Year six

" Come on Brielle we have to go to the library we've got lines after all." She rolls her brown eyes jokingly, "remind me why we have to write fifty lines of ' I must remember my homework.' She groans throw her head back in annoyance causing her dark brown plait to hit the metal seat we are sitting on in the lunch area. "I don't know Bri we have to or else we..." " will have to write out a hundred I know." She cuts me off and I swat at her causing us both to fall into a fit of giggles and we are still laughing as the teacher lets us go. Mrs Fallzone gives a weird look before waving her hand at us signalling for us to leave. The boys were were streaming out from behind us in clumps all heading to the oval to play there routine game of football. " Zayn is so perf. " Brielle breathes out and I can imagine her eyes with hearts instead of pupils but I don't even bother to look over at her. Instead I just continue to stare, annoyed at Claudia who was obviously trying to flirt with Louis and was succeeding. Louis was laughing his head off. Jealousy smothered me like a blanket and murderous thoughts of strangling that complete bitch filled my mind. Suddenly my feelings changed from jealousy to a longing, a long for someone to look at me the way couples looked at each other, for someone to hug me in that awkward way the couples hugged in our grade. I wanted someone to even have the biggest crush on me so that I was all that they thought about. Because that's exactly what happens with Louis. Even though the whole ' dating ' thing was a bit full on for our age my feelings for Louis were stronger than anything I had ever felt before. And I knew this crush wasn't just a faze because it had been consistent for about a year and a half, unlike Claudia who had dated about four boys in the past three weeks.
" come on Jade we have to go to the library, or isn't that what you said." Said Brielle putting putting extra emphasis on the 'you?' And snapping me out of my thoughts. " oh, don't be a smart ass." I grumbled. " watch your language missy." Said Brielle in her best teacher voice. " bitch." I murmured as we started moving towards the library. "Dumb ass" is her fail of a comeback. " says the C+ student to the A student." She gives me a playful glare and pushes opens the library door. " Afternoon Mrs Turner." We say to the librarian before heading to the back of the library where the tables were. " so lunch time goes for about twenty minutes and we've got fifteen left so if we go really fast we..." I start to ramble " just shut up!" Brielle interrupts in a whisper yell. Well fell into a silence as we scribbled the words down as quickly as possible onto the paper. I believe I had written about twenty or so when a red faced Mary Hayward arrived at our table panting as she pulled out one of the chairs. I chose to ignore and continued writing out my lines. I continued to ignore her as she chattered on to Brielle, ?well I managed to ignore her until she said something that caught my attention and made me look up. " Louis is desperate." Mary says causally. Brielle caught on immediately to what Mary was trying to hint at and her eyes widen considerably, it's apparent that she never expected to hear that about her cousin. " but what about Meg?" Brielle asks the question that was playing in my mind. " guess he really doesn't like her. " Mary shrugs as she says this.
" have you been running around?" Mrs Blucher questions a still red faced Mary. " obviously." Mary replies smugly as she flips her reddy- brown hair over her shoulder? Her cheek towards the teacher shocks me and obviously surprises Mrs Blucher because she takes a while to recover her self before telling Mary she should go and get a drink. Mary rolls her eyes and leaves the library."I've finished my lines, and because she's packing up her pencil case It's apparent Brielle Is as well. Good timing because just then the bell rings. "Well that was interesting to,say the least. " I just nodded instead of verbally responding to her because if I opened my mouth I could just see myself telling her my feelings " mmmmmm... Who do you like?" I just shook my head and grinned at her. She just rolled her eyes at me, she was used to me doing this to her because this was my reaction every time she asked. You would have thought she would have figured out by now that I wasn't going to tell her. Our classroom was about twenty metres from the library so it takes about 30 seconds to get back. And we are second only to Stephanie who always arrives at the room before anyone else. The class slowly begins to gather outside the class room and sit down in two not-so-straight lines. Brielle begins to tell Ella H the story of what had occurred in the library and I listened to Brielle's version of what had happened in the library. When she reaches the part where Mary arrives and gives us her 'message' Ella winks and points at me without Brielle seeing. I put on a fake shocked face and shake my head but my minds racing with questions; is she serious?
Does he like me?
I was so preoccupied that when Mrs Tomkinson arrived and the rest of the class started disappearing into the classroom I was still sitting alone on the ground. When I finally came back to reality the entire class was inside reading. I could see our Sports teacher Mr Curitan walking up the path towards our so I didn't bother with getting out my book. I just looked over at Peyton and mouthed ' partner ' she smiled as she nodded her head. So when Mr Curitan arrived at the door I walked straight over to her and put my arms around her shoulders. We made pointless small talk on our way over to the hall but my heart wasn't really in it. I could stop thinking about Ella pointing at me. She has to be joking. I shake my head and turn back to Peyton and try to figure out the subject of the conversation but she was to far into it so I nodded when she finished a sentence. About five minutes later after a long lecture about not damaging the school property in the hall, Mr Curitan explained to us that we would be playing am slightly twisted game of netball. The class was smiling but stopped when the word twisted was mentioned.
Everyone's attention has left Mr Curitan by the time he had finished his speech.
He claps his hands and says words that make my hearts stop.
"Jade, you'll be defending Louis. "
