Chapter Eight: Nike jacket

Monday,06:30
Buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

My alarm rings.I reach out to snooze it for another 10 minutes.
Oh ,oh no ,it can't be 06:39.

I'm late.
I rush out of bed and head to the shower.

Goodness, I can't believe I'm late!

I only have 30 minutes to get ready. I really hate being in a rush.

Well maybe if you stopped snoozing your alarm from 05:30,you would've been done by now.

I really hate being in a rush ,because I forget some of my stuff at home.

Once I forgot my Natural science writing book at home,but luckily the teacher got sick on her way to school.But this isn't the day I wanted to tell you about. I have never had a heart break from any of my teachers ,N E V E R!!!!

I once had forgotten about my math homework. That day I felt like I could sink into the floor. It's as if it was yesterday. I Amika  Libane was the only person who was standing in front of the principal's desk.

Here's what happened:

The night before, I was doing my math homework and I got sleepy ,so I decided that I'll wake up extra early to finish it up.

I woke up late ,I was in a rush and I forgot my book on my study table.

Oh and that day I could perfectly remember ,where in my room it was, I could remember the last sum I wrote before I went to sleep, the way it laid on my study table. That was the 1st time I left my book at home and my 1st time to get into detention.

After I finish showering and putting on my uniform and stuff, I was left with only few minutes to go to school  and there wasn't time for me to eat breakfast. My mother was already waiting for me in the car. I wonder why she forgot to wake me, because after that day of my detention she always makes sure I wake up on time.

Oh and my father got home last night,for a month. After being discharged from hospital.
So mommy and daddy will be taking me to school today,or should I say I won't be walking to school!!!!

I kiss them both on the cheeks and I open the door to go out.

++++++++

*Arrives at school*

I go to where I and my friends usually meet in the mornings.I and my friends have different places to meet ,for different times, people call us crazy.

"Morning ,everyone.", I greet eveyone who was sitted on the half built wall that supports the devil's fork. That everyone is the squad ,Mike ,Rachel and best friends haven't arrived. The atmosphere is even amazing. The squad that's here is the newbies ,so I don't know their names. I only know Erica and Tina.

The thing is I'm just so not ready to learn their names.

Oh and also, I forgot to mention ,the reason why I know Erica's name ,is because she used to be in the same school as Summer and Tina.

"Hello", everyone greeted back ,with a smile. I should say that they are kind.

"Friend, thank goodness you are here.",says Summer ,as she gets up and runs to hug me ,as if there was someone racing with her . She's always this happy when she sees me,even when she's sad.

We sit down and begin chatting.
Uhmm let me not forget the part that we also isolated ourselves from others. People say what we do ,the isolation is really rude. But it's just in our immune.

"Do you believe that we are starting with classes today, I'm so super annoyed",says Summer in irritation.

"Why, shouldn't we be happy, I mean you were the one who was waiting for this day to come?", I reply .

Today ,we will be starting with classes.We've already been given our timetables,.meaning today we are going to go into learning.

"But do you really think it'll be fun to have Math as the 1st period and Math as the period before break,huh!!??" ,Summer looks super upset at this.

But I really understand her. I mean having math as your 1st period on Monday is super lame. Worse she's in the smartest class in grade 10

Jeez, guys how could I forget to tell you this. Lately I've been forgetting things and I'm genuinely sorry.
Butt Summer is in the 10M'sssss.
Amazing right.
I didn't get the place ,but I'm glad my closet friend is in the nerd class.

"Ohh I'm so sorry ,and speaking about periods ,let me check which periods am I going to."I say ,taking out my timetable.  "Afrikaans, PET, English then break."

"Lucky you friend, can we change classes please."

"Never", I laugh at her.

After a long silence ,I decide to speak.

"So ,Summer I really need to tell you something.", I say as I look to her.

"Uhh,speak", Summer says ,being all ears.

"So there's this guy, I really don't remember, whether if you remember him ,but like we are in the same class and I- oh there he is"

"Who?", Summer looks around looking all confused.

I point my finger to Jayden's directions. I tilt Summer's face towards him. What a coincidence that whenever I talk or think about him he shows up.

"Amika ,who?"she questions again.

"Hey,guys!" ,Mike greets us.

"Hey" , Summer and I simultaneously say.

"There. Quick, before they disappear. ",I point again ,"Do you see those group of boys, walking past the staff room?"

"Yeah , I do."

"See the guy with the Nike school bag?."

"Aaa,Amika there are two guys with the Nike bags with them."

"The one with the black one"

"They are both black Nike bags.Amika can you please be more specific.",she says folding her arms.

"Okay, fine ,sorry. The guy in the black and grey Nike jacket with curly semi-afro, shaved hair at the sides and the back of his head ." I explained to Summer, look the thing is she said I should be more specific and I really don't know what these now our days boys hair cut are called.

"Oh yeah I do ,but I missed his face." Summer sighs."Who's that?", she questions.

"Yeah ,who's that Amika",Mike questions ,luckily they both didn't see Jayden's face, because I don't want Mike knowing about my crushes. "Is he your crush?" ,Mike questions again.

"Yep ,he is the one." I answer proudly.

Reason being that I agreed to that Jayden is my crush,it's because Mike doesn't know his name and his face, but the guy in the Black and grey Nike jacket.

"Yhoo ,and why did he put on a jacket to school ." Summer question.

"Because it's cloudy,Summz." I answer.

"But it isn't a school jacket?" ,she questions again . I sigh at this question, because I also really don't know  why is Jayden wearing that jacket at school .

Bell rings for start of school.

"Bye guys ,I better run.I don't want to be late for math",Summer waves good bye.And the rest of the squad said the same.

"Bye" , I and Mike say back,as we were the remaining two behind.

"Haven't you seen Rachel?" Mike asks me as I walk to my 1st period.

"Nope."

"Jessica?"

Let me remind you. She's from Rachel's squad from last year.

"Nope"

"Tina"

"Nope"

"Amika ,haven't you really seen any of my classmates" he asks me once again, and his looking desperate. You know why? Because he doesn't want to walk alone to class.

"Nope, and why are looking for them?" I ask

"I'm afraid of walking alone.", he answers

See ,I told ya.

"Okay, which class are you headed?"

"Life Science(Biology)"

"Cool, not far from my English class, I'll take you there "

"Oh Amika! Have I ever told you how cute you are.",he says in excitement .

"Arghh whatever Mike.Let's just go."

I'm really looking forward to this day
