BEING a child of Aphrodite does not mean you are weak. You might be thinking hmm this girl is stupid but no I am not stupid. I am plenty smart. We, the children of Aphrodite get misjudged. We are not giggly blondes that gossip and gossip. Well, at least some of us aren´t. And the fact that I am a brunette helps. My story is tough. That is one word, I could use plenty other words but it would not describe it well.
I was sitting down watching my bald teacher teach. He had blue eyes and a black beard. I had gotten in trouble so many times so I was used to his blue eyes staring down at me. As usual I was reading my book. When he turned I tore my eyes off the book. He did not notice of course. He was very clumsy, he could not even close his door! He had to ask a child to do it for him. He gave me a lunch detention because I was writing in class! Unfair. The point is he is mean. He was a marine and he had tattoos, which I found disrespectful. I am a Mexican, so he probably hates me even more. I sighed silently, doing my work. I put a bookmark in my book and closed it. He asked a question and I raised my hand. He growled faintly but no one else seemed to notice.
"Yes, Nia" he said briskly. "I think the answer is D" I said calmly. The teacher seemed to relax. Oh, I forgot his name. Oh well. Anyways on with the story. The rest of my classmates nodded in agreement. Suddenly the bell rang. I almost cried in relief. I packed up my stuff and left.
I was walking down the hallway and people were bumping on me like crazy. I finally dropped my stuff of and went to Band
Band was pretty fun. We were practicing for the concert for Christmas. I, who play the flute have to sit in the front. Then I saw this boy. I could not describe how he got there. I just knew he was the vice principals son...
