Just don't take everything

Class and Glass. 1

For the life of me, I can't figure out why my Sister-in-law gave us an English assignment to do over our four day weekend. It's like she enjoys destroying the will of her college students! The look of pure horror on everybody's face, I know that sadistic chic is just eating it up. Ughhh.

"Alright class! No amount of grunts and groans will change the outcome of y'all's circumstance. Your essays on 'how does nothingness affect your life' will be due at the beginning of my class on Tuesday." She mentioned, surveying the room with playful predator eyes.

"Those of y'all kind souls that plan on turning in an assignment for me to do, can be merrily on your way to detention with Ms. Alfred. Am I made clear??" She said with a stern look in her eye, her stance slightly shifting to her left foot, with her arms crossed.

You know for someone who looked so nice and innocent, she surely scares the hell out of me sometimes! "Yes, Mrs. Blanchard!" My classmates recited in union.

One thing y'all can get clear. No one wanted to sit in a room with Ms. Alfred who had us scrub bathrooms clean with toothbrushes. She really loved making us do grunt work. But all together that evil old women just did everything slow, and deliberately would test your patience.

It makes you think she was ex-military. But you know, she never shared those details. She could've been the perfect drill sergeant for all we know!!

"Hey! Helloooo, Harbor! Earth to Harboorrrr" My friend Emmett said as he started playing the drums on my desk trying to get my attention, as I obviously had spaced out.

I looked up at Emmett as my dog Tac, decided to make himself known. Sticking his head up on my lap from under my desk, Tac eyed Emmett. Tac is my German Malinois, I convinced my Dads to let me have a guard dog, being they insisted I be escorted everywhere, due to us being a higher classed family.

And it worked out because I kind of needed a service dog anyways for my paralyzing anxiety.

Emmett reached down and carefully scratched Tacs ears due to the fact that he is in "working dog mode" as I call it. But they are good pals so we both trust Tac not to bite Emmett. "What is it you need?" I asked, feigning annoyed.

"Well for your information girlfriend the class has been over for the past five minutes, you would know this if you weren't in Lala Land." He said with a chuckle.

You see, we were so close that the people at our school thought we were dating, so we call each other boyfriend/girlfriend to keep the internal joke alive. I mean even our parents think we would be great together, but we both know we are nothing but the best of friends.

Patting Tac's head I slide out of my seat and grab my book bag, ensuring that I have Tacs leash held loosely in my grip. "Well then let's go dork." I said as I walked past him and towards the door where my sister-in-law Spencer, was waiting on us to exit so she could lock the door.

"Will you be riding with me, or Emmett today Harbor?" She questioned as she locked the door behind Emmett and swiped a couple of her red curls out of her Hazel eyes.

"I will be going with Emmett today, thank you." I said distractedly, trailing behind her in aimless thought.

Of course Emmett had taken this as his time to chime in as he rushed up, and grabbed my hand, making Tac go on alert. "Well if that be the case, where to my BEAUTIFULLLL girlfriend?!" He asked, before swinging me up into his arms.

Only to begin twirling us around, ensuring not to trip over Tac who was trying to stay as close to my side as he could.

"Emmetttttt quiiitttt, people are staring!" I said encased in giggles as my mind started to slip a little.
