For many different reasons, not just to hate it or because you didn’t like the teacher. It was just boring, but the one nice thing about it was seeing your new friend who actually enjoyed English.
MJ was unlike anyone you’d ever met before with such a love for books and reading. She always had her nose in a book and for you, that was never the case.
It was always difficult to focus on reading, especially a book you didn’t like. MJ and you were paired together for a project recently and this week was presentations, which basically meant English would only be even more boring this next week. It was difficult to not fall asleep, the only reason you weren't being that Peter and Ned were loud as hella behind you not paying attention what so ever.
You had your chin resting on your hand, tapping your fingers on the side of your face and tapping your foot as two kids in the class went on about their book report on a book of choice. MJ picked out the book you two would write about and basically read it overnight, while you fell asleep during chapter two. It was honestly a miracle that you even made it through chapter one but you had to write this book report that was a huge part of your grade.
You were lucky to get MJ as your partner. You two had never really talked much before you were paired together, mainly because of how different you were from one another but also because MJ usually kept to herself.
She was such an interesting person to get to know once you really talked to her and she always made you laugh. She’s always honest and blunter than anyone else in the whole school, making it one of the reasons why you liked her so much.
Little did you know that MJ appreciated your friendship so much that recently during class she’d been doodling pictures of you. She did this frequently with other people like teachers and classmates but she made this one look nice. It was easy since you were in the same boring position every day with the same facial expression of ‘I’d rather be doing anything else but this’ look.
You have caught her a couple of times glancing in your direction and scribbling on a notebook but you thought nothing off it, knowing it was most likely her just looking around the room bored during presentations.
To her, you were very easy to draw, having a beautiful facial structure that she has told you that you have before but you denied it. You two had been growing closer and closer but neither could accept compliments from each other. No wonder you were such good friends now.
That day she had finally gotten to finishing it as soon as the bell rang so she decided to give it to you at lunch. She ripped it out of her notebook and folded it nicely in her bag to join you outside that day.
“I cannot wait for presentations to be over but I just don’t want to have to do ours,” you complained, your favorite thing to do at lunch after English. Food tasted better when you were angry at English class for some reason, much to the hilarity of MJ.
“It’ll be fine, I’m just pumped to see Peter and Ned get up there and present. They tried to get a comic book passed to do their report on and that went over well.” You both laughed while eating your lunches, knowing they hated having to do an actual book for their report.
MJ pulled the picture out of her bookbag and unfolded it, looking it over. She looked at you and folded it back, up sliding it across the table like it was an important document.
“What is it?” you asked curiously.
“Listen, don’t make a big deal out of it because I doodle all the time but I made you something,” she replied, acting like it was nothing.
You cocked an eyebrow at her as you unfolded it slightly. “Is this why I keep catching you in English looking at me and pretending your not?” You knew that would catch her off guard and she would pretend that she never did such a thing, but you wanted to see her reaction.
“Uh, no I-I wasn’t looking at you, um yeah I guess maybe?” she said very quickly, shoving chips in her mouth as you laughed. You looked at the picture and almost cried.
Your new best friend had such amazing skills that she never appreciated enough. It was so lifelike and there were multiple little doodles of you doing different facial expressions but one big one in the middle of you focusing on something very intently with your tongue sticking out a little bit. YOu admired every bit of the drawing and looked at MJ who was awaiting a response.
“I love it, thank you so much Michelle.”
“Oh thank god, I was afraid you hated it.” You both laughed as you continued to eat, taking that doodle home with you that night and keeping it as a reminder of your best friend.
