Diary of an 8th Grader

Thanks For Asking ._.

         OH MY GOSH I feel so much better than I did yesterday! I hate the stomach flu -.- all that vomiting and nausea. Well anyways I came back to school today and it was a good day I guess. I think it's for certain now that Alexia doesn't want to hang out with me anymore. In gym, the gym teacher called us to gather around her so she could explain the plan for class today. Alexia was sitting down already and I started to walk up to her to sit down next to her. Just when I was about to reach her to sit down, Paula rushed in front of me and sat next to Alexia. There were other girls sitting on the other side of Alexia so there was no place for me to sit. I kinda isolated myself from everyone and sat alone. Soon Ethan scooted over to me. "What's wrong? Why are you sitting all alone?" he asked. I looked at him, "No reason." He looked at me plainly. "What's wrong?" he asked again. This time I smiled, "It's nothing." He asked me again and I said the same thing I told him before. He gave up, for the time, and scooted back to his friends.
        Then, the gym teacher told us to get in pairs for warm ups (or groups of three if you really wanted to). I walked behind Alexia and Paula as they went to the place that we usually go for warm ups. "Alexia! Be partners with me!" Carin shouted from behind us. "No I'm with Paula, go partner up with Ariana so she has a partner." Alexia replied to Carin. I raised an eyebrow as I thought, So that's how it is, I thought we were all going to be together but I guess not. Everyone started the warm ups and I leaned against the bleachers alone looking down at my sneakers. Suddenly I heard, "Something's wrong." I looked up to my right. Ethan stood there looking straight into my eyes. I looked away. "I told you it's nothing," I said. "Yeah right. Are you and Enrique still dating?" he asked. "Yeah," I told him. "Oh . . . um then what is it?" Ethan asked. I looked back at him, "It's nothing to worry about, it shouldn't be important to you." Then, Enrique walked up to Ethan, "Ethan! What're you doing? Aren't you supposed to be doing warm ups?" "Arg . . ." Ethan moaned and walked back to where Enrique and him were doing warm ups. Enrique poked me. "Are you just going to be lazy?" he teased me. "Maybe," I replied. "Come on, do warm ups with Ethan and me."
        During lunch, my table started cracking up over the conversation we were having. Soon Ethan noticed and sat in the chair in front of me. Once Vimi was finished laughing, she asked, "Why are you sitting here?" Ethan shrugged at her question and continued eating the Doritos he had with him xD. Then Paula resumed talking about the conversation everyone was laughing about (You don't want to know what it was about; all I can tell you is that it was really inappropriate [sorry were immature like that ._.]) For most of the time he was sitting at my table, he was looking at me. I was trying my best not to make eye contact with him a lot. But whenever something came up, I looked at him and he was already looking at me, we would give each other this face and then I would laugh and he would smile.
