How LongDoes an Hour of English Last?

She could have recognized her wonderfully perfect hair and clothes anywhere; to face her was unnecessary. A girl with shiny auburn hair sneered at the dark girl. Raven returned the friendly gesture. The redhead made a noise that sounded like a sniff of arrogance and quickly turned to face the front of the class. The blonde sitting next to the redhead stared at Raven for a while more and then followed her friend's example.

The dark girl looked at the back of their heads with narrowed eyes, but instead of seeing the heads where they were supposed to be, joined to their respective bodies, she imagined only the bodies and the necks. The heads where anywhere else but with the owners. She shot a last glance at them and then slowly walked to an empty sit that was thankfully next to Jinx's.

"Morning. Thought you wouldn't make it," her friend smiled.

"And miss the first day of school? Are you kidding me?" Raven responded sarcastically, setting her skateboard under her desk.

"You'll never change," Jinx said, shaking her head and grinning.

"At least something will be consistent around here," the other girl smirked.

"Good morning class," the teacher announced. "My name is Mrs. Gannon, I'm sure many of you have seen me around," she stopped to wave at a few people, including the redhead and the blonde sitting on the front, "and I will be your English teacher for this, your senior year," she finished with a smile.

An awkward silence filled the room and Raven and Jinx turned to give each other knowingly glances and secret smirks.

"Because I don't know all of you, I will take roll and give you these stickers to identify you, only for the first week. Then we will have an ice-breaker, so me and your classmates can get to know you better," she said, while walking around the classroom handing out the stickers.

"Maybe I shouldn't have made it," Raven told Jinx, grabbing her sticker and scribbling her name on it.

"No kidding…I hate this kind of stuff," said her friend without looking at her, too busy writing her name nice and neat to later peel the sticker and put it on her forearm. "Need help with that?" she said, finally looking at her friend and pointing at her sticker, which still sat on her desk, untouched. Raven shook her head and glued the sticker onto her forearm, just like her friend.

After taking roll, the teacher gave the first assignment of the day: to write a list of two truths and one lie to share with the class. "If she keeps up this kind of stuff, she won't last a semester," Raven said.

"Oh? Why not?" Jinx asked.

"Because I'm going to kill her. One for making us do this kind of stupid stuff, and other for public speaking on the first day of school," her friend responded, forcefully scribbling on a piece of paper.

One by one, all of the students went to the front of the class and said what was written on his or her paper while the other students listened and tried to separate the truths from the lie. The girl with auburn hair walked enthusiastically to the front and read her list. "I have a 04 Lexus, my favorite food is Italian, and I want to be a psychologist." She smiled, her eyes filled with fake happiness.

"You don't drive a Lexus!" a brunette cheerleader busted out.

"I do too," the redhead said, an arrogant grin extended on her lips, her eyes shinning with satisfaction of luxury.

A nerdy looking kid raised his hand, "You don't want to be a psychologist."

"How would you know that?"

"Anyone can tell you dislike working with people with problems," the kid said, almost whispering.

"Very well, then," she said, giving the kid a narrowed look.

"Roth, Raven, please come to the front," the teacher called, as if telling the girl at front it was her turn to sit down already.

Raven slowly walked to the front and sighed before rising up her piece of paper. "My hair is dyed purple, Mrs. Gannon is my new English teacher, and I'm the most popular girl at school," she read rapidly.

"You're not the most popular girl at school," the girl with auburn hair snapped with laughter.

"Aw, Raven, that was too easy." Raven shot a glance at the teacher. "But it's fine with me," she smiled nervously, watching as the girl walked back to her seat on the back of the class.

"Like I was saying. She won't last long. And neither will she," Raven whispered to Jinx as she sat down and pointing at the redhead sitting in front of the class. Her friend gave her one of her infamous secretively smiles. After the ice breaker was done, the rest of the hour the teacher went over her extremely boring syllabus which included rules, supplies, absences, and whatnot.

Raven leaned back on her seat and stretched. "15 more minutes of this," she thought, looking at the clock hanging on the side wall. She sighed and her eyes started examining the rest of the classroom.

The teacher seemed kind of nice. She must have been in her early twenties because there wasn't a single trace of aging on her face. No wrinkles around her green eyes or on her forehead. Even though she wasn't wearing much makeup, she was pretty. Her olive skin seemed almost perfect, and the low ponytail she was wearing completed her polished look. Her fashion sense was acceptable too. Not too revealing and not too conservative. Raven imagined if she ever had been a cheerleader. She certainly had the spirit, but not the snob ness.

Raven looked at Jinx. The pink bubblegum hair dye still bothered her a bit since it looked blinding in the sun, but she could deal. Jinx had her cheek cupped on her hand and was doodling something on the corner of the syllabus.

Raven's eyes wandered around the room some more. There were many people who Raven knew by sight but she had never bothered to actually speak to them, which some people thought made her antisocial and a bit of a bitch.

In between the sea of heads, she distinguished a tall and muscular black guy looking down at his hands, which were hidden under the desk. Raven slowly lifted a brow and wondered what Victor was up to. "I really hope he is either texting or playing on his game boy," she thought, a bit bewildered. (A/N: This actually happened in History class, when my teacher told a student that he hoped he wasn't jaking off. coughmasturbatingcough I'm so evil. XD)

Some students had started to submerge into a drowsy state when suddenly, the bell rang. The students quickly stood up and walked through the door, anxious to get out of there. Jinx stood up and stretched her back with cat-like grace (No, she is not on her knees arching her back like a real cat would do. :D)

and walked out the door, where Raven was already waiting. Jinx came out followed by the two cheerleaders who seemed to be up to something.

"So, Raven," the redhead said, standing out of the way of the door, "What made you think you are the most popular girl at school?"

A/N: Okay…I hope this is enough for one chapter…are they too short? I need criticism. So please, PLEASE, leave a review telling me in what I should improve! Oh, and by the way, I'm sad because no one has reviewed the real chapter four, even though this thing says it has had 28 hits (You think I wouldn't find out that you people haven't been reviewing? Well, you were wrong! Now, feel my wrath! Mwahahahaha! Uh … yeah...cough).

Other thing is I'm grounded so I don't get internet access ( . I'm so sneaky >.> hehehe) so I'll probably won't be posting a lot (And the usual writer's block doesn't help, either). So I'll be seeing you around…I guess…

REVIEW OR ELSE! I WILL COME AND HAUNT YOU DOWN! (Like cheeshirt said…hahaha, not really :D) No, seriously, leave a damn review.

Next chapter: More pointless ice breakers. Can you guess who the girl with the auburn hair is? (No, it's not her.)
