The people i hang out with

How I met potato gurl

In sixth grade I was in a club at school called Spanish Quiz Bowl. Or Quien Sabe Mas... That means who knows most. We had a competition that next Saturday. I got to school extra early that day and decided to go talk to my Spanish teacher. She said she would be calling us to her class room during first period so we could try on our T-shirts and maybe practice the questions about Latin America that we were supposed to study.

After hearing that I skipped to class. I was so happy that I would be able to get out of first period math. As usual I went to class sat down. This was the class I hated the most. The teacher was fat and really mean. Ironically her name was Ms. Ham. No lie. She has a really high pitched voice that got on my nerves soooo much. And she put so much pressure on all of us. Her classes were the only classes that I had bad grades in. When she coughed she put a tik tak in he mouth as if she thought that it would stop the coughing. I was a goody goody and ill admit that even I talked back to her at least once. She was such a pig.

Anyway,now that i am done ranting about stupid teachers, back to the story. When I got to class the announcements came on over the intercom. After the pledge of allegiance they said he team had to report to room 32. There were 3 QSM girls in my homeroom. Me,kendra,and Zhara. I would say Zhara is one of the popular girls so I dont pay her much attention. Kendra on the other hand was always quiet. I always thought she was a nice and sweet quiet girl. Like people thought I was. While we walked we were both walking silently by ourselves while kendra talked to other members of the team. Eventually I spoke up.

"Hello Kendra! I didnt know you in spanish quiz bowl. Why dont you stay after school?"

" My mom said I cant. But yes I am on the team."

"Do you speak spanish well?"

"Yes...But not fluently"

" I know what you mean. I am the same way."

"Yup............"she said. And thats about when we got to the classroom. When we got there we all went to the bathroom and changed into the shirts. Then we all got our pictures taken in front of the media center. And we also got a team picture taken. Then we had to go back to class. Now Kendra and I are best friends! She has an obsession with potatoes so in this chapter she is known as potato gurl. You will read about her ALOT.
