     " This is day one of 6th... kind of. This was my first day at Online Hybrid School. Online Hybrid School is basically we have 2 days at an actual school and 3 days online school. My first few days of 6th grade I went to a different school. We are just going to talk about the Online Hybrid School days for now. I made really close friends that year but a few enemies."
     " Hi! Welcome to Online Hybrid School. My name is Ms. Adams. I will be your 6th grade teacher. Please take a seat at the table to your right." I walked to the coat rack and hung my stuff up. My small blue backpack was soon swallowed by my oversized jacket. I took at seat at the table and looked around at the students faces. At my table there were two guys and one other girl. The guys names were Grayson and Jason. The girl's name was Destiny.
     " Hey! My name is Destiny, but you can call me Tina. This is my friend, Jason." I turned to look at Jason. We exchanged smiles and a slight wave. I turned to see the boy to my right. His name tag read,"Grayson Doily". I looked at him and he seemed to have his full attention invested in his notebook. He payed no attention to the others in the class. I tried to subtly get his attention by dropping my pencil by his foot.
     "Hey, um... would you mind kicking that to be?" I said quietly. The boy did nothing. "Are you serious?" I thought to myself. I just reached down and grabbed my pencil. That was kind of rude. I turned to look at the board.
     " Oh, Skylar. We have this thing we do where we basically answer the question I post on the board. The questions are written in a Twitter post template." Ms. Adams addressed. I got up from my chair and grabbed a post-it note.
The board read,"If you could be any animal what would you be? Why?". I looked down at my post-it note. I thought for awhile until making my final decision. I would be a black panther. I would be a black panther because I'm pretty good at sneaking around. My mom always said that I was too sneaky. I wrote on the post-it note and signed the bottom as -Skylar. I put my post-it note on the "tweet board" as Ms. Adams called it. I looked over at Grayson who had now changed his focus to writing the tweet of the day.
Everyone put their final response on the tweet board and Ms. Adams began going over them. She would do a small part of our calendar called house keeping every morning. She would read a few of her favorite tweets and go over any announcements. Sometimes she would choose tweets that she liked or were funny. Other times she would choose the one that the class liked the most.
She chose mine. I assumed it was because it was my first day. She read it and I could feel the class staring at me. Some looked curious, others lost in thought. I glanced over a few faces. Everything was just fine that day. I was getting to know a lot of new friends and then I made my first enemy. Jake Michigan.
Jake Michigan was a nightmare. He was a brat and did what he pleased. The teacher stepped out of the room for a moment and he took the moment to his advantage. We were a little chatty, but none of us to loud. I saw Jake stand up so I glanced over. He had picked up an eraser and was walking towards the whiteboard. He began to write things and erase the notes the teacher took on the board.
"Hey! What are you doing?" I questioned.
"Writing on the board, duh." Jake remarked. I began to tense up. It wasn't that I was looking for a fight. It fact it was the opposite. I was a teacher's pet and watching him erase the notes angered me. I stood up from my chair and walked to the board. I snatched the markers and eraser out of Jake's hand. I slammed them down on his table and took a seat. After a bit more arguing he sat down. "Just great." I mumbled to myself. "Now I'm gonna be that kid."
After this, the day seemed to come to an end. It had been a whole day and still no attention from Grayson. Wait, why do I even care? "Oh no Skylar. Please don't fall for him." I quietly whined. Tina and I had small talk and I was shushed. He voice was close. I turned to see Grayson. Wow. I get no attention from him all day and now I finally do and what do I get. I get shushed. "Yeah, I definitely cannot fall for him."
