[18] For What It's Worth

Feeling: lazy
The bell rang... I gathered my books together and made my way out of the classroom into the crowded hallways. After fighting my way down two flights of stairs and through most of the freshman hallway I finally reached my locker. I spun the dial half a turn and my locker swung open. I put my 3rd period books away in their proper place and hastily grabbed my English binder which held my book. I closed my locker, spun the dial three numbers to the right and turned around. It was there I made the worst mistake of the day. I decided to take the back staircase to 4th period rather than the usual front stairs. I walked towords the flight and to my shock I almost ran into someone. Now, this isn't very unusual at such a small school, but this wasn't just any someone... it was him. The boy I've secretly wanted for so long. I stepped back as not to hit him and my heart sank. He was in a deep embrace with his ex girlfriend... According to the most recent gossip, they had broken up, but apparently they're back together. That sight sank my heart and the rest of my day went downhill. On arriving to room 205, our dear teacher told us that we would be needing our LITERATURE books. About half of the class left to return to their lockers to collect the books necessary. I walked down the front stairs with my good friend Jocelyn. I got my book from my locker and watched her change exchange books and change from slip on shoes to her red chuck taylors. As I stood watching her and encouraging her to speed things along, I realized just where I was standing. It was the exact spot that his ex-girlfriend was standing. In that moment, I wanted to be her more than ever.
