Adam

English class was bearable. For the most part that is. I sat close to the front, my brothers sitting maybe just a few seats behind me. The class was pretty nice looking, some projects hanging up on the walls probably from previous years that did those projects.

There were some cheesy posters aligning the wall as well. They were mainly english puns. I thought that when teachers did this, it was funny cause they were trying to keep in time with the generations that go through their classes.

One year in english class, back in Canada, we make a puns that would reflect the class as a whole, or the subject of the class. A lot of people thought this project was stupid, but me and my friends had so much fun. We were allowed to work in groups of 4 and so that's just what we did.

The project was around for maybe 2 weeks before we had to pass in everything. In total me and my friends made about 25 posters with weird puns on them and funny little cartoons.

The teacher loved our work so much it was hung up around the hall. It was nice, until the fire department came and claimed the posters as fire hazards and took them down. But at least we had some laughs while the posters were still up.

I had a small encounter with the player that I saw the night before, i think his name was Jason? Yeah, I really wished he kept his ass with all the girls that surround themselves around him. I want nothing to do with him at finally sat down after the teacher asked him to. Class started up after that.

The teacher had us get into small groups that he assigned before hand, and had us do some icebreaker games. It sounded like a good idea until I was placed in a group with Jason and some of the girls that swoon over him. I wished, at that moment, that I could just fade into a shadow, or maybe be moved to another group. Any group that didn't have Jason in it.

Sadly there was no way of me being able to switch groups. I stayed silent most of the time during the games. I could hear laughter from some of the other groups and I looked over. Raven and Jack were having fun in their group from the looks of it. They were laughing up a storm.

"Adam, what's your family like." I looked back at the person that spoke to me, Amelia. A short girl from Alabama, she seemed pretty nice, and she was very organised. I thought about the question she asked me for a moment or two before answering.

"Well, I have two older brothers, I have a pretty awesome mother, and My step dad isn't that bad. We live in a pretty normal sized house and my dad was one of the best men I had ever known." The group nodded, well most of them. Jason was busy flirting to the girls next to him to pay attention to the questions that we were asking of each other.

Class ended, and I practically ran out of the class. My next class was one of my electives. Jack didn't exactly have the same classes as me and Raven, so he would be heading to a gym class. I luckily didn't have to do it because of hockey. I may have been the smallest player, but I was the coach's star player.

"Hey, you ok, you seem, well, rushed." Raven asked stopping me just outside our class. I sighed and nodded my head brushing his hand off my shoulder.

"I'm fine. Really, don't worry about it." I said to assure him that I was ok. He nodded, still skeptical of my behavior but didn't question me further.

Lunch was a well waited for break. I needed it much earlier than I got it though. Jack lead the way to the lunch room since he knew the high school like back of his own hand. Raven had run off in the middle of 3rd or 4th period chasing after this boy he likes. I think they are already dating but won't tell anyone that they are.

"Mum packed us lunches so you don't need to eat the gross food they serve, but if you ever forgot to grab lunch from mum, I'll get you some food." I nodded and sat across from him pulling out the brown paper bag, and my phone checking it. There were so many texts from my friends I felt kind of overwhelmed. I would have to read them all once I got home.

Lunch went by pretty slowly, and I wasn't gonna protest about that. If lunch could go this slowly every day, and the classes go much faster, school here in America could just be bearable.

Raven and one of their friends joined our table half way through lunch. I was introduced the friend who's name was Johnny. He seemed pretty chill, but he was a little to close to Raven. I had a feeling Johnny was the person Raven disappeared to go see.

There was some commotion going on at one of the very overpopulated tabled nearest to the doors the led outside to the courtyard. From the looks of the people that crowded around that table, they were the popular kids. I rolled my eyes and turned away from the group, not caring anymore about what kind of commotion was going on.

I went on with my lunch as usual until the bell rang, then I headed to my next class. America was terribly ordinary.
