Emery's POV {pic of Shaley >>>
I looked around trying to find the damn office. I had spent 15 minutes walking around the school looking like a total idiot. I had finally found it, placed at the end of the school under the staircase. I mean who in the right mind would place the office there? I swear some people these days.
"You must be Emery?" a woman spoke as I walked in. She looked about 32 maybe 34. She had a button up shirt with a tank top and pencil skirt. I couldn't see her shoes but I figured they were some sort of flats. I would've called her look slutty but she actually made it look pretty appropriate.
"Yes" I mumbled, looking to the ground. "Well here's your schedule." she said handing me a piece of paper with times and classes written on it. "Thank You" I said before scrambling out the door.
My first class was Algebra 2b. I hated it, but at least I'd get it over with. The rest of my classes included
• Foreign History (7:15 - 8:15)
• Chemistry 1 (8:17 - 9:17)
• English (9:19 - 10:19)
• Technology (10:21 - 11:21)
• French (11:23 - 12:23)
• Earth Science (12:25 - 1:25)
• Lunch (1:30 - 2:00)
And then •Home Ec. (2:05 - 3:05)
Each class was an hour long. I cursed my mother for making me move to this school. Now I just needed to find my locker. The paper said it was in the 3rd hallway (1593). I headed my way to my locker using the map that was in my hand. I just knew I was gonna get lost since I basically got all F's on my maps test in history.
~~~
I finally found my locker. I grabbed my books for the rest of my classes and hurried off to my remaining ones. I really didn't wanna be late. Afraid I'd have all eyes on me when I walked in.
Finally I made it to my class. I knew just from the teacher talking and the quietness that I was late already. *Face Palms* My lack of directions are horrible. I should've just asked the lady for a student to help me, like I should've asked my mom what school I was supposed to go to earlier today.
Opening the door I peered inside the class. It looked like any basic class room. Rows of desk, a desk for the teacher in the front, and a black board. Before I could slip inside...
"You must be Miss Reckess?" The teacher said. He was wearing a black suit and his hair was a dark black color, slicked back with gel probably. He had a tall figure probably around. His shoulders were broad and his posture looked he was in the army for 2 years. He looked like he was in his late 40's. His feature scared me a bit.
"Ye-s-s!" was all I got out. I looked right at him though, afraid if I didn't make eye contact he would smack my hand with a ruler like they did in the 1800's and earlier.
"Why are you late?" He asked with a serious face. I stood there trying to think of an answer, but couldn't come up with anything.
Why was I late? Come on Emery you can't be this stupid. Just think of something!
Nothing.
You idiot, hurry up before he looses his patience
I tried to think of an excuse, but nothing would come out. I was getting uncomfortable under every ones watch.
"ANSWER ME!!!" He yelled. I would've held my ears since it sounded like he was screaming through a microphone. " IcameinlateandgotlostMr.Ader,sorry..." "Repeat that again for me" Miss Reckess. "I couldn't here you"
" I came in late and got lost Mr. Ader, sorry "
"Ok, well I expect you to come in at the right time tomorrow." he said with a stern look that could probably kill some one. "Now take a seat and get out a piece of paper. Just so you know you will be staying 2 hours after school due to your lack of time.
"MOTHER FU-..." . I quickly covered my mouth when I realized what I had just said. I knew it was to late though. Since he looked like he was about to kick me out of the class.
"That's 4 hours Emery." Great now he was using my name. " Do want to make it 6?" Umm I didn't even know they had detentions that long, like wtf.
"No, Sir." He looked at me with an annoyed look. "Good I advise you not do any thing else like that for the rest of this class, do you understand?"
I looked down at my feet before answering him "Yes, Sir." "Now take a seat Emery."
I looked around the room. There was about half of the class looking up at me. Probably thinking Eww, really "she's the new girl?
The only seat that was available was next to a girl who had her face in a book, it looked like some kind of mystic. I headed towards her clutching my books to my chest.
I hesitantly glanced her way before speaking " Ca-n I s-it here ple-a-se?" was all I got out. Why was I stuttering? I really couldn't pin point my reason. She wasn't a boy obviously, I guess I was just nervous since I didn't really know her. Plus my fear of judgement dint really help the problem.
She looked up from her book, "Yeah go head." She said motioning to the seat.
I quickly sat down knowing that if I didn't the teacher would probably flip out on me like he did the last time.
I looked up to the board and notice he wrote the words Poem Project. I bit my lip and looked around nervously. Was he seriously going to make me do this. Did he do this to every new student? I mean I do realize you should get the student ready for the different ways, but I didn't think I'd be doing anything today, my "first" day.
Mr. Ader cleared his throte and began speaking. " Alright Class. This week you'll be starting a new project, the Poem Project. Students started to mumble words that probably stated how stupid this is. "Anyways" Mr. Ader spoke again. "You may think this is awesome and you may think this is stupid, but either way you are doing it.
I looked to the side to see the girl slumped in her chair. She looked like she was about to fall sleep since her eyes kept closing but snapping back open.
"Hey, I didn't get your name?" I asked smiling towards her. "Shaley." She answered returning the smile. I fiddled with my fingers for a few seconds. It's was odd that I didn't know what to say. I had to think of something quick, or I'd look like an idiot.
"Cool" really cool was all I could come up with? Maybe "Pretty name!" Or " Thats different I like it" I could here my conscious saying "Stupid Stupid Stupid" in the back of my head. For all I knew she was right, right about every thing basically. Sometimes I think I should just let her possesses me and takeover. It's like there's another soul living inside me. One that isn't stupid, doesn't lie, can be honest, doesn't hide their feelings behind a wall.
After that she actually talked to me still. Our conversation was going on and on. Talking about things we did during are summer. She asked me a lot of questions about my move. I wasn't paying attention to the teacher about the project.
~~~
Before I knew it we only had 5 minutes left of class. I hadn't payed attention 1 bit to the project. It sounded pretty easy though.
"Ok, now can anyone tell me what you have to do for the project?" I knew he was looking strait at me. "Emery?" Can you tell the class what we have to do."
"Umm, Write a uh poem?" It sounded more like a question then an answer. Snickering was coming from some students. I heard some people say "Dumb Fuck". Great I already have people harassing me about shit.
"Mr Ader" raised his eye brow at me. "Wrong" he said with annoyance in his voice" Of course I knew it was wrong, logic.
The ball rang, signaling it was time for another shitty class. Yay another teacher and more students. I thought. Quickly grabbing my books and saying goodbye to Shaley I headed out the door to my next class.
