I tossed and turned that night thinking about what my dad said to me. That I should get to know my teachers. I made it my mission the next day to put in an honset effort to accomplish this task. After all, you guys know that once I put my mind to something, it gets done: I do it.
I rode my bike to class that morning thinking it was a bright new day. I was feeling so ennergetic and upbeat that I popped a small wheelie. I got there twenty minutes before school started and went to find some of my teachers. I tried to find my science or philosophy teachers but neither of them were in their office. Oh well, all the kids were showing up and it was time to go to first period. I guess I'll try later.
English was okay, nothing much happened, although I did notice that Tony had stitches now. Man, I guess he took quite the fall yesterday. After class, when the rest of the kids left, I went up to Mrs. Boatwright's desk to talk to her about how my dad wants me to get to know my teachers.
"Hey um so-"
"GEEEEET OOOOOOUUUUUT!" she yelled and slammed her fist down. I turned around and left quickly.
I dragged my feet as I walked to my next class. I couldn't believe how badly this was going. I wanted to get to know my teachers, but what if they didn't want to get to know me?" I was feeling down in the dumps when I got to math class, and my math teacher definitely noticed.
"Hey, Fern?" he said. "Buddy? What's wrong?"
I sighed. Before I got a chance to answer Mr. Armenta put his hand on my should and said "here, tell you what, stick around after class and we'll talk about it." I went and got my seat. Man, my math teacher is so cool. That class, we did some math for a little bit but spent most of the time playing games on the smartboard.
Class ended, and I went over to the math teacher like he asked me to.
"Okay Fern, so what do you want to talk about?"
"Well dad wants me to get to know my teachers."
"Alright, well, what do you want to know about me? I like Star Trek and Star Wars, hey what did you think of Episdoe 7? I saw that opening night. For music I love Muse, and Fun, and I play guitar in my own band, I have a couple tracks online, oh yeah and I play competitive rock paper scissors, haha sorry couldn't say that without laughing. Oh and I've been really into Titanfall to."
My eyelids raised when he said Titanfall. I think he noticed me doing so.
"Oh hey you also play Titanfall too?" he said. "Here, I'll give you my gamertag. (a/n I won't give you my teacher's real gamertag, lol) Hit me up if you hop on Titanfall, or Halo 5,. See ya around Fern."
Mr. Armenta wrote his gamertag down and gave it to me. I shot up and left the room with a smile on my face.
After class eneded that day, I went home. A few hours later, dad got back from work. I was sitting in the kitchen eating a ham and jam sandwich. Yeah I know it sounds gross but one day my dad and I ran out of food and there only ham and jam and bread in the fridge so we tried it and it ended up beign pretty good, you should try it too.
Dad walked into the kitchen and said "haha hey Fern enjoying an H&J?" He saw that I made one for him too and he sat down at the table to eat with me.
"So hey Fern how did meeting all your teachers go?" he said through a mouth of ham & jam.
I told him about how it went but also told him that my math teacher is pretty cool and I added him on Xbox Live.
"Oh hey really, that's cool, your Parent Teacher conferences are coming up soon but maybe I won't have to wait that long to meet him if he's online."
After my dad was done eating his ham and jam he hopped online and what do you know, Armenta was online too. My dad set up a custom party and we all played some matches ad had fun.
