Kai, 12 Years Old
The waistband of my tight jeans dug into my lower back, slipping further
and further over my hips as I shifted into the rigid metal chair. Positioned at
the far end of the classroom, I was able to hide it by sitting sideways, facing
my backside to the poster-covered wall, and planting my feet in the aisle. It
was my hopeless attempt at keeping the other kids from knowing just how
much I loved cachapas.
Five past the hour. Our teacher still hadn’t arrived.
These awkward, in-between moments were the worst for a new student,
which I was, unfortunately. It was next to impossible to simply sit in my
seat nonchalantly while everyone else chatted comfortably with the kids
around them. Especially since it was a Spanish class, and I bet the teacher
knew the new girl was fluent. She’d probably come in guns a’blazing to
show off her own Spanish skills by having a conversation with me for all to
hear. I cringed internally just thinking about it.
The entire last week of my life was spent moving across the country to this
little California town by car with my chatterbox parents in the front seat
singing and whooping the entire way. It was safe to say I never wanted to
hear the language again.
Not that I wasn’t excited about the move. I was. Very. I was excited every
day; something cool always happened. But in this particular moment, the
word uncomfortable didn’t even begin to cut it.
I observed the two boys sitting adjacent to me to pass the time and avoid
my own thoughts.
A small, pale boy with black jeans and even blacker hair was swung
around scribbling on a piece of paper on the desk behind him. At the desk
behind him sat a bigger boy with a plaid shirt and a warm complexion. The
bigger boy looked down at the smaller one’s most recent scribble, scratched
something back, and pushed the paper toward his friend, who immediately
looked up and shrugged. The big one nudged the air with his chin. The
small one turned to face me.
“We like your shirt,” he said quickly, glancing at my Boys Like Girls Tshirt which was conveniently pulled under my bum.
“Oh. Thanks.” I forced the most awkward giggle known to man and
swallowed hard, plastering a smile on my face. I didn’t expect them to
speak to me, but I was happy they did. Say more, Kai. Be friendly. “I,
uhm… I got it at the town fair last fall.” I picked at the T-shirt with my
bitten nails as my rubber bracelets rolled in the cotton, sticking in a fold to
the right of my belly button. “They’re, uhm… They’re from the same area
as me. The band. And they played…at the town fair.” Too much. Now
you’ve said too much. Weirdo. You are so weird.
