(9:15pm)

I slid in my seat just as the final bell rung, signaling classes were to begin. As I took my seat, the AP Environmental Science teacher, Ms.Janet walked in.

She was a tall, curvy, dark skinned lady and she had a beautiful, pearly smile on her. Of course, I'm not in to women, but she was beautiful.

I mumbled "Wow." to myself, and she said in a loud voice, "Good Morning class!"

Everyone mumbled their 'Good Mornings' and she asked us how our Summers went. A few students gave answers, but I stayed silent and just kept my eyes focused on her. Once this boy with a fade cut and some thick eyeglasses finished talking, the door swung open.

All our eyes shifted towards the door and a kid who had an afro that bounced with his every step and who wore some glasses walked in and some people groaned and Ms.Janet put her hands on her hips.

"There better be a good reason why you're late, Jacob."

Jacob. I lowly chuckled at this kid. Something about this kid...I liked. He seemed like he didn't stick in with this crowd.

I've been here for just an hour and 15 minutes and I've figured these people are indeed some snobby, judgmental kids just as Rayan said.

This girl from behind me whispered,

"I can't stand him. Can someone say attention seeker."

Another girl who sat beside her mumbled lowly, "That's the truth. Remember that time he came to school out of school uniform purposely and wore that tacky clothing." She chuckled and the both of them said, "Pathetic."

The guy in front of me turned around and smirked looking at me.

"You're the only one with a seat empty. Sorry bud."

I shrugged and said, "It's really not a big deal."

The girl from behind me gasped and I turned to look at her.

"Please. This is a 'big deal.' He's so--abnormal. And to top it off--"

The guy in front of me chuckled and I turned to him seeing him shaking his head,

"He's gay. Guess you're going to be the lucky boy."

The three of them began to laugh and the girl who made a comment about this kid coming to school out dress code mumbled,

"I wonder why the hell Chresanto is friends with a weirdo like him."

I turned to the front of class, mixed emotions running through my mind.

If Chresanto hangs with Jacob...then he must have nothing against homosexuals...but then they call Jacob abnormal. Saying he's gay, as thought it's a crime. A disease.

The guy Jacob took a seat beside me and I smelled the mint gum that he was chewing. He looked at me and smiled.

"Hi! I'm Jacob. You're new here, aren't you?"

I nod my head and smile. "Yeah, I am. The name is Craig."

 "Nice to meet you. What school did you come fr--"

"Craig and Jacob, you can associate on some other time.", Ms.Janet spoke, which caused some kids to turn to look at us and beginning to snicker.

The girl behind me mumbled something lowly, and I knew it was about Jacob, considering I heard his name in the statement. Jacob huffed and the both of us turned around.

"Megan, please don't start anything this year. You don't have the rights to talk about me because I'd rather be gay than known as the girl who'll open them legs for anyone."

The girl beside Megan gasped and the both of them shut up, and looked down to their desk. Jacob turned back around and I stared at him, chuckling lowly.

Yeah...I think I like this kid.
