High School
The bell rings, everybody gets out.
I'm the last one to pack my bag. I get up and head to the door.
English teacher – Jordan would you mind come here for a moment?
Jordan – No, not at all teacher.
I walk towards my english teacher with only one of the straps of my backpack on my shoulder.
English teacher – So I noticed you're really intelligent.
Jordan – Thank you miss.
English teacher – But you're too shy. You close yourself into your own world.
English teacher – Do you know what could help you?
Jordan – What?
English teacher - Joining the school's drama club.
Jordan – Thank you. But I don't know...
English teacher – Theater helps people with their shyness and lack of confidence.
Jordan – I'll think about that.
English teacher – Oh, but time is ticking.
English teacher – The drama teacher is closing the allowance of students to join in.
English teacher – So you must go now.
Jordan – Now?!
Jordan – But I have to go home.
English teacher – I did not mean it like that.
English teacher – In your class break go speak to the drama teacher.
Jordan – Okay.
English teacher – And tell her you would like to join the drama club.
Jordan – Thank you once again teacher. See you tomorrow.
English teacher – See you tomorrow.

I'm in math class and I'm wondering about what the english teacher told me yesterday.
Should I really join the drama club? Will it empower me?!
I will give it a try. After this math class I'm going to talk to the drama teacher.
Math teacher – Jordan?!
Jordan – Yes?!
Math teacher – Why aren't you paying attention to the exercise?
Jordan – I am. I was just thinking how could I solve the exercise.
Math teacher - Oh right?!
Math teacher – Then you wouldn't mind to come to the board doing the exercise, would you?
Jordan – Well, I don't know.
Math teacher – It wasn't a question. I'm telling you to go to the board do the exercise now.
Jordan – Okay.
My classmates start to booing me and mocking me.
Math teacher – Hey shut up!
Math teacher – You're all going to the board doing exercises just for being so mean.
I smile a little and struggle to do the exercise. I just want to get out of the class.
