------------- In 1st Period -------------

I walk to my first period, which seems to be World history.

I walk in and look for an empty seat, Esme didn't follow me so I assume we don't have the same first period. Ugh, I should've asked what her schedule was.

Here's mine

--------------------------------------

Period 1: World History

Period 2: Chemistry

Period 3: Algebra 1

Period 4: Musical Theatre

Period 5: Lunch

Period 6: Band

Period 7: Language Arts

--------------------------------------

"Long time no see"

I look up only to see Rider hovering over me

"Why are you here?"

"Why not?"

Ugh, he's so annoying

"Mind if I sit here?"

He then puts his backpack down and sits! What is the point of asking if you're just gonna do it anyways?!?!

" Actually I do mind"

"Well too bad Strawberry"

"My name is Tommy'

"What ever you say, short cake"

I then snatch his schedule out of his hands

No

No

No

No

No

NNNNNOOOOOOOO

why do we have every class together!?!?!?!?!

God, I already hate this school year

--------------Chemistry--------------

"Hey stranger"

"Huh? ESME!!!"

I hug her hoping Rider wouldn't bother us, but of course I was wrong

"Hey shortcake"

I ignore him

"Haha, silent treatment?"

"Ignore him Rider. He'll eventually talk to you. In about.........2 million years"

" So I'll talk to him in heaven?"

" What makes you think you'll go to heaven"

I reply

"Guess I didn't have to wait 2 million years"

"Alright class, there are no assign seats so sit where you like."

"Hey strawberry min-"

"Yes, i do mind"

I then grabbed Esme and took her to some open seats

"Uummmm, Tommy, I have something I need to tell you. Can you meet me on the roof top during lunch?"

"Of course"

I wonder what she's gonna say. I had looked at her schedule before class started so I know we only have chemistry and Band together. Which is a real bummer

----------------Lunch----------------

I walk up to the roof top to see what Esme wants to tell me.

I see her standing there enjoying the breeze.

"Hey Esme"

She hears me and her face goes red, does she have a fever?

"T-tommy! I- I wanted to t-tell you that,that umm, THAT I LIKE YOU. PLEASE GO OUT WITH ME"

Im in total shock, I did not think this would happen. I've gotta tell her the truth

"Esme, I ummm, I'm not straight"

Esme looks up with tears in her eyes

"A-are you bi? Cause I'd be completely fine with that!"

"N-no, I'm gay"

"Oh, ok. I wish you would've told me sooner"

She smiles with tears streaming down her face.

"Thank you for being honest"

She then runs off

Why'd she have to do that?

*Shuffle noises*

"Is someone there?"

"Uuuuuuuuhhhhhh, no?"

Oh no, I know that voice. It's Riders

"Did you hear our conversation?!?!

"Maybe"

" Well if it bothers you then leave"

" What if I said it doesn't bother me"

"What?"

"Tommy, I know we only met this morning to you, but I've known you since middle school"

"How?"

" I was in all your classes back then too, you just never noticed me"

"That's cause if I tried to befriend someone they would just bully me"

"I wouldn't have, because I've liked you since the seventh grade"

"Eh?"

This doesn't seem like a promising school year
