When I got to my homeroom, I took a seat in the back row next to the window. There were only a couple other students in the classroom so far, so I had to wait a couple minutes before class began.

Once everybody was there, the only thing the teacher, Mr. Cole, did was tell us the expectations for the year. It was really boring. I wondered if this was why Sadie didn't want to go so bad. I noticed the other students seemed as bored as I was. There was even a kid who had fallen asleep! I wasn't sure how the teacher didn't notice it, but the guy just kept on sleeping while Mr. Cole droned on and on.

Finally, the bell rang and everybody went to first hour. I had math first (oh, joy) and because I didn't have to stop at my locker, I was one of the first students there. The teacher, Mrs. Pierce, spent the class time telling us what the year was going to be like. She seemed okay, but a little too eager about math. I think I figured out why she chose her career. [Sadie, I'm trying to tell a story, stop insulting me.]

For second hour, I had history and Mr. Cole, who's my homeroom and history teacher, spent class the same way. I hoped the whole day wasn't going to be like that.

Third hour, I was actually excited for. They have this class that you can choose almost any language you want to learn. I wasn't sure how that worked, but apparently the teacher, Ms. Long, knew tons of different languages. I found that a little weird, considering she was really young, but either way, I was really hoping she knew ancient Egyptian. Easy A!

Ms. Long first told us the languages we could choose from. There were tons! She knew Spanish, French, German, and even ancient Greek. I didn't even know anyone still spoke that. She also knew ancient Egyptian.

There were only two of us that immediately knew what language we wanted take. There was me, and the guy who I recognized as the one who fell asleep during homeroom. I didn't catch his name but saw that he had shocking sea green eyes. He, surprisingly, chose ancient Greek, while I, obviously, chose ancient Egyptian.

This seemed to surprise Ms. Long, but in a good way. She was thrilled to have someone take those two because, apparently, there weren't many people who wanted to learn those languages. I just hoped I wouldn't scare her with my extreme knowledge of the subject.

[Jeez, Sadie, I get it, I have a big ego, no need to get graphic.]

My sister disturbs me. But anyway, most of the other students chose languages like French or Spanish or some other languages. Because it wouldn't make sense to only have one student in a class, Ms. Long decided to combine ancient Greek and ancient Egyptian and have one not-so-big ancient Greek-Egyptian class. I, personally, thought it would sound better if it was called ancient Egyptian-Greek class.

Fourth hour was gym and we ran around a track. I used to be horrible at running, [Shut, up, Sadie], but now I've gotten some practice from running away from monster. I also noticed that the ancient Greek guy seemed just as good at running.

Lunch is in between fourth and fifth hour and all of the grades ate in the same cafeteria. I don't think I have to say the cafeteria was big, but I will anyway. It was big.

I found Sadie and neither of us had really made any friends, so we decided to sit together. [Alright, Sadie, I'll tell them.] Sadie says she talked to some people that were nice but "just so bloody annoying."

Despite having rows and rows of rectangular lunch tables, not a single on was empty.

Not.

One.

What the Ra?

Sadie and I found a table that was only about halfway full and sat down at the opposite end. Again, I saw that the kid from homeroom, ancient Greek-Egyptian, and gym was one of the people at the other end. Coincidence?

I think not.

He didn't really look like he fit in with the others at the table. He seemed confident and determined, like he already knew where he belonged in the world. The others, not so much.

What it seemed like to me was that he gathered a bunch of geeks and loners and made one big outcast-group. It seemed weird that he wasn't popular because he seemed athletic, and it was pretty obvious what the girls who were ogling him were thinking.

So why was he sitting there?

I noticed Sadie looking at him and smirked at her. When she looked back and caught my expression, she rolled her eyes and proceeded the push the sorry excuse for food around her tray.

"Wow, over Walt and Anubis so fast?" I mocked.

"I was not checking him out," She replied crossly, now stabbing the glop, "I was just looking over there."

"Oh, sure you were," I scoffed and she scowled at me.

"So, anyway," I said, because I didn't want Sadie permanently mad at me, "How was the first half of first day?"

Sadie gave me a look that clearly said shut-up-and-eat-your-glop. I sighed and hesitantly put a small piece of the sloppy mush in my mouth. Surprisingly, it was actually edible. Mostly.

I somehow managed to swallow the lump in my throat. "I get to take ancient Egyptian," I told Sadie.

She gaped at me. "Not fair. We don't get to take any languages until next year. By the way, how do they even offer ancient Egyptian?"

So I told her about the whole ancient Greek-Egyptian thing. I was just finishing when the guy from the other side of the table got up and started walking towards our end.
