La cima middle school can be broken down into three buildings the main building the mpr and the office. This story will take place with in the main building which is on the second floor in the two hundred there are 4 halls. The halls are: The one hundred, two hundred, three hundred and four hundred halls. It was in the room 210 7 period it was a Wednesday afternoon it was very hot out and there where no clouds in the sky. But within the room it was cold and dark the air conditioner was set on hi and the shades where closed. There was a picture on the television monitor. A movie was playing and the room was silent you could here a pin drop with in that classroom every eye was on the television screen. The room its self contained everything you would expect to be a sixth grade teachers room. The contents was: 30 or more student seats a teachers desk a office chair(the teachers) many posters on the walls 2-3 desks along the walls laden with boxes of school supplies and several posters on the walls. As for living creatures the room contained myself and friend Dustin the teacher (the name escapes me) and the rest of the class.

The entire room was concentrating on the movie which consisted of the history of the English language it explained how the English language had mainly come from Britain where the original Americans had come from. The students for one reason or another where all very hostile for the reasons teenagers all ways are. And because of this hostile nature just about anything will send will enrage these children and set them emotionally out of control. Such as some suddenly screaming a curse word while they are entranced by in a movie. For many reasons curse words are forbidden to be spoken at school of coarse many students still did when the parents and teachers are not around. But even if the students do not really care if a curse word is spoken they will most likely make a big deal about it. Just to bring just to keep themselves some small bit of interest at the school the curse word just happened to be uttered near by my seat and as one of the new students it was thought right away that I must have been the one how uttered the word. As they screamed and pointed in my direction I was forced to look back at my time at Nash elementary school during that time the things that happened to me gave to me no reason to trust in anyone except for my family and the adults. There for at that time and the time that followed I had no friends that where my age this made my time at Nash a very awkward time even those how tried to befriend I could not get myself to trust them.

But that had changed about one week into my time at la cima middle school I meant the person that would become my best friend. Now I was lucky to have Dustin within my 7 period classes. If he had not been there I may have lost all trust within my fellow students but something that I had never expected happened Dustin stood up for my and convicted them that I was not the one who uttered this word. And that was the point because of that small thing that Dustin did for me I was able to trust people of my own age more then I could ever have done before.
