My name is Christina. I may not be the most “popular” kid at school but I am not a complete loser either. I do have a good amount of friends you could say. Including my best friend Juliana. She wants to be a DJ. I mean I believe in her. In fact, I offered her a future “First real gig” as the DJ of my Quince.

                Including a decent list of friends is my boyfriend, Marcus. He is the sweetest person you will ever meet. He is so kind and caring. He is the best in all honesty, he really is. We met in the seventh grade. I had just moved schools. I have always been shy and quiet and kept to myself. In the seventh grade however, I was the most happy, social, open book anyone could have ever imagined. I got along with everyone. My true self really bloomed I guess.

                I mean in all honestly I guess I really have actually always been this way, I just never knew it. Therefore, that was just the way I was, people were attracted to me as if I were some kind of social magnet. I remember vividly, on the second day of school I had technology first period- by the way we did literally nothing in that class but, play on the computers and use our phones. I sat smack in the middle of the row of computers.

                I was messing around with my computer when it started going crazy. The applications started closing themselves and I was very confused. I did not understand a thing that was happening. I turned to my side and asked the boy next to me, “Hey, can you fix this? You look like a kid who could help me.” I smiled warmly as I asked. He smiled back and started explaining what was wrong. However, I wasn’t listening. I knew from that moment on that I loved him.

                When the bell rang for second period, I asked him if I could see his schedule, he said sure. I saw the name at the top. Marcus. Now I know your name, I thought. As luck would have it, it turned out we had second period together as well. Our last names were close and the teacher had assigned seating in alphabetical order by last name. We were sat together. “The universe doesn’t want to separate us.” He said laughing. “I know it’s crazy.” I replied smiling.

                Those were the only classes we had together. First and second. I assume you could count lunch but I’m not counting lunch. At lunch, I made even more friends. I sat with my recently made friend, Genesis, whom I had for the previous period.

                “So…anyone spotted any cute guys yet?” Juli asked, raising her eyebrows. I instinctively blushed at looked down, trying to cover my face with my hair, which Genesis felt the need to point out. “Oh my gosh!” she exclaimed, “Chris has a crush!” She started bouncing up and down in her chair clapping gleefully. I gave her a dirty look, which she ignored.

                “Really?” Juli asked, amused at my embarrassment. “Who is it? Who is it?” said Genesis, still clapping. I ran my hand through my hair, a habit that I do when I get anxious. I sighed in defeat. I turned to look at Juli. “Well, uhm, Juli. Did you see the guy that got seated next to me in second-”, I didn’t have time to finish.

                She gasped very over exaggeratedly-might I add. “You like Marcus!” she practically screamed. I buried my face in my hands. “Could you have said that any louder?” I groaned. I uncovered my face and rolled my eyes mildly annoyed. She doesn’t seem to notice and continues talking.

                “Well I found someone.” She says smirking. “Who?” I ask thankful for the change of topic. “Well…” she continues, “I have found multiple someones.” “Oh no.” I say doing a face palm. “Well who are they?” Genesis spits out. Before Juli can answer the bell rings. We throw our trays and since no one of us have 5th period together we hug and go our separate ways. I go to History.
