Oh hi! I'm back! I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Jacquelyn but most of my classmates call me Jace which is my nickname.I know its kind of boyish but I don't care. I am a sixth grader and a part of the worst batch of class in our school but not only that, we are in the SPED section where intelligent pupils are in. I didn't even know why we are here when we don't have the brains to be in here. Maybe its because that we have the intelligence but we just wasted it in doing random things.
Meet My Classmates for Six Years.
There's Travis. The almighty Travis, respected by its servants I mean friends namely James, Mark, Roger, and Kazimir. They are mostly the reason why we are given the title. When those five starts doing foolishness inside the classroom then the majority of our class follows. James is known as the one who spits out random words out of his mouth when the teacher has her discussion. Mark has the brains but when Travis comes into the picture, he could change into a different person. Roger the one with the biggest mouth that I hated his laugh and he is like deaf because even if you slap or shout at him, he would just continue to talk. Kazimir is a lazy bun for he passes his projects late and doesn't even care.
"Jace!" I turn around to see my group of friends which are also my classmates waving frantically at me to come over. I walked up to them.
"Hi guys!" I greeted them. Kyla was among them. She is like a sister to me but can be another person sometimes. Then, there's Tricia who is best friend with Alexa but they are slowly drifting away because Tricia started hanging out with Alicia, Athena, and Grace. Those three are like attention-seekers and would flirt with boys but I won't judge them. Cara is also my best friend and she has a crush on Jasper before. There was one time they played 'Truth or Dare' with Julian and she accidentally confessed that she liked Jasper and from then on, Jasper won't talk to Cara but their friendship is now fixed because of Harold. Harold is my other best friend who is always teased by Cara and some of our classmates that he is gay and remember when I said I was the peacemaker in our class? I ended it.
"You looked like you were going to explode yesterday. Are you okay?" asks Cara. No.
"Oh yeah, yesterday. Yup, I'm fine." I replied sarcastically. I took the time to look at our surroundings. I was currently outside in our English park picking up some dry leaves that have fallen from the trees. Julie and Diane were having a deep conversation with each other when Lucas and Carson decided to invade it.
"BOO!" Oh.My.Gosh you could have seen their faces. It was priceless. I must be laughing uncontrollably because my friend shot me a confused face and I pointed out at Julie and Diane. They were already chasing Lucas and Carson for revenge.
"Their.....face.....priceless." I say in between giggles. Another fun thing happened was that Diane tripped over a rock and caught Lucas and now, they were both on the ground. Carson even had the chance to laugh at his friend but Julie stumbled upon him sending them both to the ground like Lucas and Diane sending my friends and I into fits of laughter.

"....................daughter of former slaves. I came from the cotton fields of the south. There, I was promoted........................" Mae a.k.a. Madam Claudia said. Mae has the highest ranking in our class and treated with respect. I didn't get it as to why they treat her like a princess.
Mae and some of my classmates like Nina Athena, Tricia, James, Alexa, Zachary, Eliza, Alicia, Loui, and many other are practicing our one act play to be presented this coming Friday. The ones who weren't part of the play were just doing some random things while listening to them practice on and on.
" Okay! Have a 5-minute break." The teacher went out of the room to talk to the other teacher in the other classrooms. I think she said they would be talking about the criterias for the play. Why we need the criterias you ask? Well, November is known as the English month and to celebrate that, our school decided to conduct a program where the contests will be held. Each grade will be given each presentation and ours was the one act play. Each section from each grade will participate and it is like a contest between sections and as the SPED section students, we have to win to prove that we are worthy SPED fast learner students.
" Hey Jace!" greeted Nina. Nina is also my best friend. I haven't told you about her yet because she hadn't arrive when I introduce you to my classmates. She was absent yesterday so she haven't seen my stressed face yesterday. Nina isn't like the trio (Alicia, Athena, and Grace) who flirt at every boy they see. I kinda like her because she understands me very well.
"Oh hi Nin. How's life?"
"Well, you know, full of dr---
Born to a throne, stronger than Rome
A violent prone, poor people zone
But it's my home, all I have known
Where I got grown, streets we would roam
Out of the darkness, I came the farthest
Among the hardest survival
Learn from these streets, it can be bleak
Accept no defeat, surrender we treat
So we struggling, fighting to eat
And we wondering when we'll be free
So we patiently wait for that faithful day
It's not far away, but for now we say
When I get older I will be stronger
They'll call me freedom just like a wavin' flag
And then it goes back, and then it goes back
And then it goes back, oh
So many wars, settling scores
Bringing us promises, leaving us poor
I heard them say 'love is the way'
'Love is the answer,' that's what they say
But look how they treat us, make us believers
We fight their battles, then they deceive us
Try to control us, they couldn't hold us
'Cause we just move forward like Buffalo Soldiers
Oh no. They aren't. They will be dead by meat.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" the teacher's voice echoed through the classroom.
"We were singing." Nikki muttured sheepishly. I hear Brielle, Jaden, and Axel snickering behind while the others were trying to control their laughter but failed miserably. My classmates burst into fits of laughter and the teacher's face turned red because of the anger she's holding.
This is my school life.
Meet my idiotic classmates.....

MizahYou know what? Being classmates with mute people is even harder with normal ones but what is harder is when the people with the biggest mouths are known as your classmates. People who shout even when reading. People who are attention-seekers. People...
