Chapter Three

"Okay Miss Eros-Dallas. Here's your timetable and the key to your locker" the secretary said while giving me a warm smile

I check the locker number on my key and gave a slight sigh "Locker 350. I wonder where that could be." I said walking down the hallway as I said every locker number I passed. I was still on locker 150 and I was already late for my first class - Ap calculus so I decided to carry the few books I had in my hand and look for the so-called Ap calculus class.

After walking for five minutes, I found myself standing in front of a door that had a sign saying 'Ap calculus with Mrs Hillary'. I opened the door slightly and took a peek inside. I had no idea why I did that so I just opened the door fully and stepped right in. When Mrs Hillary heard the door open, she stopped what she was writing on the board and eyed me like I was some kind of animal let loose from the zoo. "And you are" she said with a frown.

"Actually I'm new" I told her as I tried to adjust my bag and books at the same time

"So your name is New," she said with a slight smirk on her face which made some students snicker. Her smirk was pretty annoying. I looked her straight in the eyes and with a straight face. I was about to respond but I just decided to give her the piece of paper the secretary gave me

"Kylie Eros-Dallas uh_" she was about to complete her sentence but I interrupted her

"It's Kylie Dallas. Eros is my grandfather's name" I said with a smile."

Take a seat beside Miss Mcquinn"she said while pointing to the red-haired girl whose face was buried in her book. I sat on the seat and brought out the small notebook I had in my bag since most of my books were in my 'very hard to find locker'.

Few minutes later, the bell was rung and everybody got out of the class. I checked my timetable and I had History as my next subject. I carried my books and bag and went in search of the History class. It wasn't really hard to find depending on the fact that it was three classrooms away from where I was.

How I knew?

I followed three students who were supposedly having the same class as I.

How I knew again?

I kind of heard them saying it. I entered inside the class and realized that the History teacher wasn't in the class. I decided to rest my head for a while because the AP calculus class I had really did some crazy things to my brain even if I just started from the middle of the topic 'Mrs grumpy' was teaching. AP classes were really going to get me good because I was taken three Ap classes; Calculus, Chemistry and Physics. I had no problem with Chemistry because it was my best subject, slight problems with Physics but Calculus was just the worst.

I couldn't help but chuckle when I rose my head to see a funny looking man entering the class. Turns out you can't get any sleep when students make  much noise.

The History teacher whose name was Mr Alberto was dressed in baggy trousers which was literally sweeping the floor and a shirt which looked like too much soap was used to wash it because it was faded. But the most hilarious thing about this man was his afro hair and thick glasses. Does he think this is the 90s?. I tried holding my laughter with so much force but I couldn't so I ended up giggling which got me a very suspicious stare from Mr Alberto and some students.

"Miss_" he said giving me a very hard stare.

"Dallas. Kylie Dallas". I told him still trying to take in the remaining laughter which was trying to push its way through my throat.

He looked at the piece of paper he had in his hand "Eros-Dallas". I guess the secretary had already given him information about me.

"Actually sir" I said folding my hands to my chest " Eros is my grandfather's name".I said with a smile. Mr Alberto just kept staring at me.

" Miss Eros-Dallas" he said walking towards his table.

This man really wants to annoying me huh!

"Could you tell the entire class why you were laughing" he said taking his seat while looking at me. I could see a small smirk on his face like he had caught me red handed.

Actually sir, you look funny. That's why I was  laughing.

But I just said that in my head to avoid getting into trouble. The old me would love to have said that but I'm trying to change for my Ma and for myself so I thought of something else.

" I kind of remembered something funny from this morning sir". I told him with my regular good girl smile. I knew he didn't buy that but I was surprised when he told me to have my seat. I just sat down without saying anything.

I didn't have time to go for lunch because I had to find my locker. I had been walking for ages and my legs were already aching. I was about to give up when I spotted a locker'350' just five lockers away.

Thank goodness.

I hurried towards the locker and opened it like I was trying to open a pack of Oreos. Finally I opened the locker and threw my books inside. I was already feeling hungry so I had to rush to the cafeteria seeing that I had five minutes left. I closed my locker and headed straight for the cafeteria.

The smell of food made my stomach growl and I couldn't help but agree with whatever it said. I got a tray and decided to get an Apple juice box and a Burger. I sat at the end of the cafeteria and as I was eating my food, I couldn't help but notice a group of students looking in my direction.

Was there food on my face?

A girl whispered in another girl's ear and before I knew it she was walking up to me.

"Hey babes". she said taking the seat in front of me. From the way she talked at the way she walked over here and her dressing, it was very obvious that she was none other than the school's' Mrs popular'. I would know because I was once like that. I didn't stop eating my food because I felt it would disappear but I answered her anyways

"How may I help you". I asked still eating my delicious burger.

She eyed me and just gave a slight smile "l couldn't help but notice you in history class today. The way you answered Mr Alberto was hilarious. Honestly it's only I and my group who reply teachers like that seeing that we are the popular kids".

"Very obvious". I mumbled under my breath so she couldn't hear me.

"Huh". She asked with a confused look on her face.

" Nothing. So it's that all you came to say". I asked her wiping the food particles on my face.
