Chapter 3: The First Few Classes
Vinny and Sarah go into the stairwell to go over their schedules. "I have Spanish second period." Sarah told Vinny. "I don't know Spanish. I never took that language in high school. " Vinny told Sarah. "What language did you take?" Sarah asked Vinny. "Italian." Vinny replied. "It's the same thing." Sarah replied. "Only because the Spanish stole our language and made it their own. Those bastards." Vinny said. The bell rings and second period has begun. "You don't want to be late for Spanish Vinny." Sarah told Vinny with a smirk. Vinny is in Spanish class and the teacher calls on Sarah. "Ms.Baker repeat what I just said." the teacher told her. "Sarah she's talking to you." Diane (Sarah's friend) told her. "I'm not Sarah." Vinny replied. "Then who are you?" Diane asked her. "Ms.Baker for the last time repeat what I just said." the tecaher said to her again. Vinny stands up and starts to speak Italian. "Io sono italiano. No lo so espanol." Vinny replied. (Translation: I'm Italian. I don't know Spanish.). The the teacher starts speaking to her in Spanish. (I don't know Spanish. I only know how to speak Italian.). "Io non capisco espanol." Vinny replied. ( Translation: I don't understand Spanish.) "Ms.Baker you've been in my Spanish class since freshmen year. This is Advanced Spanish not Spanish 1." The teacher told her. "I'm going to speak in English since that's the only language we both can understand. Just because the Spanish stole the Italian language from Italy doesn't mean that it's the same language. So, get off my back and I'm not speaking second hand Italian. I am 100 percent Italian American. If you want to speak to me in a different language speak to me in Italian otherwise don't talk to me." Vinny told the teacher. The teacher just looks at her and sends her to the principal's office. Vinny is sitting in the principal's office. 'This brings back alot of memories.' Vinny thought sitting in the office. "Sarah Baker Mr. Helms will see you now?" the school secretary told her. Vinny goes into the office and sits in the pricipal's chair behind the desk. "Ms.Baker get out of my car." Mr.Helms calmly told her. "Sure thing you're the boss." Vinny told him as he got out of Mr.Helm's chair. "What did you do this time, pull another prank on a taecher,or did you and that putz Mr.DiMiranda get into another argument." Mr.Helms asked her. "Mr.DiMiranda isn't a putz. Don't be mad because he makes more money then you Jeff." Vinny said calling the principal by his first name. "Ms.Baker did you just call me by my first name?" Mr.Helms asked her. "Damn straight Jeff." Vinny replied. "You just got detention for two weeks." Mr.Helms told her. "I'll see you there." Vinny said as he got up and was heading out towards the door. "I never said this meeting was over!" Mr.Helms yelled. "I really don't give a damn what you say." Vinny said as he left the office.
Sarah is teaching Jake's class now. "Hey Mr.D this isn't what we were doing yesterday." Jake told him. "Call me Vinny." Sarah replied. "The last time I did that you gave me detention for two days Mr.D." Jake replied. "Yeah Mr.D." Nick Riley replied. "I don't know what I'm doing up here anyway I'm just an idiot." sarah replied to the class. "Dude, Mr.D has flipped his mind bro." Nick told Jake. "I know. He's acting more like Sarah then himself today." Jake replied. "Maybe they switched bodies or something because today is Friday the Thirteenth?" Nick aksed Jake. "That's only in the movies that can't happen in real life." Jake replied.
Vinny and Sarah cross pathes in the hallway. "How did you manage to screw up my day so far?" Vinny asked. "I did fairly well screwing up your day.And you?" Sarah replied. "I got you detention for the next three weeks. And your Spanish teacher is mad at you." Vinny replied. "What did you do?" Sarah asked Vinny. "She called on you to repeat something in Spanish and I told her something completely different in Italian." Vinny told Sarah. "How did I get detention for three whole weeks?" Sarah asked Vinny. "I called the principal by his first name and told him to that you didn't give a damn what he said." Vinny replied with a laugh. "This means war." Sarah told Vinny. "Don't do anything stupid that would get me fired." Vinny said to Sarah with a concerned look.
