Iyahna's P.O.V.
I sat in Media Immersion class, when Mr. Simpson finished up the lesson for the day.
"Alright, guys, don't forget there's a dance for grade 8 and 9 next Friday. Okay? Remember the theme is 80s", Mr. Simpson announced.
"I love the 80s! It's when people really had their own style", I said, turning in my seat towards Ashley.
"You have any idea who you're going to be?" Ashley quizzed.
"Tina Turner", I said casually. "What about you?"
"I figured I would come up with my only little 80s outfit", Ashley replied.
"Sounds legit", I said, standing up, and collecting my books.
"Yup", Ashley nodded.
"Wait, aren't you on the school committee?" I asked, as we both exited the room.
"Yeah. Why?" Ashley raised an eyebrow.
"Well, I was in the school committee back at my old school, and I know the hard work that's put into the dances and such", I said. "And I was wondering how do I join?"
"Well, you'll have to talk to Raditch about that. Also, I'd love to have you join us", Ashley beamed at me.
"Aww. Thanks", I stated.
Ivan came out of nowhere, and cut in between the both of us. "Hi Ashley", Ivan greeted with a hearty smile.
"Hey Ivan", Ashley greeted back.
"So, um, what are you going as for the 80s themed dance", Ivan asked.
I rolled my eyes at Ivan failing to acknowledge my presence.
"Just going as my own thing", Ashley answered.
I already knew what Ivan was going as. The man who he worships the ground for, or rather the cloud he floats on.
"Cool. I'm going as Bob Marley", Ivan replied.
"Are you a big fan?" Ashley asked.
"Big is an understatement. I grew up with this legend around my household. I have a poster of him in my room and everything", Ivan ranted.
"Bob Marley isn't really an 80s artist", I chimed in. "Hate to steal your thunder."
Ashley chuckled. "I'll have the dance committee reserve a song just for you. See you guys later."
Ivan and I walked to my locker. I opened it, and installed my books in there.
"Bob Marley, huh? How did I know you were going to be him", I sighed, shutting my locker door. "Bob Marley isn't even the best in the dancehall game."
"Oh, yeah, who is then?" Ivan challenged.
"Mr. Vegas, for sure", I replied.
"Yeah right. You only say that, because you have a huge crush on him", Ivan retorted.
We both walked to Ms. Kwan's class and entered in. I took my seat in the back of the room, as Ms. Kwan was speaking.
"Now, I want to talk to you about oxymorons in writing. An oxymoron is a group of words that contradict each other. For example, original copy, deafening silence, old news. These are all phrases that contradict each other", Ms. Kwan walked back and forth in the front.
Spinner raised his hand. I knew some bull was going to come flying out of his mouth, because of the smirk that fitted his face.
"Go ahead, Spinner", Ms. Kwan nodded.
