Who loves math?
If the answer to the this question is yes, you should admit yourself to the nearest asylum.
Just kidding.
But seriously.
Ariel sat in the 2nd row of her Geometry Honors class. The teacher, Mr. Archimedes, was covered in chalk dust. He remained the only teacher in the school to still write on chalk boards. His brown hair was like ruffled feathers, and his eyes were so large he looked like... an owl.
Ariel smiled.
It was a game she had play when she was in middle school seemed so babyish now, but she was in geometry honors.... or geometry goners as Attina had called it when she was younger.
She looked to her left.
Repunzel. Her hair fell down her shoulders in a waterfall of gold. Her eyes were green and large.
A bunny.
Belle.
Brown hair in a ponytail. Jeans and scarf. lots of blue.
A bluebird.
Pocahontas.
So proud. Her black hair was long and thick. Her expression was that of...
A wolf.
"And Ariel..." she heard a teacher say," what is the value of the added angles of a triangle.
"230? I mean 360. It's 360, right?" Ariel said and made it clear as day she wasn't paying attention.
She heard if few snickers in the back of the classroom. There couldn't have been worse timing, but Ariel flopped.
She didn't know why or how it happened, but she spazzed and found herself on the floor. Her chair fell out from under her, and made a loud BANG.
Great, she thought.
"Are you okay?" a girl who Ariel was pretty sure was Wendy, asked.
Although Wendy had been kind, everyone else laughed.
"You pulled a Bozo!" one kid shouted.
Mr. Archimedes looked at the scene, but did not intervene. He was like a biologist studying a pack of lions attack a gazelle. He could only watch the circle of life. His job was to study. Anything that he disturbed would create disorder in the high school animal kingdom
Ariel winced as she got to her feet.
"Sorry," she said to Mr. Archimedes.
"Perfectly all right, child," he said, sympathetically.
"All right, for homework," Mr. Archimedes, but the he said the H word, there were sighs and moans.
Ariel herself was barely paying attention. She subtly put her hand in her pocket and took out her phone.
She began scrolling though the post and when she saw one about her swim team she smiled.
Are team did great at meet #bettertimes #dragons #arielisafish
If that's what she was, she couldn't change it. She was the awkward clumsy girl. The one no one even noticed until she made a mistake.
. . . Or could she
She looked up from her phone at the desk and said,"I'm not a fish."
I cannot express in the human language how sorry I am. I'm in 7th grade now and our teachers are giving us a TRUCKLOAD Of homework. Plus, I have basketball.
Btw, please wish me luck on my tournament this week. the championship is tomorrow, and I'm really excited.
