Kevin, Jen and I went to the office and got our schedules. We weren't too happy about them.
"I can't believe I only have one class with each of you guys. This sucks! Now who am I going to talk to during class?"
I laughed,"Well, maybe it's a sign that you should start paying attention and actually learn something. And look at the bright side, we all have lunch together."
Kevin glanced at his watch. "Five minutes guys. Eli, see you at lunch!" He turned to Jen. "Shall we?" He offered his arm, and Jen accepted.
"We shall..I guess. Off to English! See you Bethy-poo!" Jen blew a kiss while Kevin dragged her down the hall. I went over my schedule again.
First Global Studies/ Sociology-Room 101
Second Trigonometry-Room 115
Third Human Phys-Room 106
Fourth Gym-Gymnasium
Fifth B Lunch-Cafeteria/ Study Hall-Room 110
Sixth English-Room 107
Seventh Theatre Arts-Auditorium
The halls started to empty as everyone went into the classrooms. I made my way to room 101. As I walked through the door, the teacher handed me a few papers; it was mostly rules, but there was also a monthly syllabys. The class was mostly full, but there were a few empty desks toward the front. I chose the desk next to the window. Soon after, the bell rang and the teacher closed the door. She went to the board behind her desk and wrote 'Ms. Patterson' and the date. Ms. Patterson started talking about the rules, then what the class was about, and then her syllabys. She only talked about twenty minutes before she turned us loose to talk to one another. I looked around the room. People were moving around so they could talk to their friends. I didn't see anyone I could really talk to, so I put my head down.
'This is going to be a long day. Heh, I guess first days aren't that great if you only have two friends and they aren't even in your classes..Yup, long day..'

The bell finally rang after another half hour or so. As I made my way to Trig, I saw Jen running down the hall.
"Yes! A class with you! And you will never believe it. There's a new English teacher and he is SO cute!" Jen smiled ear-to-ear. She linked arms with me and we walked back the way she came. Actually, she half-ran while dragging me behind her.
"Look Liz look! He's standing by the door! How cute is he?!"
"Kay Jenny, I left my Swiffer at home, so you'll need to stop drooling. All I see is the back of his head anyway." I glanced over at her. She wasn't even paying attention and slowly dropped her arm from mine and sighed. I rolled my eyes and looked back to where she couldn't look away.
"Woah.." I mumbled. I could see his face now, Jen was right, he was cute...for a teacher, anyway.
"HA! I told you!" Jen half yelled as we walked past him. He gave her a weird look, probably the same look I gave her. I looked back at him, offering a small smile. Once we were well past him, I asked Jen for his name.
"Mr. Knight. I don't know the first name. He said it, but I was too busy gawking. Kevin should know though. Knight, what a fitting name..like knight in shining armor."
"Oh,well, Trig time. Eh, not really. More rules probably. You can talk all you want about Knight-in-shining-armor when teacher's done talking,kay?"
She agreed, and once the teacher was done she started talking about English. I really wasn't paying attention, I was too busy thinking of the Knight to pay attention. Why does English have to be at the end of the day?
Mr. Adam Knight. {I love Matt Damon.. <33}
