" I'm Derek by the way," he smiled as they maneuvered through the hallways.
" I'm Amelia," She smiled back and continued," Can I see your schedule?"
" Oh. Yeah," he answered puzzled. He reached in his pocket and pulled out the folded piece of paper and handed it to Amelia. She looked over it carefully then looked back at hers.
She grinned and said," We're in all the same classes except lunch."
" Haha, nice." Derek answered slipping his schedule back into his pocket. He noticed the way she looked at him. It was different. It was caring. He could read her. He could read anyone. Derek looked at the door of the room that stood before him, 303, was labeled on the front of the door.
" Here it is," he smiled as he opened the door to the classroom. Inside the teacher was sitting at his desk, paying the two no attention, his eyes glued to the computer screen. He was tall, lean, and had a scruffy brown beard. Derek looked around and saw Dave sitting in the back talking to another student. He glanced over at Derek and nodded hello.
" Come. Sit next to me," Amelia smiled as she ran her fingers between his and led the way as she took a seat in the second row beside the window. Derek followed and took the seat beside her. The bell rung and several other students rushed in before the teacher stood up and closed the door and sat back in his seat. As the students got settled in someone began speaking on the school's speaker.
" Good morning, all returning students and welcome all freshman. This is principal, Jodi Payne, with today's announcements. Today football and cheerleading tryouts will be held on the upper field. First cuts will be made Wednesday and final cuts will be made Friday. Soccer tryouts will also be held today, but on the lower field…" As the principal continued, Derek leaned over towards Amelia to whisper something in her ear, but was interrupted when the teacher slapped a thick book onto his desk and then continued to pass the rest out to the rest of the class. Derek got back up in his seat, annoyed, and picked up the book. On the face of it read, Biology.
Derek looked up as the teacher stood up before the class from behind his desk and said." I am Mr. Abrahms and this, as the book explains, is Biology. This is no easy course and there is no easy way to pass…" Derek frowned, but then turned his attention to the seat behind Mr. Abrahms. He leaned a little back in his chair and focused on the shadow of the chair. He took a glance up at Mr. Abrahms then looked down again. With the motion of his eyes the shadow crept away pulling the chair slowly with it. Derek watched as Mr. Abrahms sat down missing the chair and falling to the floor. The class burst in laughter as the teacher quickly tried to recover from the fall. He reached for the desk, but his fingers slid across the papers stacked on his desk as he fell again.
His face was hot red." WHAT THE HELL IS SO FUNNY?!?!" He yelled as the class quickly fell silent as he paused trying to gain some composure. He snatched his scattered papers up from the floor then continued," Open your books to page 7. Pull out a notebook." Derek stood up from his seat and picked up several sheets of paper that fell from the teacher's desk.
" Here, you dropped these too," Derek said trying not to grin. The teacher looked up at him in disgust and snatched them from his grasp. Derek turned around and chuckled as he walked back to his seat. He reached in his backpack and pulled out a green notebook. He looked over at Amelia who ran her fingers through her hair as she looked down at her textbook and then over at Derek with a smile on her face.
