Odd Class

"Time to meet my students." Josh Nichols whispered to himself as he opened the door to the classroom. The door read Mrs. Test - Mathematics. What a funny name for a teacher. Josh said in his head."C'mon Drake! Hurry up!" Drake was just wandering around. Drake had bugged Josh into coming all night and into the morning, so he practically had to do it, or he would suffer Drake's wrath for the rest of his life (or at least until he went away to college).

Josh walked into the classroom and saw the teacher was a old, blonde lady. She was wearing glasses, was smiling.

"Students! This is Mr. Nichols! He will be subbing for me, and who is this?" she said towards Drake.

"This is my step-brother Drake Parker."

"Hello, Drake, are you going to help Mr. Nichols?"

"Yeah..."

"I'll be in the teacher's lounge, if there is any trouble. Don't have any trouble." she said as she left.

Josh walked toward the front of the room, and said" Hello, class!"

"Hello." the class said dully.

"What grade are you?" he asked.

"Sixth." the answered, the dullness still in there voice.

"Raise your hand if you know what we're learning." he desperatly asked.

A young girl with brown hair raised her hand. That was the only person with their hand raised.

"Yes, your name is?"

"I'm Renae, and we are studying how to convert decimals to fractions."

"Thank you Renae. Does anyone know how?"

Two people raised their hand. He needed the class to participate more.

"You. With the blonde hair, and green soccer jeresy." he said, pointing to the young boy sitting in the back." What's your name?"

"Matthew Dombrosky."

"Do you know how to convert decimals to fractions?"

"Nope" he said, popping his lips on the 'pe'. Josh already knew he wouldn't like this kid.

"You, then. With the shaved look, wearing the United jeresy. What's your name?"

"Austin Nakatani"

"And do you know how to convert fractions to decimals?"
"I thought we were converting decimals to fractions."

"Whatever. Do you, or don't you."

"No. I bet Noble Goebel could tell you though."

"Who is 'Noble Goebel'?" this is a very strange class.

A boy with curly brown hair raised his hand. " I am."

"Ok, Noble Goebel,do you know the answer?"

"Yes, I do, and you can call me Alex."

"Ok, Alex, tell us the answer."

Then the kid went in-depth on how to convert decimals into fractions. Josh looked over at Drake, who stared, open-mouth at him. It was very funny, actually. When he was done, a girl with blonde hair, wearing an Abercrombie shirt raised her hand.

"Yes..."

"Katie Cole, but I think Alex is wrong."

Then she went into a full-fledged explaination of why he was wrong, then a kid named Evan with long, blonde hair joined in. It was mayhem. Then Drake got involved.

"Hey, this is rediculious. It's like the battle of the brains or something."

After that rediculious comment (which made quite a few people laugh) Josh got into teaching teh class. Drake just sat in the back of the class, thinking. Some of these kids look like they could be in a band. Matthew was leaning back in his chair, hitting two pencils on a book. Renae was fingering something on her book, but it looked like she was playing the piano. They were the only two at the moment, but he was pretty sure he could find more.

"Why didn't the bell ring?" a boy with sandy blonde hair, Matthew Murphy, asked.

We aren't switching classes today. I will teach you for today." Josh answered.

"Awww!" the class whined because they couldn't go to their related arts classes during 6 and 7 period.

" Time for geography."

Ususally the class had Mrs. Downes, but luckily Mr. Nichols was there. That was the only bright side of having an all-day student teacher.

"Today we will--"

"You mean we don't have Mrs. Downes?" a short boy with short brown hair, Baker, asked.

"Please don't interrupt." Josh said, annoyed.

The kids at this school obviously didn't like geography. They were also wery stubborn. Austin, Baker, Matthew D., and a boy named Jared Redmen, were obviously the class clowns. While the kids were trying to fill in a map of the world, Josh was looking in the class profiles. There were ALOT of gifted kids in this class. Renae, Katie, Alex, Evan, and surprisingly Matthew D. A few other peoplewere as well. He looked over, talking his sweet time. "What are you doing?" Josh asked, outraged.

"Playing." he answered.

"Well don't. Give this to Matthew D. and Rehae."

Josh gave him the pages, ans looked back down at the files.

Drake was a curious boy. He opened the folded papaer. It read:

You have been invited to a study group. If you wish to attend tell me at the end of class.-Mr. Nichols

He doubted they would be coming. Who would? Drake needed them, he could teach them about music. He grabbed a pencil and wrote:

I will be there to teach you abour music because you have been chosen to be in a musical program, sponsered by Drake Parker.

- Mr. Parker

Josh called him back 3 more times to deliver the pages to various kids. Only the two kids were invited to Drake's After School Music Program though.

This class was hopeless. They just refused to learn. It was likt they just came to school to socializw. They all (except a few) were clones of Drake.l This wouldn't be a fun week for Josh. The girls kept passing notes-

"Girls, give me the note." said Josh.

"Ok, here." one of them said.

Josh confiscated the note, unfolded it, and read outloud:

Ha ha ha Mr. Nichols!

He gave them a How-dare-you-but-I-can-deal-with-it look and said," Cute. Very cute." the girls giggled in response.

"Thanks to your classmate's joke, you will be recieving homework tonight." the class groaned, and various,' I have practice' and 'Thanks alot Allie' were thrown in with the groans.

Josh looked at the clock, it read 9:51, time to start Language Arts.

While Josh was attempting to teach the students about hyperbolies (whatever they are) Drake pulled out Renae and Matthew D to ask if they were available for that afternoon. They were. They called their moms, and it was cool with them, so Drake arranged for him to take them to his house so they could start their session.

The rest of the day went pretty smoothly for Josh. Drake even found himself another person to be in the after-school program. It was Alex Goebel, who played both the piano and the saxaphone. Alex, Katie, Renae,Evan, Matthew D., and Allie all signed up for the study group, Matthew only because his mom made him. When the final bell rang, Josh said ," Only two days to go."
