I walk into the Integrated Math 2 room. It's a decorated classroom with papers of definitions on walls. Our teacher, Mrs. Borrow, hands out a deck of cards. Giving us all a card.
"Once the bell rings and everyone is seated. I'll explain the cards!" I sit next in a group of people I don't know and hope and pray that, I have someone in this class that I at least know! "All right class, time to get in your assigned seats. Over here st table 1 is, Aphmau, Jason, Adam, and Kawaii~Chan. Over at table 2 is-" I block out whatever names she continues to say. so excited to have KC at my table. We probably won't get much done, but what are true friends for?
"Oh, my goodness Aphmau, I can't believe we have the same class. I was looking all over for this class!" I turn my head to look over my shoulder and see Jason from my stats class.
"Oh, hey! Did you get switched last minute? I didn't see you in this class yesterday."
"Yeah, I just moved here. Although my twin brother goes here. He skipped a year, so he's a junior. And they mixed up our schedules. So earlier I walked into an AP Calculus class, before I came in here." Jason takes a few deep breaths trying to continue talking.
"So what's your brother's name?" KC says shyly.
"My younger twin brother, his name is Jai Hendrix. And then we have an older sister, Helen. She's a senior. That's it." I start to speak, but we're interrupted by Mrs. Borrow.
"Alrighty, class now that we've let that the late birds stream in let's begin with our introductions. Converse with each other. Talk about what classes you took before this one. And when you're done we'll begin with a mandatory assessment. Alright, GO!" We start where we left, with me beginning to speak.
"So why'd you move here, of all the places you could've gone?"
"My parents past away last month." He tilts his head down. Almost tearing up.
"I'm so sorry!"
"It's fine. My siblings and I are staying with our grandparents, who live in this town." We all sit in silence for a couple seconds. Until one of table members started talking, I think his name is Adam.
"How's your parents die?"
"Um, apparently they were in a cult and someone in town found out about it. And ambushed them with police force. And well, they were killed."
"Was your family apart of the 'Church of Davey'?"
"Yeah, I think so."
"That cult was killed for having a werewolf child among them. It goes against a majority of their commandments."
"Who was the child?"
"I don't know, someone named Jacob Lycan. His father skipped town right after it happened too."
"Who's his father?" The ongoing questions flow. I wonder too much about people's lives. Which is probably why I don't have one.
"The father is a junior who goes here!"
"How do you know so much, Adam is it?!"
"I'll tell you after class, that is if you have first lunch.
