chapter 11: The race

Sam's pov

After lunch i was making my way to Social Studies. I was walking by my self because everyone left me for some reason.

Then i saw Collin and started to walk faster. For some reason he started walking right next to me. We both started speed walking and it was like a race.

I turned to the corner and he tripped over a empty bag of chips that just happens to be on the floor. I took this as my chance and started walking by he slid the bag in my direction.

I quickly jumped over it and smiled at him. I was just about to walk in when he rushed in front of me and said "I win" then i huffed.

I guess we were a bit late because there were no seats left except two that were next to each other! Collin and looked around the room and our teacher said "take a seat."

I looked at Collin and we both awkwardly sat down. We had to do a packet and the whole time Collin and i were silent. But we soon started talking later.

"Hey you have home and careers right"  Collin asked me all of a sudden. "Yeah" i said

"i really hope i have a boy." He said.

We were doing an egg project where you have to take care of it as your child.

"You get to pick the gender" i said then Collin said "great now all i have to worry about is my partner" Then i chuckled. "Thats true nobody wants a partner who is annoying or you really hate."

"Yeah. That was a fun race."

"It was and next time don't trip."

"It wasn't my fault that the bag of chips was on the floor. I bet it was yours and you dropped it, you cheat."

"No I didn't."

"A cheat, a cheat, that's what you are!" he said while pointing.

But before i could say anything our teacher said "Ms. Anderson and Mr. Laker is do i have to change your seats."

That would be great i thought but Collin said "No were good"

Then Collin looked over at me and smiled.

This boy is confusing me. "Ok i will had out the packets and then it independent work until the period ends." Our teacher says.

I started doing my work. I dont know when George Washington died.

All of a sudden i hear someone whisper my name. I look over and Collin is smiling at me.

"Look theres a Captin America cut out over there. He has a gun!"

"Thats great and all but what does that have to do with me?" I ask him.

"Well maybe h-" Collin stopped and said ow.

Of course i worry but Collin said "He shot me! Its ok ill just take out the bullet"

Then i saw him reach under his shirt and take out a tiny ball of paper.

"Got it" he said then he threw it in the garbage behind him. For some reason i found this funny.

Then the bell rang and i got up and found a clip art of a black and white shoe. I picked it up and said.

"Oh look" then Collin came and said "Thats mine probably anything you find that is black or white is mine"

Then i said "Great i'll keep that in mind" then i patted his quiff and walked away.

I heard a voice in the hallway say "Dont touch my hair." I laughed and went to the next class. Then I realized something. Where are the new kids? They probably ditched. I wouldn't want to go in a new school where there are people I don't know.  We just have to wait and see when they show up.
