"Shit, I am going to be late again!" – said wild blonde with curly hair as she jumped off the bed. Misty Day was for the third time late for school. She knew that Mrs. Thompson doesn't like when her students are late. Misty ran like a speed of light to her wardrobe to get dressed. She grabbed a black pair of jeans and black and white Fleetwood Mac T-shirt. It was 7:35 in the morning and the school bus is supposed to be in front of Misty's house in five minutes. Misty ran downstairs but stopped at the middle when she remembered that she almost forgot her backpack. "I'm going to make it!" – She grabbed her backpack and ran wildly down the stairs. Grabbing the bagel on the kitchen counter Misty ran through the front door. Bus was just about to leave when Misty started shouting "Stop! Im coming! ". The bus driver stopped and let Misty on the bus. He grimaced at blonde girl and said sarcastically "Always on time Miss Day." Misty saw her friend Zoe sitting by the window. "I thought you weren't coming. God knows what would've happened if you were late for Mrs. Thompson's class." – said Zoe with worried look on her face.
"Who cares I' m still flunking. She keeps giving me F for breathing"- with slight irritation in her voice Misty leaned her head on Zoe's shoulder. The two of them enjoyed their ride in silence until they arrived to school. Misty loved her biology and botany classes but hated how Mrs. Thompson treated her. Misty and Zoe were expected by Madison and Queenie. Madison was a blonde and a little shorter girl than Misty, she was often called "Hollywood" by her friends because she was always auditioning for movie roles. They loved her even though she was bitchy sometimes. Queenie is an obese girl with short curly hair but very proud and confident about her looks. She has a sassy attitude just like Madison, sometimes they can't get along and they almost end up getting physical. Zoe is the conciliator in the group; she is a tall very slim girl with long brown hair. Thanks to Zoe they all get along and set aside their disputes and disagreements.
"Hurry up you two, I don't want be late. You all know how Mrs. Thompson gets when someone is late." –said Queenie pulling Misty and Zoe by the arm. "You better not touch me with your dirty hands; I know how to walk by myself!" – Madison said with obvious disgust in her voice. "I wasn't even planning on touching you skinny white bitch!" – Queenie`s and Madison's eyes locked with anger until Zoe told them to knock it off. They entered the classroom and sat at the back far away from Mrs. Thompson. It was 8:00 o'clock but there were no signs of their teacher. "Misty, it looks like she's not coming! This day can't get any better." – Zoe almost jumped out of happiness from her seat. Misty gave a nod and small smile. She knew that this can't be true, deep down she knew that their "favorite" teacher was coming. Misty couldn't be so wrong, as she was playing with her pen in her hand the schools headmaster entered the classroom. Principle Wilson was followed by young blonde woman. She was dressed in black tight skirt and white shirt and was wearing black heels. Her blonde hair was reaching her shoulders.
"Good morning class!" –said Mr. Wilson with his hands on his hips. "I have to inform you that Mrs. Thompson won't be coming today and for the next couple of weeks." The class went wild, every student was celebrating and principle Wilson tried to calm them down. The young blonde woman stood there in shock as students started screaming.
"Enough! Silence! "- chubby principle was already sweating. "This is your new substitute teacher Miss Cordelia Goode. I expect you all behave good as if Mrs. Thompson was here. I'll leave you now professor Goode."- He walked out of the classroom.
Cordelia approached her desk and put her bag on the chair. She took a chalk from the drawer and turned to face the board. She wrote her full name on the board so that students wouldn't forget.
"Open your books to page 78, we will learn about mammals."- Madison whimpered and Cordelia turned to see where whimpering sound was coming from. Unfortunately Misty was met with the furious woman in front of her. Madison got away with it because she was sitting behind Misty.
"Is there a problem Miss…" –Cordelia said locking her deep brown eyes with Misty's blue.
"Day. Misty Day."- Quietly she told. "But Miss Goo…"- she was cut off by Cordelia. "Miss Day you will wait after the class for a little talk. Understood?"- Cordelia carried on with her teaching not giving Misty permission to explain herself.
Misty turned around to face Madison "Thanks Mads, can't believe you put me in detention." Madison chuckled at the curly blonde. The bell rang and students started to leave the classroom. "Misty I hope it all goes well." – saddened by Zoe's words Misty picked her bag up and went to Miss Cordelia's desk.
Cordelia was making some notes as she noticed that someone was standing in front of her desk. She lifted her head to see Misty standing irritated by the whole situation. "Miss Day! Have a seat please."- Cordelia pointed to an empty chair. "So, umm, what is my punishment?"-she decided it is for the best not to argue with the new teacher.
"By the end of the week you will write an essay about human anatomy. Also I want you to be more polite in the future."- giving Misty a genuine smile. Misty nodded trying not to say anything inappropriate, then she stood up and said goodbye to Cordelia.
As Misty left the classroom she went to her locker and put her biology book in. While she was closing her locker she heard her name being called by Zoe. "You are alive! What happened in there?"- Misty shook her head and said she's not in the mood right now. "I told Madison that she must say to Miss Goode that it was her fault not yours."- Zoe sadly hugged Misty. "Don't worry Zoe, everything is going to be fine. Now, let's go to lunch" –she said with an optimistic tone.
