Math Class

I lean against my locker and start knocking on it with my knuckles.

"What are you guys doing at my locker get out of here!" He screams at us. I clutch my math notebook.

"I'm your l-l-locker b-b-buddy." I explain to him. He stares at me intensely then turns to the silent crowd who are staring at us.

"What are you looking at?" He stomps his foot and everyone flinches. Then they go back to what they were doing.

He puts his arms close to my head so I can't escape.

Jenna squeals and popular guy takes a step back, as if realizing Jenna was there.

Jenna turns around and I see and guy hugging her waist.

"Oh my god hi i missed you so much!" Squeals Jenna. Waist hugging guy smiles and let's go of Jenna to bro hug popular guy.

"Who are you people?" I manage to say without stuttering.

Jenna laughs quiet loudly and introduces the boys to me.

"This is Xavier, and Ethan." Wait so hugging guy is named Xavier and Popular guy is named Ethan.

I awkwardly wave.

"By the way Xavier's my boyfriend so don't get any ideas." Jenna snarls at me. My eyes widen. She breaks into a smile and announces, "come on we have to get to math soon."

I clutch my math notebook even harder and lean down to sling my back pack over my shoulder. She hugs Xavier and leads me through the school to math class. I take a good look around the school.

The walls are made of white stone and the lockers are light blue. The floors are wooden and make creaky noises everywhere.

We rifle through the hallways of my new school.

"W-w-what is t-t-this schools n-n-name?" I ask. Jenna stops suddenly and I slam into her. She starts laughing her high laugh.

"Our school is called Sheldon High. Our school mascot are the Lobsters."
She quickly explains. I nod quickly and she continues pulling me towards math class.

We enter a classroom. The desk is at the front and on the wall is a whiteboard. About 20 desks are set up in the middle and in the back is a counter. The counter is wooden.

"Hi Mr.Mathew, meet your new student Skylar Ruth." Says Jenna as she points at me.

"Welcome, please take a seat." He fixes his glasses by using his index finger and sliding them up his noes. I trudge to the seat next to the window. Jenna looks like she was going to say something but gets cut off by the bell.

Students pile in and everyone stares at me but doesn't say anything except whisper to the person next to them.

Mr.Mathew starts talking about pi until he gets interrupted by the door opening. Ethan stands in the door frame and he immediately makes eye contact with me. I break it by looking out the window.

"Mr. Ridge how nice of you to join us." Snaps Mr.Mathew. Ethan raises an eyebrow at him and smirks.

"Take a seat..." Mr.Mathew says like Ethan is 5 years old. I chuckle softy and Jenna raises an eyebrow at me. After 1 hour of math, which I actually didn't mind but the entire walk back to my locker Jenna wouldn't shut up about how Mr.Mathew talks like a robot.

"Ok next class writing." Says Jenna.
