* Based on true events that happened earlier this morning.*
It was a gloomy morning when I entered the hallways of my high school. I had gotten there a little earlier than I normally would so the halls were even more empty than they usually are on a Monday morning. The rubber sole of my sneakers screeched against the floor as I made my way quickly down to my locker. I approached the locker and noticed a couple grade nines lingering across the narrow hallway. I paid little attention to them as I loaded my arms with the numerous books needed for Bio twelve. Their words were just a mesh of mumbles until one word brought my own thoughts to a halt. "Love." Grade nines shouldn't be using a word like love when the only real concern in their life is what inspirational lyric/quote they should use for a caption on their Facebook profile picture. I decided to linger in front of my locker just to see what they might be talking about.
"I don't have time for you anymore." The girl in lime green converses admitted.
The boy who looked about nine was leaning on the locker next to her with his head dipped into a sulky slouch.
"You don't have to feel guilty about not spending time with me. I know we can figure this out if we try." He quietly said, not daring to look her in the eye.
"I'm sorry I just can't. It's not what you think. I just can't balance everything I have going on right now."
Balance everything she has going on right now? Like what? Do you need to manage the the time between feeding your webkinz and watching the final season of Hanna Montana?
The young boy stared down at his black skater shoes and let out a sigh.
"Well, what now?" He asked.
"Well, know I need to get to class. I hope we can still be friends." Said the young girl, turning on her heels and walking away. Making sure her non existing ass swayed in the process.
I looked towards the boy who was still slouched over in his dark DC hoodie. I gave him a reassuring smile and made my own way to class.
This is why relationships in grade nine are silly.
