowed to steer clear from them until Seliel quite literally picked me off the floor, threw me into the backseat of her car and drove me to a house party. Despite being in my pyjamas, I still had a good time.
It's good to let loose once in a while. Studies show it's actually healthy and beneficial. At least...I say it is.
