What Now?

"Esmeralda why army you listening to me?" my English tealcher, Mr.Harold rattles on.

"Because I allready know this stuff. You know I know this!"

"But that gives you no right..."

"Okay, just continue with the subject please."

He scowls at me before getting on with the subject. people in the class send me high fives and smiles when his back is turned. I smile back at people and then I finish the rest of my homework. I know hes going to want to talk to me about my behavior but I'm willing to do that. The rest of class I just walk around and help people with the homework and dumb downwhat he said so that people understand it more. When the bell rings he stares at me and I shake my head leaving the class room.

"I swear its like your always getting in trouble in that class," my friend Carlos walks next to me.

"I get in trouble with all of my teachers that give me c's."

"Which is just him. Dude what are you doing this weekend?"

"What did we do last weekend?"

"Nothing."

"Yeah that's what I'm doing."

"No your going to come to Cole's party with me tonight." If Carlos would have asked any other girl, they might have creamed their panties. But I don't think Carlos is really all that hot stuff. He is really number 5 on my list of guys id go out with. the first four being anybody but him.

"If that's how the cookie crumbles. Be at my house by 6."

"Why so early?"

"Today is Friday which means Mexican food for free! How'd you forget!" I hit him on the arm.

"I was thinking about something else. I'll see you then!" he smiles and walks away.

"Why aren't those two together already! they were made to be each others." a girl says to her friend.

"Stop being so melodramatic girl!" I sigh and walk into my classroom.

Wits empty except for the fact that I am there with a lot oat my friends. have of them don't even take this class and the others are just here to talk to me. When the actual class people come in all my friends have to go. The class starts oqff really boring and everyone is nearly asleep. I raise myhand and wait for Mr.PETERSON too call on me.

"Yes?" He asks.

"Listen here sir. I love this class and I follow your teachings but not everyone in here can keep up. You need to make it more fun or entertaining or interactive. Something because people are falling asleep left and right!" I point to a boy knocked out.

"I see your point. Class, everybody get up. Were about to be interactive!" Mr.Peterson smiles at me.

The rest of class is kind of fun as he makes us do activities and telling us the results they've had on our bodies. Everybody is talking about it as they walk out of class and I high five Mr.Peterson, who's smiling at me. I walk out to my locker and the two people I'd rather not see are there. My two old best friends, Steven and Bianca, are standing a few feet away from my locker at one of theirs. I put my nose in the air and flip my long blond hair before I strut to my locker. Bianca and I make eye contact but I break it after I scowl at her. I open my locker and put all my books up not taking one glance at them both. My best friends, Julie and Diana, walk up to my locker smiling at me. I close my locker and smile back at the blonds, flipping my hair.

"Hey Esmeralda!" They squeak.

"Hey Julie and Diana. Ready to go to this dumb gym class?" I wave my hands in the air.
