Ah- yes. Today is the huge science exam. I plan to take the test like a normal person today, instead of freezing time and studying like I regularly do. I need to find a steady-paced routine, and find a spot amongst the crowd. I can't make myself known or draw any attention. I'm prepared for the exam, though.
Kids rush past me, hurrying to class as the bell rings. One kid stays back and casually walks, as if a stampede of teens didn't just knock me off my feet. He walks over to me. "Hi, I'm Franklin. I'm new here. Do you mind directing me to Mr. Monte's room?" I stumble into him as I lift myself up. I accidentally meet his gaze, and fix my eyes on his forest-green eyes. "Hi, welcome to hell," we both laugh, "Didn't mean to scare you if I did. Here, follow me. I'm on my way to his class anyway." We both walk down the maze-of-a-hallway, and end up at B308- Mr. Monte's room. "Lucky you don't have to take the exam, but you're in for it when we take finals next semester." He chuckles and looks up at me. "Thanks, see you at lunch?" Shocked that anyone would want to sit with me, I hesitate. "O-of course...that would be great. See you then." I sit and furiously fill in the scantron bubbles.
