Paper Roses

A new story! Whoooo. :))

----------------------

Gabriel Jackson

It's the first day of school in Milton High.

I am rummaging my locker, looking for my class schedule.

"Dude! What's your first class?" That's Josh Anderson, my best friend.

"Biology." I simply said.

"Oh! That boring, crappy class? You know Ms. Gold? She's a well known terror teacher!" I can't help but agree with him.

"I don't care. All I want is to graduate from high school and go to college." I replied.

"Are you a nerd? I bet you can't even ask Angelique out." I was really pissed off with what my best friend just said, and headed off to my class.

Angelique Hill

I am enjoying my time here in the girl's restroom. My friends Camille, Dahlia, Rina, and Jenette, are retouching their make up and took turns on taking selfies.

Camille took out her iPhone and posed for 10 selfies.

"Hey, take a picture of-" Jenette tried to say but the bell rang.

"Oh no! Biology. I hate that subject. That Ms. Gold is giving me a headache." I whined as I separated with my friends.

Allison Williams

At the farthest seat of the classroom, I was burying my nose in the pages of my Biology textbook, absorbing every written word.

As Angelique passed by, she pushed the book to my face and muttered "Nerd" as she headed to the frontmost chair, her so-called 'throne'.

Gab - that hot guy who doesn't seem to know my existence - on the other hand, sat beside me so that he could have a better view of Angelique.

The class started and nobody seems to pay attention, except for me. Of course, it's my favorite subject.

Majority of the class was sleepy. But it all changed when Ms. Gold asked a question.

"Can somebody tell me the other name for the Krebs Cycle?"

I shot my hand up in the air.

"Hmmm... Let's see how much you've learned... Ms. Hill, do you know the other name of the Krebs Cycle?" Ms. Gold asked to a very sleepy and bored Angelique.

"Oh. Ummm... It's also called the... the" Angelique looked scared. Ms. Gold seemed to notice for she shook her head and motioned for her to sit down. Angelique felt embarrassed and humiliated. Ms. Gold's eyes scanned the room. Everyone except me were admiring the beauty of their shoes.

"Jackson! Tell me the other name of the Krebs Cycle." Her tone was demanding. Gab nervously stood up.

"The other name of the Krebs Cycle is..." Gab trailed off.. Ms. Gold raised an eyebrow.

I decided to help my... my crush.

"Citric Acid Cycle..." I whispered as quietly as possible. If Ms. Gold caught me, I'm dead.

"... is Citric Acid Cycle." Gab finished.

"Hmm.. Very well." Ms. Gold said. She seemed satisfied, so she continued her lesson. And again, only a few were listening.

Gab's next words shocked me.

"Thanks, by the way. You're Allison, right?" Gab whispered to me while Ms. Gold's back was facing us. I tried to hide my blush by covering my cheeks with my hair.

"Yeah, sure. Anytime." I replied with a smile. Nobody knew how happy I am except for the 'How Happy Are You?' book in the library. I'm a nerd, by the way.

When the bell rang, everyone got up on their feet and left. I stayed a bit to copy the notes written on the board. They might come out in our test! Ms. Gold smiled at me. When I was done, I waved goodbye to the teacher and left.
