A guy named Ann

Chapter 2: If They Could Understand

Warning of one maybe offensive word? that can be found being said at any school. you have been warred!

We left off with me walking away. Well I arrived at class, room 72, walked in and took my seat in the middle of the room. Mr. Thaller walked in and began his lesson.

~~~<>~~~<>~~~<>~~~<>~~~

After class I stopped at my brother Cash's locker and grabbed his extra polo. When I arrived at the bathroom to change I sent him a message saying how I spelt coffee on myself and took the extra green polo.

My next class was LA , my worst subject, I sat next to the far window where I could daydream. Class was normal. Mrs.Penny Assigned us a book report. The rubric is 3 pages, any book from the school library and it needs to be done before thanksgiving break. Easy for me cause I have read and made book reports of nearly every book in that library.

Next is the best hour, lunch, but before I could go to lunch I heard on the PA system " Can Ann Patatolie come down to the office." As I walk I hear the usual "Don't be a slut" and "This isn't working out Brandon" from the other kids in the hallway. When I got to the office I found a bag with Ann Patatolie written on it. The content was a white blouse with flowers embroidered on the bottom.

I went to lunch and found my group. "Where where you Alex?" Said Jasmine.  "My mom got me a blouse to use for pictures."    "Just say you got your pictures done before you got the blouse."James suggested. "Sure like that would work."

After lunch I was called down to get my pictures taken. Like always my mom ordered 5 of Cash, 4 of me and 7 of Sara. "Face front" *click click* "Smile more" * click click* " turn your shoulders to the right but keep your head at me" *click click*. Just like always.

It's finally the class I've been dreading. CHEMISTRY. Not only a test that's worth 25% of the final grade but also Lixx won't be at school because of a swim meet.

The papers are passed and we start. 10 minutes pass 20, 30 then "pencils down". I finished the test and turned the paper in. Next I have my free hour and go to the library to find witch book report to turn in. The Fellowship of the Ring, To Kill a Mockingbird, Moby-Dick, or Sanditon.

Well The Fellowship of the Ring was about how one ring, that has been lost for centuries, rests the fate of a civilization. But fate has rest it's hands in a young Hobbit named Frodo Baggins. Frodo then becomes the one who inherits the ring and plans a quest to destroy it where it was foraged , the fires of Mount Doom.

To Kill a Mockingbird is about six-year-old Jean Louise Finch in the slow town of Maycomb Alabama. And the discussion of issues like rape and racism. Wile adding warmth and humor.

Moby-Dick is about a sailor by the name of Ishmael and his obsession of Ahab. A captain of a whaling ship Pequod. Ahab is seeking revenge on a white sperm whale by the name of Moby-Dick that bit off ha leg from the knee down.

But Saditon is about Charlotte Heywood, the oldest of the daughters in a large family. Where after Mr. And Mrs. Parker get injured and need to stay with Charlottes family. Charlotte then gets invited to the town of Saditon where she finds love and friends.

Before I got a chance to choose my time was over and I had to race to woodshop. Then to SS and finally Art. Where I could finally unwind and be me.

I've been working on a painting and a sculpture. The painting was a butterfly it had a pink outline with soft whimsical lines and a darker straight edged lined middle. Wile the sculpture was a body showing the beautiful parts of women and men.

The last bell rang and I cleaned up to go meet James and Jasmine outside. But before I could leave Mrs Woodward came up to me and said "As you know we have a Art competition before thanksgiving. Well I was wondering if you could put in some of your art in the competition?" "Well..." I started but before I could answer she replied with. "You don't have to answer now just think about it." "Ok."

~~~<>~~~<>~~~<>~~~<>~~~

"Where have you been?" Questioned Jasmine. "Let Ann have a life outside of us Jasmine. But what happened? You've been waiting us up!" "Well about that Mrs Woodward asked me to put some art in the thanksgiving competition." "Really! That's great Ann" "You should totally do it! Your family would be thrilled." Jasmine said. "Yah. I guess?"

~~~<>~~~<>~~~<>~~~<>~~~

"Hey Mom I'm home!" "Finally, you're late. Where have you been." "I'll tell you you and the rest of the family at dinner. Talking about dinner, what's for dinner?" "Nothing much, just ravioli." "Ok, I gotta go talk to Cash. Also I got the blouse too late. Bye!" "What?!"

I climbed the 3 flighted staircase to Cashes room. Past Sara's, Andrew's old bedroom before he went off to college. Past mine to Cashes. I knocked *knock knock knock* "Cash, can I come in?" "Yah" he replied. "Thanks for letting me use your shirt." "No problem little sis." I know he ment well but him calling me sis stung but I don't know why.

"Kids! Come downstairs for dinner!" "Ok mom!" I yell. I put away my school backpack and joined the family. "Glad you joined us." My mother said. "Let us say prayer" my father suggested. "In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. We thank you God for our blessings and this food Amen." We all chanted in unison.

"So Ann you had news. Care to share?" "Sure? Well Mrs Woodward asked if I wanted to take part in the thanksgiving art show." "That's great!" Cash exclaimed. "So what did you choose?" Sara asked. "I honestly don't know. Maybe?" "Well we support you either way." Said my Dad.

But would you...
