"What?" I say with my mouth hanging open.
"I know right, calculus BC is insane" Geneva says with a sad look on her face.
We both walk into the classroom but none of the other students pay any attention to us.
"This is insane" I say to myself but Geneva hears me
"I know right" she says with a pout.
Apparently there are three other boys all huddled up around a desk. They're very focused on whatever it is they're doing that they don't notice Geneva walk up to them.
"So, have you guys found a solution to this shitty assignment" she says as she plops down in a chair and looks at a textbook.
I look around the classroom quietly. With a frown on my face I walk up to the board. I see two questions written on it. "Must be their assignment" I say to myself.
"You know we can't afford not to do this" one of the boys says
"We've had since the holidays to do it but we haven't found a solution" Geneva whines.
I pick up a marker, face the board and start solving it. I felt like since my day was practically a waste and I was dying to do something, why not help them out?
"Alexa, I'm sure you're bored by..." Geneva pauses
"What are you doing?" She asks
"What does it look like I'm doing?" I reply still facing the board.
Finally done I step away from the board and turn to face a gaping Geneva.
"You might want to close your mouth" I say patting her head.
I reach for the nearest seat and watch all of them gather around the board. I pick up my schedule and look at it again.
"Calculus BC" I mutter to myself. "This is my next class" I say quietly.
"She got it. That's exactly what's at the back of the textbook" one of them says.
"What the hell. We've been trying to solve this for ages and she solves it in less than five minutes" says a boy with round rimmed glasses a frown evident on his face.
"Geneva, who is she?" An Asian boy with long tousled hair asks
"Who are you?" He then turns to face me
Still looking at the schedule in my hand I reply
"You're THE ADV 5".
Just then a short stouty middle aged man wearing a grey suit and tiny round glasses walks into the class. He has white hair all over his head.
"Settle down everyone, we have quite a lot of work to do today" he says in a loud hoarse voice. Everyone scurries to their seats, Geneva taking the one next to me.
He picks up a paper and says
"Alexa Whittier" I get up from my seat and walk to the front of the class. I knew he wanted to introduce me to everyone.
"Ah, yes. So, Alexa is the new student and she'll be with us for a quite a long time" he smiles at me and gestures for me to return to my seat.
Everyone pretty much gapes at me. In my head I'm smirking like a fool but on the outside I'm stone cold like always. It feels so good when you get people's attention like that.
"Finally, another girl apart from me" Geneva grins as she does a victory dance in her seat.
"I see you've already solved the assignment" the teacher looks at the board with a frown.
