February 3, 2017

It's my spare period.  A girl I've never talked to but who is also from Grade 9 sits beside me in the library.  I have been tactfully and stupidly ignoring her for the past twenty minutes or so. Pouring out all my worries to the group chat on Facebook, I stay hidden from the outside world. 

It is the first day of semester two and my first period is spare.  What luck.  Science is next and, while I fully anticipate that class with rapt enthusiasm,  I cannot help but wonder: What if I pick the wrong seat? Wrong as in, a seat from the boys' side.  Or a seat someone else wants.  What if I do something embarrassing already?

The girl beside me.  Maybe I should talk to her.  Ask her what class she has next.  Anything.  I am such an idiot.

I'm probably annoying my cousin as I spam the group chat with my incessant worries.  Woe is me.  And my cousin.

I swear the girl beside me is writing too.  I like her.  Still not talking though. 

Something like seven minutes left till I go to Science class.  I wonder what the teacher's like.  Hopefully, she doesn't make my favorite subject boring.
