Broken, Beyond Repair

~Chapter 13~

I went off to Language Arts. Bleh. As I walked into the room, Mrs. Chambers glared at me and spoke.

Mrs. Chambers: "Jennifer, your late."

Me: "Sorry.." I mumble under my breath.

My binder was lined up with the ones who belonged to the people who were absent. So I grabbed mine and sat in my assigned seat.

Mrs. Chambers: "Okay class. Today we're going to start learning about the myth of Prometheus." She was shuffling through her papers.

Jared: "Uh, miss? Didn't we already learn about that?" He raised his hand.

Mrs. Chambers: "Excuse me, I didn't call on you, did I?" What an attitude she has this morning..

Jared: "Sorry."

Ms. Kelley: "We're starting a new study. Instead of learning about Ancient Egypt, we're moving on to learning about Ancient India. So today your going to be reading from a text about it, and later in this period, we're going to construct a map of Ancient India."

Me: "Excuse me, Ms. Kelley?" I raise my hand. "Does the map have to be labeled?"

Ms. Kelley: "Well it's a map, of course it has to be labeled." Okay, it was a yes or no question. Jesus. "Anyway, you guys have the text already on your desks from my last class. And your going to have a test about this on Friday, so start reading silently please."

Yay, lunch time! I headed to my locker to put my stuff away. Once I did that, I shut my locker and sped off to the lunch room.

I went toward the back table where I usually sit with Jack. I didn't bring lunch because I hate when it's cold, and I didn't wanna buy lunch because cafeteria food is just dangerous.

Jack: "Hey babe!" He smiles and sits down with no lunch either.

Me: "Hey." I smile back.

Jack: "So, how were the first two academics?"

Me: "Boring but okay. You?"

Jack: "They were fine, but yeah, boring."

Me: "Ahh, that sucks."

Jack: "Yep, but anyways, we're doing a project in math. Just letting you know."

Me: "Ugh, are you fucking shitting me?" I groan.

Jack: "Yeah."

Me: "In math?"

Jack: "Yep, I know right. I said the same thing." He rolls his eyes.

Me: "About?"

Jack: "Well you have a partner, and we have to do this whole presentation in front of the class. It has to be a report that has to do with engineering."

Me: "Oh my fucking God."

Jack: "I feel the same way.."
