Monday, September 20th
I sat down at an empty lunch table with paper and a pen, waiting for ashton to come. I wrote down "how to become friends with M.C." In bubble letters at the top of the page and put dots on the sides.
"Hey loser" i heard from behind me. I looked up and smiled at the curly haired boy. He sat down next to me, putting his tray in front of him. "How to become friends with M.C. ... lame" he smirked putting his sandwich in his mouth.
"Its not lame, its.. ok yeah its pretty lame but i dont know how to do this! If you havent noticed, you've been my only friend since kindergarten" i laughed. I sat in silence for a few minutes before an idea popped into my head. "I'll take the bus!" I shouted.
"Are you kidding me?! Your going to take the bus instead of drive your sweet ass car for the next 4 days of the week?!" He yelled, not in a stern way but in disbelief. I nodded quickly with a huge grin on my face.
"Of course! Its brilliant, i'll sit with michael on the bus and that will easily make us friends! God im smart, i should be in college by now" i laughed while staring at a wall. I wrote down my thought on the sheet of paper as Ash scoffed, he probably thought i was crazy but to be honest.. i didn't care. Im gonna win this damn bet.
The bell rang after 20 minutes telling everyone its was time for classes again. Ashton waved goodbye and stood up taking his tray with him. I picked up the paper and shoved it in my bag. I got up and walked to the door entering the crowded hallway until i bumped into someone's chest. Looking up I saw the perfect opportunity that has ever walked into my life.
"Where are you going?" I asked sounding like a dumb 4 year old.
"I'm skipping, lost interest in the whole school thing. Aren't you the girl who stole my pencil?" Michael asked, clearly he didn't remember my name... or the fact that I gave his pencil back. "Why do you need to know anyways?"
"I was gonna skip too, you wanna go together?" Yeah I was gonna be in major shit when I get home but I had a plan. If he said yes, i'll say he can wait for me outside while I go to the washroom (well he'll think I did) meanwhile I'm actually going to the principals office and rat him out, after the teachers find him waiting outside I'll do something to get myself into detention and after school In detention I'll play it off like I was caught leaving too. Woah I'm psycho.
"Whatever" he rolled his eyes. Perfect.
The plan went down exactly how I planned and while I sat in detention right next to Michael who looked beyond borderline pissed, I brainstormed ideas of how I could make getting into detention worth its while. I wrote down on a peace of paper saying "do you even know my name?" And slipped it over to me Michaels desk. After waiting for the response he slide the same page over with messy handwriting added. "No, I honestly think your a tiny bit creepy. You've been following me around any chance you got today. Can I ask why?" I froze trying to think of a somewhat good reason for stalking this guy. "Mr. Finch asked us both to do some extra credit together and I tried to tell you but things kept getting in the way" I figured that was the best it would get from of the top of my head and slid it back over to mike. He tapped me on the shoulder and gave me a nod, I think he was saying ok but this kid was weird so..
