"Crystal" all of a sudden a loud noise of the bellowing off my favorite teacher-sarcasm-interrupted me of my sleep. I glared at him and looked around and noticed I was the only one in the classroom left. I lifted my left arm to check the time. It was fifth teen minuets after the last bell. Why am I still here?
"Crystal, are you listening to me" I shook my head a waved him off ready to leave.
"Well you would not be in a rush if this didn't involve your grades.." This got my attention I turned my head towards him quickly and motioned for him to continue.
He smirked once he knew he had my full attention.
"Well your grades are slipping and by the end do the year there is a high chance you could be retained." My mouth parted in fear. Who knows what my parents would do if they found out that their one and only child got retained and ruined there reputation if being perfect. I shuddered at the possible punishments.
"Is there anything I could do?" I asked quietly, hope laced in my voice. I looked up at my full brunet headed teacher.
"Actually yes...." I tapped the desk loudly waiting for him to continue so I could just get up and leave this hell hole.
"You have to write to a pen pal for the rest of the year."
"Bu-"I was interrupted.
"No buts, that or get retained."
"Okay...when does this start." I asked
"Tomorrow before school I will have your first letter, you would be surprised what words can do to a paper.."
I left before he got to finish that really long and uninteresting sentence. I said a loud and quick thanks and rushed home.

I threw my backpack onto the nearest sofa and headed for the kitchen. I pulled out some sort of grape soda poured it in a plastic blue cup sat down and watched Vikings on TV for 30 minuets until I heard the annoying rattle of someone knocking on the door disturbing me from my me-time.
I ignored it and waited a few seconds before I found the mental strength to open the door. There standing before me was a curly chocolate haired and tall cutie. I was taken aback by how nervous he looked and innocent I smirked with ideas to corrupt him.
"H-hi I'm h-Harry.." He said quietly looking shyly down at me.
"And I'm Crystal" I said softly and sweetly. I looked at him again savoring his beautiful features. I smiled and closed the door until a large hand stopped.
He took a few deep breathes before speaking again.
"I'm new here and I'm going to westward high tomorrow will be my first day will you maybe help me get around?" He finally stuttered out. I nodded without sound. And waved before closing the door with out audio.
I finished walking Vikings waiting for my mom to get him from work. My mom is a surgeon the best one in town so I rarely get to see her because of her hectic working hours. I dragged my feet upstairs took a long shower and sung to myself before exiting quietly and brushed my long dark hair. I put on a bra and a tank top before starting to count the imaginary sheep inside me head. Again and again until I....
