As the clouds began to roll in from the south the rain began to fall, slowly for the first few moments before becoming a torrential downpour. The young woman cursed softly as the water began to soak into her denim jacket as she pulled it around her body tightly as she slipped through the doors of the school. Pushing her wet hair out of her molten copper eyes as she headed down the hall towards AP English the only class during the day she could sleep through. As she stepped into the room she noticed the change in the seats and looked around noting a name written on the board as she slipped into a seat in the back watching as the room began to fill and finally the door closed revealing a substitute. She groaned softly as she pulled out her mangled copy of her course book and read over the notes she had scribbled in the margins when she had read the book this summer.
The day dragged by and by 2:45 she was bored out of her mind ignoring her physics teacher as the man began to talk about lab and partners, her eyes glanced over the other people in the room before stopping on the window as she watched the rain roll down the window. Walking home tonight was going to be awful. She sighed as someone got up and moved to sit beside her. She took in the boys form quickly before looking back out the window as the teacher began to explain how the assignment would be working and what was expected of them for their first project of the semester, taking down names as the man began to walk through the room taking down lab partner names stopping at her and clearing his throat
“Nadia Thompson” she said softly as the man nodded then looked at her name for a moment.
“You’re the sophomore aren’t you?”
“Yes” she sighed and looked up at him
“Good, good, very good” the man smiled and scribbled her name down as he moved on the boy next to her said his name and she could feel the eyes boring into her back as the man wrote his name down beside hers.
