Much for Paige

1

"Alright, today's going to be a great day, just like any other." I told myself. Its always been a great day for me. I fixed my uniform and grabbed my bag and went downstairs.

"Dont forget, you have Judo lessons this weekend, clear your schedule for it okay?" Mom brought out the cinnamon out of the oven. "Don't worry, I always have time for it." I took a bite of the hot cinnamon roll. "Don't you ever get stress with all the works you've been doing? I mean get this, you take judo lessons and  you have gymnastics for a club." Chester, my big brother said grabbing my glass of milk. "And your point is?" I took the milk back. "What I'm saying is... Aren't you a tad bit tired?" he asked. I do get tired if I really spoke the truth. "I do, but it's what I love. I love being athletic. What's the point of loving something if you don't get tired of it somehow?" I told him. "Wise words from our daughter. Wonder where you got that part of you." Dad said. I laughed the situation off but the topic made me remember something. " Of course, thank you for mentioning gymnast, I almost forgot my clothes." I thanked Chester. "You know pretty soon, you'll forget about your homework if you keep this up." he shouted while I went upstairs to get my club uniform. "Honey, you're going to be late, the bus is here." Mom called out.

"Michelle! Over here!" Avriel called, waving from the back of the bus. "Hey, did you finish the homework Mr. Butler gave?" I asked as soon as I got to her seat. "Unfortunately I haven't. I was going to ask you for help instead, but I might have been asking you for too much." She pouted. "Fine, fine, I'll help you out just this one time okay?" She gave out a thumbs up.

"So this cute guy in the next class, his name is Paul, he has been sneaking a look at you every now and then. What are you going to do? You think he likes you?" She asked when we got inside the classroom. "Avery, I know we're in high school now but that doesn't mean I'll go do whatever I want. I'm busy too you know." She sat on the desk behind mine and started Brading my hair. "Honestly you've been up and about with that judo lessons of yours ever since we were little. Can't you at least get a break?" She repeated the braid pattern on her brunette locks. "Trust me, I have and I will never do it again. My mother would kill me." Avery was done with Brading my hair when suddenly Paul came by. "H-hi Mich-" Avery stopped him, "Only I can call her Mich." "Ah right of course. Anyway... Uh would you like to hang out with me after school? I have 2 movie tickets for that new movie." he said, showing off his tickets. Oh darling such shameful. "I am so sorry, but I have practice. Every after school." I gave him an apologetic smile. "ah, I see, okay then..." He looked down. I gave Avriel a 'You know what to do' look. She looked at me smiling. "Hey uh Paul..., since you have those tickets and got no one to go with, it'll be a shame if it'd go to waste." She took her hand out, stretching it out for Paul. Paul however... Doesn't know how to respond. Damn, I need to help these two out. "She means that she'd want you to take her to the movies."
