Yay! I'm so happy! Thingamajiggy (Jairen) is in my class this year! We've been best friends since 6th grade and he pretty much got me through the whole public school experience! ^ ^ Last year we weren't so lucky and we landed in different classes. It was such a bummer! This year however is different! I'll have someone to be wierd with me! I won't feel alone with my openness and crazyness and...bisexualness =D lol.
In sixth grade the only friend I had was Jesse(girl) and I knew her since 1st. On the first day we were at lunch and she was talking about this boy in our class she thought was cool. The next day she brought him to our table so I talked to him. I didn't say much, I didn't know what to think of him really. He was kind of random really ^ ^' Well she kept bringing him to our table for the next few days and that was the only time I talked to him for some reason. Within the first week Jesse and I were having a conversation on the phone and she brought Jairen up. "Yeah, you know Jairen doncha?" she asked me. "Yeah he's the one you bring to our table all the time. What about him?" "Well, he is a little upset because you only talk to him at lunch. Maybe you should talk to him. He's the kinda person you'd hang out with" So I felt kinda bad needless to say. One day I was in first period related arts (PE at the time) and I saw Jairen sitting at a table by himself so I decided to walk over there. "You're Jairen right?" Of course I already knew that; I was making coversation (sue me ok? lol ^ ^') "Yeah you're Erica?" "That would be so! Mind if I sit with you?" He nodded so I sat down. (Keep in mind this is not a love story. I do not now nor have I ever liked Jairen lik that. This one time in 6th I thought I did but it was just gas ^ ^') Anyways, our PE teacher Mr.Gram gave us an assignment. I reached into my pocket to grab a pencil...nothing. "Crap, do you have a pencil? ^ ^''" Was my pathetic request. "Yeah." He handed me the sharpened pencil. I smiled as my thanks and then I looked down at the blank space on my part of the table. "You need paper?" he mocked. "Yeah that would be good thanks -.-'" We continued our assignment and all conversation stopped. It was sorta awkward. I actually thought about walking away but then I remembered what Jesse told me so I stayed. After the assignment Mr.Gramcracker (lol) gave us freetime to wonder around the gym and associate with our fellow classmates. Jairen and I walked over to the water fountain by the doors and just sorta hung out not knowing what to say to each other. "You know why I don't like PE?" I asked him. "Why?" "It's too easy to get hurt...and its just too much work. hehe I'm pretty lazy myself ^ ^" "Yeah me too!...I broke my ankle once." "Umm..." that was pretty random I didn't know what to say. "Ok, how?" "I was running down the track at my old elementary school, I tripped on a weed and I flew up and my ankle was completely turned to face my other foot and it slammed on the concrete and broke." "Well, OUCH!!" I laughed. "Worst I ever did was break my arm!" So our conversation pretty much went on like that and when class was over I said "So I guess this makes us friends?" "Yep! ^ ^ You know, it's funny how it happened too!" "Wha...oh! Yeah not many people can say that they became friends talking about injuries." And that pretty much began our adventures through middle school.
