Madison's Story

Chapter 3

Dad was right, it was only a 15min drive, I don't get what's so bad about the school, it looks all right to me, Brad says as we get out, "Remember that all four of us need to check our schedule to see which of us has class with Maddy." I roll my eyes, getting out of the car with my bag slung over my shoulder, I walk away and into the school. For some reason, everyone's eyes is on me, I try to ignore it and go to the office. The secretary look up at me and asks, "How can I help you?" I answer, "I'm Madison Blair, here to pick up my schedule." The secretary asks as she finds it, "Where's your brothers?" I answer sighing, "I left them arguing in the car, over protective brothers are no fun." I smile as she hands it to me, she laughs and says handing me the map of the school, and my locker number, as well as a transfer slip, "Well I know what those are like, been there, done that."

I smile and laugh, and say walking out, "Wish me luck with my brothers." She laughs and says, "I will." I walk out, and go find my locker, 3313, 3314, and here's mine, 3315. I sigh and start doing the combo, I pull on the twice, and....it doesn't open, I try again, but still it doesn't open, I growl at it, actually growl. I cough, holly crap, where did that come from? It finally opens and I do a little happy dance, I put my books and binders in my locker, well the ones I don't need.

I have English right now, in room 223. Which is down stairs on the second floor, I run down the stair and search for 223 with Mr. Coates. I find the classroom and knock gently on the door, a man's voice calls through the door, "Come in!" I open the door and poke my head around it, Mr. Coates frowns and asks, "Can I help you?" I hold out the transfer slip and his frown turns upside down, he asks, "Pop quiz, who wrote Romeo & Juliet?" I answer automatically, "William Shakespeare, he also wrote, Hamlet and A Midnights Summer's Dream." His smile brightens and asks, "Which school did you come from?" I answer shyly, "Amber Fire High."

A girl says from her seat, "Should have known, she's the star artist and nerd." I frown and say as a comeback, "Just because I choose to study, and use my brain, so I won't ever end up like a neanderthal like you." She says angrily, "What'd you just call me!?" I answer, "A neanderthal, a cave woman, who has barely any brains." She stands up and says angrily, "How dare you! Do you know who you're talking to?" I smile taking a seat right in front of the class, "Yep! A neanderthal!"

She storms up to me and says warning me, "Better take that back! Little She-wolf! or else!" I ask as the teacher calls down the hall for a Titus Flare, "Or else what?"
