Mr. Right and Mr. Wrong

1

I walk through the empty hallways, my dirty converse tapping the floor and my skater skirt sashaying. I were late on the first day of my junior year.

It's just that I couldn't find the right classroom, plus, I'm wearing contacts and this tiny print on the paper was not working for me. I could've asked someone to help but there was no one around.

There probably is but I'm definitely not one to ask for help.

I knew my way around but this was a new teacher and his class was on the other side of the school; not the side I remembered.

I think my teacher name is..

Mr. Celery.

I think.

Or is that Celestine?

I blink, trying to collect my sight from the thick contacts I had on.

I don't know.

I honestly don't care either.

I reach the other side of the school finally and down the murky hallway, my heart speeding up.

All the lights were off and it look a bit like something from a horror movie.

I look up at the door number and squint a bit.

764

I look down at my schedule to verify if this were the correct room.

Indeed it were.

I open the door and everyone's eyes turned to me, including Mr. Celery.

His glasses sat on the tip of his nose and his receding line overlooked his forehead, making him look a bit bald.

"Look who's going to volunteer on telling us who they are?" He motions for me to come.

I walked over to him, my eyes wide.

"Uhm.... I'm Jenna."

"Say Hi to Jenna, class." He says like this is kindergarten or something.

"Hi Jenna." The class says to me.

My cheeks and ears was on fire and brimming bright red from all the attention on me.

"Tell us a little about yourself Jenna." He says.

I look at the class.

"I-I don't like speaking in front of big groups. And I honestly don't like your name." I say, looking over at Mr. Celery.

The class laughs.

"Looks like we got ourselves a class clown." He says.

"You can sit beside Jake in the back, he will be your science partner for the rest of the year." Mr. Celery or Celestine whispers to me.

I looked to the back where there were an empty seat next to a guy with glasses and a black beanie. I walked to the back where he was and took my seat next to him.
