So here I am back with chapter 3. Enjoy it cause I spent a long time writing this even though it's the shortest of the three chapters.
Chapter 3: The Second day at Ridgeway
Her first had gone pretty good after History. After French Sam had Biology, Social Studies and IT. She had at least one friend in each class. She had Biology with Chris; Social Studies with Danni and IT with Freddie, Jade and Chris.
Sam hoped that her second day would be just as good as she had Art, which was her favorite subject, she loved drawing and painting. It was her thing.
The next day she walked into the front entrance of Ridgeway with her best friend Jade and headed straight for their lockers which were right next to each other. Both girls were talking about random things like yesterday, a really cute guy that jade met in her chemistry class and Mr Howard.
"So how is Mr Hot that you were with yesterday?" Jade asked with a raised eyebrow.
"First of all, stop calling his that. Secondly he's fine so shut up before I make you" Sam replied in an annoyed tone.
"Shutting up now" Jade stated before shutting her locker to turn to Sam. Her phone buzzed letting her know she had a text from someone so she got it out to check it. It was from Chris.
To: Jadeyxx
Me & da guys r skippin' 1st and 2nd period 2day.
We're at the bike shed at the other end of da parking lot. U & Sam come and hang out wiv us
From: Chris
Jade looked up from her phone to see Sam starring at her with an are-you-gonna-talk-to-me-or-just-text-Chris-all-da y-look. "Chris just text me…"
"What a big surprise" Sam butted in sarcastically.
But it didn't faze her "Chris just texted me" she repeated "he said to meet him and the guys in the bike shed on the other side of the parking lot, they're going to miss first and second period. You gonna come?"
"I can't. I promised mom that I wouldn't get into trouble, remember, and even if I don't get caught she'll know and I'll be in more trouble" Sam said in annoyance.
"Oh well I'll see you in Art later, Bye" Jade said as she turned on her feet and walked away to the front door and out into the student parking lot.
"Bye" Sam whispered.
"Hello" a deep voice whispered in her ear which caused her to jump, not as much as yesterday but still she jumped. She turned around to see Freddie smirking; it was getting to be a habit of his. "Someone's a little jumpy today".
"I like jumping, as a matter-o-factly" Sam retorted.
"A matter-o-factly? You do know that was the worst comeback in the history of the planet" he laughed.
"Stop laughing it's not funny" she whined, the frown on her face slowly changing to a smile "you're so immature" she said nudging his arm.
"I know" he simply replied.
"So no Miss Evil today?"
"Who?"
"Carly, I think that was her name. You know I prefer Miss Evil, it suits her better".
"No need to be rude" Freddie scolded.
"Sorry" Sam said with her hands lazily up in the air as if she had been caught by the police. "Is she your friend or something?"
"Girlfriend" Freddie replied. Sam face fell.
"No way!" Sam stated as if it was a joke.
"Yeah, anyway let's get to class before the bell go…"he didn't finish because the bell went for the first lesson of the day.
"Ok, quick question. Are there any other teachers like Mr Howard here or is it just him?" Sam asked cautiously.
"Only Ms Briggs, I have her for English and I have English with you so you'll meet her in a minute. By the way be nice, she's worse than Mr Howard. I had an hour hour detention a few weeks ago for correcting her when we were reading to kill a mocking bird"
"Harsh!" Sam exclaimed.
"I know I missed football training and almost had to miss the game that Friday night".
"So you're a footballer and a nerd?" Sam questioned.
"Not a nerd more a…?"
"Nub?" Sam offered.
"Intelligent person"
"Nope definitely a nub"
"I'm not gonna win this am I?"
"Not a chance" Sam smirked. They arrived at Ms Briggs' classroom and silence fell as they entered the quiet class, they hurried to the last two seats at the back of the classroom and sat down.
"So nice of you join Mr Benson, Miss Puckett" a croaky voice echoed throughout the room.
"As always Ms Briggs" Freddie retorted leaning back in his desk to relax.
"And you must be the infamous Miss Samantha Puckett" Ms Briggs stated.
"Sam" she stated.
"So Samantha how does it feel to be in honours English?" Ms Briggs asked with an evil grin twin to the one Mr Howard had worn the day before upon meeting the troublemaker.
"Ok I guess but I thought that I would be learning instead of talking to an old hag such as herself" Sam answered with an evil smile; this didn't even faze Ms Briggs, she managed to surpass the urge to send her straight to the principal's office then and there.
"Samantha would you come up to the front of the class" Ms Briggs stated.
"Nah I'm good here thanks"
"It wasn't a question, here now or triple homework for everyone in the class" Everyone groaned in unison at the mention of homework. "You have ten seconds". Sam slowly stood up from her wooden desk and made her way to the front of the class.
"Why am I here?" Sam asked lazily.
"I would like you to answer me four questions about English, we'll see if you deserve to be here" Sam glared at her, she was the only person from Rosewood to get into honours English and all the other students were Ridgeway goers.
"Sure" Sam replied calmly.
"First. Who was the writer and producer of the English plays Hamlet and Richard III?" Ms Briggs.
"Easy, William Shakespeare" Sam said with a smirk.
"Next. What is the name of the poem consisting of 14 lines of alternate rhyming couplets that featured in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet?"
"A sonnet" Sam said "Are these questions going to get harder or…?"
"Question three. Explain what the recreation of an original text is".
"The recreation of an original text is where a certain text that is set in a certain form and taken and rewritten into a different one using by using the atmosphere which is describe in the emotional mood and physical description. It also must keep the same three basis' of the text which are setting, characters and action". Most of the students in the class where very impressed with what was supposed to be a dumb Rosewood girl who turned out to actually have a brain. But Sam loved English it was one of the things she was pretty good at, academically that is.
"Fourth and final question. Explain the difference between fiction and non-fiction and what they are used for".
"Fiction is based on opinions and ideas, things that aren't real like in stories and plays that include made up characters, events and settings. Whereas non-fiction is based on fact using statistics which can be proven. It's based on reality and real life events, this is commonly found in newspapers opposed to Magazines because they are fictional based and are filled with the writer personal opinions and ideas". Sam smiled "Am I done?" she asked before making her way back to her seat.
"Well class looks like we may have found our new top student" Sam couldn't believe it Ms Briggs had deemed her top of the class.
Ms Briggs moved swiftly on with her lesson after that. The rest of the period flew by quite quickly by and the class got up to leave as the bell went. Sam was heading for the door when she heard someone say her name "Sam".
She turned around to see it was Ms Briggs. "Yes Ms Briggs is there something you want?" she asked in her most fake sweet voice she could.
"I would like to offer you a little advice Sam. You can get a lot further in life if you cut the tough-girl-I-don't-care act. You are very good at English I've had a look at you previous work from Rosewood, some of your work is the best I have seen in years, you have a real talent for writing. And I don't give out to many compliments, I expect great things from you Sam" Ms Briggs smiled.
"Thanks Ms Briggs" Sam smiled, not one of her fake smiles but a genuine smile, and then left for her next class.
'I can't believe she likes my work nobody has ever said that much about it, a teacher thinks I can actually do something other than be a nuisance.
