Sinkin' In

It's Going

Chapter 2

We walk separate ways to class. I go to class and sit down next to the window. I get so bored in class that I start to rock in my chair.
"Alright Gravity..." My teacher Mr. Ross said.
I zoned out. I feel myself falling back. I try to catch myself but it was too late. I fall back and land hard on the ground. I can hear the class laughing.
"Here is an example of gravity class" Mr. Ross said.
I laugh a little but quickly get up. My face starts to get red and I put my face into my hands. The bell rings. I get up from my chair and bump in one of my classmates. His name is Rob. It's his first year at the school and he is very quiet.
"I'm sorry" I say looking up at him because he is about 6'2. And I'm 5'3.
"It's fine." He says walking out of the classroom.
I see him walking alone to his advisory. I walk to mine and he is in there too. I talk to other people I know. I look back at him and he is on his phone.
I go to my next class and I have Misty in there. I go and sit down in my desk next to her in the middle of the class room.
"Hey have you talked to Rob?"
"No, I have one class with him. Why you asked" she said
"Well I bumped into him last class. Like really bumped into."
"Are you serious!" She says laughing.
"Yes...I wonder if anyone talks to him. He's so quiet."
"Maybe you talk to him to get him comfortable to the school." She says
"Maybe I will"
The class starts. Most of the class I just talk to Misty because all we are doing is "busy work".
"What are you doing later?" She asked.
"I have basketball practice"
"What are you doing this weekend?" She asked.
"I'm going to Benji's football game."
"Your such a supportive cousin. I just had him in my last class."  she says.
"I have 2 classes with him. We are always talking."
The bell rings and we go to lunch. I sit with Erica, Misty, Sam and other friends. I heat up my food in the micro and head to the table. I look around and you see all of these different groups. Our school doesn't have the "popular group". Everyone kinda has there own group and its based on who you know. My group is in the middle. We all talk to every and nice, but not like other people who think they are all that. I go and sit down. I take a spoon full of my soup.
"HOTT!" I say and spit the food out.
Everyone laughs.
It's only Tuesday. Still 3 days to go.
