How Can I Ever Get Past This Chapter 16

Chapter 16

Today was the first day of college classes. I was definitely not excited about them. I was so tired. Stephanie kept me up all night watching cartoons. It was around 8 a.m. I do not know why I volunteered for morning classes this early.

I grabbed my bag, binder, and cell phone. I had Josh in this class. We had found that out when he showed me around. It was supposed to be some kind of critical thinking class, about getting inside of people's minds. It was one of the last classes open so I got stuck with it. This same thing happened to Josh, how ironic.

I walked in the class and took a seat in the middle. I was about 15 minutes early. I had seen TV shows and movies about college and how students were late and what happened, and trust me I did not want to be one of those students. I searched through my bag. Damn I had forgotten my iPod. This was going to be a long class. I was in never never land when someone interrupted my thoughts.

"Hey Syd" What the hell? I turned to look towards the person who called me this. It was Josh.

"What did you just call me?" I asked him.

"Syd?" he said as if almost asking a question

"I hate that name, can you not call me by that?" Him calling me that reminded me so much of Kaylin.

"Umm yea okay"

"Thanks" I replied

"So you ready for a fun filled year of college" He asked

"Ecstatic" I replied sarcastically. I looked at my phone It was 8:10. Almost 30 minutes had passed where was this teacher? As if on cue he showed up.

"Hello, Welcome to my class. I'm Mr.Gardner and I'm looking forward to this year with a new bunch of students. I always get mixed reviews, so I'm really excited" He stated.

I started to nod off I was so tired. Josh shook me to wake up.

"You there," the teacher pointed at me "What's your name?" he asked.

"Sydney" I replied

"Ahhh Mrs. Sydney. I would appreciate it if you would not sleep in my class. Try to make an attempt to go to bed early the night before my class. Don't go out and party, drink, and have sex with every guy you meet." he said calmly

What the hell? I could not believe a teacher just said that to me. Could he get away with that? I guess so since we were in college. I looked at Josh. He gave me a look as if he knew I was about to reply to the teacher. The look was like a warning to not say anything. But I couldn't. I felt so disrespected.

"So is that your way of calling me a slut without actually saying it, so you won't be referred to as a jerk?"I questioned. He turned in looked at me in disbelief as if I really did not say that.

"If that's the way you think of it" He started teaching, so I couldn't get in another word. I sunk in my seat and waited for the class to end. After about an hour he let us go. As I was walking out random people told me that I had nerve. I laughed.

"I can't believe you spoke to him like that" Josh said

"Why not?"

"First you're not supposed to talk to a teacher like that. Second you don't seem like the type who would outburst like that" he stated

"Well he started it" He laughed

"So you want to go grab a bite to eat with me?" He asked

"Sure" I replied. We went to some Mexican restaurant that Josh liked. I was looking at the menu. I think I was going to get the sampler. It came with nachos, quesadillas, taquitios, chile, and some other stuff. It was a big meal. When I ordered it the waiter and Josh look surprised. What the hell I was hungry. I took a sip of my margarita I ordered. Josh knew a lot of people around here so he could get a lot of stuff that most 18 year olds couldn't. He knew like everybody in town.
