When Mya entered her first period class, she recognized the boy from the office. A look of genuine fear was plastered on his face and it looked as though it was permanent.
The desk next to him was unoccupied so she made her way over and sat down. "Hey, are you okay? You look really worried." Mya said. He flinched and looked at her reluctantly. "I'm fine, leave me alone." Mya nodded and turned away from him. She intended to try to talk to some of her classmates but she was trying to figure out what this boy could possibly be so afraid of.
The teacher entered the classroom and cleared his throat obnoxiously. "Good morning class! I have some exiting news! We have a new student joining us. Mya, come on up here and introduce yourself!" his voice seemed to explode from his chest. Mya stood up and walked slowly to the front of the room. "Hi, my name is Mya Alice. I've been homeschooled up until now so this is an exciting change for me!"
A few students in the back were sniggering loudly, and Mya quickly made her way back to her seat. The rest of first period seemed to drag, as though the minutes insisted on lasting as long as possible. Finally the bell rang, a shrill, high-pitched screech. Mya covered her ears, the sound was awful!
"Hey, Mya?" Mya turned around, startled. "I'm sorry that I was rude in there, I'm just a bit scared.... of my dad.... it's no big deal, he just gets mad when I get anything bellow a "B"." Mya shrugged "Its fine, I understand."
"Guess ill see you around. My name's Aron, by the way." .
