(AJ) Hunter follows me and jezz to our second hour. We walk in and Anderson is reading the Harry Potter book for the 7th time since it came out. She looked up from the goblet of fire. "Hi, guys." She smiles and says shy like. She's by far one of the best teachers. "Hey, Anderson. How was your summer." She puts her bookmark in and then sets it down on her desk. "Well, I went to New York with my family and had a lot of fun. How about you guys."
"Well, I bet it wasn't as good as yours. But I and jezz went to a resort her family owns and kind of..." I look at jezz wondering if we should mention that. Jezz just shrugs. "We got to see some hot lifeguards." Anderson giggles a little bit. But she nodded. And gestured toward Hunter who finally took a chill pill, he was reading the books on the shelf. " Anderson this is Hunter, Hunter Anderson." They wave awkwardly. "So Hunter where you from?" He looks up. "Atlanta." She nods. "What kind of books you read." He smiles."Ummm well... Harry Potter."
She gives her approval. And then everyone starts taking their seats. The snotty prep kids start giggling at Hunter. And he just brushes it off like their specks of dirt. And he turns back to his conversation with jezz. I think he likes her. And she defiantly thinks he's cute.
And we go through the class expectations. This will happen every hour. So I prepare with my earbuds. Playing anything that's not rap. It's not that I hate it I just don't understand why most rappers rap about drugs, alcohol, sex and all that. Which I mean it's in a lot of my music but it's not like it's the whole song and almost every song.
I just fiddle around with my pencil. Anderson just talks on and on. I stare out the window of the third story. A dark figure was sitting out the windows side. I tried poking jezz but it was like fear was engulfing me like when you have night terrors. My body was frozen to that position. The shape started forming into something. Just then the blinds fall really fast and I see Anderson staring at me. Everyone in the room looks at me.
I get all shy like and start blushing. "Please don't look out the window when I'm teaching." And she instantly goes back to the front of the class and finishes her lecture. I sit there stunned by what happened. With p!and playing in my earbuds still.
Jezz turns to me from chatting with Hunter. "What's going?" She whispers in my ear. I shook my head. I really didn't know what was going on as I stare at the floor. All I know whatever it has Anderson seen it too. I'm gonna have to talk to her about this.
(Joe) after the second hour, I have my prep. So I head to Rangers room. He's pretty odd he likes to yell a lot and he always makes jokes about kids. Well, that's what I heard. I take a step and Ranger is sitting at his desk in the corner. And his science table for experiments next to it. And his black tables in an odd setup. "Hey, their newb. Hows the first day?" He gives a big smile. He stands up and a couple of kids come into the class and take a seat. "It's okay." He nods. "Do you need anything?" "No, I was just gonna see how Hunters doing." He nods not knowing who that was.
Then I turn and there they are. I feel a tightness in my chest as she walks by. I don't know but theirs something about her. That makes me keep my focus on her. I finally forced my self to look at Hunter. "Hows the first day doing?" "Good, I even have new friends." He walks past me to sit next to Jezz and AJ.
I decide he's in good hands and leaves. Back to my class and I sit in the dark on my chair. With a stick in hand. My stick the one I made back in high school. Back when my girlfriend wasn't accusing me of cheating, of lying and now killing the dog. I close my eyes. Hoping that I could just disappear.
( Hunter) joe leaves and Jezz tells me about snowmobiling. And how fun it is. "It seems a lot like dune bugging. Except its cold and a different machine." Ranger interrupts our conversation.
