For Jordan Adams's entire life, she has always been homeschooled. This year, her mom gives her the chance to go to Cedar Wood High. Jordan is super excited and counts the days down till school starts. But is it really as exciting as it sounds? Join...
I'm in the hall and I try to get my school books from my locker. I see Conrad and he's talking to one of his friends. It seems like a serious conversation that in the end, the friend hugs Conrad. They both disperse and depart to their classrooms. I sit in my seat in my homeroom and Mrs. Lewski walks up.
" Hello, class. I thought it would be beneficial if our class started this year with a history project. Each of you will have a partner for this project and I want you to tell me who your history hero in a two-page essay."
She goes over some other names and then I hear my name. I'm so surprised to pair with that person.
" Jordan? Jordan? Are you there??? Can you hear me?" Mrs. Lewski says as she waves her hand in my face.
" Oh..... Sorry. Yes... I heard you." I say.
" You heard that Conrad Michael is your partner for the project right??" Mrs. Lewski asks.
I asked, " Why did you pair me with Conrad Michael? You could of pick anyone else. Why me?"
She smiles and says, " You are both intelligent students in my class and you both have the same objectives. You both are really determined in my class, study hard for tests, great listeners, obedient, and nice. I don't have a lot of students like that anymore and you like him. I saw you get red when you were pair with him and wave dreamily to him. But for the most part it has to do with the other qualities. "
I giggled and said " Okay.......... Alright....... Sure I'll start my project right away."
Conrad comes over and says " So you're the new girl and my partner for this history project. I see. I guess.... you can come over to my house to work on it tonight. My parents are tech people so most of everything we own is techno things. I'll text you for details for tonight. See you then." I wave and I see him disappear around the corner. Stop thinking about him and it's just a school assignment. He could care less about you. He's the most popular guy in this school and probably has a girlfriend. Maybe I need to freshen up and a drink of water. Breathe. In and out. In and out. That's it. Breathe. In and out.
Love from Jordan B. Adam
