First Day of School

I wanna start a QOTC (Question of the chapter because I don't update everyday)

QOTC: Do you know another language?

AOTC: Yes, I speak semi-fluent Spanish

"Wake up, Raven." My mother said "First day of middle school!"

"Mom!" I groaned groggily "Nothing's gonna change. I'll be the same old weirdo with the same old bullies."

"Raven, don't start with me." She lifted the covers off me "Now, wake up!"

"Fine." I forced myself out of bed. I threw my clothes on, brushed my teeth, and grabbed an apple and walked to school. A pink haired girl walked next to me. I find myself looking at her, she just looked so...interesting.

"What do you want?" She asked with a glare

"Nothing, nothing." I say embarrassedly

She laughed and looked at me with a smirk "I'm Jenny."

"Uh, Raven."

"You new?"

"Yeah."

"What class?"

"I'm supposed to be in homeroom with Mr. Moth according to the orientation."

"Guess we're not in the same class then." She shrugged and looked at me with a what-can-you-do face

We arrived at school quickly. As we entered the building, I could see she had her eyes fixed on a redheaded boy in a group of three. He noticed her gaze and the two boys followed the redhead to Jenny. I clutched the books in my hands nervously.

"Hey, Jenny!" He asked "Who's this?"

"That's my new friend Raven." She explained and I waved awkwardly "That's my best friend Wally and that's Victor, that's Garfield."

"Sup." Victor said "Love to talk but Karen's waiting for me." He waved goodbye and ran off to find this Karen

"I'm Garfield, but you already know that." He smiled at me

"Raven." He took my books out of my hands

"You must be the new girl in my class. Moth, right?"

I nodded and he took me to class.

"Raven, Garfield. Two minutes late. I expected more out of this class." Mr. Month said

I took a seat at a desk and Garfield sat at an empty desk next to me.

"You could sit anywhere in this room, y'know?" I whispered

"I don't wanna, let me be your friend."

"Can I sign your yearbook?" My friends all asked me. They all filled out pages of my book with well wishes, phone numbers, and smiley faces.

All but one

"Garfield? Aren't you gonna sign my book?" I asked him as my friends left to sign other books

"Sure." He stood up from his chair and I handed him my yearbook. He scribbled in it with his pen for two full minutes until he handed it back to me "Don't open it until later." He warned "Call me when you get it. I'll see you."

"Bye." I said

Arriving home, I almost forget about the yearbook. I search every page until I catch a glimpse of his messy handwriting.

Dear Raven,

H.A.G.S! Crazy we got out of middle school alive, right? I had an awesome year! I got my first kiss (even though we broke up) and I met my best friend, YOU!

Loved sixth grade, now it's time for seventh. I'd love to walk into school in September holding your hand. No, like, actually holding your hand.

Will you be my girlfriend? Call me.

"Is this a joke?" I wondered aloud as I dialed the numbers

"Raven?" He asked "I assume you read it."

"Yeah, why would you ask something like that?"

"I just-"

"You already know the answer."

"I know, I know! I'm so-"

I hung up, but not before saying "Of course I'll be your girlfriend!"
