My Very First

C1:I want to be free

"May I please have your attention" said Sarah, Diamond High's bully who's allowed to do whatsoever because her parents are the school's biggest donors.

Everyone stopped their babbling and all eyes in class were on her.

"As you may know, my sweet 16 is coming up sooooo......daddy has landed me his cruise. Which means....." Everyone except me shouted ".... Sweet 16 on a cruise!!"

Giggling "Yaaas, u know it, so I'll be handing out invitations all week. If you don't get one it's not a mistake, it just means you're lame."

Ugh stupid Sarah. Who says I want to spend my Saturday on her stupid cruise. "That's all amateurs!"

As she took her seat, everyone was talking on how to earn an invite.

I know what I'll do" squealed my best and only true friend Brianna. "What, you wanna go?!" I asked surprised. I thought we equally disliked that brat.

"Of course I do,don't get me wrong Kayla, it's just that senior year is almost over and I wanna do something exciting with my life before it's over."

Wow, did she just indirectly say spending time with me was boring. Anyway Sarah bullied us with every breath she got.

As if reading my thoughts Brianna said "I know she's a brat but I wanna spend a day on a cruise especially if it's for free. I don't like her Kayla but I do like cruises." she grinned. You have got to be kidding me.

"You've never even been on one," I state. "But I've watched Titanic 15 times to know it's amazing plus imagine all the views I'd get if I posted pics on a freaking cruise."

I couldn't believe all this was coming out of my Bri's mouth. Just as I was about to answer, I was interrupted by Ms Timmies.

"Top of the morning class!" she greeted. The best teacher in the world. She was so positive about life and had this thing of lighting up every room she entered. Everyone loved Ms Timmies except Sarah of course.

"Top of the morning Ms T" the class responded. "You all look beautiful as always!" she exclaimed.

"You look like a daisy Ms T" said Wayne, the school's classic heartthrob. "Oh stop, you'll make me blush and then all the girls in Diamond High will seek my heart" answered Ms T while dramatically touching her chest. Everyone laughed.

"Oh no Ms T, I'll protect you" said Andrew. He was Wayne's best friend and Sarah's boyfriend. Honestly I don't get how because Andrew was nice, atleast way better than Sarah.

"Who'll protect me then?" intervened Sarah whilst giving Andrew a bombastic side eye.

"Settle down children"
Whew! Right on time Ms T. Crisis averted.

"Since this year marks the end of junior year, we'll start off by discussing your dream occupations and how you plan to achieve them.

And so it began. People started explaining what they wanted to do with their lives. "What do you want to be Brianna?" asked Me T. "I want to be an influencer Ms T. Travel the world and be featured in all the latest events : galas, award shows etcetera and use some of my money and influence to help poor children around the globe.

Sarah scoffed. "Is something stuck in your throat Sarah?" asked Ms T with a hint of sarcasm and annoyance. "Oh no, Ms Timmies. It's just that as an influencer as in an actual one, I know what it takes to be famous and I just can't help but notice that Brianna doesn't even look like she has what is takes. And don't get me started on all that 'help poor children around the world'.......she said mockingly. " But I don't blame her, it takes one to know one right?" She and her minions laughed.

"Lol Sarah, have u ever heard that a king doesn't give birth to a princess? Just remember that while you still have that silver spoon with you" I butted in. Who on earth does she think she is? Queen of the globe?

"Well since you know so much your highness, what do you want to do with your influence life Sarah? asked Ms T with a little sternness and sarcasm in her voice.

"I thought you'd never ask Ms Timmies..... -

...."you thought wrong" butted in Andrew. The class chuckled and Sarah's eyes bolted with flames. Heavy chuckle - "I am going to start my own cosmetics company, something like Kylie Jenner but so much bigger and daddy's going to be my sponsor." It's always 'daddy' with her.

"Wow such an impressive dream Sarah, when it works out, you'll be lucky enough to have Brianna as an influence for your cosmetics company. Girl power indeed!!"

Oh did I forget to mention another of Ms T's superpower; humbling Sarah...and any other bully of course. I snorted earning an evil glance from Sarah _ whateves.

"Mikayla, you're next flower blossom" Between you and I, I really think I'm Ms T's favourite. "Thank you Ms T. I want to be free." The class chuckled.

"Honestly, I'm not fond of a 9-5, I just want to do what makes me happy; painting -art and earn an income through my passion."The class clapped. "Wow Mikayla thanks for your honesty, hope your dreams get fulfilled." responded Ms T.

"Now,my soldier, what do you want to be other than protecting me from high school girls?" The class laughed.

Honestly, Ms T's classes were never dull and we always had the best time. "To share a secret Ms T, I'm not sure. My father wants me to take over their real estate company when all I'm interested in is law. I've told my father I'm interested in law and he said he won't fund me. So, I'm basically unemployed Ms T."

"You'll make me cry Andrew. Don't worry everything will work out and if it doesn't, you're employed as my bodyguard." Lol Ms T breaks the ice again.

"Now, with only 5 minutes to spare, Wayne will expose us to his career and you all will write an essay of an occupation you don't like and submit it first thing on Thursday. PS it contributes to your first semester report." The class wailed.

"Wayne, the stage is yours." Ms T said and all eyes fell on Wayne.

"Well, if I was to ask I know most of you would say- no I bet you'll think I'll say swimming whereas that's not the case." The class went silent. To those who weren't listening, they began to. Wayne was the best swim athlete Diamond High had.

"I want to pursue a career in writing as an author. I guess I want to be free too" he said looking in my eyes. Oooooh, the class exclaimed. My cheeks warmed up and I looked down embarrassed. "Mhhh, interesting Wayne." said Ms T. The bell rang for our second class.
