"Conrad, wake up or you're gonna be late again!" Ma said, shaking me out of my sleep. I got up grudgingly and headed to the bathroom; showering faster than ever, brushing my teeth, and fixing up my hair. I slipped on a random pair of khakis, along with a hoodie and my Blazer and went out to the car. "Son, you have got to do better, you know I cant keep being late" Ma said, backing out of the driveway. "I know Ma, I know" I said looking out the window.

Pulling into the school, I was not ready for the day to come. I walked was immediately bombarded by loud voices and rushed scurries in the halls. I wasn't going to get through this day sober, so I popped the two pills I had stolen from the medicine cabinet earlier. I walked up to retrieve my schedule and headed to the one class I dreaded going to, Precalc.

"Conrad. CONRAD." I heard Mr. McCallahan yelling as I started to wake up. This was the worst class ever, and made absolutely no sense. "Who is your partner?" He said, as everyone looked at me. "I don't know man, stick me with wh-" I started to say as the door opened and in waked the girl I'd come to hate. "Ah! And there she is!" My teacher said "Students! Please give a warm welcome our exchange student, Marietta Francioni". The class uttered slight mumbles as she walked down the aisle and sat in the only available seat, in front of me. "Well, back to our regularly scheduled business. Marietta, how about you work with Conrad? I've been told you're a very special student" McCallahan said, turning his attention to the board.

Great, just great. Stuck with the new girl.
