Back at East High
Chapter twelve
The sun was shining through the opened windows into Ms. Montez's classroom on Monday morning. The sound from the hallway was quieter then usual, but she didn't mind as she checked papers. Most of the class was there a minute before the bell rang and Ms. Montez greeted each of them with a smile. Blake and Gabi walked in laughing and holding hands while C and Zac walked behind them. The class suddenly stopped what they were doing and looked at the group of four walking to their desks. The girls gasped and the guys whispered amongst themselves. Ms. Montez watched the reaction of the class and smiled to herself.
"What's going on?" Jake, a fellow basketball player asked.
"Nothing out of the ordinary." Blake said as he stood at the front of the room.
"You're holding hands." Mackenzie said in disgusted as she looked at the couple.
"And dating, but there's nothing wrong with that." C said, defending his friends.
"I don't understand." Summer announced. "I thought we were all on sides and now you're together?" She asked.
"We shouldn't be on sides. We all go to this school together and we have to make the best of our senior year." Blake said.
"Yeah, we're all in this together." Gabi said with a smile.
"Exactly." Blake said as he looked at her with a smile.
"Okay, everyone, sit down." Ms. Montez said as she stood up.
The class sat quietly at their desks as they waited for Ms. Montez to tell them what to do. Every so often Blake would turn around to look at Gabi and he smiled as she giggled quietly.
"I think it would be a good time to start a group activity." Ms. Montez announced.
"Do we have to?" Jake asked as the rest of the class groaned, except Blake and Gabi.
"Of course we do." Ms. Montez laughed. "We are going to go around the classroom and say something nice about everyone." Ms. Montez instructed.
"I'll go first." Zac said as he stood up.
"Okay, you can compliment one person. Who do you choose?" Ms. Montez asked.
"I'll compliment Summer." Zac said.
"What?" Summer asked suddenly, not understanding why he would want to compliment her.
"I think she is very talented and I secretly have been to every musical and play she's been in." He said with a smile.
"Really?" Summer asked happily.
"Yup, it's true." Zac said.
"Okay, now Summer you can complement Zac." Ms. Montez said.
Summer nodded and stood up with a smile.
"I think it's cool that Zac bakes. I secretly have been waiting for him to bake me cookies, but whatev." She said as she sat down. "Oh! If you need someone to try new recipes I'm volunteering right now."
"Finally! Someone who understands!" He exclaimed.
The class laughed along with Ms. Montez and Zac smiled at Summer, who happily smiled back.
"Who's next?" Ms. Montez asked with a smile.
"I'll go." C said.
"Okay, go ahead."
"I'll compliment my best friend Blake." C said with a grin. "He is the best basketball player I know and even though we fight over things that may be stupid I know he'll be there for me."
"Thanks, man." Blake said with a smile.
"Blake it's your turn." Ms. Montez said.
"Okay, so C has been my best friend for forever and he is a good listener when I need to talk. Oh, and he'll be a good best man one day. He knows what I'm talking about." Blake said as he high fived C as he turned to face him. He winked at Gabi and she blushed like crazy.
"Okay." Ms. Montez said with a laugh. "Who's next?"
Everyone in the class raised their hand and Ms. Montez smiled to herself, glad that her plan to bring the class back together worked. Everyone had a chance to compliment each other and the class soon ended with everyone laughing and talking as they left the room.
The next day Ms. Montez was standing in the hallway greeting the students as they came into the class. Summer was standing next to Ms. Montez looking over an essay she wrote for health class. Summer was watching Zac talk to C as she waited for Ms. Montez to finish reading and as she looked down the hallway she saw Coach Danforth walking down the hallway with Troy as they looked down at a clipboard.
"I can't believe it!" Summer exclaimed.
Ms. Montez looked up from the paper and saw what Summer was talking about.
"Me either."
"What is he doing here?" Summer asked.
"He must have moved back to Albuquerque." Ms. Montez said pretending she didn't already know.
"Awkward!" Summer sang as she left Ms. Montez in the hallway as she went in the classroom.
Aw! I love the kids of East High. Well, review for the next chapter.
