i open the door and everybody's eyes are on me. "everybody finish questions 1 through 10." mr castro says looking at me. "come here miss hazell." i was nervous. for what? "ok so i hope mr polibio and you have studied these past few days, yes?" "ummmm....yes." "ok and has he learned anything? stuck with it?" "i think so?" "great ok then since everything is going well i'd like for you to help him throughout the year if he ever needs help. it's that okay?" i mean i don't really want to but this would mean extra credit right? "sure." i say unsure. "and that's extra credit for every time you guys log that you've studied." "mkay thanks." "you may leave now." i walk out of the classroom, closing the door behind me. phew. my classroom was 7 classrooms down. not too far but not that close either...out classrooms are big like veeerrryy big. i take out my phone and get a text from adam.
adam 🥺: hey pringle meet me by my locker during passing period i wanna talk about something.
pringle <3: mkay see ya.
ohh the i wanna talk about something always had me feeling nervous. it's probably just me but those few words get me all worked up. i walk back into class and sit down. "oh finally you're here bitch, you got a dollar?" awe shit here we go again.

"rosa why can't you bring you're own money? i've already let you borrow $6 dollars this week. i don't have a dollar with me right now, sorry." "you're fucking lying lemme see...open your purse." "i'm telling you i don't have money on me! plus why do you want it so badly?" "so i can go get a slushee." "sorry not today." "dude i swear." rosa was always looking for money. she always came to me, i don't know why but sometimes i just felt like yelling at her. she turns around to look at me once more and turns around and sighs, turning around asking the kid beside her. i felt bad for her sometimes. she has a twin brother with the name adam. class is almost done and adam wants to talk to me. i'm nervous as fuck.
