" Good morning students,"
Mrs Jensen greeted us with a nasally voice. She sounded like the stereotypical annoying but strict teacher you would see on television. I sat down at my table, and said hi to carli, my desk/lab partner.
" today, we'll be learning about....."
I spaced out.
I doodled in my science notebook for quite a while.
".....ari?"
Holy crap.
The forbidden happened.
I was called on.
" um, could you repeat the question?" I asked sheepishly..
" if you had paid attention, you would have known the question. Class? What was the question?"
This isn't Dora , bitch. It's science class.Silence.
" max? Could you tell ari what the question was?"
Max? Really?
"Um,"
He looked at me and turned pink. He hated answering questions.
" what makes up a star?"
Dumb question.
"Um,"
The bell rang.
I could breathe now. Saved by the bell.
Max walked to me and observed my science notebooks.
"Nice drawings" he said, then smiled , flashing his new braces then walked out.
Oh god.
Note to Marie:
I have made max to not be you know who, but a character of my own. You know who will show up soon. So will your you know who.
