Science with the Septic Eye

You opened the door quickly, worrying you would've been late if you didn't. The hallways got quiet, meaning many people were in their class. "Hey!" The man at the desk spoke. "...hello." You said quietly to him. "Mr. McLoughlin!" He said, holding his hand out. You took his hand and shook it. "Alexis." You said, shaking his hand. "You can sit over there next to Ethan." He pointed and Ethan  waved. You went over and sat. "Hey! You doing the musical?" A girl across from Ethan  said. "I-I don't know. I got the flyer though!" You took the sheet  out of you pocket and unwrinkled it. "Oh! Fiddler on the Roof! That'll be fun." She said. "You've seen it?" You questioned. "Seen it? Ha! I've been in it. Twice!" "Where have you been to do it twice?" You said, excited.  "Maryland, Texas, New York. I've been around." She said, acting cool. You stared at her. "Oh!" She noticed you. "Serena!" She said waving quickly. "And this is Aidan." "A lefty?!" He was writing. "Huh? Oh yea." He said quietly, giving a thumbs up with his left hand. "Hey! So did you hear about the talent show?" Ethan turned and said. "N-No, and I don't think I have what it takes." You replied, looking down. "It's okay, I was just asking." He said, looking solemn as he placed his hand on your shoulder. "So where did you-" "Top 'o the mornin' to ye class! I'm Mr. McLoughlin, and I'm only sayin' that because I see we have a new student." He said, standing in the front of the SmartBoard, as he wrote your  name on the board. You blushed and  ducked your head into your hands. "Aw!" You said quietly, hoping no one would hear. You inhaled then deeply exhaled. You got up and walked over to Mr. McLoughlin. 'He's so tall!' You thought to yourself. "Class, this is Alexis. Go ahead, say 'hi!' " You blushed as he said it. '"Go ahead!"' Replayed over and over in your head. "H-Hi, I'm so happy to be in this class with all of you nice people!" You said, as you looked at Ethan, blushing as you did. He was giving you two thumbs up. You did good. 

Later, Mr. McLoughlin said that you could all utilize the time for your needs. So, you walked over to table full of girls." H-" "Go away. You aren't welcome here, none of us know you." In your head you knew you had to keep going. In your heart, you had just died.
