"Now can any of you tell me the domain and range to problem 11?" The voice of my teacher Mr Condrey droned on. For the
last hour or so I have been stuck in his class going over stuff I'm already done with and know. The only reason we have
been on this subject for so long is because the guys in my class are complete morons.
I glared at Rom, he knew it pissed me off when he purposely acts stupid. Jokes on him though I'm considered Condrey's
favorite so he lets me read on my phone when I want. Rom must have felt me staring holes through him and he turns his
head in my direction. It didn't take him long to realise it was me glaring at him. I could see him mouth the word what,
but I didn't feel like messing with it anymore we were about to get out for lunch anyways.
After a few more minutes of Condrey teaching he stops all together, seeing the guys aren't even paying attention anymore.
Once we see this, we all start to pack our stuff. I walked over to the door before everyone else could crowd it. I pulled
out my phone to text my friends.
I simply asked Morgan and Taylor if they were gonna be at lunch today. I poked my head out of the door to look down the
hall, and I then see the unmistakable mop of red hair that belongs to Taylor. But no sooner than she sees me the bell rings
and I'm almost knocked to the ground by the people in my class. After I regain my footing I turn to see who it was. No
surprise it was Ivy's snobby cousins. And as usual they didn't even acknowledge what they did, just kept on walking.
"I swear one of these days..." I mutter to myself. "Did they seriously just shove you like that?" I hear a voice say behind
me, and I turn to see Taylor standing there. "Yeah, but you know what I'm not gonna let that get to me." I say as I begin to
walk with the flow of the crowd. I then feel my phone vibrate and look down at it. Morgan had texted back, and said simply she
was gonna be in Joe's. I shot back a quick alright and stuffed my phone back in my pocket.
"So is Morgan gonna sit with us today?" Taylor questions me as we turn off to take the long way to the lunch room. We usually
took the short way, but I felt like I just needed some time to walk and think. "Nah, she and the others are going to Joe's. So
guess what happened this morning?" I asked excitedly, and she just shrugs in response. "Oh come on! Don't you wanna guess, just
once?" "With you it could be anything. Like 'my mom drank all my alchol' or 'I finally got a boyfriend'." She answered, and I
just shook my head at her last guess.
"Wait did you finally get a guy? Is he cute? How old is he? Do I know him?" "Jesus, no!" I cut her off mid question rant.
"I'm a one woman show. Have been since day one." Taylor rolls her eyes at me. But doesn't answer as we walk through the cafateria's
main doors and sit down at our table. "You know you're gonna regret that? You do know that right?" She jokingly asks me, and I laugh
at her. "I just don't see the big whoop about dating, it will all end in tears sooner or later." I tell her with a knowing look.
"But anyways back to what I was telling you on the way here."
"So you know how I had to quit at diamond creek cause the season ended?" I questioned her and she nodded. "So I asked Ms. Gragg
if she knew about any part time jobs. And look what she gave me." I then reach into my bags back pocket and pull out a paper, throwing
it over to Taylor to read. "What's it about?" Clearly not understanding what the paper entailed. I grumble and grab the paper out of her
hands. "It a full time job offer to intern for a guy that works for Hyperion." She just looks at me lost, obviously she hadn't heard the
news. "Its a gun manufacturing company. Really nice apparently, pays pretty good too. Only problem, I would have to move there. For however
long the job lasts."
"Dude thats awesome!" She exclaims, but notices the downcast look that came over my face. "Whats the problem? You should definately do it."
"Taylor do you even know where the company is located?" I question her and she just shrugs. "No, I've never heard of it till now. But come
on it can't be too far. What is it at the beach or-" "Its on a space station far from earth!"
She stopped all that she was doing and just stared at me in surprise. "What?" She asks, probably thinking I was messing with her.
"Yeah, if I was to take this job I would have to leave everything behind." I say dejectedly. Taylor stays silent, and I risk a glance
just to see her grinning. "Are you serious?! Thats awesome! Why would you not do it?" She exclaims. I just let out a sigh a hang my head.
"I want to, its just... ughhh." I groan at not being able to explain what I'm gonna do. "I just don't wanna have to basically start my life
all over again, just because of some well paying job." "But look at it this way, you wouldn't have to deal with your parents stupid crap
anymore." Taylor reasons, and I raise my head up at that. "That would be the main reason I go, but I just don't wanna leave all my friends
here along with Kayla." I say to her and she nods in understanding.
"But just think you could always make new friends, and what about the guy hiring you? Is he nice?" She questions, and I shrug.
"I dunno I haven't met him yet. I was supposed to go today and do an interview with him during third." I say to her and she looks at her
phone. "Thats in about five minutes." She states bluntly, and I cover my eyes. "I know! And I'm nervous as all hell. What if he thinks
I'm not good enough?" I say trying to keep myself from having a nervous breakdown.
"Dude you have a awesome GPA, you make straight A's, and you NEVER get in trouble. If he doesn't hire you he is just as immature as the
rest of this high school." She encourages me, and I nod slowly. "Yeah you're right." I say as the bell rings telling us to go to third.
"I'll be fine, besides whats the worst that could happen?" "Yeah thats the spirit." Taylor agrees with me. We then part ways and head to class.
I grab my stuff and head to the library to put my stuff and inform my teacher of where I'll be.
"God this is gonna suck." I say as I enter the library.
