Enter Sarah Vyacheslav
"Bye honey! Have a good day at school," said Sam's mom.
"Bye Mom! See you after school!" said Sam. He got out of his mom's car and walked towards the school. He saw Fred doing some tricks on his skateboard while Joe sat on the stairs and came up to Sam.
"Hey Sam!" said Joe.
"Hey Sammy! said Fred.
"Hey Joe. And Freddy," said Sam, looking at Fred.
"Hey don't call me Freddy!" exclaimed Fred.
"Well, you addressed me as Sammy!" claimed Sam. He hates it when people call him Sammy.
"Okay, look guys. We don't have time to argue, so Sam, if you don't call Fred Freddy, will you, Fred, not call Sam Sammy?" said Joe.
"Alright, fine," said Fred.
"Fair enough," agreed Sam.
"Okay, subject change. I had trouble with the science lab report. It had something to do with dichotomes," said Joe.
"You mean the dichotomous key right?" asked Sam. "That's easy."
"Yeah, easy for you to say," said Fred.
"Come on! What's so hard about it? All you have to do is cut out the chromosomes, match them together and paste it on a blank sheet of paper. If the dichotomous key has more or less than 42 chromosomes, it means that someone who has the same or similar dichotomous key has something wrong with them like Down syndrome, which we have to identify what it is and include in the lab report," explained Sam.
"Here you go again with the Science jibberish. I'd rather kick a soccer ball than be in Science class," sighed Fred.
"Yeah. Enough is enough. You can talk more in Science class once we get inside the school," said Joe.
"Very funny," said Sam as he walks inside the school's main entrance with his friends Fred simply shaking his head about Sam and Joe rolls his eyes.
RING! (school bell rings)
...
" Good morning class. I would like all of you to hand in your homework from last night," said Miss Woods (The Time Warp Trio's Science teacher).
" You mean the one about having kids before we're even grownups?" joked Fred, smirking.
"Fred, the material I'm teaching you, as well as the class, are essential for other Science classes in varying levels of difficulty. If you were to do a Science course in grade 12, you would be expected to know most of all the learning material taught in this class and others in as well," explained Miss Woods, calmly.
"Um, excuse me," said a girl's voice.
Everyone turned around to the entrance to find a nervous young girl with short black hair with angel wings and brown eyes carrying a school bag in her right hand. She was wearing a white blouse and black skirt with drooping socks and loafers. She looked just about Sam's age.
"I hope I am not too late Miss..Miss..," she stammered.
"Miss Woods. And you are?" asked Miss Woods.
"Sarah Vyacheslav and I am a foreign exchange student from Moscow, Russia," said the girl.
"Moss cow?" asked Joe.
"Moscow is the capital of Russia. She must be Russian," said Sam with looking at Sarah.
"Just like you Sam," said Fred.
"Part-Russian!" corrected Sam, pouting (again).
"Whatever!" (Fred).
"Welcome to our class. Class, I would like you to say hello to Sarah Vyacheslav," said Miss Woods.
"Hi Sarah," chanted the whole class.
"Hi everyone, It's nice to meet you all," said Sarah.
" It must be her first time coming over to America. She's pretty shy," thought Sam.
"It's nice to meet you too. Please take your seat," said Miss Woods.
Sarah went to find a desk near the front behind Fred's desk but did not notice Fred's schoolbag, which he had carelessly dropped it on the floor near his desk. She tripped over it and fell flat on her nose. The class laughed while Miss Woods and Sam went over to help Sarah up.
"And clumsy. Well, I'll just have to get used to her," thought Sam.
