From Nerd to Badass

chap 10

--A week later--

Today is the first day of school and honestly I am not in the mood to go. I have to sit in a classroom and pretend to listen to stupid teachers who think that they know all. Although, going to school does have its perks. I can torment the people that used to torment me.

------------------------At School----------------------

As we pull up to Webster High, people start turning heads. I guess I forgot to bring our not so fancy cars. Once we park, we got out and walked towards the main office, ignoring the stares and wispers.

Once we got our classes and lockers situated James and I went to Science, our first period, while everyone else had either History or English. We got to the door of the classroom the bell rung for class to start. We took seats in the back trying to avoid attention to ourselves.

"Now today everyone we will do a get-to-know-you science experment." The Science teacher stated with excitment.

"Partner up people. We will be making ice cream with liquid nitrogen. Pick one flavor to share." The teacher added. I naturally tried to be paired with James, but he was taken by this girl who was way out of his league.

As I was awkwardly standing there not knowing what to do, a girl came up to me with a smile.
"Hi my name is Taylor Parker. I think you need a partner. Is it ok for us to partner up?" She asked. Taylor seemed so nice and sweet. I can tell she was not liked by others by the way she was so nervous to speak to me.

Hannah Smith and yeah you seem cool. I would love to be your partner. Is it ok if we go with the mint flavoring though?" I asked. Taylor seems to ponder this thought for a second before smiling and saying that is was no problem and she was going to ask the same question.

As we were making/enjoying the liquid nitrogen ice cream, I got to know Taylor a little more. She is honestly really funny and sarcastic. She told me how both of her parents work really hard and that she practly raised her baby brother. She also told me that her life at school was not that good but she endured it for the sake of her brother. In return I told her of how I used to go to this school but left for reasons.

At the end of class I introduced Taylor to James. It turns out that James made a new friend also. In the end I also invited Taylor to sit with us at lunch so she could meet the others in my friend group. All in all, I thought that first period was fun.
