After I had been saved by the bell,Hope and I made our way into the 12B homeroom, late. Luckily our homeroom teacher was also late, so we weren't in any trouble. As the class was starting to catch up and pick up on the noise there walked in the drama teacher, Miss Matthews.
"Goooooood Morning Beautiful people, well some of you" she joked."Today is going to be a lot of hassle and I want my matrics to have the best possible start to the year. So roll call!"
Everyone made a shuffle to keep quiet, hear their name and carry on talking.
"Daniel"
"Here!"
" Amanda"
"Here ma'am!"
"Annika"
"Here!"
"Hope"
"Here!"
And on and on she went, until...
"Nathan"
"There is no Nathan in this class ma'am!"said Amanda the teachers pet.
"Here" sounded this abnormally tall looking guy with an accent that I can't exactly figure out at the door "Sorry I'm late, I had a bit trouble finding the classroom."
"Its fine, just please go find a seat..." she looked around.. "Behind Annika and Hope." she said pointing in my direction. Hope could not have kicked my shin any faster than she did then. "Ouch!!"
"Is there a problem Miss Malgas?" asked Miss Matthews, drawing the classes attention, as well as Nathan's attention, towards me.
" No ma'am, no problem" I said trying to lay off the embarrassment.
Nathan made his way to his desk behind me but I didn't dare look up. I smelt him walk by and I dont know if it was his cologne or aftershave or what, it just smelt heaven-
"Hi, my name is Hope this is Annika, we will be in your class for the rest of the year!" Hope interrupted my thoughts for an introduction to Nathan.
"Yeah, I figured" stated Nathan with and annoyed tone.
Hope turned around and looked at me silently communicating, 'What the heck is wrong with this guy'. I shrugged to show that I understood what she was silently saying.
"Okay everyone. We will be having assembly in a short while but till then I'm gonna go make a lekker cup of coffee, I'll be back."stated Miss Matthews just before she left. ( lekker is an Afrikaans/ South African slang that mean very good).

It was now the last period of the day, Afrikaans. I hate this subject, okay hate is a big word but I just don't like Afrikaans. It is soo complicated. There will be days where it's not so so bad, then you find out people don't actually even talk like that to each other. I was hoping I could just get this subject over and done with, fast.
"Goeie Môre my kinders!" exclaimed overly excited Mrs Van Der Merwe."Hoe gaan dit met julle?" ( Good Morning my children. How are you guys?)
The class just mumbled back to her wanting to get this over and done with.
"Ja, ja. You guys have to wake up the holidays are over now. Time to do work" That was every teachers opening line before tons of work,so exciting. ( yes, yes).
"Unlike previous years you guys are now that matrics, the seniors, the examples, the leaders. Most importantly you guys are gonna be writing the test that determine your future this year. So we have to start working early and orderly."she stated " I am going to be assigning you seats this year so it doesn't have to be hectic during exam times."
She started at the bottom of the class list and assigned seats accordingly.
"Hope Bivuga and Amanda Benjamin!"
Hope looked beyond annoyed, she looked disgusted at having to sit next to Amanda for the rest of the year. She made her way to the desks and sat as far away as she could.
Amanda was known for being super mean and aggressive out of nowhere and that made her unlikable, the teachers had no idea what she was like outside of class so she got away with everything. Hope knew she woul-
"Annika Malgas and Nathan Luke right at the back please!"
