Off To Boarding School [014] Say Hello To The Pavement



My new class wasn't as horrible as I thought it would be. The dissection was review, but still disgusting. Everything was really slack and I had fun with Deena, but as soon as I opened the door to my dorm I realized how tired I was.
I pulled off my purple hoodie and slipped under the covers of my bed, exhaustion took over and my eyelids began to close slowly.



I awoke to the next morning; unbathed and drool-stained.
I checked the date on my cellphone, it was finally Friday. I had no classes today which I was greatly grateful for.
First week of school already gone, I might've met the guy of my dreams, I found a boyfriend and manage to cheat on him with the sex god of the school.
You got started early this year!
My cellphone vibrated in my hands; I'd just received a message from my Dad telling me to beware of hormone crazed highschool boys and blah blah blah.
Ugghh. What can you do for fun in a boarding school?
You can sneak into the supplies closet and do naughty things?
Um, I'd rather not
What about Kevin? Why don't you call him and do something together?
I don't really feel like it, I mean I love hanging out with him; but it always leads to something that I'm not quite ready for yet.
Hello, that's what boyfriends are for.
I decided to call Jesse and find out what she was doing for the day.
I grabbed my phone and dialed Jesse's number in.
"Hello?" a way too perky voice answered.
"Ugh, Uh Hey Jesse it's Jenna, just wondering what you were doing today?"
"Oh Jenna, I wish you would've asked before.I'm spending the day with Adam" she said excitedly.
Which got me excited to "Really? That's great. I guess I'll find somebody else to bore"
"You can come along if you want, what about Kevin?"
"No really it's okay, bye now" I said hurriedly hanging up the phone.
I rejected the idea of calling Ana in fear that she would say James name, causing me to into convulsion.
What is wrong with me? Kevin's perfect, James is not. I should want to be spending every single waking moment with him. I'm so pathetic
Your right, you are pathetic.
Thanks!
Do I sense sarcasm?
In excruciating amounts
Maybe you should just hang out with Jesse's little brother since we've already reviewed the fact your pathetic anyway
Hmmmm, maybe I will. I mean there's not much to do. Now where would I find an annoying 15 year old?
He's probably doing something recreational
Hmmm

I decided to walk down to the empty pool I had seen on my first day here filled with all sorts of unusual gangly bodies on skateboards.
I tried to spot Jesse's blonde blue-eyed brother with little success.
I sat down on a bench and watched as many of the gangly bodies planted there faces into the ground; there were some rare ones that actually made it into the air and back down without saying hello to the pavement.
I was actually enjoying myself, but I do have to say I probably looked like a freak just sitting there watching.
"Hey Jenna"
I looked up from where I was sitting to find a noticeably taller Josh.
"Hey Josh" I replied looking up at him and taking it in.
"What are you doing here?" he asked weirdly.
"Looking for you of course" I said, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Hmmmm. . . why?" he asked while squinting his eyes.
"Because everybody else is busy and your the only one I could think of" I answered truthfully.
"Strangely enough, I am not offended by that. I would love to spend the day with my sister's loser friend" and that's when I punched him, not too hard you know? I didn't wanna break his adolescent developing body.
"You hit like a girl" he said smiling.
I pretended to fake pout and smacked him over the head "Wanna get some coffee? Or are you not old enough?" I asked sarcastically.
"Hmmmm question is can you contain yourself around all this man?" he asked while gesturing to all that was his too skinny, too tall self.
"Oh I'll try really hard" I said faking mock concern.



We decided on shaved ice instead.
We took our cones and coincidentally sat under the same willow tree James had taken me my first day here.
"Is everybody here in love with this tree?" I asked leaning onto it. "I mean what's so great about it?!" I asked getting a bit hysterical.
"It's just a tree!"
"Uhhh Jenna, I just brought here cuz it was shady" he answered looking a little more than worried.
"Oh right" I said, staring down at my cone dejectedly.
"Somethings bothering you isn't it?"
"No, I'm fine. Never been better. I am A-OKay." I said looking up and giving him a crazed grin making us both laugh.
"Is it about Kevin?" he asked getting back to all seriousness.
"How'd you know we were together?"
"Word gets around, you know it's okay to feel overwhelmed in a new situation like boarding school. You could just be seeking refugee in a boyfriend you may not be ready to have, be it because of emotional or past deficient relationships; but I just want to let you know that it's okay to be single. But I'm always available for you" he added while winking.
I just sat there in shock, I think I was just psycho-analyzed by a fifteen year old boy.
He just smiled in return. "I know, I'm amazing" he replied smugly.
