THE A LISTERS

Chapter 6: it's a new time

PREVIOUSLY:

“That was some party huh?” said Kara as snuggled into the red comforter. Klara’s parents were out of town. We sat in her backyard in front of a small campfire.

“Its okay. Who was that guy though?” asked Klara. “Yeah what kind of psycho is he?” asked Nate angrily.

“His name is Vance Grant. He is from New York. His father has a restaurant chain” said Ezra.

“Okay but what ever happen got out of hand” I said leaning in towards the fire.

“Yes but its over now. That’s all that matters, lets not let it ruin the night.” Klara said smiling.

We all nodded in agreement.

NOW:

Chapter 6: it’s a new time

“You might be used to getting everything at your previous school, but it’s going to be different here” she said whamming my table top with her fat accounting textbook.

“Here we go!” said Oliver rolling his eyes.

Our class teacher Mrs. Maisy was known for her temper tantrums. She had a habit of bursting into flames over the smallest things possible. She would go off without a warning! It was quite the sight!

“I can see the smoke coming out of her ears!” said Ezra holding back a laugh.

I was wedged in between them. It was like running commentary from both ends.

“Alright where was I? Ah yes here is the schedule. This section is for all the students who chose additional English yes? Okay you will have business etiquette and quantitative methods for today, the schedule for tomorrow will be announced later on. Now please do behave, you’re irrational behavior is giving me a headache”

“Her face is giving me a headache!” I said holding my head.

“Classic Nia” said Ezra giving me a high five.

“Alright now please welcome Mr. Saltzman, he is known for his training in business culture and has won many awards for his way with the younger generation. Mr. Saltzman if you ever need anything please do let me know! I will be right down the hall.” said Mrs. Daisy, clearly faking the enthusiasm.  She walked out of the room before Mr. Saltzman could reply.

“Well she seems fun!” said Mr. Saltzman rolling his eyes.

I smiled at him. He was so amusing! He was tall and wore a white and blue stripe shirt. His body was well built and he wore the well-cut shoes. Something about the smile that he wore was so attractive; I couldn’t take my eyes off him. I leaned forward placing my hand underneath my chin.

His raven colored eyes met mine and my heart starting pounding…  they were so captivating, it was hard to look away.

He pointed at me and said “that posture right there! The one the beautiful lady in the scarf wears, is the one that tells me she is tentatively listening!”

The whole class turned to look back at me and I couldn’t help but sit back, biting back a smile.

“Today I will be grooming you on body language and basic table manners” he said pulling out a laser controlled remote.

His voice was so indulging I tilted my head and listened in as he taught us how to conduct ourselves at business meals and what every posture means.

“Miss! In the scarf! Yes the one sitting next to the boy in green. Would you tell me what your favorite cuisine is?” he asked me.

“I love Italian sir, especially steak.” I said smiling.
