I walk away and run into... THE AIR! Had you there for a second, didn't I?
I also went to English class. Our teacher blabbed on about point of views in books. I got me to thinking that we are all terrible third person objective narrators to other people's lives.
I muddled through the rest of my morning classes without any profound thoughts.
Opaline grabs my elbow and takes me over to our normal spot.
"Lesson time," she says.
I say with a hint of sarcasm, of course, "Oh, joy."
"Don't be so enthusiastic," she jokes.
"Our we going to get down to business, or what?" I say.
"Okay," she says. "Make sure you're confident."
"You sound like a guidance counselor," I tell her.
"Shush child, be positive," she instructs.
"Now you really sound like a guidance counselor," I explain.
Opaline ignores me and continues. "And get out more. That is all."
"It's over!" I shout a bit too loud.

"Be confident. Simple advice. I should really use it." I think to myself as I walk into Economics. I decide to take it.
I walk over to my desk, sit down, turn to Tyler, and say "Hi!"
"Hey," he says. "Sup?"
"Not much," I tell him. "How bout you?"
"The usual, you know, fighting aliens, defeating villains, and saving the day," he replies. Man, I should have come up with that.
"Saving the day, huh?" I ask.
"Yep," he tells me. "It's awesome. You should try it sometime."
"How do you know I haven't?" I ask. We laugh and joke until class starts. Economics really is a party pooper.
