johnny

a week had passed since the first day of school, and kenzie was still upset

she had avoided being near hayden at all costs, because everywhere he was, annie was there

she always gave me and lauren the fakest smiles, so we returned them

as kenzie's mood fell, so did lauren's

it's like they were connected

lauren stopped doing her homework, stopped going to work, and stopped smiling

i was the only one who noticed this change, besides maddie

i couldn't do anything, because i was too awkward and too busy

i had joined debate club, and it was taking up a lot of my time, preparing for the first debate

it was against some prep school that i was invited to go to because of my parents, but i declined

they had amazing programs that could teach me so much, but they didn't have my friends

the debate was after school, and lauren, kenzie, and annie planned to be there to support me and hayden

did i forget to mention he was there too?

he acted like he knew what he was doing, but he didn't

when the debate started that afternoon, i was reading over my notes when the ref banged his gavel

i looked up, and standing there, was the most beautiful girl i had ever seen

besides kenzie of course

she had short, curly red hair

and freckles spread across her cheeks like the stars

oh how her green eyes shone as she stood up there, pleading her argument

i was then shoved in the side, and my face instantly burned

i quickly got up, trying to avoid all eye contact with her

she smiled confidently at me, and then winked

causing me to forget everything i had practiced

she smirked, then sat down at her schools table

oh boy did i have it in for me

we ended up losing not only because of me

but also because annie was making googly eyes at hayden, and distracted him

smh, girls

the girl with the red hair approached me afterwards clapping

"well done handsome. this is the worst i've ever seen you john"
