Trying To Hide the Obvious

Chapter 3 New School

I'm about a block away from the school now.  I live two miles away from the school.  I am starting to see other teenagers.  I look around.  No one is stairning at me, yet.

When I get to school, I walk into the office.  I walk up to the secretary and wait for my schedule.  I look out the office windows.  People are stairring at me.  I leave the office and head forhome room.  I walk in and introduce myself to the teacher.  She ahs me sit at the back of the classroom.

When the bell rings to start homeroom, she takes attendance.  My name is last.  Everyone stairs at me when she calls my name.  After attendance, we say the pledge.  After the pledge, talk breaks out.  No one tries to talk to me.  I take the time to look at my schedule.  I have Chemistry, Biology, Calculas, AP English, Lunch, Social Studies, Spanish 3, Home Ec, and then PE.  What a nice way to end the day.

When the bell rings, I ask my homeroom teacher how to get to Chemistry.  She says it is the room right next door.  I thank her and leave.  I walk into the Chemistry room and walk up to the teacher.  There were people in here allready, and they all staired at me.  The teacher told me were to sit.  I sit at the very front this time.

A girl walks in and stairs at me.  She quits walking.  When she starts to walk again, she walks over to me and sits down right next to me.  She continues to stair at me.  Then, the teacher comes over with a book and a couple pieces of paper about rules I will need to learn and supplies I will need to get.  Then, we start class.

When the bell rings to leave, I walk up to the teacher.  I ask her how to get to Biology.  She says that this is the Biology room as well as the Chemistry room.  She said to sit in the same spot, so I did.  She brings me another book, and more papers.

People start to walk into the classroom.  People still stair at me.  At least they don't stop dead in their tracks like that one girl did.  A boy sits by me this time.  He looks me up and down.  When he sees I've saw him looking at me, he smiles.  That won't keep happening.

When the bell rings, I once again walk up to the teacher.  This timeIask her how to get to Calculas.  She says it's the room next door.   I walk back into my homeroom.  My teacher smiles at me and tellsme where to sit.  I end up sitting next to the same boy that I sit next to in Biology.  The teacher brings me my book, and class starts.

When class is almost over, the boy sitting next to me asks me if I knew how to get to lunch.  I told him no.  He said he would show me.  I  hoped this guy didn'tlike me.  Even if he did, he wouldn't for long.

When the bell rings, he shows me were the cafateria is.  I thank him and get in the lunch line.  People stair at me as I get my food.  I ignore them.

When I was done eating (I ate at a table by myself), I walked up to the lunch supervisor and asked how to get to Social Studies.  She told me how and when the bell rang, I set off for class.  I walked up to the teacher and he told me were to sit.  The same boy sat byme this class, too.  I was starting to get agrivated.

When the bell was about to ring, the boy next tome turned to me.  "You have Spanish 3 next, don't you?" He asks me.  I nodd my head.  "That's funny.  I have Spanish 3 next, too.  What do you have afterwards?" "Home Ec" It was the first thing I had said to someone besides a teacher all day.  "I have PE" "I have PE after Home Ec"  "Would youlike me to show you how to get to Spanish?" I nodd.  It is officially time to quit talking.

He walks me to Spanish class.  I think I am gettingmore stairs now than I did earlier.  I thanked him and walked up to the teacher.  He tells me were to sit.  I don't sit next to him this time.

The spanish teacher gives me a book, and we start class.  I saw the Home Ec classroom on my way to Spanish, so when the bell rings, I get up with everyone else and head to class.  I walk up to the teacher.  She says that we are on the cooking unit, so I didn't need anything.

After Home Ec, I head to the Gym.  The Gym is right next to the office.  I walk in.  I am in a girls and boys class.  The girls were all sitting on one side.  I walk up to the PE teacher, and she tells me to sit wherever.  I sit down on the front blecher.  She says that today we will be playing Kick Ball.

I am awesome at Kickball.  When the teacher asked who wanted to be captain, almost everyone raised there hands.  I didn't.  She picked a girl with brown curly hair named Tayloran and a girl with blonde curly hair name Sydni.  The guys went outside.  This is a good thing, because I get really nervous around guys.

I was the sixth person to be called.  No one knows how good I am yet.  Tayloran picks me.  They finish picking teams.  Myteam is up to kick first.  I get as close to the front of the line as possible.  I was third in line.  Tayloran and a short girl with brown curly hair was infrontof me.  I think her name was Maddie.

Tayloran makes it to first on her kick.  Maddie gets Tayloran to second and herself to first.  Then, I'm up to kick.  Sydni is the piture.  She rollsit to me.  I kick it.  I get a home run.  My team cheers.  I run around the bases.  When I go to the back of the line,Tayloran congratulates me.  I smile but don't say anything.

I kicked once more that inning.  I got another homerun.  When we where in the field, I played third base.  The first person who kicked kicked the ball straight at me.  I caught it.  The next person kicked it to me, too.  I also caught theirs.  The next one came to me, too, but it was on the ground.  I ran up to it,picked it up, and threw it at first base.  We got her out.

And that's how PE went.  I was exhausted by the end of class.  When the bell rang to leave, I slowly walked out the gym doors and outside.  Then, I started on the two mile long walk home.
