    First period economics, I kind of like though. Let's just say it grew on me .

Studying business administration and major in finance, not sure yet,  but I do plan on starting Up mine and making a name for myself ,... So people will not just see me as Mr Knight's  son . Maybe then he will acknowledge me.

   Not really sure what my dad's issue is with me though, like I honestly try my best. Not saying I am very good, but I pull my weight.
"Class turn your textbooks to chapter 6, we will be discussing today market, maximizers and efficiency" teacher Mrs Janet shout out.

" So how can you efficiently maximize a particular product in an efficient way that brings out results when the consumers starts drifting to another product" Mrs janeth asked this question that got me thinking.

"Anyone that answers this tomorrow gets to skip the assignment that is going to be 15% of your grade" she said, okay this is my moment to get ahead, plus this question is not that hard anyways.

So I answered, "you have got to know your market and what it offers, then your consumers or say customers." I answered.

  " And how can you achieve this ?"
Pass out surveys to customers or consumers find out what they want and implement it to your product and marketing" I further explained.

" Very good Mr knight, keep this up and you will definitely earn an A " let's keep going class she said. What a nice way to start the school year.
 
   So first period was a breeze so as the other two . Next is English , I have this class with Julia . Perfect maybe I can get to sit beside her.  Rushing to class, I want to avoid being late and I know she will be there, that girl hates being tardy.
   
   Entering the class seeing Julia already sited, her head in her novel, did I mention she loves to read. Typical won't expect anything less . Then I sport an unfamiliar face sited beside her . That must be the new kid Justin talked about . What is he doing here? Why his he sites next to her. Maybe this is just in my head . Don't let me overthink and get paranoid.

   I ahead to the next sit beside her. " "Hellooooo , how has classes been treating you so far? " I asked her , she turns around staring right into my eyes and smiled . Does she even realize what she does to me.
 
   "Hi Styles, so far it has been good " she replied with a smile still on her face .
  
The teacher walks in "good day class " so it Mr Ian taking this class I was hoping for Mr Peters. Oh well.

"So pair up into groups of  twos or pair you up myself. We going to be having a debate between various groups " he explained.

"  So this is going to be part of your continuous assessment , so take this seriously " he said .
"I will be waiting for list of 8 groups after the class" he said with that frown never leaving his face.
 
   "So Julia, are we doing this together or you rather do it with someone else "  I said really hoping to get a yes from her, because this will be my chance to finally get close to her.
  
     "Yeah, sure who else will i do this with" she said with a smile.
"Me, she can also this with me" I heard a voice say" my that is the new kid , really right at this moment I knew the new kid is the new kid is definitely going to be trouble.

   "I think I will stick to Styles " this statement she just made will probably be the highlight of this week.

"Since you are turning me down, can I  at least get to know your name ?" He said, wait did I just see him smirk

" Ooh right, I am Julia and this is my friend Justin, what's your name  ?"she asked, she is just too nice for her good.

" Alister , Alister Hayes" he replied with a smile. "I  have heard my mum mention that name before Hayes if I am being specific, probably nothing .

    "Nice meeting you" she says " I will like to return back to my class now if you guys don't mind" Mr  Ian shouts to the class.
 
   Period passes slower than expected, I want to ask Julia to have lunch with me so bad. Like my prayers has just been answered the bell rings

   " Hey Julia, want to grab lunch ?"  "Yeah sure" thankfully she did not turn me down .

  So are you interested in the fruit parfait or hamburgers  I asked as we head to the food court

"Hamburgers please, Mana loves her beef!" she says, did I just hear her right! Did she just refer her self to mama. Note to self , call her that one if these  days and the fact that she loves meat . 

  "Okay, I will be right, back" I say to her. "Ooh and get fries with that please" she says with a smile, how can I say no to that smile, or  to that  face . This girl is going to be the end of me.

   "Sure, any drink. Coke will do or any soda" she said .

  
" Your food mademoiselle "  I said dropping the food on the table
" You got the same thing?" She asked with a surprised look on her face .

" Yeah, after seeing the burger I could not just resist any longer. It was like it was calling my name " I replied laughing

  " So you could not get mine "  Justin says which shocked me because I did not see him heading over here. My subconscious mind says " how could you when you were busy staring at his twin sister .

  " Hi , Justin " Julia response "why did you not get it, when you were heading over here ? " Julia asks "

"No reason, I will just ask one of the freshman to help me with that" he says .

" Seriously Justin I will not be having any of this,  go get it yourself?" She said with an authoritative voice

" Yes, mam" he says and we all burst into laughter. " I will be right back" he says leaving me and Julia alone again.

" So how was the break?                Justin said you travelled. " I Asked , curious to know more.

" Yeah, I visited my aunt in DC, it has been a while I saw her and my cousin"
" That explains why I did not see you this past two weeks" I said.

  We are in silence until I asked " are you attending the gala?"
"Yeah , sure don't really have a choice" she replied " I know how you feel I guess we are on the same boat"

"So who are you going with ? I asked
"No one yet" she answered
"Great, do you want to" 
" Hey, what are you guys talking about " Justin interrupted.

" Nothing really, just the gala and the past break " ooh okay

We are and chatted and after lunch went to our various classes.
