Chapter XXV (2011)

California, 29th April 2011

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.

California, April 30th 2011

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.
