Freshmen Don't Speak

Chapter 1 // 7am

Going into homeroom I go to my seat. I think people think that since I'm extraverted, I like everyone. No, it just means I talk a lot to my friends. I don't even talk much in school, it's too early for that.

The bell goes off again.

.

..

...

Homeroom is boring as shit. All we do is homework and "Don't bully you guys!!". I hate bullying and all, but I don't think that'll stop bullies.
Thank god it's only like 30 minutes.

.

..

...

Then the bell goes off again.

Everyone leaves in a matter of a second, and so do I, so I can't really judge.

Now it's time for Spanish.

Walking down the hall, I realize.
Spanish is like that one class that you don't hate, but you don't like either.

It's alright I guess

Entering into the room, I go straight to my seat.

More often than not, most of my classes are silent.

I think it's because everyone mutally agrees this class sucks, but not too much.

.

..

...

The bell goes off.

Why does the bell take so long to go off when I enter the classroom, but it goes off so quick when I'm still in the halls running a bit late.

Then someone knocks at the door. I bet it's Tyler, he's late like every fucking day for no reason.

The teacher goes and opens it.

"Tyler you need to stop being late so much," She scolds him, putting her hands on her hips, "I know Ms. Mcconnell," He responds.
"No, you need to get your act together!" She snaps, "This will not fly in college!"
"Yes Ms. Mcconnell, I know," Tyler says, completely monotone.
"Take your seat," She replied.

Tyler walks over to his seat right next to me.

Why is Tyler even in my class, I'm a freshman, he's a junior.

Eh, it's Tyler. He doesn't make sense.

////

The bell goes off after 4th period.

Holy shit yes.

Walking into the cafeteria I'm not the first there, but I'm pretty early.

I sit down at the table and the only people there is Ally and Evelyn, but that doesn't last long because in the next few minutes literally the rest of the group follows.

This includes Tyler.

"Tyler, why are you in my Spanish class?" I ask, "You're a Junior,"

Tyler glances away as if he wants to avoid the question,
"Uhhh," He starts, "I uh-" He chuckles, "I forgot about the foreign language credit you need to graduate until this year so-" He said through laughs.

...

"Uh, anyways," Ally spoke, fumbling through her phone, "I found this really pretty abandoned mall, and I think it would be fun if we explored it tommorow!"

"But don't we have school?" Evelyn asks.

"Tommorows Saturday, Ev," Tyler corrects,

Evelyn stares at Tyler looking disappointed in herself.

...

"Oh,"

////

The rest of lunch went by okay. Ally shared details and we all agreed on a time, noon. Tommorow should be okay.
