~Xialla Brooks, entry 12. A new friend~
A new student moved in a few months ago, a Taylor Doyle. He’s been busy trying to catch up on the semester work, but he got sick, and missed a lot of stuff, so my homeroom teacher asked if I would go deliver some schoolwork for him on my way home, which is how I found myself outside of his house.
He probably was some sort of jock, or something, but all I had to do was drop off his schoolwork then go home to work on math, so I knocked.
His dad let me in, his name is Jasper. “He’ll be down in just a moment, he’s doing something right now.”
“Okay, not a problem, I could just give you the paperwork...”
“No, it’s no trouble, I’m sure Taylor would love to meet you-!”
I kinda just wanted him to take the paperwork, forget about me and shush...so, he did. Something HAPPENED, I am not sure what exactly...but he forgot about me.
“Uh...I’m sorry, who are you?”
I was confused, but also relieved. Maybe he’ll take the paperwork now? “Uh, a student from Taylor’s high school, our teacher asked me to give this to you, since he was sick this week.”
“Oh. Thanks...sorry, I must’ve dozed off.”
I handed him the paperwork. “It’s no trouble. I’ll just be on my way...”
Suddenly, I heard steps, and there was Taylor Doyle. “Hey Dad, what did you need me for...oh, hi.” He laughed nervously. “I didn’t realize anyone was here! I’m Taylor.”
“Xialla, um, your homeroom teacher asked me to drop this off. I’ll just be on my way...”
“Wait, is geometry your homeroom? ...WAIT, Xialla Brooks right?”
“Y-yeah...”
He smiled, and was...okay, REALLY CUTE. “I was wondering if you remember the homework from last Monday? I’m struggling on the last problem...if you have a minute, that is?”
“I...sure, I can take a look.” What could it hurt? He didn’t seem like a jock...and as it turned out, he was a nerd like me.
I may have just made a friend, over Sims Racing and geometry. SQUEEEEEEEEE!
(AN: Fun fact, this is the old house that Andi and Hope rented eons ago, when they first came to Strangerville!)
