Paper heart

Absent Minded

Looking at my paper, I felt as if it were in another language, I look at the first problem. " If a=23 and 23÷34=n then what is a?" See it makes absolutely no sense, if I was a good student I would just ask the teacher, should I........., I glanced at Mr. Lentan, his face more red than ever as he stared at my friend Cas teeth clenched, I wasn't super close to her but she kept looking at me as if it was my sworn duty to free her from Mr. lentan's wrath! She was about to cry as he yelled at her, oh man now I gotta help, I went to the electric sharpener it was so new and shiny, I sighed and slowly pushed my pencil into it then I jerked it off the table I could see it in slow motion I wanted to save it but I held my hands tightly together it hit the ground "CRASH" girls screamed boys yelled well one boy screamed like a little girl, blue plastic shards flew everywhere, I ended up shouting " WELL THIS ESCALATED QUICKLY!" Everyone started laughing but the laughter died so quickly as Mr. Lentan marched his way up to me he started to yell when all of a sudden a boy shouts

" D*mn girl you got the power" Mr. Lentan turned to face a boy who was in charge of shouting this nonsense

" Micah!  Ethel! Since you all seem to know each other how about you have detention together, tonight in the library"

" We don't know each other." I said

" Well now you have time too!"

The boy called Micah said " we can't talk during detention........"

"Ugh just get out of my sight!"

With that we walked back to our seats Micah winked at me and smiled, I smiled back and whispered " Thank you" then we went back to work then it was time for lunch, and lunch wasn't to bad I read my book for the most part and finally the last subject of the day history Mr. Rich he absolutely hated me, he hated everything about me and made sure I was well aware.  I sat in that cold rusty metal chair because all the good ones were taken someone came and sat next to me, huh who was it? No one sits next to me in this class especially willingly and yet there were 5 chairs that were no where near me except this one.........

"Hey Ethel!"

"Hey Micah!"

" that was really nice, what you did for your friend"

" Well it was really nice, what you did for me thank..." But my sentence was cut off

"Turn to page 103 in your text books!" Mr. Rich's voice boomed like thunder, Micah's head immediately to the front of the room and my mind went out to another universe of magical creatures and worlds that I didn't even realize that Mr. Rich was calling on me, then he impatiently slammed his hand on my desk I checked the time it was 2:32 only 3 minutes before the bell rings

" Miss Ploss,"

"Yes?" My voice was shaking

"In what year were woman given the right to vote?" I usually had all the answers

"Ummmmmmm 1923?"

" I am asking the question you are not so don't make it sound like a question now say it louder!" I look at Micah he gives me the don't look at me, I have no idea look that I was wishing not to see, I close my eyes

"1923!"

" Ohhhhh so close, only 3 years off " he said it as if I was a dumb child. The bell started to ring loud and me and Micah headed to the library.

The librarian stood there with fire color lipstick that was a close colour to my hair which was braided down my back she handed us both a huge pile of books

" Reshelve these" she said in her gruff voice

We went to the back of the library and started to reshelve the books and talk, a lot.  Now you'd think oh no her parents will be so worried but my parents get here at 4:00 because of work and it is also a long ride

Me and Micah (well Micah and I rather)  talked a lot and I now know that he came from a family of 6 where as I only have a brother and he would rather have a smaller family and I told him a lot about me as well. We became close friends in that short amount of time and I am glad at least I'll have one close friend around here I thought as my mom drove us home

" Honey I have been asking you for 20 minutes and still no answer! "

"Sorry mom"

" You are just like your father always so absent minded"
