"Hey Irma, did we have any homework for math," April asked. "No," Irma replied. "Thank god," said a voice behind April. It was Casey. Casey's clothes were worn down. There was rips and tears in his jeans and stains on his clothes. A loud ringing noise filled the hallway. April groaned. "I'm going to be late for science." She slammed her locker shut and waved back to her friends while racing down the hall. She arrived at her classroom in a matter of minutes. She stopped at the doorway.
The room was brimmed with students. Luckily the teacher didn't noticed April's tardiness from the crowd of students. The teacher began to call names for the seating chart. Eventually April's name was called. She plopped onto the chair. Instead of desks they had tables for two. A girl sat next to her. She was wearing a green shirt with the words "Save energy, don't talk to me." Her hair was a dark brown, almost black, that came down to her shoulders. Her hair was wavy.
"Uh, hi. I'm April." The girl looked startled at first but then replied "Hi, I'm Cori." "Nice to meet you. I like your shirt." "Oh, thanks," said Cori as she looked down at her shirt. April looked at her books. "Are you double advanced?" "What?" "Sorry, I mean, you're taking math that juniors take." "Oh, yeah right. Sorry it's just that the first week of school leaves me scatterbrained." April nodded. The teacher finished the seating chart and began introducing himself. "Second year of high school and away," April said unenthusiastically. Cori laughed. Her laugh was one of those clear loud ones. Luckily for her the teacher was trying to make a joke so he didn't notice the outburst. Science didn't seem so bad now.
