A tall man walks into the room holding a stack of papers and immediately begins to pass them out. Great now we have work to do also, what is this school? I thought this was just going to be listening to some old person talk about how our poor decisions brought us here, or how he can help us change to be better society members or some crap. Yup I'm in hell for sure ugh.
"Alright guys I'm Mr. Hill please feel free to call me Alec if you'd like. How is everyone tonight?" The man says smiling. No one speaks back much less pays him any attention and continues speaking to one another. "Im so glad you could all join me here tonight. I've got a great decision for us tonight. Great I'm stuck with a Mr. Cool guy wannabe teacher.Ugh how worst can this stupid class possibly get. Just as I start to think I've literally died and this is my new hell the door slammed open.
"Sorry we're late we turned down the wrong road." States the intruder.
Oh thank goddess someone I actually know maybe this won't be so bad after all I think as I smile at Amy. She instantly sees me and makes a beeline towards me to the empty seat to my right. And what do you know Eric is in tow behind her. I should have know. Oh yeah this just got a lot better. Let the fun begin..
"That's alright it's the first day so we will let it slide just this once." Mr cool dude says still smiling. Gezz what is it with him and all the smiling. He then goes on saying something about let's get started and wants us to go around the room introducing ourselves I quickly lose interest.
"Hey, why didn't you tell me you'd be here tonight or that you was forced to take this class to?" Amy leans over and whispers to me. I can't help but smile wide knowing I'd mention to her more then once that I'd be here. But leave it to Amy to still remain oblivious to everything that isn't Eric. Amy and I have been more then best friends almost like sisters since we was in diapers. Our mothers being friends since grade school as well. At least till they had a falling out last year over me and Amy being bad influences on one another. Each blaming the other one for our excessive partying and what not, her mom blaming me mine blaming Amy. Now they have banned us from seeing one another outside of school not that either of us listens to that rule though.
"Actually I did, I texted you right after court last week complaining about it and asking if you'd guys had seen the judge yet. And i even mentioned it again this morning in the court yard.. Let me guess you were to busy sucking face with Eric though and not hearing me right or have you again misplaced your phone as you always do ha!" I say laughing which cost me a kick under the table only making me laugh harder. To of which of course catches Mr. Cool dudes attention as he begins to stare at me from my laugher at Amy.
"I do not suck face with Eric thank you. Just a few light makeout sessions..every chance we get!" She states smiling widely. This got us both laughing hard. Which in return again got Mr. Cool guys attention.
"Hey girls since we seem to be enjoying ourselves so much why don't one of you go next!" He states no longer smiling.
"OK" i say smiling right back at him smugly."My names Hayden, I like sleeping, listening to music, my best friend here Amy and dislikes are this class and strongly dislikes are people and oh yeah this class again the end." I say rather dead serious but also challenging at Mr. Cool guy while causing the room to bust into laughter which catches me the rather stern not to pleased look I've come to know all to well.
"OK well thank you for that Miss Hayden, but I think that's enough tonight with interductions so why don't we just go ahead and get started with tonight's lesson shall we?" When no one said anything he continued anyway "Tonight let's talk about about respect and what it means. What does respect mean to you?"
"It means you do as your told" one guy says laughing while highfiving another.
"Nah man it means you want something from me then you gotta do something for me first" pipes another. Some the few girls that are here starts arguing about what's being said calling the boys pigs or dogs.
"NO Respect is how you should treat EVERYONE!" Pipes a girl upfront.
Just as im ready to bang my head on the table or to just blankly tell them all to shut up the guy next to me from earlier speaks making everyone quite and I actually can't help but just stare. Not really believing what comes out his mouth.
"Wrong wrong and wrong, respect means that you accept somebody for who they are, even when they're different from you or you don't agree with them. Respect in your relationships builds feelings of trust, safety, and wellbeing. Respect doesn't even come naturally dispite what one thinks or is taught. In truth its something that is learned." He finishes.
For a moment not even cool guy teacher says anything. Ok maybe I'm a little impressed here now, maybe he isn't a complete moron after all like the rest of these jack hats here. As I continue to stare though teacher guy finally speaks again.
"OK greatly put Mr.um im sorry what's your name young man?" Teach says
"Timmy." He speaks again.
"OK let's use Mr.Timmy's definition for a second here and talk about rather you agree with this or not and why or why not!" Cool dude states as he stands and walks to the chalkboard.The guy I now know as Timmy leans over towards me smiling again and lightly touches my chin.
"Here let me close that for you." He says as he lightly laughs leaning over to close my mouth i hadn't realized was hanging open and everything after that just became a blur then next thing I know its time to go. I stand to head out thankful it's over and I'm halfway out the door when he stops me.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to embarrassed you back there. I just didn't want that pretty face of yours to be hurt from your jaw hitting the floor." He laughs
"Ha you can't embarrass me and that's the worst line I've ever heard. Goodnight Mr.Timmy." I say more mocking than I meant to. I turn to leave and catch up to Amy and Eric.
"Hey Hayden when will your dogs pups be ready? Im still trying to convince my mom but i so want one of the blues." Eric says as i catch up in the parking lot.
"They still have a few weeks, They wont even be three weeks old till this Saturday so you have plenty of time. Or you could always just take one and take it home without telling you mom maybe then she will cave." I say laughing
"Ah puppies nice what breed are they?" Timmy ask, i hadnt even noticed him standing there.
"Um pitbulls and who invited you here?" Amy ask smiling and i cant help but laugh. Just then my mother pulls up. Ugh great. I hung Amy and promise to call later. I almost make it to the car when im stopped again. Seriously what is it with this guy.
"So maybe i can get your number and come see these pups sometimes?" I laugh and am about to say not a chance in hell but hes already handing me his phone.
"Um you got to put it in quick though before my girl pulls up, wouldn't want to cause any problems." He says. His girl? Hmm maybe i read into his smiling and nonstop attempts to talk to me wrong. Or he could just be a pig like every other guy i know. Either way i put in my number and then climb in the car.
