-Listening to The Sounds-
It’s just another boring day of skoo where I find myself visiting the same faces for the 3rd week already.
Carly was so sick she went home 2nd period. I was pretty much by myself in GYM, so I chat a little with Shane. He said he’d text me if he was going to the mall after skoo or not; he never did btw. That didn’t matter though.
So then it was 3rd.
Of course Dylan seated right on my right and my desk is the last one in the front row, then a big table behind me and Dylan and some girl, so beyond that is the second row of desks (like 4 horizontally). So I’m next to the green chalk board, facing the opposite row straight out the windows to the senior court.
I thought it was done with, he’s not into me anymore because I texted him asking what he’d be doing today, but he didn’t reply to that. Then during this 3rd period, English, he asked me the same question. I said I’d be at the mall since ma works at the nail shop. He said he’s too broke for gas; so I got the hint that I shouldn’t talk about it or hoping to hang out at all, and backed out. That was it and little comments.
Then when the senior paper project topic came up.
I became flustered because I didn’t know what to do, I mean community service wise. Where the hell Ima find one? You know, what are available and that sort of stuff. Then Mrs. Selestow walked over and supposingly to help me, but she drifted off into talking with Dylan. I was like ahahaaaa…
He didn’t know what he wanted to do. He said about working with animals rofl! But Selestow was like o_o L-O-L what?! And said he’s not the type to clean up animals poo rofl! If you’re not able to enjoy your choice, then you wouldn’t be able to feel for it enough to do well for the project. Then she asked what he’s interested in; cars. But I doubt there’s any community service on that haha.
Then me, she asked what I was interested in. I said art or tutoring. So she combined them and said how about teach art lessons to the little kids at the elementary skoo? I was like..hey…..good idea! PERFECTO!! I was so glad..phew….something that I like, you know, teaching and art heehee~
I have to talk to Mrs. P about it too to give lessons.
Some kid from across the room asked Dylan to work with him as partners. He said no, since he’d experienced being left to do the project by himself in a group of 5 before. I don’t know what I was thinking, I seemingly wanted to work alone, sort of. I just blurted out and said, “I see…don’t blame you, but you can trust me haha, but not like you wanna be with me giving little kids art lessons, huh…”
He was like, “You want me to work with you? I’m not good at art to teach them though.”
“Haha, sure…I guess, if you want. It doesn’t matter to me. You’re good at art, so it’d be fine. I mean you can draw better than an elementary kid, right?”
“That’s true. If I don’t know something, I’ll just turn to you.”
“Hahaha! Alright.”
“I have to talk to my mom though, she was pretty upset about my other group project, so gotta tell her if I can or not.”
“It’s fine, yehn, I wouldn’t do that to you though.”
It’d be either I work with them or they fight for the work by themselves. My pride is too high to neglect what I must do. So no worry in that. I won’t ditch people like they ditch me. I always have the right partners though they’d always fight to hog all the work, not like I mind or care; do what they want, so it’s all good.
Said he’d text me after talking to his mom.
Class was over, then I went up stairs B to get to Art room, and Dylan happened to be at his locker right when I opened the two big doors. I stopped by and chat I guess. Then we walked down the hall to stairs A. His arm brushed against mine sometimes. I kept myself walking straight in a line, so if we were to touch, it’d be him haaa…
So we said bye, he walked down stairs A. I walked two steps to the art room doors, and found Kelly drawing in Misha’s spot. Misha came a min after. Kelly complained about how this Julie girl fixed the picture for her without her permission. It happened someone else too and they were upset, so was she. I mean, do not touch other artists’ artwork EVER, especially when you’re NOT better than them. I sat there and did nothing the whole time. Jen came in and took the shoes picture for me, then that was it. Chris wasn’t there, sigh, that jerk.
AB period (probably 5th period) began, Misha and Kelly and the others left for lunch. I started doing some chalk coal that I thought was pastel……..
It would have been better if it was pastel lol…if I even know what it looks like .__.;;…
People compliment my quick sketch, I was like thank you *smiles smiles* I’m glad…
Dylan put aside his artwork and sat beside me, slightly behind, amazed by my “skills.” Please, I got none, but I appreciate it haha.
Then we talked. Of course, everybody thought it’s a girl..but truly, it’s a boi. Get it right! But I don’t expect anyone to rofl. They don’t know my style well enough or anime to begin with.
It doesn’t matter, it’s art.
Jen..I don’t know. I’m beginning to doubt that she’s my type of friends to hang out. I realized that from the very beginning, but I can’t just ditch her. So we hung out a few times before. There’s just no..compatibility between us to be good friends. It’s something that I can tell from just the way they act and talk. She seems to be..nosy, snobbish. But yehn, that’s why I’d been trying to avoid sitting at lunch with her or with KP. Though, then I’d have nowhere to turn to.
I’ll work something out, most possibly.
Art was over, I walked with Dylan…well, he was ahead of me, like 3 feet away. I don’t know, I just called out for him, “Dyl…” and he turned around. I was half expected that he wouldn’t hear me, but yay, he did and slowed down for me. We walked close that our arms would touch, I began to wonder if it’s normal for just friends.
I said bye to him and he walked to Physics, I stopped at my locker.
Sat at lunch with Jen, because Chris wasn’t around today, sigh. Then I had Chinese, we learned a Chinese song. I’m not gonna lie either, the students in here have really bad pronunciation. I’m not any better but at least I get it more right than they do. I mean, I sing in Chinese all the time. I just can’t get the tones right when it’s in a sentence. My language has the same tone but more obvious and stronger, so it’s hard for me to balance them out.
Then Physics, boring. Homework due tomorrow and a quiz.
I really don’t want this one kid, Gavin, to touch me too much. He seems dirty and smells a bit fishy, literally. He tries to be a player, but with his appearance, no. Never in his life will be…
I like Dylan’s face better. He’s probably the cutest guy I’d seen in this skoo so far, and the only one. I’m happy enough to get his attention, haa. When I saw him at first, I didn’t think he was cute until he sat beside me in English and talked to me. He’s really cute when he smiles, like grin to laugh..?
He’s a bit chubby, though, not gonna lie. Hope he’s hitting the GYM anytime soon…I’ll come with him just for the sake of him exercising, seriously. I’d like him even more if he was skinny, be my perfect dud kuhuhu *shot*.
But yehn, I had Calculus, then skoo was over. I walked out this one door. Dylan was surrounded by people. I was calling mama, but I turned around and smiled with a wave anyways. I think I look cutest when I do that, but other times, I’d be plain ugly *stabbed*. I stood outside calling bro Robert, walked to the front office and Steph spotted me, and decided to give me a ride to the mall because she had to go to work at Limited Too at 3PM. I was like, YES! SCORE!! I LOVE YOU!! Else I’d have to wait for another half an hour for bro to come. I called him to tell him that.
I read manga at Borders when I got there LOL like I always do. I was disappointed that they don’t have Muhyo volume 7 yet. UPSET!!
I finished reading Law of Ueki, then..SWITCH (ugh..sexy sexy artwork by Naked Apes; WHY?! WHY DID THEIR ART STYLE CHANGE?!?!! So sad…), half of SWITCH 4, I stopped (5:15-ish) because Steph stopped working at 6PM. The one lady works there gave me an application for it, so I was like 8DD OKEI, I NEED A JOB YES! THANKS!!
Then we left for a football at Franklin, a triple A highskoo. Was hoping to meet some cuties, but then I realized it was an all-white skoo. Then it hit me that all these pretty girls, why would they want an ugly Asian, you know. So I was kind of out of it the whole time. The stadium was amazing. So huge, so massive, DDDAAAAMMMNNNN!!!!! The band, twirl, cheerleaders, dance…everything..GINORMOUS.
It was a bit exciting. And there’s a game at my skoo as well too. How awesome lawls. But our stadium isn’t as rad, but a bit newer than last year (like I’d know, just heard it from people). So I don’t know who Ima go with, eeh..whatever.
Steph and I stopped at Dairy Queen at like 9:30PM to get food. We were hungry as hell LOL. I didn’t eat anything at all the whole day, but a mango smoothie from Panera Bread. Then our plan to get Banana Cream Pie failed because they were closing at 10PM. We left without ice cream T____T…
So now I’m home writing this instead of doing my Calc homeworl ha ha ha. I never do homework when it’s supposed to be at home, I do homework in skoo. My senior paper proposal is due tomorrow though. I’ll manage like I always do…….sort of………………..
I think Steph is taking me to skoo tomorrow haha, how rad. Gotta wake up early, so good night for now.
