Crystal's Point of View
I sat in the back of Ms. Welsh's
science room, day dreaming, as always..What was she
even talking about? Who knows? Who cares. I looked around
the room at the rest of my classmates. Jock, jock,
cheerleader, athlete of some sort, jock, jock, athlete,
popular, popular, model, school b'itch, player, and
player..Who couldn't just one person in this class be
of the normal type? "Alright class! Time to pick
partner's for your science labs. Groups of two only,
please!" Ms. Welsh said in her sing-songy voice. At
once everyone in the class jumped up, searching the room
for their partners. I saw in my seat, doodling in my
notebook as I always did.
"Ohh! Jake doesn't have a partner!" the
school b'itch cried in her annoying, almost too perky
voice. *Oh, I guess I should tell you her name
now..It's Alexandra. Alex for short. It perfectly fit
her. perfectly.*
"Awwe poor baby!" one of the Alex's close
friends, Casey yelled batting her eyes at him.
"Jake. You'll have to work with Ms..." Ms.
Welsh looked down at her clipboard to find my name on the
seating chart. Half way through the year, and yet she still
doesn't know my name, but than again, who does?
"Ah! Here we are! Jake, you'll be working with Ms.
Andrews! Crystal Andrews? Are you here?"
I sat up in my chair and dropped my pencil, closing my
notebook in the same motion. "I'm here Ms.
Welsh." I said softly, never making any eye
contact.
"Ahh! Yes! Ok, Jake there's your partner, you may
begin the lab now." She said walking back to her desk
and flipping her hair. Wow...even the teachers
here were pretty stuck up.
Jake walked over and sat down at the chair next to me.
"Hi, I'm Jake." he said flashing me a small
grin.
"I know." I said flattly. "We've been
going to the same school since the second grade."
"Oh! Right!" he said flipping his hair away from
his eyes. He turned around and stared at Alex. It was
almost repulsive, the way any guy looked at Alex. You think
by now they'd realize she's as fake as Ms.
Welsh's boobs. I smiled to myself. Haha. I'm funny,
I thought to myself.
"So, should we start this, uh, lab, right?" Jake
said still staring at Alex.
I rolled my eyes, even though he couldn't see,
"Sure..Why not..." I said flattly, again.
"And I'm guessing by we, you mean me..." I
said under my breath as I started taking down the lab
instructions.
