Life In High School

7

I was chatting and playing with my friends when a fierce looking man entered our class.

That fierce looking man happens to be the director of my school and my Chemistry class teacher.

Mr.Murray.

I just stared at him and watched him stare at us.

Why won't he talk?

Why am I so surprised? He's always like this.

I went back to drawing when I heard someone calling my name.It was Tiffany.

"What?"I asked.

"You have to tell us to stand up"She whispered.

"Why?"I asked.

"Just say it"

Why?Is it my duty to do that?

I'm the monitor for God's sake.

I'm the mo-

Right! Right!I have to tell them to stand up.

What a freak I am.

"Stand up and greet the teacher!"I exclaimed.

"Why the late response, monitor?"

"N-no-nothing"I stammered.

"Don't repeat such or I'll have your class suffer for it"He said sternly.

"Yes,sir"I said as I took my seat.

Weird.

I looked at Tyrell,he was looking at me as if he just got cured of HIV.

Didn't mean to say that but I hate him.

Why does he look so relieved...was he scared that I might be in trouble?

Why should he be scared?I hate him...he hates me...we both understand each other.

I just rolled my eyes and thought of another thing.

"You wanted to see me?"I asked as I approached Mr.Henry.

"Yes, Tracy...now that you're a monitor... you're responsible for your class...do all you can to protect its name... every Friday, there are to be articles on the blackboard newspaper...this is the key to the classroom...every morning, you're to open the door... you're to gather all the homeworks and bring them to my table by break... ensure that your class is always neat and tidy,I noticed that two students were absent from school the day we resumed... please I need you to get them back to school... here are their addresses...I suggest you team up with Tyrell"

Mind blowing.

Team up with Tyrell?

I've not even gotten all that he said and he's asking me to team up with my enemy.

So funny

Ah!Ah!

"Mr.Henry...with all due respect-"

"I know you would do a great job"He said and left.

What an unmotivational speech.

I hate speeches.

Aghhh!

I walked back to class feeling annoyed.i hit Tyrell's table and just like I expected...he looked up and glared at me.I glared at him back.

"I'm busy"He said and went back to studying.

Does he ever get tired of studying?

I don't think so.

"I just came back from Mr.Henry's office and he unexpectedly, told us to pair up and get two students to get back to school"

"We can talk about that later, I'm busy"He said still looking at his textbook.
