Cutting into half of the class period, not really a great first impression.. Anyway, I love literature so this should be interesting.

"AHH! Welcome!" The teacher called out loudly. "You must be Skylar?" He questioned. I nodded in agreement.

"I'm Mr. Jacobs. Don't worry about the lateness. Take a seat anywhere you want!"

-I scanned the room and saw a seat in the back. I always enjoyed sitting in the back seats for multiple reasons. One being because the teachers always seem to forget about the ones sitting in the back and because if i sit too close, I might hurt my eyes... You know, We do have amazing vision. I shuffled to the back as i felt the eyes of all the students on me as I sat down.

"So, Skylar, Since we barely get new students in this school, we'll take the rest of this class period to introduce all of our selves to you to make it more easier on you, trust me.. I know how it feels going into new surroundings we aren't very familiar with. we are just going around the room and doing a simple introduction of ourselves . So we'll proceed with that!" He said with a bright smile.

"Marissa?.. How about you? Since you looove to talk about yourself, especially during my class period.. let's just start with you to get this going, ha-ha!"

"Yeah, Yeah Mr. Jacobs!!! Ha. Hello, I'm Marissa! I'm on the Cheer squad. I have a Pomeranian named Whiskey, my dad named him.. Isn't that such a cute name?? Let me see if I can find a picture of him on my phone!!!!" She said as she flipped her light brown hair. " oh btw, I'm dating Bradly hes so amaz..."


"OK! He clapped twice. "Marissa that is fascinating information, ill be sure to keep that in mind. I am sure we ALL would. Thank you for sharing" He said with a snicker. "How about we call on someone else...

"Troy, You're up!"

-Troy just sat there.

"Troy? .. Troy?!" He said louder and still no response. "Someone pleaaase get his attenti - wait are those head phones????" Some kid sitting behind troy, kept poking him with his pencil, so finally Troy had enough.

This was the moment when I realized I was going to enjoy literature for sure, First day here and the kids were already ready to start some conflict.

"Man, What the hell is your problem?" Troy said as he turned around and looked the kid in the eye and the kid scoffed and nodded to the front of the class room in the teachers direction.

The teacher explained again about what we were doing.

"Oh ! DAAMMN. Yo, Sorry ya'll, I was just listening to my mix tape, Its fire, Like I mean this shit is nice guys, ya'll got to pick up a copy after class !!!!" He yelled out. "That's all you gotta know about me." He said as he threw his hands up.

"Ooooh MY! " I'll be sure to pick up a copy and listen, Troy. " Mr. Jacobs said as the class started laughing.

-We went through about 6 more student and than I felt Mr. Jacobs eyes land on me.. than I felt all the students waiting patiently for the "new kid" to introduce them-self.

"So, Skylar. Sky.. can I call you that ?" Mr. Jacobs asked.

"Ah, Yeah sure, that's fine" I said.

"Okay. Lets hear about you!" Mr.Jacobs suggested.

-I thought for a second..

What could I possibly tell them ? I was over 300 years old and 18 forever?

"Well, My name is Skylar, I'm a lesbian who is over 300 years old but trapped in a 18 year old body.. Forever! Yup that's it."

so I just told them the only thing i could. A lie.
