In the Shadows

Chapter 2: The Transfer

"BEEP BEEP" I'm telling you I should sue because NOBODY should have to get up this early which is 7 o'clock, and I even get up late as possible. Not only is this bad enough but I have to go to school, which just means 8 hours of nothing but wanting to bang my head against the wall. Finally after accepting my cruel fate I get up to face the day. I keep on my pajamas because they are an acceptable Adidas soccer pants and a grey tank. I then toss a plain grey hoodie over my head that I don't plan on taking off. I brush my hair and toss it up in a messy bun because I don't have the energy to do much else and brush my teeth. I finally run down stairs with 5 minutes to spare which is just enough time to make myself a smoothie and I run out to my jeep.

I get to school just as the first bell rings and run to first period. About 5 people either walked into me or stepped on me but at this point I am used to it. One of the cons about being absolutely, and utterly invisible. I pop into my seat in the back right corner about a minute before the bell rings.

"Okay here we go we can do this," I mutter to myself. And.... Ok I'm over it that was fun for five seconds. My first period is Latin and I honestly zone out half the class. I mean it's 7:30 what do you expect?

LAST PERIOD THANK GOD!!! I thought it would never come. I about lost hope there. Out of all my classes if I had to pick a favorite it would definitely be this one: AP Literature.

 I got in my seat in the back corner just as the bell rang. Ms. West gave me a teasing glance and started her lesson. It was a quick lesson on parallel structure, which was just a basic review we were doing for no apparent reason. We finished in a matter of minutes and everyone was soon reading a book silently and listening to music. Yes we are that nerdy. In a matter of minutes there was a knock on the door.

A guy's voice spoke, "Is this Ms. West's AP Lit?" Everyone looked up curiously.

Oh no. No, no, no, eff my life. Guess who it would be? Oh just our school quarterback. NOT OKAY! Calm down Katheryn, he probably just needs something for another teacher. Yeah that's it. "Oh you must be James! Welcome to AP Literature! We just finished today's lecture and are doing some silent reading for the rest of the period. You can copy the notes from someone around you and then read." Really?! Wow I must be getting some karmic punishment. "Oh and James have a seat next to Katheryn! Go ahead Katheryn raise your hand." Wow thanks God, I thought you had my back buddy; I see how it is. Slowly and unwillingly I raise my hand. James gets a confused puppy dog look on his face and he makes his way over. "Hello I'm James." Well this should be interesting.

Well I am a horrible person. I know none of you probably even remember this story because I've been hibernating for so long but I decided I could try to upload and be a good little author. But yeah this is short but there is another chapter so yeah....
