It was finally lunch time. I remembered what I told Amber, so I quickly got my lunch tray and found Amber waiting for me by the door. "Hurry up" she said, obviously ready to go. We went out of the cafeteria and quickly went up the stairs. We walked to the end of the hallway and entered a classroom. It was pretty quiet, other than light conversation, so the suddenly noise of the heavy door opening made everyone turn their heads.
Sitting at some of the desk were Emily, Loralee, and Jenika. There were a couple of scattered hey's here and there as they saw me. Jenika looked dead at me. "Hi" she said. "Hey" I said casually. We had been on okay terms lately, so we could have a pretty good conversation.
I looked over at the main desk in the front of the class. I assumed the man sitting there was Mr. Houpt. The teacher had extremely pale skin, curly black hair, thin glasses, and was super tall. He looked like he was in his mid forties. "Hey, kid." He said, looking at Amber. His extremely deep voice surprised me. Not that I expected it to be high pitch, I just didn't think it would be that low. "Who's this?" He said in a normal, more relaxed voice. He must have just made it deep for affect. I snapped out of my thoughts and looked up, realizing he was speaking to me. I nervously tugged on my sleeves, an old habit of mine. "Hi, I'm Katie." I said nervously. "Well It's good to see ya kid." He said kindly. Amber started rambling on about something, and I quietly sat down at a desk, going unnoticed. Like usual.
