I say to my friend...
I come into school and I'm looking forward
to fourth period science class
Because that's where my friend Alison is.
Alison is no ordinary friend
she is a teacher.
some might say it's weird to be friends with a teacher.
but if that's the case, I like being weird.
I come in and sit down and sometimes she smiles at me.
But most days she's pretty busy doing all that teacher stuff.
We take some notes, and learn a little bit
after class I write things on her board
things that don't make sense.
"last name+last nameequals Hammock," I say to Alison.
"Where did you think of that," she asks, with a small smile.
"In French class," I respond.
"You're supposed to pay attention in French," she smiles back.
"But I want to let my mind play, Miss name," I say.
Then she looks at me and points to the door.
"Get to math, Stephanie," she says.
