"Gabriella Montez?"
"Here." said a girl with dark hair sitting obediently at her desk.
"Sharpay Evans?" said Ms. Simmens as she checked off the name on her attendance list after Sharpary had batted her eyelashes and responded.
The students of East High had returned to school after their two month summer vacation. Last years issues were forgotten and everyone was glad to be back.
As Ms. Simmens, the senior English teacher, started to erase the words on the board Sharpay giggled as Troy whispered into her ear. Gabriella turned around to notice the two but decided not to make a big deal out of it.
"Is something wrong, Mr. Bolton?" Ms. Simmens had also turned to see what the disruption was about.
"No, Ms. Simmens."
She shook her head in disapproval and put down the eraser. Mrs. Simmens came to the front of her desk. "Okay today we will learn how to distinguish passive and active sentences. The basic difference is that Passive is when the subject receives the verb instead of doing it,"she paused and glanced around the classroom. "A little hint: you all should have taken out your notebooks after 'we will learn hot to distinguish passive and active sentences," she smiled and started writing more information on the board.
After just half an hour of Ms. Simmens's class Alex started to wander off. Her loud voice kept interfering with his thoughts so he decided to start taunting her.
"Mrs. Simmens I don't get it." He stood up at his desk.
"What do you not understand?" she said apathetically.
"I don't get what that is?" Alex pointed to the blank board.
"What?" she said.
"That! The hideous thing on your head. It looks like a birds nest." He laughed.
"I will have none of this. To the principal's office with you Mr. Palovio!" she pointed towards the door. "Seniors…" she whispered to herself.
He smiled at Gabriella as he picked up his things and walked out the room.
Alex Palovio was your typical teen. He had moved from the big city of Los Angeles to the middle of nowhere: Alberqueque, New Mexico. It was his senior year and he didn't picture it like this. To get his point across to his parents he had to show them that he didn't want to be here. His plan was to 'make the best of it' rebel style.
