The Unbreakable Dancer

Chapter 11

 A Pirates Crew

Tessa POV

I wake up around 9:30 to get ready for my class at 10:30. I go to the bathroom to wash and get ready. Luckily the dorm Camille and I are sharing we have our own bathroom so we don't have to go to the showers.

After I get out of the shower and put on clothes I notice that Camille is long gone. She probably scheduled early morning classes then.

I walk out of my dorm and head to my Psychology 101 class.

After some time walking I found the building where it's located and I found the classroom. I see that some people are already here. I sit toward the front of the near the edge. I pull up my desk and put my laptop, notebook paper, pens, and pencils on top to prepare. After 10 minutes the class fills up and there are only a few seats left, one of them being the one beside me.

An Asian girl comes running in and looks for a spot to sit. I decide to be a good person and motion to her that there's an empty seat beside me.

"Thank you," she says.

"Not a problem," I smile at her. Then a tall black woman in dress pants and a dress shirt with her curly hair in a bun walks in. I'm guessing that's my professor then introduces herself.

"Hey, my name is Dr. Astute and I will be your professor for psychology this year. Today is the first day, so I won't do anything too terrible to you guys, but we will be learning."

She scans the class for a second and continues talking.

"This class won't be all easy. I know this class is the beginning class, but it will take hard work and good time management. I am a pretty reasonable person, but don't take advantage of that. If you have questions about anything in the course ask me or shoot me an E-mail. Okay, any questions?"

"Okay good, for today we'll mostly be talking about what we will learn in this class, the topics we'll discuss, and expectations. You guys are in college now, you're adults. I'm not going to hover over you and tell you to do your work. If you don't do it, you get a zero. That's not being mean, that's just how life is."

Dr. Astute starts talking about what we will see in the course and I feel a tap on my shoulder.

"Hey, I'm sorry to bother you, but do you have a pencil I could borrow?" the girl who sits next to me asks.

"Yeah, here," I hand her a pencil.

"Thanks, I'm Yasmine." she smiles.

"I'm Tessa," I introduce myself.

Maybe this year is off to a good start.

After 2 classes lunch rolls around and I wait for Moose to meet me, so we can go eat together.

"Hey," Camille says. "Where's Moose?"

"I haven't seen him since last night,"

"Oooh, what happened last night?" Camille asks with a smirk. In the couple of days, I have met her she thinks that Moose likes me and we're gonna date someday.

"Not light that, I'm sure he'll tell you about it later."

"Hey Tess," Yasmine shouts at me. "Some friends and I are gonna get lunch, wanna join?"

I wonder for a second, and I know that if I keep waiting for Moose then we'll have no time to eat.

"Yeah, sure. Can I bring Camille?"

"Of course, I love meeting new people."

After lunch, I waved by to Yasmine's friends who were, Andrew, Devan, and Daisy.
