Chapter 15

~Izzy's Point-Of-View~

Yippie! New semester! Hip-hip-hurray!

As you can tell, I'm super-duper happy! Especially since I realized that Noah rides my bus, we have the same first period, second period, and P.E. together! Yay! But I still hate him.

So I discovered all of this yesterday, when I was talking to Naiomi, and I saw Noah sitting behind her! But I didn't bother with him too much, because I didn't feel like hearing him complain. But Naiomi didn't have to tell him that I talk about him.

But, anyways, I'm in Business Technology and Skills class. I really don't know why I'm in this class, but I am. And Sierra doesn't have this class with me. But Noah's in this class. Also, Jennifer is, Kellie, and Mike. Oh, and Eva. And that's everybody that I know. Our teacher is having us come up and introduce ourselves. When it is my turn, I skip up.

"Hello one and all! This is Izzy McClerkin speaking. For those who know me, you know me. For those who don't, I'm just EPIC. That is all." and I skipped back to my seat. A few people laughed. Ms. Morris-Tiny clapped. Noah had an irritated expression on his face. Well, forget him then. He didn't have to pay attention.

Since the teacher, Ms. Morris-Tiny, is having us introduce ourselves by where we're sitting, Kellie is going next. Then somebody else, and someone else, then another person, a different person, and more people. Then Noah's turn.

He got up, almost tripped over his backpack, then walked up to the front.

"Um, hey. I'm Noah Jameson...and that's about it."

"Nothing else you want to tell us?" the teacher asked.

"Nothing comes to mind at the present moment." he responded. Well, no needs for so many words!

"Oh, we have a brainiac in the class, I see." Ms. Morris-Tiny told him. Noah shrugged his shoulders, and walked back to his seat.

About five more people presented themselves. And Eva. I almost forgot about her. Sorry Eva! Then after we all introduced ourselves, we had an Icebreaker activity. Kellie passed them out. We also needed markers. Beth passed them out. Wait, I didn't know that she was in this class. I didn't see her. Well, I know now. When Beth presented me with the markers, I got Lime Green, Forest Green, Red, and Aqua. All very pretty colors, right? I know. I love those colors. But I still don't know why we need markers. Maybe this will be an epic class. I hope so.

I finally get my paper, and I write my name up there with the Lime Green marker.

"Okay class, you have ten minutes to fill in the entire sheet. Those who finish in five minutes gets candy!"

And that made everybody jump up, and start running around the class to get signatures. I stood up in my seat, and shouted, "Who's from this city?"

About three people came over, and one girl signed my paper for that spot, along with about three other spaces. I took her paper and signed Been outside this country, Is an only child,and Likes Skittles. Who doesn't like Skittles? Oh, I hope that she has some Skittles to give out! But anyways, the other people signed my paper, too, and I signed the same stuff for them.

Spanish II. I never thought I'd make it. After taking Spanish for every year of middle school, and in ninth grade, I finally made it. Yay.

So, Sierra is in this class. Double yay. Noah's in this class, as well. And Alejandro. Wait, just curious, but why exactly would he be taking Spanish II? Like, doesn't he already know Spanish? And Heather is in this class. I know that this is going to be one heck of a loud class.

Our teacher is Senorita Cortez. She passes out Spanish textbooks and workbooks. We are instructed to write our names in the books. Sheesh, she's killing my First-Day-of-the-New-Semester mood. I need my Skittles.

"Young lady, are you eating in my classroom?" she asks.

I look up. How'd she...?

"Erm, yeah?"

"Well, just so you know, there is no eating in this class, unless I give permission to."

"But it's just a fun-sized Skittle pack. And it's the first day."

"I understand that. So don't do it again." and then she walks away.

"Weird." Sierra tells me.

"Totally." I agree.

"Like, and not in a good way."

Thankfully, the teacher doesn't have us do anything this class period. Just a whole forty-five minutes of us running amok. Yay.

Okay, so now I need to go to my locker, because I'm not carrying this book to the rest of my class. I drag Sierra with me. She has to go to the end of the hallway, though, because we don't have the same homeroom, and therefore our lockers aren't nearby. After I successfully slam shut my locker door, I go to her locker. And she's making out with Cody.

Yes, she is indeed. I knew that they went out (just recently), but, gag. It's weird.

"Um, Sierra? We're going to class now." I tell her. She lets go of Cody.

"Bye Codykins!" she tells him.

"Bye Sierra-poo!" Cody called back.

Yucky. Revolting. Horrid. Repugnant. But who am I to judge my friend's relationship? Exactly. I will leave that alone.

Sierra skips over to me, and we hook our arms, and skip down the hall together. Unfortunately, we don't have third period together; however, we both have a science class, so it's in the same hall. Yay. Physics Lab B. Because we all need to know how everything works. Sierra has Physical Science Lab A.

Onto everything sciency and cool.

"First day of the new semester!" Naiomi yelled at us once we approached the table.

"Super-duper-EPIC-awesomeness-yippie!" I shouted back as I slid into my seat.

"I don't know how we all managed to end up with the same lunch period again." Alex said.

"Me neither." Sierra agreed.

"Ever since second semester Freshman year." Naiomi told us. "Well, except for you, Sierra, of course."

"Yeah. Nobody will forget that I'm still the new girl." Sierra sulked. I nudged her and said, "Well, Cody doesn't seem to care."

"Well, like, Noah doesn't seem to mind that you're weird."

"Hey, I'm a good brand of weird."

"Aren't we all?" Alex asked.

"Yeah. True." Naiomi said.

"Like, if we all weren't, like, all different, what would be of the world?" Sierra asked.

"I don't even know...the APOCALYPSE!" I shouted.

"No need for yelling." Alex told me.

"Oh, Izzy, we have basket-ball practice today." Naiomi told me.

Oh, I forgot to tell you, didn't I! I'm on the basket-ball team now! It's just been so boring last semester, so I decided that I needed to do something for the next few months of Sophomore year. But, anyways, there was practices/try-outs back in late January. And practices for the past two weeks. So, yeah. Oh, and we have a game next Friday. The 18th. Of February. Of 2011. Of the 21st century...

"Okay. I gotta tell my mom that." I said, then reached over for her cellphone. "Thanks!" I told her, then texted my mom about my practice.

Creative writing is that class that I'm going to be thankful for. It's one of those classes that's for the entire year, so I have to deal with the same-old same-old people. Nothing exciting, really. Except for the writing. That's exciting. Yippie.

I'm hanging upside-down on the bench at the back of the school. Naiomi is sitting down beside me. Alex is a few feet away, talking to Cody...I think. Sierra is either at Band practice or heading her Anime/Manga/Totally Dramatic Islanders club. I'm about to go to practice, but I'm bored. And we have fifteen minutes after school lets out for us to get ready. And I'm already wearing my lime green basket-ball shorts, a white shirt, and my black Converse. I'm ready. And I just brought a berry Gatorade. I am prepared.

This is the spot to go and rant about my life.

I just got my learners permit last Friday!

(Yippie)

And I drove me and my mother and my little brother home for the DMV. Oh, and I saw my friend from school and Band.

:)

Oh, yeah, I'm trying to do Band for Sophomore year. Therefore, I shall be attending Band camp every Monday-Friday this summer from 6 PM to 10 PM. And I'm going to have to have Band as a fifth block. Which is after-school. (Yay, no more riding the bus after-school next year)

Speaking of school, I'm out of school for the summer. I got about about a week ago, but I think I already told you that. :)

And I'm going to be working at the Flee Market over the weekend.

Oh, and I'm finally moving after about ten years. Way nicer house. Yay.

I was getting an iPod touch, but my mom said that the screen breaks too easily, so it's not worth it. Therefore, I have to go searching for another type of mp3 player. Which my dad calls ec3, ecw3, and epw, instead of mp3. But I think I told you that already.

But I did get a different type of mp3 player three days later.

It's a Sony Walkman E Series. It's red. I like it.

Oh, and I'm trying to volunteer at my Y during Saturday mornings. I need volunteer hours to graduate from High School.

Oh, and my dad is taking away my computer for the most part. Because of "Educational" reasons. Because my computer is supposed to be for educational purposes only. And other than that, I shouldn't be on the computer. And since I don't have homework during the summer...
