Songs to Remember: Taken for a Fool - The Strokes

        This is probably going to be a long post, just saying. Also I can't really think of anything clever to so for these first few sentences.

        So I'm in World History class, teacher says stuff, we take notes. The end. English class, the teacher is not making it easy for anyone. Based on her rules and s***, but that's about it. Today we just went on the Chromebooks and did a practice quiz on plagiarism and copyright. Then we heard librarian talk about online resources for about 20 minutes. The quiz was bootleg though, and not in the good way. It wasn't really multiple choice, it was more of a "Yes" or "No" thing. It wasn't a real test or anything, just to test our knowledge on plagiarism and stuff. We lick on either "yes" or "no" (whichever's correct) and it'll take us to a page explaining the answer.

        But most of them (99%) had instead of a solid "Yes" or "No", they had " Probably not, but it can be". Like every single question answer was just "Probably, but it could be" bs. Like, is it f***ing yes, or no. YES, OR NO.

        So today, our teacher was having us do another experiment again (not really an experiment, more of an activity) and he had us go around the room, measuring stuff like our arm-spans, height, shoe size, etc. I was like "Yes, yes, yeeeees. Please let us choose our own groups". And guess what? He said " You and your partner" and I'm just like "More like, Yue and her partner". Yeah that's right, pun city. I can't get enough of her name.

        But then, this dude who sits next to me, you know, the guy who's about double my height, could probably kill me with his own thumb, he asks me if I wanna be his partner. And I just answer " sure", just 'cause I wasn't thinking. Then he was like "You know, only if you want to". When it was time to start working, the dude was like " So are we partners or" and I guess he saw me and Yue pointing to each other and he was like "You wanna be partners with her? It's cool man" and I was just like "Ffffffff*** yeah!" Cool guy, cool guy. Very understandable.

        So Yue and I start working on measuring stuff. We start with measuring the length of the classroom in meter's, done by using 2 meter sticks, each of us having one and moving each to the end of the other and repeating. Only until we almost reach the other side of the classroom does Yue realizes and tells me "Wait, did we count?" And I'm just like "Ohhhh my god" and she and I were laughing for a bit and we decide to do that one later, since it was sorta crowded with many people doing at the same time.

        The next easiest thing to do was measure each other's heights. And like, I measure her height, she measures mine and I'm just thinking "Oh my god, is this really happening right now? Me measuring her height? Together? As lab partners for this one activity? Ohhh my god". She's like " Oh I'm short, you're so tall" and I'm just thinking "She's almost as tall as me, just a few inches less, and I'm 5' 4"." But I can see that it was cute so I'll go with it. The next thing we do is measure each other's circumference of each other's heads and then our arms spans and our shoe sizes.

         During this whole time, my mind was half- in awe of believing this is happening, the other half trying to maintain consciousness. With all this measuring of each other, there was a lot of physical contact, mostly around the hands and arms. I do admit, when I was measuring the length of her elbow to her fingertip, I did purposely place my hand on her hand to help measure with the ruler. I don't regret anything. After we were done measuring ourselves, we had to weigh some objects like nickels, pennies, and ourselves. I went on the scale and I saw my weight for the first time in... I don't know, years? The last time I saw my weight was when I was 100 lb. I stepped on the scale and I was 109 point something lb. And I was like "Aren't you gonna weigh yourself" and she was like "I weigh myself everyday so I already know my weight" and then shewas like "I'm 1 lb heavier than you" and she was like chuckling a bit and I was just like "Oooooooh mmmmyyyyy goooooddd. Where is NY junk food?" I stay up way too late at night (like I am now) and so that's probably why I can't gain much weight. Besides the fact I'm in my teens, I lose a lot of calories staying up at night. Not too late though, I usually sleep at 12:00 AM.

        So Yue and I were done doing the activity stuff, we were just sitting at a desk and converting the measurements, as so it says on the paper. As we were doing so, she asks me if I have a Facenovel, and I'm just like "Yeah" and so she hands me her phone to search myself up. I was thinking like "Well, you certainly made me waste a lot of my time on the research on Facenovel. At least now I don't have to send a random friend request". And so we're done with the activity, period ends, I walk out with Yue, and since my mind's half a functioning at that time, I asked her something I probably already asked her. I think I asked her " Is Honors Pre-cal hard?" In which I'm like "F***, we probably already covered this". So we converse, for a bit. She's like " Honors pre-cal is so hard, I don't ubdeetsna dit, I'm so dumb" and I'm just like "Yesss, the perfect time to slip in a compliment" and I'm like "You're not dumb, you're pretty smart". And she goes to her next class and we're good.

        She also physically touched my right arm a bit when she left. " Looks like I'm not washing my right arm from now on". Just kidding. Definitely not complaining about the physical contact. Anyways, probably the 2nd, if not, the best time I've had in chemistry so far, the first being on the 1st day of school. Now if only this wasn't only in chemistry class. But, I gotta remember that dating a senior would just be a 100% chance of bad.

        Next was the gates of hell, a.k.a, P.E. Today we practice doing serves. Was it serves? I forgot what it was called. I think it was serving. We had to hit the ball with the heels of our hands (yes, heels). I think I only got it across the net about 1 time only, out of like, 15 practice hits? Yep. The teacher tested each of us on one serve each. About 50% of us failed, some miserably, whole the other 50% hit it way over the net, in which one dude hit the ceiling light. It didn't fall though, btw.

        So when P.E was over, and everyone was standing outside the gate, waiting for the bell to ring for lunch, I see Vt, and how she's talking to this one dude who's like, taller than me. The bell rings and I'm walking to my locker, a new route this time, and It's in front of me with her friends. Whole walking, I see her do the same thing she did with me. She's like "You're Randy right?" Or something like that. Then she's like "Yesss" and I'm just like "Okay, what the f***?" Like, "Ohhhh myy gooodd". I'm just like, no, I don't want to have anything to do with this. And why does she sound like she's so congrstulative of herself on remmebering soneones's name? Or something. Anyways, I don't want anything to do with it. Inb4 there becomes a Vt arc.

        Anyways, I go sit down at my usual spot, my buddy, or actually a dude I know, know more than some people, whom o see around, but don't really talk to. He's in my P.E Volleyball class and his name is Drew as well. I always see him eating his lunch at the same place I hangout when we're released early from P.E, and by same place, I mean 3 feet away from me. So I was like " 'Sup Drew" and I'm just feeling weird, having to say hello and saying my own name. And he's like "Hi Drew". And so we talk a bit about Volleyball and I guess were friends now. I'm guessing that since he invited me and our mutual friend Drew (yes, 3 Drews), to go see a movie tomorrow. Pretty random, but, the movie we're gonna go see is " As Above, so Below", so I'm like "Ehhh, friends, movie, Friday, horror genre, probably gonna be scarred for a while, Ehhh, why not".

        The movie's rated and we all know what happened las time when I went o go see The Purge: Anarchy. So I was like " Isn't it rated r" and he was like "We could pay for another movie and watch it anyways" and I'm just like "*gasp*, Drew! I thought you had more integrity than this" and I WS just like "Ehh, I've never snuck into different movies before, why the f*** not" and so I was like "What time?" So apparently we're going to go see As Above, So Below tomorrow, I'm probably gonna s*** my pnats since I've never watched a horror movie in theaters before. Unless you count "Monster House" then uhhh, nope.

        Since it's late, I'll just summarize the rest of my day. Math, work, lots of work, hard. Chinese class, go over homework, practice speech, I get a note, counselor wants to see me, I walk across the school, she says there's a problem with academies, I told her I told the academy teacher last year, she's like "Okay", I walk back to class across the school, 5 minutes left of class, I walk out with El, she doesn't go with me all the way through the back of the school this time, instead goes back to her old route, aaaaand I'm home.

        And I play some AT: Battle Party with my buds, my best bud arguing with n other buds about college, I wish to help, I finish some homework, aaand I'm seeing a horror movie tomorrow. See you tomorrow. "I'm not gonna aim high and be let down" -Best Bud, 2014.
