Remember That? by Ella G (ebook and pdf reader txt) 📕

"So Ms. V, what happened today while I was at my locker?" She bit into her red apple, her pale skin reflecting off the apple as white. "Well, I met a guy. Looks like we have the same intersests...I think. He only heard me listening to BVB." I said casually. "Mm. and what's his name?" She muttered, her mouth full of apples. "I dunno." She looked at me, then slapped me. "WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT FOR?!" I shouted surprised. "That, my dear Vay, was because you didn't ask that guy what his damn name was. Don't you know that if the person almost leaves, and you don't ask for a name, it kinda makes you seem desperate?" Luce said as-a-matter-of-factly. I sighed then said, "I dunno." She tsked her tongue and fixed her Hello-Kitty bracelets and BOTDF necklace.Finally, we reached Mr. Ray's math class, and I sat down at the back of the class, and I saved a seat for Luce, while she threw her apple core into the trash can. Then, she skipped all the way to the seat next to me, mouthed a silent thank you, and got out her phone and mathbook and pretended she was reading, when actually she was listenign to music. She quickly slid in her white headphones into her ears and listened to BOTDF. She loves them. I've only heard Sext, Candy Land, and Bewitched. She's literally listened to all of them. Mr. Ray made us do a math test, and after a thousand boring lectures and lessons on some boring math thing, I thought about that guy again. I dazed off for about 12 minutes I guess, because Mr. Ray kept calling my name, and asked me to answer the question. I glanced at Brenden, and he mouthed the number 42 in his mouth. I nodded at him, and replied to Mr. Ray's question. Mr. Ray shouted "CORRECT!!" In a stage announcer's voice, while everyone almost fell asleep. Connor Thompson fell asleep already, his pencil almost going up his nose. Luce already fell asleep her head laying on her math book, her headphones in, and her arms dangling down under her desk.

After a few minutes, or atleast an hour and 30 minutes, the bell rang. Luce's head suddenly shot up and looked around drowsily, then stretched her pale arms into the air. I looked at her, and stifled a giggle. She looked at me, then said, "Baby, you need a haircut if you love those bands so much. It won't make you look like a poseur if you knew those bands since you were in 4th grade."  She winked at me and waited for an answer. I made the duck face, pursed my lips, and said. "Maybe."and Mr. Ray was already at the teachers' lounge I guess, while everyone was already gone, only me and Luce remained in the silent room. "OH YEAH, TELL ME 'BOUT THAT GUY YOU SAW! HOW DID HE LOOK LIKE? WAS HE HOT? WAS HE NICE?" Luce suddenly shouted. "He had black emo style hair, erm, uhhh....OH YEAH he had a silver lip piercing, he had a PTV shirt on, and gray jeans with Converse. And, yeah, he was pretty...hot...I guess. And he was nice...we were kind of talking about our favorite bands." Luce thought for a moment, and her eyes opened within a second, looked at me, and replied. "His name is Andy Monroe. Pretty hot guy, has a sister that's 12 with her septum pierced, parents that work for Dell." I stared at her with awe. "What," she shrugged and got another apple from her bag. She loves apples. "I've known him since second grade, and I've known you since kindergarten. Pretty interesting." She looked at me again, and waggled her black eyebrows. I giggled, and we got our bags and walked out of the quiet classroom.

*Andy*

Well, after missing Gym class with my two psychotic fun friends, Astrid and Paige; we started going to our next class, Science. Astrid felt a bit better now, and Paige started twirling her blue hair and picking on her angel bites, while I sighed, and started searching for that girl. Finally, I found her, and started to feel a zap in my body, and she didn't notice me. I waved a little in her way, but she was busy talking to Luce, who I'm guessing is her best friend. I sighed again, and went to my locker, while Paige and Astrid went to their lockers. As soon as I got there, Zack was waiting there with Tic-Tacs in his hand. He offered me some, and as I took them, he suddenly asked, "I saw you waving to that girl. Kinda weird for you," He put more Tic-Tacs into his mouth, as I just stared inside my locker. He poked my hair, and looked inside. "Is that Narnia in your locker?" he said sarcastically. I shook my head, and chuckled. "Aha. So about that girl. Her name is Vay, you know." He said. I looked at him. Sometimes Zack can lie without you knowing. We're good liars, since we literally BEGGED our parents to go to the Warped Tour last year, but we lied and said we were going to a "classical" concert. Pshh. Parents these days. So gullible. Zack just stood there at my locker, staring at my eyes, and still eating his Tic-Tacs. "I'm not THAT gay, ya know." I told him. Zack almost spit out his Tic-Tacs out, since he was almost on the ground laughing. "Aye, Andy. I know you're not gay...ish. You're bi, for crying out loud. Well, I'm bi too, and we have a lot in common, so, WANNA MESS UP SOME FUCKING SHEETS?!" He practically yelled out. I almost shoved my whole head into my backpack inside my locker, and I could tell my face was red. I held onto the rim of my locker's door, trying to catch my breath, while Zack acted cool, still smiling, while shoving his Tic-Tacs into his mouth. "Is that a yes," he asked me in a high-pitched, bad British accent voice. "Or, a "no, I'd rather go mess up some fucking sheets with the rich, gorgeous, Vay Jackson?" I pursed my lips, and said, "No." It sounded like a question. I wanted to facepalm myself right now. He slugged my arm, and started combing his bleached white hair. Have I mentioned I have a lot of scene and emo friends? No? Well, now I have, so eh.

I grabbed my Science binder, and messed up Zack's hair. He scoffed girl-ish and messed up my hair too. Joke's on him since I have hair that looks like Alex Ramos's emo hair. I looked at him, and he slugged my arm again. I tsked my tongue, and we started walking toward Science. "Andy," Zack started. "Do you still think Mrs. Carter is still mad at you for almost setting her hair on fire yesterday?" I groaned out loud, and stopped in my tracks. I glared at him with my mouth open. "What.The fuck. Zack. WHY DID YOU REMIND ME?!" He pursed his lips, held onto my arm, and walked me to class, while I tried running downstairs. "Andy. It's fine. I'm with you. Astrid's with you. Paige's with you. Possibly, Vay's gonna be there with you. Anyways, you're the most rebellious person I know." I looked at him, sighed, and walked on with him, and Zack still gripping my arm all the way. Yesterday, I mixed atleast two chemicals together by accident while Ms. Carter was near me, and it caused a puff of smoke and fire, and it almost set fire to her blonde hair. I remember Astrid stifling her laughing, Zack pinching himself, his mouth pursed tight, and Ms. Carter shrieking, while trying to grip the fire extuinguisher the correct way, and sprayed the beaker, and my face was looking like Santa Claus, while Astrid and I went to the bathroom, and she helped me wash it off. Yes, she went into the guys' bathroom. I mean, it isn't as embarrassing as me going in a girls' bathroom. I shook the memory off, and Zack contuined to hum "Chemical Kids and Mechanical Brides" by Pierce the Veil. I playfully punched him, he looked at me mockingly, scoffed again, and stifled his chuckling, missing a chord in his humming. 

When I got to the Science room, Zack made me sit next to him at the back of the class, and when Ms. Carter came over, and she put a fire extuinguisher right next to my desk. Zack tried to hold his laughter, but instead, it burst out, and everyone else joined in. I just scoffed, and listened to Pierce the Veil again. I couldn't wait to get out so I could see her again. Corny, but still. I don't know why. It just feels right to be with her. I shook my head at the thought of not seeing her, and focused on the lyrics. I glanced at Ms. Carter, reading her lips. I practiced reading lips 'cause I mostly listen to music rather than listen. I caught a few words, like "Read 455 to 560 in your Science Textbook," and "Andy, start reading," I nodded at her, and started reading. Or just looking at random letters and pretending to read. Whichever way, I didn't really care. I crossed and uncrossed my legs as I watched time tick by. I flipped another page, and started looking out the window. It started snowing, and I groaned. I forgot to wear my coat. Fuck. Instead, I just blinked a few times, feeling sleepy, and started "reading" again. Zack was reading, actually READING, and looked at the pictures without interest. After a few minutes, Zack fell asleep, his hand holding up his face, Astrid's green hair was already in her usual braid again, and Paige was staring at the floor, probably thinking about somethign funny, because her lips slightly turn up, and sometimes she laughs silently. I thought about a random subject, snow, and drifted off into LaLa Land.
