A.P. Freshmen

Chapter 3

*Aurora POV*

"........No parties, no sex, no drugs, no boyfriends, no girlfriends, no skimpy clothing, no skipping classes and absolutely no failing classes." I zoned back in on my dad's lengthy lecture on what not to do in high school.  "Your high school grades depend so much on college and success and future. You will have no time for anything else if you want to become a successful scientist." My parents were litterally that hardest hard asses on the planet. I have absolutely no life because of them.

"But I don't want to be a scientist." I groaned at my dad.

"Oh, Sweetie, you haven't experienced the joy of advanced chemistry, just wait it will be so much fun." He stated pulling up to the drop off curb of the high school. Great. I opened the car door and stepped out.

"Have a great first day! I know you'll love chemistry!" my dad smiled at me. I groaned and slammed the car door, getting ready to face a dreadful begginning. Although, I was looking forward to seeing my friends again. I glanced down at my Michael Kors watch my mom gave me for my birthday. Lovely, I was running late on my first day. I felt the frown on my face droop more and I knew this day was going to suck.

*After 1st and 2nd period*

The bell rang for my third period class to start. Well, there goes that. This school is literally a fucking maze! My dad is going to be so pissed when he finds out that I was late to chemistry. I actually don't mind that I'm late for chem. I took another turn and headed down the hallway. I was starting to really freak out. I didn't like not making good first impressions. I am one of those people who have to be liked by everyone and like everyone, or at least pretend to like everyone. I gawked in disgust as I passed an eager couple making out by the water fountain. I glanced down at my regestration paper and gaze up again at the door in front of me. Well, this was it, room 213 AP Chemistry. I prepared myself for doom and entered the classroom.

I released a breath i didn't realize I was holding in, when I realized that no one could care less that I just walked in ten minutes late, like they were all used to it. I looked around the class room and took the only seat I could find. I walked to the front of the room, regretting that I wore my black heels, of course, the noiseiest shoes I own and sat down. The teacher smiled and looked at me. She was the first female teacher I have had so far, and I liked that, relatable and kind. Hopefully. She had auburn hair that framed her face with bouncy curls. She stood up from behind her desk and walked towards me. At least I wasn't the only one wearing heels. She placed my chemistry handbook, and I felt like I had to explain myself. I opened my mouth, but she spoke before me.

"You must be the freshmen, Aurora, Right?" She asked waiting for an answer I nodded.

"I'm sorry I was late, I got lost. I didn't really know where I was going, and I prefer to be called Rorey." I said in the nicest tone possible, trying not to sound rude and disrespctful. She nodded.

"I'm Mrs. Cartwright. Welcome to A.P. Chemistry." She whispered and pointed to the board behind her which clearly had Mrs. Cartwright written in a soft swirly way. She stepped back a little and looked up at the rest of the class. "Alright class, this is Rorey. Make her feel welcome, alright?" the class broke out in to murmors and groans, and I melted. I was normally the kid in class who would speak up and feel confident, but in this class I was so intimidated. From the back of the room I heard a deep voice say to his friend, "Freshmen, huh? She must be really smart. You think If I bang her, she would help me pass this class?" I rolled my eyes and ignored him as he probably was the largest man whore of the school, but I was just a freshmen on my first day, what was I suppose to know about the juniors and seniors?
