Chapter Two
1430 Hours
Mrs. Choren's English 10 AP-Prep Classroom
"What is your name again?" Mrs. Choren peered around three-inch thick glasses and stared at me. "Jessie Philips, but I go by Jess," I said with a sigh. That had to have been the third time I told the English 10 teacher my name. It's probably because she's so old, I thought, amused. She's gotta be at least eighty.
"Yes, well, sit down here Tessie," Mrs. Choren indicated with a wave of her hand, "And here's a textbook for you to use. Oh and Ashley?" She called to my new-found friend, who looked up quickly from her reading. While Mrs. Choren was showing me everything I missed (and I do mean everything), the class was reading silently. "Make sure to show this girl where we put our homework and assignments, alright?" Ashley nodded, a twinkle in her eye as she turned to me. Pointing to various areas in the room, she whispered to me as I sat beside her, in the desk assigned, "Don't mind Mrs. Choren. She's an old coot, but is a good teacher, I promise."
