Mixed Up

Ch. 2 Kol Adler

Before I knew it, it was already the third week of school , and that's when most of my classes actually started. They were mostly boring. But I liked gym a bit.

"Okay, everyone, today we are going to be running the mile." My teacher said. I overheard many students complain, but I just sucked it up and dealt with it. When we started, I noticed how when I ran I felt free. I didn't feel stuck in a basic world. I felt free. Before I knew it, I heard my teacher yell "time!"
"Wow, Camille Gray , you set a new school record ! When someone sets a school record, you get put on a board in the cafeteria," my teacher told me. I didn't really mind, but I walked with her to take my picture while everyone was finishing up.
The next day, I saw a crowd of people surrounding something in the cafeteria. A boy stepped forward, and the crowd seemed to step back. "Is this you? Are you Camille Gray?" he asked me. "Uh, yeah?" I replied. "Come with me," he said, and took my hand.
"What- where are you taking me?" I asked him, while running. We stopped at a track. The track I ran at. "C'mon, race me," he said. "Why?" I asked. "Because, I want to prove I am faster than you. No one can beat my record." he said. "But...I did," I said to him, "and plus, you don't need to prove your self to anyone. What's your name?" He looked at me for awhile. Then, he said " Kol. Kol Adler." "Well you already know my name," I said, "oh, also, I have to get to class." I could feel his stare as I walked to class.
After first and second period, I had gym again.
"Okay class , this week, we are focusing on.... ball dancing !" my teacher said.
Quickly, a hand shot up. It was Freya, one of the , let's say, "popular girls." "Who are we dancing with? The boys class?" she asked, and giggles filled the air. "Okay, okay, settle down," my teacher finally said,"yes, you guys will be doing the dance with the boys class." And at that monent, I knew I was in trouble.
