I sat two seats away from the front of the class. The male teacher, half bald, stood up and closed the door as the last student walked in. He then stood in front of his desk and began to stared the lesson.
"Well, before I started, I would like for all permission slips to be place on my desk for tomorrow's field trip.
Everyone got out of their seats and turned in their slips.
Once the class settled down the teacher was about to start on the real lesson when the dark skin boy walked into the classroom.
"Well look who the cat drag in."
"Sorry Mr. Cruger but I had something to do. Nothing to worry about."
"Yeah, we know. We all saw you at the pep rally getting pulled out of the stands and into the principle's office."
Everyone started laughing.
Halfway through class, Sky Tate walked in along with the blonde-headed, Sydney Drew. They sat down with the teacher saying nothing but a "nice speech" to Sky and a "nice cheer" to Sydney.
Jake, of course, sucked his teeth and glared at both of them but at Sky mostly.
"Do we have a problem, Mr. Landers," asked the teacher.
I turned my head to face Jack and he looked at me and then back at the teacher.
"No… we don't have a problem."
Sky looked at Jack with dislike in his eyes and shook his head. I was still looking at my brother at the time and could see that he was getting angrier.
"Actually Mr. Cruger, I do. I have a problem with you letting jock boy here and his little friends get away with everything."
"Oh, I let them get away with everything?"
"Yes, you do."
"Well, maybe if you wasn't a punk and always getting into trouble then maybe the teacher will let you get away with something," Sky laughed.
"Man, I'm tired of you and your friends always…" Jack said getting up out of his desk and walking up to Sky. Sky also got up from his seat too and started to head for Jack. I got out of seat and stood between them.
"Jack, stop this right now."
Jack looked at me and then back at Sky who was smiling at him. His eyes grew angrier as he backed off toward his seat. The teacher who was now standing in front of me looked at both male.
"If you two want to fight, then take it outside not in my classroom. Both of you report to the principle's office right now."
Both boys head for the door until the teacher stopped them.
"And Sky I am very disappointed in you. What will your father say when he hear that you been fighting."
Sky just looked down and walk out of the door without saying a word. I looked at Bridge, who was looking up at me in surprise like in one of those what just happened looks. I went to go sit down and place my head on the desk top as the teacher continued the lesson.
