Chapter 43

Chapter 43

I walked back inside, taking my seat.  As the teacher started a new lesson, I stared at my paper blankly, getting lost in my thoughts until I felt Blake tugging on my sweater.

"What, Blake?" I groaned annoyed as I snapped out of it and looked at him.

"Who's that?" He said as he pointed at the whiteboard screen.

"How would I know? Just someone we're learning about.. not that important." I said I started scribbling on my notebook.

"Not that important?" I heard the voice of a familiar old man butt in.

"Is that so, Mr. Robinson? You are aware we'll be having a test about this so called 'not important' man, this week, right?" He quizzed as he put his pointer down.

Before I could say anything, he cut me off before shaking his head. "How about you come and tell us who this man is, Isaac?" He said as he gestured for me to get up.

I sighed loudly.
"I'm good."

"I'm not asking you if you want to do it Isaac, I'm telling you to."

I observed as all of my peers' eyes glanced over at me. I sighed once again as I stood up and made my way to the whiteboard.

"This.. is Christopher Columbus." I groaned, a few of my classmates seemed surprised, as if they didn't expect me to know who the guy on the screen was.

"Who is this Columbus dude?" One of the stupid kids had to ask, not because he didn't know but because he wanted to keep me there and possibly make me look dumb, not happening though.

"Discovered the Americas." I vaguely stated.

"He was looking for a route from Europe to Asia but he found America instead. Any other questions?" I asked sharply. The smirk plastered on his face faded and he stood silent.

"Well.. Very good!" Mr. Brown stumbled on his own words for a second, as if not expecting me to know any of this either.
"You may sit down."

I sat down, arms crossed. I turned when I felt a small hand clutch on my shirt.

"I thought you didn't know anything about him, uncle." Before I could respond to that, the bell had started ringing.

"Class is dismissed, I expect you all to be ready for our test that's coming up soon." Brown concluded."Have a good day everyone."

"You too Mr!" One of the classmates responded cheerfully.

"You're smarter than you act." Jonas teased as we walked out.

"Shut up." I scoffed.

"No really, I'm sure at least 70% of the class didn't even know who the guy on the screen was! How the hell do you know this shit?" Jonas asked.

"I'm not trying to fail anymore Jonas." I answered.

"Not because I care about my academics and shit," I began.
"But because I don't want to be in high school forever." I finished my sentence as we walked out of class.

Jonas nodded.
"Makes sense." He agreed.

"Anyway, I don't wanna end up working at a McDonalds." I snort at the idea of it. Don't get me wrong, people have to make money somehow, but I don't think I can handle being stuck at a boring restaurant taking people's orders.

Usually people took MY orders, I wasn't someone that let people tell him what to do. That guy has been dead a long time ago.

"I wouldn't really mind working at McDonalds." Jonas joked, or, at least I thought.
