"Nysa Louise Ann Kipton" I hear my name being called out and I suddenly come back into reality. "YES MA'AM" I quickly pull my head upwards banging my knees onto the desk. everyone is laughing at me great job Nysa, you just embarrassed yourself in front of a dozen teenagers. The teacher points his marker at me " Miss Kipton, would you kindly volunteer to show the class about hypervelocity stars, oh and I prefer that you call me MR " I keep my mouth shut and stay silent why the heck did say, ma'am? what's wrong with me! the class breaks out in tears of laughter once more. "SILENCE!" suddenly everyone stops I can feel all eyes locked onto me as everyone waits for my answer, Mr vherton is also waiting for an answer impatiently. two girls are still giggling and whispering behind me. The teacher finally brings down her marker and sits back down on her chair. the teacher gives me a discouraging look "Pay attention Miss Kipton, do not test my patience I've already wasted enough time with you, see me after class" yup he hates me. This is my first day back from the holidays and I am NOT going to mess this up. I stand up and walk towards the teacher's desk to grab the marker "Miss kipton go back to your desk!" I ignore him and start drawing examples and pictures of a hypervelocity star. I straighten my back and with confidence and a loud tone, I say "hypervelocity stars are stars that have been ejected from their systems and sent rocketing through intergalactic space at speeds up to 2 million miles per hour. Most of the hypervelocity stars that have been identified so far are of similar size and mass as the sun but theoretically could be bigger, as you can see I've drawn an example of a hypervelocity star to give you an idea of what they look like". I stop myself from getting too carried away and realize how silent the room is, even the girls who were giggling before are now silent with mouths wide open but very confused at what the hell just happened. But just as i thought i blew their little minds off a guy from the end of the classroom shouts "NERD" and the whole class breaks out laughing... "jerk" i whisper under my breath loud enough for only myself to hear.
"EVERYONE BE QUITE AND AS FOR YOU, GO BACK TO YOUR DESK RIGHT NOW! we do not just stand up whenever we want to, you'll be seeing Mr. Olson for detention at lunch! he'll give your parents a call for me" I drop the marker and sit back down onto my seat just as the bell rings, without thinking I reply "I only have my dad, Mr Vherton". I quickly pack my things into my bag and run out the door before Mr Vherton could say anything else to me. Wow that teacher is such a pain on my ass! At least i know who my most hated teacher of the year award goes to. As I close my locker...."wow Nysa, you have some guts trying to outsmart a teacher" AGGGHHHHH "gosh darnit Jamie!" Jamie is my best friend, we've always been together and even have the same classes together. "I didn't outsmart him he was looking for an answer so I gave it to him" "doesn't sound like he was JUST looking for an answer if you're getting detention from him". Suddenly I feel unsteady, ugh my head hurts. "Woah Nysa are you okay?" Without realizing I find myself on the cold floor suddenly I hear another voice, a voice that sounds familiar. "Nysa, Nysa" is that you...mom?
