"Where were you?" Justin whispered to me as I took a sit beside him. "School", I reply. He He jokingly turns my words against me but later changes the subject. He then asks if I had my work submitted. Work? Submission? It then hits me that there was an assignment given to us the week before. I search through my purse. I check again pocking to each and every hole existing in that purse.
Just great , I don't have it. I change the conversation. Guess I'll have to deal with that later. "Breath" I compose myself and continue with the class. Since I was already there. There goes half of my credit scores. Lemme pray to god for a while. Praying for a miracle and maybe miracle might happen.
My nightmare only begins . I truly prefer knowing that something bad is going to happen to the bad thing actually taking place . My heart burned,crashed to the meer words of "you're are going to fail" Actually failing the whole class . Don't worry I got to repeat the whole assignment of which I'm uncertain if it's God vent or Hell bound . Let's get to work ."Student psychology...I barely typed a word and I already feel drained. To save me was Justin Park with his infamous comfort food/drink. I wonder what he bought to calm me down.
I tell him everything from yesterday up to date .All he could say was "Wow!" He was speechless. He did however grasp on the name Renée Rouse. He tells me everything but nothing to help me with the situation. I ain't trying to be rude but all he said we're echoes of what I already knew .I sigh and sip on my latte while looking out a huge window near me.
I stare widely to the parking lot. Let it be assured that a million and one thoughts ran through my mind. At the perfect moment J Park pops the big question that was in my head."...And what about Renée Rouse?" If I could be honest,I simply don't know. I mean I just met him. He turns out to be a student . You can fill in the rest of the gaps _ _ _. All in all I am doomed if I don't stop the drama waiting to happen.
Back to his question. Umm! About Renée Rouse."Apparently he is my new student," I say after some thoughts .'Yeah my new student,'I think to myself .I won't grow tired of saying that chaos is waiting to happen. He is left in shock. He proceeds to say ,"Think it through,think carefully. Do you still want to be in the same class as Renée?"
(Renée Rouse)***
It was break in Wisconsin.We were filling our guts but the main course had arrived. Well it arrived to the girls who fell for his effortless charm .To the boys he received hate (or maybe mixed emotions) He was a tool to the dweebs who had no luck with girls.The boy himself was only one day old at Wisconsin .Who else other than Renée Rouse.
To many ,first days are rough . Related to most , finding a sit was a test to see how shy you were. At some point that one girl/boy who is friendly gives you a start up guide to attract people around you. He was from another world. To the normal human nature we tend to get close to things foreign to us. Otherwise known as curiousity. Renée fit perfectly with the gang.
The cheerleading squad,geek club even some boys liked him. The just didn't want to admit it. Make room for the prince . Everyone made a special sit in between their groups. The only hard task was to choose which sit he would like. A choice he didn't have a privilege to. Of course the cheerleading squad snatched him before anyone else.
Renée basically caught the attention of everyone except for one girl. She too seemed new to this school. In the chaotic racket of getting his attention,she didn't seem to care at all. Brilliant!An opportunity for me to get to working. I'm a bit intrigued by her . A lonely blonde girl sitting by herself probably lost in her thoughts . I wonder how she felt. Brings me to a next phase of teaching 'how to gain trust from a pupil?'
I gave her a solemn hello to show my kind side. Luckily for me she responds to the greeting. I say hello again whilst I take my sit beside her. A bit of nervous chuckle here and there to make sure this wasn't a complete reck. Once I sat down I realized that no words could come from my mouth to kick start a conversation. So I began with an obvious question" Are you new here?"
The silence after my question gave me insecurities. Instant regret hit me with the 'I shouldn't have said that'
Change of tactic,"Really good isn't it"(pointed at the cafeteria food) She stared at the food but then replies with 'I guess so' That being said that she was scrunching her shoulders. I thy to myself maybe bidding around the bush and cut straight to the chase. It might be a too straight forward question. Especially now when she doesn't want to open up.
"What's your name?" I ask sweetly and showed off some teeth while doing so.
"I'm Miss Day"As soon as I introduced myself the bell goes off. She runs off to class almost immediately. I have a feeling that I failed the meet and greet terribly. I have a lesson to attend. Let's put that aside,shake it off not forgetting to prepare myself for the lesson. On the way to class I meet up with Mr.Mertin . He walks up to me with a student too covered up to gain recognition .
He came up to me with a strict instruction . The instruction being that I should stick with the girl. Coincidentally,she had a lesson in my class.
