Life at High School

First day at high school, everyone was new to me, new people, new faces, new teachers, but same me. I was alone, none of my old friends were with me. The high school I am currently attending is called The High School for Contemporary Arts at Evander Child Campus . I was a junior, high school student. I am going to be a senior next year, so this basically means is going to be my last year on high school. Honestly, when I choose the schools I wanted to go in, I put this school as my third option, the first option I had in mind was Lehman High School. It was a total drag for me that I didn't get accepted, but it was totally fine with me.

The first person I met was a guy called Daniel Garcia. My first reaction when I saw him was pretty much that he was a bad ass but cool looking at the same time. I had a feeling that we wouldn't get along very well. It was second period and I had resource class. When I walked inside the class room everyone looked at me like if I was some kind of strange being, but I didn't mind at all. I didn't care what people thought about me because that's the type of person I am. My resource teacher was Ms. De Blasi and well in my opinion she is a nice teacher although others might be thinking differently ,but hey! what can I say? The reason me and Danial - or Danny as I like to call him- became friends was because of a simple plastic pen. I remember that  i didn't had anything to write with, so I asked for a pen and he lend one to me.

After class finished, me and Danny talked about our favorite stuff such as anime, books, etc. We had only a few things in common. Danny was more like a gothic type of guy. The way he dresses says it all, the chains and spikes he wore oh and lets not forget the eyeliner. That day some people were kind of afraid of us because we looked tough, they thought we were trouble makers. At lunch period no one wanted to talk to us so we basically sat on the smallest table at the very end of the cafeteria. We wondered why people were just looking at us like if we were some sort of weird food or something like that. Then I began to realize why, since Danny was dress like a gothic type and I was dress like a regular guy everybody thought that it wasn't  right or normal for us to be friends. Danny and I just laughed about it.

 When I was a 6 grader, I saw a group of people that were dress all in black with chains, spikes and dark make up, there was no doubt that they were gothic. After that, some random guy said hi to them, but they all just ignored him and walked away. I just smiled and began my walk home. Lunch period was almost about to end and well Danny wanted to skip school, he wanted to drag me along with him, but I told him that I couldn't go with him because if my father knew about it, it was going to cause me trouble and also because it was the first day of school.

The 6th period started so me and Danny had to go back to resource class and as always the students were still looking at us very weirdly. That day during class, Danny told me if I wanted to play a game that he liked to call "Rate the girls from our class". I wasn't interested but a just tag along like I always did. The rules were basically rate the girl from 1 to 10 to determinate how pretty the girls from our class were. The only girl that got our attention was a girl named Jessica Marrero. Danny said that she was kind of cute ,but to me she looked like those nerd girls and don't get me wrong, I have nothing against nerds, I'm just saying she was nerdy due to the fact that she was the smartest girl in our class. After that she asked us why were we staring at her. Danny just stood quite so I took over. I told her straight up why were we staring at her, so I explained everything to her and once I was done she laughed and smile. Then she told me that we were weird so I just started to laugh. Danny even asked, why was she laughing. I just told him that I told Jessica or Jessie as I called her by now, the truth. Danny asked me confused that why did I told her what were we doing, so I told him that girls like honesty. If I had lied then pretty much things will get up uglier. Most of the time people tell the teacher on us, but surprisingly that wasn't the case.

It was 8th period and I had English class my teacher's name was Ms. Marshall. At first I thought that she was a mean teacher, but I stood corrected. She was nice and an excellent teacher to be honest. I like the way she teaches and she actually makes the class fun. At first I thought I was going to be alone on this class because i didn't  knew anyone there. Soon after that, Danny walked inside the class room I asked him that what was he doing here, he then took out his class schedule and well it turned out I had every class with him.

Once class ended, he started talking about making a group of friends were we could be all together like a family. I never imagined that coming from him, but is just like I always do, just tag along. When I heard him I asked him that who in the world will accept to be in our group. We haven't met anyone new, after that he told me that he met a girl named Kathy and that he wanted to introduce me to her. Danny out of the nowhere started saying that she was really, really cute and that she was from Mexico, just like me.

It was the end of school day so Danny and I were making plans for the next school day. Danny was going to introduce me to Kathy on the next day of school. Danny  asked me if I met new people at school and all I told him was that i didn't wanted to meet anyone. I am like a lone wolf ever since I started the 5th grade. I just wanted to be isolated from everyone. Afterwards Danny asked me why was I that type of person, I just told him that there were so much things he would not understand, but Danny told me that he was my friend and that friends were always there for you when you need them. I just closed my eyes and then smiled. After that  I agree with him to make the group. Danny smiled and said "'Operation Group' starts now"
