Shannix City: Senior Year

Chapter 17: What a Day!

After a few minutes, I heard footsteps entering this classroom. I looked up and hoped it wouldn't be Mephistopheles. I really don't want to talk to him right now.

I was relieved to see a brunette boy and a blonde girl walking over, holding hands. They must be one of those couples that are of the same year.

I then returned to my sketchbook and started to finish the girl that I was drawing. She looks great. After a while, I did some finishing touches and I'm done with what I'm doing. I put the sketchbook back in my bag and took out my phone from my pocket.

I dialed Persephone's number. I already stored in what was inside my other phone that is in Mephistopheles' pocket or wherever he hid it.

Hello! I might me doing other stuff right now so just leave a message.

Agh! Voicemail? No way. It'd be way to awkward to do that with the couple here. I know Trudy is working right now but I hope she's on break. After 3 rings, she finally picked up.

(Hello, Gertrude Beckett speaking. Who might this be?)

"Trudy, it's just me, Cassie."

(Oh I thought it'd be the school calling me. Might as well put on some professional or serious voice or whatever. Why'd you call?)

"What time are you going to school tomorrow? We could walk together towards the school."

(That sounds great. I'm from the dorms. I'm from Room 25. Ninth floor.)

"I'm from the eighth floor. Number 23."

(So you're one floor away. We could do things together sometimes during weekends. Like watch movies with cheesy popcorns, bake something, or whatever we'd like to do.)

"Sounds great. Are you free on Saturday? We could do that."

(Definitely but I need to go now. My break is over. Bye. I hope I'll see you tomorrow.)

"Me too. Bye." She ended the call and I put my phone back in my pocket. I pulled out my book which is the iPod and started to read for our English Literature. After reading a couple of pages I got tired so I put my iPod back in the bag and rested my head in my desk.

Someone poked my shoulder using its index finger. I groaned after that someone continuously poked my shoulder. I faced that someone.

"What is it?" I then saw Poly and his rude smirk. "How come we're in the same classroom again? I thought this is only English." He grinned widely.

"You do know this is AP English, right? I am also from Section A." I rolled my eyes and once again rested my head in my desk.

"I don't care. AP or not I'm still in a class." I closed my eyes.

"Wake up." He's shaking me. Annoying Poly.

"Shut up!" He continued to annoy me. "You're not gonna stop annoying me, are you?" I sighed and lifted my face from the desk. "You sure wouldn't." looked at the green eyed clown in front of me. "You're like a clown. I hate clowns they're annoying just like you." He pouted and I rolled my eyes.

"Ouch. That's just painful." He acted as if he was hurt like putting his hand in his chest.

"As if you were hurt. Stop annoying me." I got out the book I got from Bookworld and started reading.

"Hello."

"You want to play a game?"

"Do you want to eat?"

"Did you study already?"

"What are you gonna do after school?"

He threw me questions which I didn't mind and I continued reading but he was just irritating so I got my headphones from my bag and my phone from my pocket.

I turned on the Bluetooth and connected it with my headphones while he was still being bothersome. I put on my headphones and started to Shuffle Play the songs of Queen.

I put back the book and started to bang my head as the music blared in my ears. I put the volume on full. Shutting out everything in this room.

A week later.....

Good thing I aced all our quizzes last week. My week has been normal. I haven't seen Mephistopheles. Well, I see him during our AP classes but we never talked. Heyerdhal, Trudy, Persephone, Theo, Zade and I always eat lunch together. Sometimes I spend it alone, not eating, and just going straight to our next class.

It's Tuesday morning and I'm on my way to our Chemistry Laboratory. Margot Parker is back and it's great that she isn't bothering me. Well, during recess she's always caught fighting with a girl.

People invite me in parties but I'm not a fan of those. I prefer tea parties. Crumpets, croissants, and teas. Just very fancy.

"Priscilla has a party on Friday night. Wanna come?" Trudy asked me. She goes to those parties but only for dancing. She drinks sometimes but ends up only being tipsy not drunk.

Persephone always tells me about the parties that she goes with Zade, Theo, and Trudy. They're good friends with Theo. Rosie has been very busy with her other friends but we still go to class together.

"Trudy, you know I don't go to parties." I rolled my eyes.

"Well, just try. It's part of high school, hon." We entered the Chemistry Lab together while our classmates were talking about last week's party. Luckily, I've been partnered up with Trudy.

"And studying is a part of high school, Gertrude." We sat down at our assigned table. I put out my iPod and my big black binder in the table. Trudy was putting her wavy snow white hair into a messy bun as I put on my lab coat.

When the bell rang for third period a student stood up in front of the whole class. She has curly brown hair and I think she's one of the teacher's pets. She's one of the Average Students.

"Mrs. Wilson said she's going to leave us with an activity. She is in a one month leave because of her pregnancy. I think she's left us a couple of activities for a whole month. She trusted me to keep all those activities in a hidden corner in her table. So now I'm not going to waste time. I will be distributing each one of you different activities. As soon as you receive the paper you may now start." She said as she began giving our classmates the activity. I think her name is Noreen Ross.

"Cassie, you're staring at my hair again." She said with a playful smirk.

"Oh, sorry." I replied. Her hair and her eyes always reminded me of my mom's. I miss my parents but I'm lucky I have such fantastic friends.

"Oh, don't bother. You must really like my hair. It's gorgeous, right?" I nodded in agreement.

"You girls coming to the party?" She said as she gave Trudy the paper. We're kind of acquaintances but she's friends with Trudy.

"Of course I am. This girl right here isn't." Trudy said as I pulled the paper out of her hands.

"Not a party girl. Well, anyways you girls have fun with your activity. That's an easy one." She winked at us as we started to make our activity. I'm having second thoughts about her being a teacher's pet maybe she has a clean reputation to keep.

Can't wait for this day to end. I want to make homeworks and chill in my room.
