1 New School

#Chapter1 New School

Run! Run! Run!

I ran from my house to the school, thank God it was only 5 blocks away. I ran through the new neighborhood, the birds were singing, the wind was hitting my face lightly, and the dogs were barking. It was truly a nice neighborhood to live in. But I can't stop looking at the new scenario. I'm late for my first day of class in a new school.

I can't believe that on the first day of my new school I overslept. Like how can I be so stupid! This is what happens when I start watching the first season of Stranger Things. Like I just started with one and I couldn't stop!

Don't start a new series on Netflix if you haven't watched it, kids. It could turn out interesting and you would want to watch the whole season.

I told myself I will stop every time I started a new episode, and when the episode finished, I said this will be the last one. As you could see how I'm rushing right now. It wasn't the last one.

When I stopped it was already 3:00 am. And I'm all to blame, even though the series was very entertaining. I blame the entertaining series.

I also blame the alarm clock. I forgot to turn it on. I'm telling you it should turn on automatically; and my mom didn't even try to wake me up. When she first saw me it was just to tell me to behave, and then she left the house, I still have a reputation as a straight-A student to maintain. I will just try not to talk back to the students (notice the keyword /"try/" ).

It’s just if they come upon me and start saying crap about how I should do their homework and projects, etc. How do you believe I will stay quiet with that bullshit! Like the fuck no you trick ass Bitch! Do it yourself.

I glanced at my wristwatch when I was finally in front of my first-period class, 8:25 am.

'Shit, the first day and I'm already late. And I didn't want to grab attention. I need to come up with an excuse, and quick', I thought while opening the door. All eyes were on me when I entered the classroom, I didn't like it. 'I got it', I thought as I came up with the perfect excuse.

/"And who are you and why did you show up late to my class?/" asked the somewhat bald teacher. I didn't like his attitude, but I need to respect him because I am the one at fault for coming late on my first day.

/"Hello sir, my name is Hunter Green and I'm a new student. I'm sorry for my tardiness, but you see it's just I got lost on the way here and when I was close by I noticed an injured animal and I needed to attend to his wounds, you see. I just couldn't leave the puppy suffering,/" I said as I made my perfect /"sad/" face. /"This will be the first and the last time you will see me late to your class, but please sir I ask for your forgiveness,/" I told the teacher. There were some /"aww/" from the background, I figured it was the girls, even the teacher awed a bit. I know that was a bit dramatic, but half of it is true; I did see a puppy along the way, but it wasn't injured, it was just separated from its mother.

/"Okay Mr. Green, I will forgive you just this once, but you got to promise me that you will stop coming late./" The teacher said while looking at the board, I noticed a small tear come out of his eye but he quickly brushed it away. 'Wow, did I move him that much?' I thought it was more a statement than a question.

/" I promise you, sir,/" I said. I gave him a small smile, while in my head, I cheered with joy for him buying mine slightly over a dramatic lie.

/"Well like you came late would you like to introduce yourself to the class./"

Crap! I hate doing introductions. It’s just, why would I introduce myself to people I don't even want to interact with.

/"Of course/", I said with a smile and headed in the middle of the class. /" My name as you already heard is Hunter Green, I recently moved here for personal reasons. I'm 17 years old, and I love animals and food/" I said with a smile. /"I hope we can get along/", I said as I smiled. I don't mean that, but I need to seem nice, right?

/"Are you single?/" a girl kinda yelled from the back.

/"Yes, but I'm not interested in being in a relationship right now. I need to concentrate on my studies,/" I said to her. I heard a few sighs of disappointment in the classroom.

/"What a nerd!/" a guy yelled from the back. His words slightly made me flinch and made the class chuckle a bit.

'Control yourself, Hunter, you promised mom that you wouldn't talk back before she left'. I thought, trying to calm myself down.

/"Damien respect your new classmate, and that goes for all of you!/" Said the teacher,

/"It's alright sir, I'm used to it. Let me just add this small comment./" I said to the teacher and he nodded. /"People like him in reality only seek attention, because he doesn't know how to seek it properly. In other words, he's just a clown trying to seek attention by saying incompetent words./" He looked at me in a confused look, while the class laughed. /"In other words, you lack knowledge,/" I said while the class laughed even harder.

/"Look you son of a--/"

/"Damien I told you to calm yourself!/" The teacher yelled at him. /" Now Mr. Green, I know you’re new here but it is not right to say those things, you hear?/"

The fuck?! I was just defending myself.

/"Yes sir, I'm sorry and I'm also sorry for you Damien,/" I said. I was lying to Damien, I wasn't sorry one bit.

/"I forgive you. Now sit in the empty seat in the back, the one that's next to the window. And Mr. Green just called me Mr. Johnson or teacher/" he said.

/"Yes, Mr. Johnson,/" I said. I walked towards my new seat. Yes, I'm sitting alone, thank the lord.

The so-called /"Damien/" gave me a glare from the corner of his eye. I just shrugged off his look and paid attention to the class.
