Shattered

Names And Faces

It's 8:05a.m now, we're walking down the hallway of each floor, following a teacher named Lucy Woods, who is sending us one by one to our assigned form classes. We walk down the first floor of the building and stop outside a classroom at the end of the hallway. Miss Lucy then takes a look at her clipboard that has a list which states the form classes that each and every new student is assigned to.

"Joshua Garner." She says.

I step forward after she calls out my name, realizing that this is classroom is going to be my form class.

"Please step inside, this group of lovely boys and girls will be your classmates starting today." She tells me as she smiles.

I open the door, not feeling nervous at all, i step into the classroom. The classroom goes silent and everyone is staring at me.

The lady in the classroom walks towards me, "Hello, i am Miss June and i am the form teacher for this class, please introduce yourself to the class." She says to me as she smiles.

Without thinking about what to do, i immediately make a semi circle pattern with my right hand going from left then a curve up and curve down to the right as if i just "Hi!".

"The name's Joshua Garner." I say as i scan the classroom, trying to remember each and everyone of their faces.

"Right... you'll fit perfectly in this classroom. Anyway, the person who'll be showing you around and guiding you in school will be, Zack." She tells me while pointing at the boy sitting at the front.

Zack is slightly fat, wears glasses, has a pompadour fade hairstyle and is tan, like really tan.

I sit down next to him and everyone goes back to doing what they were doing, except for the fact that they steal glances at me, just the usual talking about the new kid kind of thing like trying to predict what kind of person they are or how hot do you think they are.

"Welcome to class 7A." Zack says beside me right before Miss June tells us to leave for our next class.

I follow Zack and the rest of the class to the second floor, the floor where the Secondary Office is at, we stop by the four rooms infront of the office, two on the left side and two on the right side.

"Our class gets mixed with the other two classes in our year and separated into three different classes depending on how good you are for maths." Zack tells me when he notices the confused look i have on my face.

"Ohh... what about the fourth classroom?" I ask.

"All the four classrooms that are here are all part of the maths department, but our year just doesn't use the fourth classroom." He replies.

The first day passes just like that. I managed to talk to every single one of my classmates atleast once and tried to remember as many names as i could. There were around 21 to 24 students in each class, 7A, 7B, and 7C. Not too big of a number but still quite big.

Second day already and this time i'm taking a bus to school. Probably for the rest of my school life too until i'm old enough to drive atleast.

First lesson on Wednesday, maths...again. Walking up with my form class and beside Zack to the first floor, just like yesterday. The teachers were late so we had time to just talk to each other outside the classrooms. Zack and i are having a conversation with a few other guys, Jay Nicholson, Mike Peters and James Lim.

With all the voices overlapping each other, i could bearly hear anyone else other than the group i am currently talking to right now.

But i hear someone shouting my name in the crowd, i turn around and see Laura looking at me while doing a motion with her finger telling me to "get over here".
