Chapter Three
774 Words
Our teacher, Mrs. Sweet was busy writing an equation on the board. The equation read ( a + b ) 2 = a 2 + 2 a b + b 2, I couldn't make hide nor hair of what she was trying to teach us.
"These are the basics of Algebra." Mrs. Sweet mentioned, luckily for us the bell rang just as she was finishing up.
"Ok class, I want you to study chapter one through three tonight, we'll review in the morning."
I was so glad class was over, the sound of my head banging on my desk could be heard throughout the classroom.
"You okay there Ami?" Rudy said with concern in his voice. I groaned, why did I have to learn this. Math was so simple last year.
"I'm fine, my head just hurts that's all." I said as I groaned some more. Rudy chuckled slightly before patting me on the back. "There there, I'm sure Jackie will be able to help you with your homework." he said as if the class wasn't horrible.
Jackie Lynn was a wiz when it came to math, if it wasn't for her tutoring over the years I probably would of flunked every math class that I've ever had.
I grumbled for a moment before placing my textbook into my backpack. "Thank god that this is over with, now onto world history." I said.
My next class was world history with Miss. Holloway, learning about past events in the world had always excited me so it was one of my favorite classes to attend. "I'll catch you later Ami, try not to be late for your next class." Rudy said happily, how could he be so chipper after the mess of a lesson we were just taught. I would soon leave my class and start to make my way down the hallway, I passed by many of my classmates who were gossiping among themselves in the hallway.
"Good morning Ami." I heard a voice call out to me. Glancing towards the voice I noticed a classmate of mine. Her purple pigtails swayed as she walked towards me. "Oh hey Misty, how are you today?" I asked politely. Misty was a very popular girl around campus, especially with the boys. Ever since she had gained some growth in her chest over the Summer the boys couldn't keep her eyes off of her. Misty however was a real sweetheart, albeit a clutz at times. As she approached me her walk soon came to a halt as she tripped over her own foot.
"Owie zowie." she said as she winced in pain from hitting the floor. The other students just looked at her, quite a few laughed at her. I just shook my head and extended my hand down towards her. "You got to be more careful Misty." I said. "You're going to really hurt yourself one of these days if you keep falling down like that."
She took my hand in hers, she looked at me with those big green eyes of hers as I helped her stand to her feet. Once she straightened her outfit she acted like nothing had just happened.
"You okay now?" I asked, concerned for her. I considered Misty a friend, even though we never really hung out together. "I'm fine, I'm fine." she responded. "So what was it you wanted?" I asked. She swayed her body side to side while she placed her hands behind her back. "Do you have any plans after school?" she asked, curious as to what I was going to do. I crossed my arms to think, already knowing what I was going to do.
"I was planning on going to the park, I got this wonderful book I've been reading." I could see her eyes widen, she looked excited.
"Could I come with you, I love the park." she asked. I pondered for a moment. "Normally I like to read by myself." "Oh please, I'll stay quiet I promise." she said excitedly cutting my sentence off before I could finish what I was saying. "I mean you're more than welcome to come with, I can't tell you what you can do."
Misty jumped for joy, she was really a strange girl, but at the same time she was such a sweetheart.
"We'll walk together after school, I can't wait." she said happily. She placed her hands in front of her and bowed to me, she was always doing stuff like that. She waved goodbye and went on her way, I stared at her as she disappeared around the corner. "Guess my plans are changing." I said
