I wake up to the sound of my mom screaming at me from downstairs. I groan and look at the clock reading 7:45am.
" Oh crap I'm going to be late for school" I say under my breath.
I proceed to get out of bed and put on dark grey sweats and a black hoodie because there's no time to shower. I comb my dirty blonde hair to make it fluffy. I run downstairs and out the door.
" You're not going to eat breakfast" asked My mom standing at the door .
" I have no time, bye I love you" I say out of breath
" love you too" said my mom.
I run to school sweating and panting. I enter the doors with the rest of my school and head to homeroom. I sit at the back so no one can see that I'm sweating. Once all the seats are taken our teacher stands up and introduces herself.
" Hey I'm your homeroom teacher you can call me Mrs. Thomas or Mrs. T and my pronouns are she/her. So let's go around the room and introduce ourselves by saying our name and a fun fact about ourselves" says Mrs. T in the most kind way.
She starts with the right corner where Gianna is sitting. I know her, she used to be my best friends girlfriend. The introduction goes down the rows till it gets to me.
" Hi my name is Cam short for Cameron and I play Football" I say nervously.
" Do you prefer us to call you Cam over Cameron?" Mrs. Thomas asks.
" Yes" i say.
I don't actually care what people call me but I say yes to avoid talking. The last few people talk and then the spotlight goes back to Mrs. T.
" Im not going to make you do work for the last 20 minutes so talk amongst yourself" says Mrs.T.
I immediately look at the clock and she's right only 20 more minutes. A smile forms on my face , I look to my left and right looking for Ryan. Ryan's my best friend since the summer of grade 1. We do everything together, we play football together, we hang out together, we even written our drivers test together. But since he's dated Gianna we kinda drifted off.
I see him two rows to the right in the middle. I get up and talk to him.
" Hey man, it's been awhile" I say.
" Yea I know I missed you" Ryan says.
" Me too, so how've you been?" I ask.
" Actually really good, you?" he says.
" I'm ok just dealing with shit but I'm all good" I say.
We talk about football for awhile then the bell rings.
" yes so see you later?" Ryan says.
" for sure bye" I say.
I head to my next class geography. I walk out of the room into the hallway full of kids. Rushing around I see Anne one of my good friends. We always used to hangout. We'd laugh, watch movies, we'd read and even go on trips together. I find it difficult to find the class but I eventually get there. I sit down in the seat next to Anne. A strange man walks in and begins speaking.
" Goodmorning, let me get straight to the point. I'm your geography teacher
Mr. Carl and you are the students you respect me when I'm speaking. Got it?" Asked Mr. Carl.
" Got it" I say exhaustedly.
" Now let get our textbooks out and open to page 43" he says firmly.
I open my geography book to page 43. Micheal raises his hand offering to read the first paragraph. He begins to read and at that point I'm in a whole mother universe not listening to anyone. I trace the dent on my desk with a dull pencil. I zone back in and all I hear is.
" its features, its inhabitants and the phenomena surrounding the ear-"
A loud bang which sounds like a gunshot goes off.
