Him (BoyxBoy)

Chapter Ten- Cat Fight

The fresh start of our week so far has been splendid. All of my classes and grades are on track. The weather has been picking up here and it's been starting to get very cold down here. Yesterday Dak and I presented the small little project that we've been working on for the past week in AP World to the entire class. Of course some of the people in class did not finish their project or had "technical difficulties." That's the excuse that everyone uses because they think that they could simply slip away through and get an extra day.

There was actually one group who actually had technical difficulties. The school's system was down and internet issues were erupting so I guess they got scot free on this one. Our tri-fold was all neat and pretty looking; red background, white outlining, and lots of pictures for show. We miss calculated of the amount of content we were going to add so we had to attach a second tri-fold to the back on the first one. It kind of made a book. We took some yarn and hot glued it to each side. When we closed it, it closed as one, and when we went to open it, it opened like a nice booklet.

We had our paragraphs on the sides of the tri-folds with the pictures in the center. We included their flag, national traditions like parades and types of events, foods, and famous locations and landmarks. The downfall on the project was that it weighed a ton. I hadn't realized how much we're put into it and of how much cardboard could weigh.

Our teacher gave us a perfect score and was amused by the amount of work and time we'd put into it. Emilia and Sara on the other hand didn't get full credit. But they didn't make it any lower than an 80%. Some of the kids in our class had great projects. Someone did Portugal, one did Finland, a group did the Koreas, and a girl did some small country in Africa. I think it was Nigeria or Mozambique.

One day I would like to travel the world and head to those places and explore the wild lands and see all that there is to offer. Hopefully one day I'll be able to see and seek through all that exist. I'm not sure yet of what I want to be once I get out of school. I do know that I want to get into a good college and be in the field that goes places. Maybe a new anchor and go to different countries and report back to the States.

Or maybe I can be like one of those Man vs. Wild type of dudes. That'd be cool. All I know for sure is that I need to travel the world. Linbourne is nice and all but I really need to explore the world. I get tired of this everyday scenery.

All of our periods were wonderful. Easy task, make up day, or just relaxed. Of course Biology is never easy. Mr. Shortman is a bitch. Not that his work is hard. Its quite easy. Its the fact that he never puts in grade into the grade book so we just sit there with zeros. When he does put in grades he takes forever. Sometime I wonder how he got this job or even why he wanted to be a teacher.

I can never be a teacher. They make so little money, its not even worth it. I really want to ask him why he decided to get this job if all he does is slack. But he one of those guys who gets butthurt easily and making the wrong move or saying something smart, he'll put in a zero on an a assignment or two for you and probably stay like that forever.

When lunch finally came around the lunch lady I always go to had a nice packed lunch for me that she made. Its funny too because she worked at our old school and moved up here. She took the lunch business up a notch. She's going elite. She packed me a chicken casserole with veggies inside. Its somewhat like a chicken potpie but this one is made out of cornbread; which I love. Cornbread is the best type of bread. You can't go wrong when making corn bread.

I grabbed an apple juice from the lunch line and walked over to the rest of the group where they were sitting.

"Hey guys."

"Hey. What's that?" Kim spoke with a mouth full.

"Food."

"No shit, what kind of food."
