IGGY POV:
I got my stuff from my locker and got to class just as the bell rang, quickly walking to the back of the class and hoping everyone ignored me. Surprisingly, nobody approached me and I sat in silence.
"I vill nov take attendance," says our biology teacher, Mr. ter-Borcht. He's from Germany or something and has a very strong accent.
"Sorry!" Someone runs in and I look up. Its Snow, to my surprise.
He glares at her. "Vhy haf you interrupted my class?"
"Well I'm new and I got lost..." She says, looking a little embarrassed.
He looks down at his attendance sheet. "You are... Kate Heartfilia?"
Heartfilia?
Everyone knew that the Heartfilia's were basically the richest people in the country. I had heard a rumor that they were moving here, and that they had a daughter but... she's the exact opposite of what I'd imagined.
"Maybe I was her charity case for the day, oh yay she got to help someone and now she feels SO great about herself," I made up an excuse to myself.
But that didn't explain why she was wearing the clothes she was wearing. Why would the daughter of the richest people in the country wear a Linkin Park t-shirt?
"Yes," she answered and he looked at the class.
"Vine. Class, dis is Kate, she is nev," Mr. ter-Borcht introduced her quickly. "Ms. Heartfilia, please take a seat in the back."
She nodded and walked to the back, plopping down next to me.
Neither of us spoke as he took attendance.
"Vendi?"
"Here."
"Carla?"
"Here."
"Sam?"
"Here."
"James?"
"Here," I spoke up and Snow looked surprised.
"Your name is James?" She asked and I nodded.
"What happened to Iggy?" She questioned and I sighed.
"Iggy's a nickname," I replied and then I turned away, probably confusing her because her charity case was turning away. Or maybe just because she genuinely wanted to be my friend... no. Nobody wanted to be my friend and I had accepted that.
Attendance continued but I didn't bother listening.
"Vine. Okay class, nov ve are going to do an experiment. Get a partner, and go to a station. Do it nov," He repeated as people began to stand and walk over to their friends. I just sat there and waited for the last unlucky person without a partner to get stuck with me...
"Hey. We could be lab partners now, but you know, different partners later..." I heard Sam talking to most likely Snow. Even though she defended me before, she probably-
"I said 'no' and I meant it, you ass. Stay away from me," I looked up in surprise to see Snow push Sam away from her.
"So Iggy..." I heard Dylan from my other side and sighed.
"Iggy want to be partners?" Snow asked me, interrupting him.
God yes get me away from this guy.
"Sure," I replied and she smiled and dragged me away from the two shocked boys.
"Thanks," I muttered and she smiled at me.
"What are friends for?"
I turned away.
"I wouldn't know," I replied, hoping she would shut up about it. But she didn't.
"So... we're partners? Guess I'll get the lab sheet," She said before walking over to Mr. ter-Borcht to get the papers.
I studied her as she walked. Not like that! I'm not a pervert.
I walked to know whether she was screwing with me or if she seriously wanted to be my friend. If it really was the second one...
She walked back, holding the sheet. "Here. So its about DNA... I'll read it I guess."
"DNA carries the genetic information in all living organisms, including humans, other animals, plants, and bacteria. Each cell in your body has a nucleus with multiple chromosomes. Each chromosome contains a DNA molecule with multiple genes. Step One, draw and label a simple diagram of an animal cell, showing the cell membrane and the chromosomes surrounded by a nuclear membrane. Show the location of the DNA," Snow read.
"So... animal cells are abnormally shaped," I said, drawing out a squiggly figure.
"Cell membrane... just draw the same shape around it," she instructed and drew another shape.
In between the spaces of our two shapes she wrote "CELL MEMBRANE".
In the middle of the original shape, I drew a circle, with a bunch of small irregular shapes inside.
Snow labeled it, with "NUCLEAR MEMBRANE" and "CHROMOSOMES."
"Next step," she said and so it went on.
We did the experiment, looking at DNA from our cheeks, which was kind of gross, and handed in thru sheet when we finished.
"How much time left in the period?" Snow asked me and I looked at the wall.
"Like 2 minutes," I replied and began to pack up my stuff.
Snow sat down next to me as I did.
"What?" I asked, coming out a little harsher than I meant to. She didn't seem to care.
"You told me everyone hates you because of something that happened to you. What happened?" She asked, and my heart fell.
Might as well tell her though. Everyone already knew.
"8 years ago, my dad left and my mom and I got really poor to the point where we can't afford anything extra. So... everyone just saw it as another excuse to bully me. Everyone already made fun of me... I was too skinny, my hair was dyed, my dad hit my mom. And when he left, everything just got worse. And its been that way since I was little," I said simply and continued packing up.
Snow put her hand over her mouth. "I'm so sorry Iggy... I shouldn't have asked."
I shrugged. "Everyone knows anyway."
"And I thought my parents were bad..." She sighed.
"You live in a world of money. How can anything be bad?" I asked her, getting a little angry.
She frowned. "I didn't ask for all this money, you know."
"But you got it. You won't have to work a day in your life, you get your life handed to you. I have nothing," I said bitterly and she looked furious.
"My mom is the bitchest bitch on the planet, my dad is never around and when he is he completely ignores me, but I have to be the "perfect daughter" and wear dresses, right? I'm so rich so I must be a pampered slut who wears dresses and makeup! Everyone sees me as someone I'm not! I don't want to be a stupid Heartfilia! I just want to be me," she hisses back at me as the bell rings.
"...Really?" I ask as she angrily packs up her stuff.
She looks at me, not angry, just sort of annoyed now. "Really."
"Sorry for getting mad," I say as I stand up. "Umm... still friends?" I say it with a lot of uncertainty.
She smiles suddenly. "Duh. See you later, Ig."
And she walks away, my mouth open. I will never understand that girl.
...
Next class, Math with Mr. Jason. Our of all of my classes, its probably my favorite. Its not just because I like math, I do, but the fact that Mr. Jason is a surprisingly nice and cool guy. And none of the jocks are in that class. Thank you honors class.
"Hey Iggy," he greets as I walk in and I nod at him.
When the bell rings, class starts and Snow doesn't show up. Guess she's not in this class.
Normally I pay attention, we're doing something with equations, which I actually like, but all I can think about is Snow.
"Iggy? Daydreaming doesn't get you an A," Mr. Jason's voice snaps me back to reality.
"Sorry," I say automatically and he merely nods and continues teaching.
I look at the board like I'm paying attention, but all the numbers are jumbling around in my head and I can't focus. Before I know it, the bell has rung, and everyone's shoving tonight's homework into their binders.
"See you guys tomorrow!" Mr. Jason waves as everyone leaves, and I quickly move with them.
...
Next class is my favorite, Band.
Thats right, the underprivileged kid plays an instrument. I've played guitar for a few years now and I'm pretty good.
I went right to the back and got my rental guitar, I didn't have my own guitar for obvious reasons, and started to tune it.
The band teacher, the coolest guy ever named Mr. Fossa, clapped his hands to get everyone's attention.
"So guys, we're going to open up with Crazy Train, okay? One, two, three, four," he started and waved his hands as everyone started, playing together.
The cool thing about Mr. Fossa is he doesn't play classic band songs, he plays instrumental versions of songs.
We started with the guitar intro, by moi, and the saxophones and trumpets and the others started coming in with the tune.
As we continued, I got into the music, nothing mattered except for it. After a few minutes, it was time for my guitar solo and I played it super fast, adding my own twist to it, as Mr. Fossa smiled on, leading everyone again as I finished.
Then there were a few songs that were a little boring for guitar, that I didn't bother remembering.
Then somebody came in, another teacher to talk to Mr. Fossa, and they went to the side, so everybody started doing their own thing.
I began quietly playing "Rebel Love Song" by Black Veil Brides, one of my favorite bands. Everyone else was talking and not listening, but I found myself so deep in thought that I didn't notice that everyone had left and the next class was coming in. Shit.
I packed up the guitar quickly and walked quickly towards my locker, to go to the worse class ever. It was my least favorite subject, with my least favorite people. Yay.
...
I walked into History Class 2 minutes late, and was blown a kiss by Dylan.
"Why are you late, Mr. Griffiths? Do you have a pass?" Asked the teacher, a middle aged woman named Mrs. Janssen.
"No," I muttered and she scowled.
"Detention. After school today," she demanded and I internally sighed. Just great.
I walked to my seat, and found a surprising someone next to it.
She grinned at me. "Iggy! Hey!"
"Hey Snow," I actually smiled.
"Our teacher is... kinda scary, isn't she?" She asked under her breath.
I nodded. "Guess who just got detention?"
She stuck out her tongue at Mrs. Janssen, who was teaching and not paying attention. I snickered.
During History, I didn't pay attention at all, she never looked at the back of the class anyway, so Snow and I just talked the whole time.
"Oh! Let's do something to get to know each better! I'll write up two quizzes," Snow said excitedly.
I rolled my eyes. "Are you in second grade?"
She flipped me off. "Shut up and fill out your quiz."
After a few minutes of scribbling, she handed me a paper covered in girly handwriting.
