*Ring*

"Oh. My god. I have never run that fast in a school, because I'm about to be late." Rosa smiled faintly.  "And with .2 seconds to spare."

Gracie and Rosa sat in their seats, which weren't far from each other. Gracie sat in the front with this cute boy she says she doesn't like him, then Rosa is sitting a few rows back from Gracie with a super nerdy kid. It's fine. Rosa thought. As long I'm not next to the one dude who always puts his feet on the table.

School started with the normal bluh. Study Hall to Science, Science to Math, Math to English. 

The English teacher, Ms. Robinson, was Rosa's favorite so far. She was her last class until lunch and always let's the good kids out early to head to lunch. 

As Rosa began heading to English class, she spots someone familiar. 

Is that... Noah? Rosa was thinking. Can't be, what would he be doing on the 10th grade side?

Rosa walked closer until she can see for sure is Noah. It is Noah! She didn't know why she was so excited to see him but she was. She started walking to him until the bell rang, and Noah hurried off. Rosa was disappointed but soon realized that she's going to be late for class.

It's fine. Rosa thought. It's Ms. Robinson. She'll understand. 

As soon as Rosa walked in she heard "You're late! Care to explain?" Rosa looked up and saw that there's a substitute teacher. 

"Um, I uh- went to the bathroom! I really had to go so I went during passing time." Rosa stuttered. A few kids snickered and Rosa blushed.

"Well I will let Ms. Robinson know that you... what's your name?" The substitute teacher asked.

Rosa looked at the whiteboard and saw "Mr. Winston." 

"My name is Rosa Sandoval Mr. Winston." Rosa trembled.

"Sit down. Sorry class, continue reading from your books." 

Rosa was embarrassed as can be. She grabbed her book. 

Dang it. What page are we on?

The person next to her must've read her mind. 

"Page 925." Whispered Jessie, her table partner.

"Thanks." Rosa whispered back. She open the to the page and started reading.
