nadir - (n.) the lowest point; point of greatest adversity or despair.

I usually like History class but nothing could cheer me up today. Not even Mr Green's (painfully) bad jokes about the Cold War, which usually make me laugh hysterically. To make matters even worse, I sit next to this girl called Felicia who for some reason wouldn't stop asking me questions about the breakup. I guess word spreads fast. Felicia seemed too interested in the topic so I guess she probably likes Jonah or something. She isn't the type of girl who drives you mad with desire so I doubt Jonah would ever go out with her, but then again, he dated me. After what seems like a thousand questions, I loose my patience.

"Will you just shut up?" I say angrily. Felicia widens her eyes and her mouth drops open.

"Um, excuse me?" she says in disbelief. I know she wants me to apologise or something, but I'm not in the mood today.

"Will you fucking shut up!?" I say a little too loudly. Mr Green suddenly stops talking and everyone turns to us. Specifically, to me.

"Do you mind, Miss Harrison?" Mr Green says as he glares at me. The whole room goes silent.

"I'm really sorry, sir." I say, blushing and looking down at my feet. Mr Green shoots me a death glare.

"Come see me at the end of class," he says sternly, as he turns back to the board and continues the class. Felicia sticks out her tongue at me and I roll my eyes. She's so childish.

At the end of the class, I pick up my things and I'm about to leave the room when Mr Green calls me to his desk. I sigh and walk back towards his desk.

"Take a seat, please," he says emphatically and I grab a chair, "I'm sorry about everything, I'm sure it's been a hard week for you," I shuffle nervously in my seat; I hate it when people feel sorry for me. I've hated it since Mum died and people felt like it was their duty to make sure I knew how unfair cancer was and all that shit. Now it was the same story with the breakup, which wasn't even that big of a deal.

After Mr Green's long speech about relationships and breakups and stuff, I go to my locker. To my surprise, locker boy is there, smiling from ear to ear.
