Through Her Eyes

Chapter 1:

It always seemed so difficult to get through first period. Like who in the heck made classes two hours long going over the same thing. " Kimmy Grey!" It was Ms bowman getting on my case about the dazed look in my eyes as if i would fall into a deep sleep any moment. "Yes ms Bowman", I answered her with such attitude. "I understand its your junior year and you want to get out of here soon. But you will have to be more attentive than just staring at me to pass my class!" I didn't understand her. In the beginning she claimed I had to be cheating because there was no possible way to have passed the first semester and not pick up a book. So I started looking at the board making sure she saw my eyes follow along . I mean the class wasn't that hard. Art was my strong point. I could make a master piece out of anything. So i didn't understand why my principle felt the need to put me in a understudy class. "Ms Bowman no offense even though I know you will. Principal McNeil only put me in here to better your work performance. I studied all this that you teach in the sixth grade. My GPA is a 4.0 so believe me when i tell you i don't need your class you need me." I had been holding that speech in for so long and by the look on her face she was furious. "Well you can take this conversation up with Principal McNeil himself! Get out Now!"

This was gonna be the longest walk to his office ever. He already had warned me about blurting out thoughts in my head to this lady once before. So I knew this wasn't going to go well. I walked up to the familiar desk I had seen at least five times this week because of Ms. Bowman. I thought to myself maybe i should just skip her class but I knew someone but rat me out the moment my desk became empty. The receptionist by the name of Tiffany looked at me with the same look as always." Go ahead in Kim. Mr. McNeil is waiting", she said with such disappointment. I walked into his office and sat in front of his desk. He turned from his famous window which looked over the front of the school. He took a deep breath as if to announce something very important. "Ms Grey why did you have to expose me! Now I tell you things because I like and trust you,he said in a very amusing laughter. I can't keep covering for you and saying i'm giving you disciplinary actions and you turn around and disappoint."

This was very shocking to me. I mean he was my favorite person in the whole school,but I was sure I was gonna get the boot this time. "James i swear it's like she hates me or something. I do every assignment while making A's with little or no help I could teach her class. She's jealous of my skills. I should have a 100 in her class but yet she insist on giving me a 90. If you want me to quit coming in this office please move me to a classroom that will actually challenge", I begging him. " Look she can't be that bad. If you can survive her until the end of this semester I will see about putting you into Mr. Bruce class. Now no more insults to injury OK." He was such a great principal but a pain in my behind when it came to making his school look good. I knew the real reason behind my existence in Ms Bowman's class. It was almost time for next period so i made my visit very short and quick. "Okay i will try extremely hard to work with her and not end up in here."

I left the office putting on a show to everyone who walked by asking questions about my visit back to the principal. The truth was everyone knew my name and every action I did was being watched by my peers. I only had two friends that I had known since elementary. Kassie Pointer and Jermery Henry . As always they were waiting at my locker to get the scoop on my talk with Mr. McNeil. Kassie was always the one to get in my face about my behavior. She was kind of a mother figure or nurture in the group. " yo you gotta quit making that hag so angry. You know she is just jealous of how cool you are. Its not our fault that she looks like she belongs in the circus", she scolded me. " I know Kas. It's just so annoying to even be in that class anymore. I literally hate her at this point. She's made this new way to grade people based on behavior in class. She swears i'm a douche so i'm failing her class based on one stupid grade." Jermery wrapped his arm around my neck saying," look she's such a prune who hates people who tries to take over her territory so just quit stepping on her toes and be a nice little kitty"
