"Okay," Cat says getting up, as Strea pulls her back down in the chair "Look I don't see your name on it so how about you move and find another seat or better yet get to class on time," I say annoyed.
"Damn chill it's not that serious," Elijah says "Right chill we'll find somewhere else to sit," Keola says. "All right every one my name is Mr. Finstock for the new faces, and Mr. Robinson for the last time your not in this class this period so please head to your class your already 4 minutes late" as he gets up leaving "Okay new student stand up and tell us who you are," he says, standing up "My name's Astrea Fayre and I moved here from Florida 3 weeks ago, nice to meet you all," she says sitting down.
"Alright since this is English class and we've read lot's of Shakespeare's books, we're going to go around the class and show of hands what types of Shakespeare's books we enjoyed and I'll tell you what we will do with that information, oh almost forgot new girl you don't have to participate if you don't know any books. As everyone shares their favorite book "Okay miss Gembira what is your favorite book?" Mr. Finstock asks "Uh it's Hamlet," She says "Oh I like that one to no one ever chooses Hamlet, is there a reason you chose it?" He asks curiously "No not really, I just like the book that's all," she says shrugging.
"Okay, alright miss Manaia, what is your favorite Shakespeare book?" he asks "Hmm, I think I will go with Hamlet as well," Cat says "Interesting, why?" he says leaning on his desk "Because I understand him, maybe not in the sense that my uncle would kill my father but the point as to why he was so angry," she says proudly "Good answer, alright miss Fayre we can skip you if you would like?" he says with a raised eyebrow. "No, I read Shakespeare personally," I say nonchalantly "Really? wow," he says surprised "Well what's your favorite book?" he asks "I like Hamlet better".
"Lot's of Hamlet readers today? why?" he says interested "Because just like Catalina I understand him, I can see why he was upset and angry. I understand his reasons for doing the things he did" I say seriously "Wow is today the day for everyone to be deep" he says making the class laugh. "Alright for each different book I want everyone to get in groups of 3, so no groups of 4 or 5 miss Pierce," he says.
