I strode past the lockers and into my first subject which was Math. I was quite upset with this new schedule, though. I mean who would be joyous starting their class with Math subject?

Some mathlethes wouldn't mind. But what about others? Or me, perhaps? I had been thinking about this too much and hadn't focused on my steps because with a blink of an eye, I bumped into someone.

Don't let it be a tree, please. I lifted my head up and saw Mr. Stone, a fifty one-year-old man which was our professor in Math.

"Ms. White, are you alright?" He asked which made me let out a nod in response. "Shouldn't you be in class now?"

"Well, I should be but I bumped into y..." I suddenly stopped, before adding an excuse.

Crap! Crap!

"Tree... earlier."

Mr. Stone suddenly laughed with his adams apple bobbing up and down his throat. Am I safe?

"Good one, Ms. White... C-"

What?!

"But sir, I..." I protested,

"Get in!" Mr. Stone scowled, motioning his head to the right where the room was.

With my shoulders down and openly frustrated look, I silently walked inside and spotted Hailey on her usual seat.

Hello, Monday.

"He gave you C-?" Hailey questioned for sixth times since we got out from our class

"He gave you C-?" Hailey questioned for sixth times since we got out from our class.

She dropped her bag on the table as we took a sit on the cafeteria for lunch.

I never was an acer but I swear I never am a failure too. A C-? It's only a grade on my character but still, it could pull me down since I'm not good at Math.

"Yeah. Bad luck." I sighed, slumping my face on the cold stainless table.

"What a downer for a luck."

I sighed, "Like I said..."

"Hi guys!" Sandra waved, pulling out a small smile while sitting down beside me.

She dropped her star wars inspired bag with a loud thud on the table causing me to flinched my head up. Her bag weighted tons and you were not gonna believe it if I told you that it was filled with books she borrows from the grumpy mademoiselle from the library.

"Hey Sandra." Hailey and I greeted in unison.

Sandra gave us a small smile, "So... I received a text yesterday."
