*Is it true when people say "when things change inside you, things change around you" But why things have to change, can't they just stay the same. Don't they know change is worst because I've  been through it........*

"Elise, Elise! Umm hello, earth to Elise." Albert, waving his hand on my face.
"Aaaargh, geez. You scare me" wait, am I daydreaming just now. That could never happen, can it?
"Oh I'm sorry, I did mean to. So did you want to participate in?"
"Participate in what?" I'm totally clueless.
"To be an honor court member"
"Honor what?" Honor what now?
"Member of honor court, so each time we have an honor court session you can defend the offender."
"But isn't honor court member-only opens to the boys?"
"Not this year anymore, don't you hear what is Mr. Octavia babbling about for the last couple of minutes?"
"Uhhh, no"
"Okay, well this year we have an exception. Girls can be a defender but can only defend an offender that the same age as the defender"
"Okay"
"And a bonus, it gives us extra credit for college admission"
"That sounds interesting, sure I participate it" I mean it just being a defender to an offender. What's the worst problem that the offender can cause, anyway?
"Here," he gave me a clipboard with a paper clip on it. Surprisingly, the paper we're kinda fancy with all the font and stuff. There's writing, Member of The Honor Court. The meeting starts at 4 p.m. sharp. The students who participate will be permanent until the end of the year.
The list we're almost full, I bet they all participate just want to get that extra credit. I mean who won't? It's an opportunity. After I wrote my name on it, I read a few names on the list. Just to make sure that I know some students that I will be working with in the future. Then I spot a familiar name, very familiar. Albert Kimberly. I don't know he participates, I thought he doesn't like this kind of stuff.
"Albert, you didn't tell me you participate."
"Well, first. My dad wants me to be a lawyer and be a member of the honor court can be an extra practice. Second, who doesn't want extra credit? It's a great bargain." Told ya, extra credit we're the reason. I mean who won't?
"I don't know you're a Mr. Future lawyer"
"Well, my father wants me to be. He starts sending me to summer school since last year just so I can study law."
"That sounds.......interesting, wait there's a summer school that teaches law for a 16-year-old student?"
"Not law in general just some subject like political science, psychology, and history. " He answered back.
"That's a lot of subject for a 16-year-old student."
"How about you, I thought you're Ms. Future doctor or something?"
"I rather don't wanna talk about it." The truth is my parents also send me to summer school but I just keep it quiet.

"Ms. William Mr. Kimberly!" Oh no
"Care to explain what you both are talking about" Mr. Octavian continued.  Oh no, please don't give us demerits.
"Oh, Mr. Octavian. We both just discuss the participation in the honor court, Sir." Albert answered. Thank god.
"Right, well you both can discuss later. Now, please pay your attention"
Right Sir," we both answered.

As the minute pass by to an hour, Mr. Octavian starts to challenge our boredom. Mr. Octavian is our geography teacher. He is known for his French accent and his expert on culinary fields. So instead of teaching, he likes to spend his time in the school kitchen helping the kitchen staff preparing foods. But other than that, he is just our boring orthodox teacher. Then the school bell rings, "Cringgggggggggg,Cringggggggggg,Cringggggggg" wait is that a new bell. Wow, the school has made a lot of improvement this year, I'm impressed.

"Student! Before I let you all out, homework will cover 15 questions from chapter 1 and I want you all to draw the United States of America map." Mr. Octavian demanded. I guess I'll be discovering my talent for drawing tonight. It's just the second day, we already have to draw a map. The perks of being a student here.
