Finding Myself

Chapter Three

I woke actually happy to get back to school. Calum had also given me his number last night making super happy. Jane and her husband, Sully, question me about the joyfulness when I skip downstairs. I sat down next to Jane and sat my plate down.

"How was the ultrasound, I forgot to ask last night."

"We find out the gender of the baby." She smiles at Sully then me.

"Great! What is it?"

"You will have to wait until the baby shower to find out ,little sis."

Jane drives me to school after truly crushing my dreams about knowing who my future niece or nephew will be. I close the car door and look for my small group of friends. Ali glances at me and roll her eyes. Instead of going and facing her, I go to into another set of friends that I have. The nerds of the school. They don't say much except for a few words. Jimmy Arnold, my tutor, walks over to me with a smirk.

"So little Norm, what made you decide to join the Nerds?"

"When I got into an argument with my best friend." I reply side hugging him. Jimmy chuckles and sits down next to me.

"So I heard this rumor about you," I raise an eyebrow, "Did you happen to catch a ride with Calum yesterday?"

"Yeah, it was raining. I had no ride home and he just happen to be there." I respond, nobody was there yesterday to even seen me or Calum. Not like it matter or anything. Jimmy shrugs and changes the topic into what happen between Ali and I.

Ali doesn't sit next to me in class. It bother me really bad, but seeing her talking to some other people pretending I'm not there shows me how much of a bit*h she is. Mrs. Crumbler demands us take out the essay she assign us the other day. I give her the paper and laugh when Ali says "I didn't do mine." She's never good at writing papers. The new lesson is about something dealing with French.

"je sais déjà français Mme Crumbler."says Ali in French. (I already know French Mrs. Crumbler). Just perfect so we have Ali- the French Professor.

"Magnifique . Peut-être vous pouvez enfin obtenir une bonne note." Mrs. Crumbler says back, shutting up Ali. (Wonderful. maybe you can finally get a good grade).

"Alright, Class. Let's start with the basics."

Drama comes around which I'm pretty happy about since we get to go over the lines today. Haley has this confident look on her face, so does the other girls in the class. Calum enters the auditorium and sits next to me with Luke.

"Hi Calum, Luke." I address them both.

"Wassup Hazel the Gigglemonster," Luke jokes.

"Do you guys know each other?" Calum questions.

"Yeah, my sister works with his mom." I reply. Calum nods as Ms. Foster steps to begin class.

Ms. Foster calls all the Juliet try outs to the stage. She gives us the line to go over and present to the class. Asking who wants to go, both Ali and Haley speaks up. Haley glares at Ali who backs up to let Haley go. Haley goes over the line with some minor flaws, Ali goes next.

"Looks like you don't take after mother." Ms. Foster comments, shaking her head in disappointment.

"Is there any possible thing I could to improve?" Ali asks fidgeting with her hands, a thing she does when she's antsy.

"Yeah. Take some acting classes. NEXT." I glance over to Ali to see her with tears in her eyes. My turn goes after a couple of girls who can't even pronounce half the words.

"Sweet, so would I:

Yet I should kill thee with much cherishing.

Good night, good night! parting is such

sweet sorrow,

That I shall say goodnight till it be morrow." I say.

"Perfect, splendid. Just keep that talent until tomorrow. You don't know how many people lose that spark over night." Ms. Foster comments, I earn glares from people, but I stand tall and proud.
