i was about to leave class when the teacher pulled me over "Dragard" he said "could you please come here for a moment"
my heart dropped (oh crap i thought i got in trouble again and on the first day no less) "yeah teach" i said with as much pleasure in my tone as i could muster
"are you aware of how rude you were acting in my class" he said looking at me over his glasses with a look that didnt scream to me you are a great kid
"um...............................i'm sorry?" i said expecting the worst
"if you wernt new i would have sent you down to the principles office for 1 being late and 2 disrespecting me infront of the other students" he said folding his arms across his chest
(oh shit please god no) i thought
"but since it is your first day i will let it go this 1 time" he said with a tone that sounded like he would rather have sent me to the principle then kept me in the class
my spirits lifted as i said "thanks teach it wont happen again" and i walked out of the room closing the door behind me and then mutterd under my breath "but i make no promises"and i went to my locker
after i got the stuff from my locker i felt a little creeped out like someone was watching me. i wiped around expecting to see somebody there but there was no one. as i walked up the rows and rows of lockers i heard a scream that made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. i raced up the hallway and around a corner where i saw a boy about the same age as me with his back against the wall breathing heavily "dude whats up with you?" i asked
his head wipped around and there was a look of complete horror on his face that relaxed after he saw me "nothing sorry but did you hear that scream?" he responded
"yeah duh i dont think anyone DIDN'T here it" i said laughing a little
the kid laughed with me and he asked " i have never seen you around her before are you new?"
"as a matterafact i am thanks for noticing" i said cracking another joke " the names Dragard Williams whats yours?" i asked in a questioning tone
"Eric....Eric Winchester" he responded offering his hand which i shook "so where you headed Dragard?"
"chemestry as far as my scheduel says." i said taking a glance at my scheduel
"hey me to!" he exclaimed
"well thats great because i have NO IDEA where it is" i said
"oh do not worry mient friend" he said in a terrable norwegian accent "when you arrrrrrre weeth me you weell neverrrrrr be lost" andwe beggan walking to class.
