Tic Tack Toe

October 9, 2013
     Today was good. During gym, we went outside to do the lap. I walked with Alexia and Paula. Ethan and Kate were somewhere behind us. Ethan soon went between Alexia and I and rested his arms on our shoulders. "How's everyone doing?" He asked. "Okay." Alexia and Paula answered. "Good." I replied. Later on, Kate started to throw rocks at Ramon. Ramon ran in front of me. "Ariana stop walking." He told me. "Kate if you throw those rocks you'll hit Ariana as well." He told Kate. I looked at Kate. She smirked, "I won't." Kate picked up a rock and threw it. But while she did that, Ethan pushed her hand from my direction. "No Kate!" He told her as he moved her hand. The rock flew and it hit Alexia instead of me. "Ah! Jesus!" Alexia shouted. My eyes widened. "Oh my gosh Alexia are you okay??" I asked her. "Haha yeah I'm fine." She laughed. Kate was about to throw another rock. "Stop throwing rocks." Ethan told her. He ran over to me. Grabbed my shoulder and touched my back. "Ariana, Ariana, are you okay?" I turned and looked at him. "Yeah I'm alright, don't worry." I assured him.

In language, I played tic tack toe with May while the teacher was was talking. I won I think one and May won one and another one was a tie. "Can I play with you guys?" Ethan asked as May and I played the game. We didn't say anything. A bit after, while the teacher was explaining the meaning of the do now, I saw Ethan drawing tic tack toe outline in the back of his notebook. He looked at me when he noticed me looking at what he was drawing. He then started to draw random lines around it. Then he was like, "I'm bored." And looked back at me then at his paper again. I turned around and Ethan scribbled the lines with his pencil. The talked some more. I noticed Ethan draw the tic tack toe thing again with the corner of my eye. "Do you want to play with me? I'm bored." He finally said. I turned around and he looked at me straight in the eyes. I smiled and took my pencil and drew a circle. I won the round and I drew another outline. I think it was tied. Then another one and I lost. Then I turned back around. So yeah.
