" addison charles?" My english teacher asks as he takes attendance. I put my hand up and he nods as acknowledgment. I inwardly sigh. School days were so long...

" ok so today i just want to see where we're at since its the first day back. So i just want you to write your thoughts out in about a page or so and its due at the end of this class." Mr. Green adresses the class. A few nods and grumbles are noticed as we all get to work.

Everybody talks too much I start.
Nobody simply just list-

I drop my pencil like many others as the door slams at the front of the classroom. A ruffled looking joel stands infront while he struggles to gather all his stuff in his hands. Mr. green looks up from his desk and glares at joel expectantly.

" sorry im late. Im new and i got lost." Joel explains. Mr.green nods and gestures towards the desks, implying to find a seat. joel scans the desks and i look down. I continue writting as a black binder plops on the desk beside me. I keep my head down but he taps my shoulder. I look up.

" what are we doing?" He whispers. I dont say anything obviously... Hense the mute thing... He looks at me, waiting for an answer. I dont give him one, i simply turn back to my work.

Life is alot more interesting when you are just a shadow in the back. You learn so much more when you dont exist

I feel another tap on my shoulder. Joel looks at me.

" what did i do to you? Im sorry for whatever it is but please can you tell me what to do? I dont want to fail." He says with pleading eyes. Again, i dont respond. A blond girl named Hannah taps him on the back and says;

" she doesn't talk. Shes a bit of a freak so dont waste your time with her. Here let me show you what to do..." he turns to her as she bends down to expose cleavage. I roll my eyes. Hannah was the stereotypical queen bee. Head cheerleader. Supposedly hot. Slutty. Smart. Bitchy. But honestly i dont care. Ive got dirt on her that could break her reputation in seconds. Ive got dirt on everybody. Except for joel. But all in time.
