Shut down your spicy lookin 3 monitor computer and pack up your belongings at least 5 minutes before the droning school alarm will ring. Luckily for you, you sit the closest to the exit, so shift your body toward the door. Listen for that quiet speaker squeak like you are at a track meet listening for the gunshot that starts the 100m sprint.
Proceed to exit out the door and in six feet, take a sharp turn left. Walk as FAST as you can (but don’t run because that’s just embarrassing), dodging the crowd of people, till you see the sunlight through the A building doors.
Push through the doors or pause for that dude to open the door from the outside and NOT hold it open for you.
Now walk straight and veer right to walk diagonally across the ramp; wave your hand to signal hi to people passing by (and act cool). Steer your way through the disgusting dusty blue tables and OH NO, this is where traffic is going to kick in. At this point, you might be breathing like you just ran a delicious mile. Take a deep breath and adjust your back-pain-inducing-backpack-that-weighs-more-than-you before you walk through the alley way between the theater and [I forgot what letter building the performing arts are in… F building]. Don’t make it noticable, but search the crowd for that one face…. WAIT… you can’t see him.. QUICK: *recalculating*.....but you saw him this morning…. Oh! Dum dum, he walks slow so he is probs barely leaving his class haha… then pause because people don’t know how to walk up and down 3 stairs.
When you see him walking toward you, slowly make a u-turn so you can walk beside him and literally retrace the path you just sped through.
Enter a mindless spiral of not being able to look at him when you are speaking and cover your face as much as you can because you’re insecure (BUT look at him when he’s speaking). Then get nervous because the crowd is getting bigger and you have to focus on dodging them WHILE you keep up with him.
Steal a look at your reflection in the theater windows and proceed forward together down the ramp towards the B building. Exit the mindless spiral once you both manage to get into the B building after getting pushed around through the door. Take a right turn around the corner and look out for the zombie door stopper; yield before you enter so you can give him the right-of-way to enter first.
Then press the honking sign in your brain and scream hi to the teacher at the top of your lungs before you take your seat.
The seat right next to your temporary crush.
