Chapter two: Classes Begin
It's been about two days and classes are starting for everyone. Today marks the day that the classes are going to be co-ed. This was the time that no one really wanted to do. I was in my room on my laptop replying to an email from my grandma as I saw that Nicole was blowing drying her hair and Dana was still sleeping. I was ready to go when I had to get my class.
Dear Grandma,
Everything is amazing so far, I met some new people. Yeah, today marks the day that classes begins and the day that PCA has their first CO-ED classes. I'm not scared it just like back home with all the other schools. So it's nothing new to me. I just wondered what everyone is going to think about having to be in class with girls. I bet that the guys are going to get distracted. I hope not. Passing the classes are more important than staring at the girls. Well I better be off. I'll message you during my lunch time.
Love Always xoxo
Zoey xoxo
I sent the email and placed my laptop in my backpack and grabbed my books and placed them in my bag. I watched as Dana got out of bed and changed her clothes and left the room to head to class. Or the coffee cart. I couldn't tell you which one it was. I watched as Nicole was still blow drying her hair and I shook my head. I left the room and headed to the coffee cart and as I stood in line a person behind spoke to me.
"It's Zoey right?" The voice asked.
I turned around and there stood the one person I wasn't in the mood to see. I mean he seemed nice but from what Michael said about him two days ago had me thinking. "Yeah and its Logan…right?" I asked him.
"Yup, you got it right." He said looking at me.
I moved as the line was moving. "Is there something I can help you with?" I asked him.
"How about we talk on the way to class and I buy you the coffee?" He asked me.
"You know that seems about a nice price." I thought.
"Sure I would like that" I answered him.
"Maybe Michael is going to be wrong….Logan seems nice." I thought as we arrived at the front of the cart.
"One large coffee extra foam and whatever the wonderful lady likes" Logan said.
"I would like a Large Coffee, extra foam, whip cream and caramel sauce." I said smiling.
"That will be $10.95" The guy said at the cart.
Logan paid him and the guy went to make our coffees. I knew I still had thirty minutes until class started. I wonder if Logan was in the same class as me. I didn't want to ask him in case he wasn't but I would find out sooner or later. The coffees arrived and I grabbed my coffee as Logan grabbed his.
"What's your first class?" He asked me as we walked to the building.
"Mr. Calahan." I said to him as I sipped my coffee.
"I have him too. I can show you the way if you would like" Logan said.
"Sure thing. And thanks for the coffee." I said smiling.
"Anything for a pretty girl like yourself Zoey."
"Umm, thanks. So what did you want to talk about?"
"Well, it's only technically the first day of school, I was hoping that we could sit next to each other in class."
"You know your roommate Michael warned me and my roommates about you"
"What did he say?"
"That you would try and hit on all the girls here"
"That is a lie."
"Well thank you for the coffee but I rather not sit next to you in class today."
"Why?"
"I don't want to rush into anything."
"I wouldn't do anything!"
"I don't know for sure that you would."
I walked away from him and walked to the building and opened the door and went to look for the class. I spotted Nicole and sat next to her. Logan soon followed behind me and I looked at him as he sat in the back. I rolled my eyes and pulled out my laptop so I could take notes. There was a message from Chase. I looked and saw that he was sitting across from me. I smiled and opened the message.
Chase_-Matthews: I saw you with Logan, what is going on between you two?
Zoey-Brooks: Nothing. We bumped into each other while in line for the coffee cart. He wanted to buy me a cup of coffee and I took him up in his offer.
Chase_-Matthews: Oh, I see. Well I hope he didn't try anything.
Zoey-Brooks: Chase, I'm fine. I'm a big girl. Lol.
Chase_-Matthews: Oh Ms. Brooks you think that's funny?
Zoey-Brooks: You know Chase, I can take care of myself. Logan is just like another guy from my old school who is a total jerk.
Chase_-Matthews: Well if you ever need help. You can ask me or Michael.
Zoey-Brooks: Thanks Chase.
~Zoey-Brooks Signed out~
The teacher walked in and I looked at him as we told the class to take out the textbooks and he started to take attendance. I sighed and waited for the time to go by so I can get to my next class. I really didn't want to but next class was gym and I wondered who was going to be in the class. I could see that in my class right now was Logan, Chase, Michael, Dana and Nicole. Those were the only ones that I knew. There were others that I didn't know. I really hopped that I had all my classes with them. It would make this school year so much better.
"Alright tonight's homework will be to read chapter one and do the questions. Don't forget to highlight the important facts." Mr. Calahan said. "Class is dismissed"
I packed up my belongings and waited for everyone. As I thought, I had gym with everyone and then I had a break before heading to math. We all walked to the Gym together as I hopped that the teacher wouldn't let us do anything today. I just hopped that the gym teacher just talked about the class. I was good at gym at my other school but I didn't want to do on the first day of school.
"I hope the coach doesn't make us do anything today." Dana said as we started walking.
"You know the coach might not let us do that. He is hardcore and makes us run like three miles" Chase said sighing.
"Does he really?" Nicole questioned.
"Yeah, He's hard core like that." Logan nodded.
"Gross. I hate running" Nicole stated.
"You'll have to get used to it." I said to her.
"What do you mean?" Nicole asked.
"Have you ever ran at your other school Nicole?" Dana asked. "I know I had to do four miles in gym."
"Of course I ran. Okay maybe not…I walked most of the time" Nicole said sighing.
"You know, Zoey I'm sure you are a great runner" Logan said winking.
"How about I can show you on the track during lunch." I smirked at him.
"You are on Brooks" Logan agreed.
"Alright." I said.
We soon arrived to where class was being held and I looked at the coach. We were early to class. I didn't know what we would do if since we were early. Hopefully we could hang out and wait for the other students until he told us what we would be doing in the class. Mostly just gym stuff, I'm sure. I sat in the stands away from everyone as I looked at my phone waiting to see if I get a text from Dustin. Something inside told me that Dustin was going to be okay and that he wouldn't need me.
"Hey Zoey are you okay?" Dana asked looking at me.
"I'm fine. I just hoped that the other students would come soon so we would know what would be going on in this gym class." I answered Dana smiling brightly.
I looked at my watch hopping that the other kids arrived before the teacher made us do stuff. I knew that there was nothing we could do before the teacher made us take attendance. I saw that Logan moved his seat near me. I rolled my eyes and looked at the sky. The clouds were making there shapes. There was one that looked like a bunny and it was just the cutest cloud I ever saw. I took out my phone and took the picture and it would get uploaded to the PCA webpage for the students. It was where we get to upload status make friends and chat.
"What are you doing?" Logan asked as he watched me take the photo.
"I am taking a photo of the cloud. It looked like a bunny and I love bunnies. But not as much as I love dogs. I have no idea why I'm telling you this" I said to him and looked around and noticed that other students started to take seats in the stands. That must mean that class was going to be starting soon.
"Clouds are boring…" Logan sighed.
"I don't care what you think or say Logan. Looking up at the clouds, watching them take shapes is my favorite pass time." I said to him.
"You know that is just really boring…" Logan stated
"It's not boring, you just don't have an active mind." I rolled my eyes at him.
"Logan you are just the most annoying person I ever met! Just stop talking to me and leave me alone so I know what's going to be going on in the class." I thought.
"Whatever Brooks" Logan said and went to sit somewhere else.
I shook my head and waited to the teacher to talk. Chase came over and sat next to me. There was just something about him that was like a brother way about Chase. The coach introduced himself and took attendance and he told us that we needed gym clothes for the class and that we would start doing an actual gym class tomorrow. I so not looking forward to the gym class tomorrow. Finally he let us go, and it was time for our break before I had to go to math class that I had with Dustin.
I walked with the group as we headed to the lounge room to hang out for a bit. I sighed and took out my laptop as I got to a table. I opened my laptop and logged into it to check my email to see if my grandma responded. I smiled when I saw an email from her and I opened it.
Dear Zoey-Berry,
I'm glad that you seem to be happy starting classes today. Good luck and don't rush into any relationships. I can't wait to see you when you come home for thanksgiving with us. Remember that your grandfather and I love you and Dustin very much. How is Dustin? He is very smart so watch out for him. Miss you two so much!
Love forever
Grandma
I smiled at the email and knew that she would probably ask about Dustin and tell me to watch over him like my mom did. I plugged in my phone so I can upload the picture of the cloud that looks like a bunny. I went on to the site and uploaded. I noticed that I had two messages on the site. One was from Dustin and the other was from….Logan.
Dustin_Brooks: Hey Zoey can't wait to see you in math class!
Logan—Reese: Brooks what was for the English Homework?
I shook my head and knew that I wouldn't answer either of those message. I just wanted to work on the English homework so I would have one last thing to do. I took out the textbook and looked at the stories and sighed as I knew that there was going to be a lot of work to do and I had still twenty-eight minutes left before math class. I knew that there was going to be something that was going to distract me. I looked around and noticed that the group was hanging out and talking as I was alone at the table working on the English homework. The one thing I knew that they thought was that I couldn't hear what they were talking about, but they were so joking. I could hear everything even through my music that I was listening to.
"Zoey seems alone over there, should we get her to come over here so we can work together on the English homework together?" Dana said.
"Nah, leave her be. She probably prefers to be alone." Logan said.
"Logan I don't think that's true" Chase said.
"And how would you know that Chase?" Logan questioned him
I got up and grabbed my stuff and walked over and sat on the chair that was vacant. I smiled at everyone and took out my laptop and opened the word document. "Since there are six questions for homework, we should each do one and then send our answers to each other through a group message" I stated knowing that it would probably be the easiest that way.
"Wouldn't that be cheating?" Michael asked.
"No, we can tell him we worked together." Dana answered.
"Alright then" Michael nodded his head.
We all started to work on a question. I got number 6, Dana got number 1, Chase got number 3, Michael got number 5, Logan got number 2 and Nicole got number 4. WE each picked our own questions and started to work on them. After I was done, I created the group chat and sent my answer.
Zoey-Brooks: Number Six: The author was describing the way the sun looked like every season. There was some changes as the sun was closer on in two seasons and further away in the other two seasons.
Logan—Reese: Number two: The seasons are what everyone depends on. Winter is when some animals hibernate, and during winter we don't really grow crops.
DanaCruz: Number one: The author states that no one really notices but you can see that with each passing year the sun will get darker and the bright warm sunlight that we all love during the summer will be no more as the sun is a star and no one really knows but we all depend on the sun for the seasons.
: Number five: Spring the flowers are in bloom. Summer the leaves on the tree are a bright green. Winter the snow is falling and leaves on the tree are gone. In Winter everything is either cover in snow or not. Finally in Fall there is the leaves are nice gold, red or orange color.
Nicole. : Number four: Spring, Summer, Winter, Fall.
Chase_-Matthews: Number three: To me the best season is Summer. Why? Because there is nothing like going home for the summer, or hanging out with friends. I love to jump into the pools and make a splash. I love to drink some nice cold drinks and relax. Watching movies, going camping and looking up at the stars. This is why I like summer.
"Alright, so basically everyone will have to change the season for number three" Nicole said looking at the number to see what it was about it.
"So are we done here? I have other classes to get to" Dana stated.
"Yeah. We are." I said collecting my laptop and heading out the door to my math class with Dustin.
I arrived to class three minutes before it started. I looked around and sat next to next to Dustin since it was one of the few seats opened. I smiled and he smiled back. The teacher finally came in, took attendance and started to go over the few rules that he had for the class room.
~After School~
I was in my room on my laptop as I was finishing up my homework. I laid on my bed after I finished. Today was a tiring day. It was a campus and not like high school back home where you had one building and just moved from class to class inside the building. Here at PCA there were different buildings that the classes were in. I knew that the one thing I wanted to do was take a shower before I started anything else.
"Zoey" I heard Dana called.
"Yeah?" I asked her opening my eyes and looking at her.
"You wanna go get something to eat?" She asked.
"Nah, I was going to take a shower and then go to sleep." I answered. "Maybe another time"
I got out of bed and grabbed my towel, my bathrobe, a change of clothes, and everything that I needed to take a shower with. I walked to the shower room and knew that this was something that I was dying to do. Take…a…nice…long…relaxing…shower. That would really make my day.
I got to the showers early because no one was there. I took of my clothes and turned the shower on. I hummed a song as I was taking the shower. After about a good ten minutes I was good to go. I got out of the shower, dried off, put on my pajamas, and wrapped the bathrobe around me and wrapped the towel around my head to dry my hair off.
I walked back to my room to see that Dana and Nicole were still in the room and as soon I walked in they walked out to get some food. I shook my head and sat on my bed.
