Ficlets

Location, Location.

I had gotten Ryan talking. Not that I was really paying attention; I was way more concerned about playing with my hair and giggling. Everything was going really well – Hayden noticed me walking over (and I didn’t look over since, as to not look too obvious), I could tell Ryan was totally into me, and Ryan’s girlfriend was glaring from afar. Things were perfect.

I checked the watch above my head – two minutes till bell. My bookbag was still slinging off of my shoulder, my books for Math still in my locker. Thankfully, Ryan decided to stop talking for just enough time for me to tell him I had to get my stuff before the bell rang. With no knowledge that his girlfriend was mere yards behind him, he gave me a quick peck on the cheek before I left. I think it was supposed to be sweet without completely scaring me off.

I walked over to my locker, absorbing the genius of myself.

Hayden and the new girl were making out in front of my locker.
I went to math without my stuff.
