Let's Keep It this Way

August 7, 2019

*Alarm clock beeping*
Bzz, bzz, bzz.

- Alice: hmmm, I'm awake.

I look at the clock. It's 7:50... why am I awake so early. I didn't set my alarm for that early. Anyways I'm already awake, might aswell just get ready.
I get up and take a shower, I brush my teeth, put perfume on, and get dressed. I walk downstairs and looks likes my mom left for work already.
I guess I'll just eat waffles this morning. I make my waffles and add some syrup on top. Yum! That was good. Time to get everything ready. I got outside and ride my skate board to school. I open the door to my classroom.

- Alice: good morning Ms Remi!

- Ms. Remi: can you not see I'm talking to nina?

- Alice: oh I'm sorry I wasn't looking...

- Ms. Remi: well look next time... take a seat.

I sit next to alec. Alec looks pale. I ask him what's going on, and he ignores my question. He was writing this note or something. he wont tell me what it is though...

- Ms. Remi: alright everyone, it's time for your presentation.

Presentation?? What presentation!? Oh no... im screwed. mom is gonna be so mad at me! Did alec know about the presentation? Right when I was about to ask him, the teacher calls him up. Did he know? Did he do the presentation? Maybe not if knew he would tell me. So were both screwed. Wait why isnt he moving. The teacher calls him up again. No answer. Is he ok? I touch his leg with mine. He notices. The teacher tells his name angerly. Then he gets up. What was that? Somethings off. He tells everyone he forgot about it and gets detention for the whole week. And sits back down. A few minutes have passed, and the teacher calls me up. I tell her the same thing. Instead of detention, she wants to talk to me after class. What does she want to talk about? I guess I'll find out later. When I sit back down I see a note on my desk. Maybe it's from alec. No, its from.. from ashtray? Oh.

Uhmm...

Discusting. Feel like I just threw up in my mouth. I hope this is over soon. A few hours pass by, and the bell rings. I guess I'm supposed to stay to talk to Ms. Remi, great... everyone leaves, and Ms. Remi sits next to me.

- Ms. Remi: we need to talk about your grades and attendance. Yesterday you were late.

- Alice: I promise it wont happen again miss!

- Ms. Remi: as I was saying...

- Alice: sorry.

Ms. Remi: and today you forgot about your presentation. It was 1/3 of your grade. If your grade gets lower I'm afraid I'm gonna have to contact your parents.

-Alice: oh please domt do that! I'll study harder!

- Ms. Remi: I hope so. You have 2 weeks detention. Have a great day.
