Author's note: Sort of for my friend who happens to be obsessed with nutella. Enjoy.
Welcome to Goode High, where the teachers are anything but good at teaching, and the students learn absolutely nothing! Oh joy.
It was also Katie and Travis's high school. Oh joy... Not.
Today was the first day of school and they both were not looking forward to it.
Katie was sitting at her desk reading a book about plants, when Lou Ellen slinked to the desk right next to her.
"Hi," Lou Ellen told her.
Katie looked up from her book and beamed at her. "Oh, hey, Lou! Did you know that bamboo can grow up to 3.28 meters a day? It's so-"
"Boring. Absolutely boring. Honestly, Katie Kat, I thought I was rubbing off on you when you yelled at the security guard. Oh, yeah, and lied. I like that Katie Kat better." Travis plopped into the seat to the left of Katie, propping his feet up on the desk.
Katie rolled her eyes. "I was doing you a favor. Now shut up," she said. Travis ignored that comment and nodded at Lou in greeting. Lou waved before stealing Katie's book to read about the totally interesting facts of bamboo. No, not really. Lou just wanted to see if there were any pandas.
"How rude, Kitty Kat. I thought we made progress!" Travis clutched the right side of his chest.
"Uh… Your heart is… nevermind. Whatever." Katie didn't even try to correct him that his heart was on the left side of his chest.
Travis frowned.
Students started walking into the class when the bell rang and sat down at their seats, cheerfully chattering.
The teacher walked in and everyone hushed. "Good morning, class. I'm Ms. Weathers. If anyone asks why I'm a Ms. instead of Mrs., then you can go talk to my ex-husband, Greg." She sniffled. "Now turn to the person left of you and play twenty questions or something. Maybe that person will be your true love and not leave you-" She burst into tears, limping to her desk and sobbing.
The children shrugged and chatted with the person left of them, ignoring the hysterical teacher. Katie sighed. Her day was just getting worse and worse.
Travis smiled. "Since I'm such a nice person, you go first."
"Fine. What's your favorite book?" Katie asked.
"Uh… Katie Kat? Do you know me?"
"Oh, yeah. You don't read. Fine, what's your-"
Travis interrupted her, "No, you got your turn. Now it's mine. Favorite food?"
"Strawberries. Yours?"
"Ew, fruit." Katie glared at him and he gulped. "Uh, Nutella."
"Nutella? That's more like a sauce or something." Katie looked at him.
"No, it's not! I can eat whatever I want! Nutella is great! It's delicious! I love it!" Travis crossed his arms like a three year old.
"It's unhealthy. You probably will get diabetes before the age of twenty if you eat that every day," Katie retorted.
"It has hazelnuts in it! Of course it's healthy!" Travis argued back.
"Uh… Yeah, and a lot of sugar!" Katie glowered.
"So?! Nutella is the gift from God!"
"No, it's soysauce. Just saying," Lou said, turning to them. They looked at her before continuing their argument.
"JUST NAME SOMETHING NORMAL, OKAY?" Katie yelled.
Travis stared at her. "What?!" she yelled. Then she noticed how close they were and quickly moved back, embarrassed.
Travis, glad that she was flushing, said, "Like what you see, Katie Kat?" only to get a slap with the book instead.
"Ahem." The two turned to see Ms. Weathers looking at them. "You guys make an adorable couple!" she said.
"Uh, no," Katie said while Travis snorted, "What kind of teacher are you?" and Katie slapped his arm.
Then the bell rang and Katie ran, yes ran, out of the class.
After a few more classes, it was lunch and she went to the cafeteria. The first thing she saw was Travis eating an entire jar of nutella with a spoon.
She facepalmed.
Author's note: Katie doesn't approve of eating nutella with a spoon apparently. R & R please.
