Unwanted Test

Bing! Bing!
The bell rings which indicates that it is time to start the most dreadful part of the day…..MATH. A girl with short black hair that unfortunately is always frizzy at the top, trudges up the run-down ramp and gets ready to open the door, but instead, to find it already opened for her by a boy with his jeans to high up for her taste. “Here you go!”, says the boy. And he hands her the two workbooks filled with the contents she probably doesn’t even remember from the day before or yesterday. “Thanks”, she replies. She un-zips her backpack to find: 2 notebooks, a bunch of pencils (without any lead even in them), and an eraser that had been wrote on by what seemed like thousands of people. She laid out her supplies and neatly put them on her desk and beside her.
Then walked in a girl that had black skinny jeans on and a purple shirt and cami. Her hair was highlighted with blonde. Some people liked to call her a girl that looked “scene” Which was a perfect topic for her to argue about. The same boy before said something about the weather, and she shot him a nasty look of, “Will you just shut up.” Obviously, she did NOT feel like hearing once again a story about weather, deer, or tractors!! She sits down and says, “I really don’t want to be here.” “Same here.” While the two girls talk about how math has nothing to do with what they plan to do in the future, a loud, humungous monster walks in singing as loud as he can a song of rap. He raises his hand out and yells, “What’s up!” she looks at the monster and has to let out a laugh and turns back around to face the “scene” girl. Right before the announcements came on, a petite brunette comes walking as graceful as a ballerina and hands the math teacher a slip for being absent. She walks back and sighs when she slowly drowns in her chair. “Here you go!”, says the boy that happily welcomed the other girl before. Handing her the two green math books, that had the color of green puke, that had aged for a long time in the sun.
CUT! Your probably thinking… why can’t this writer just tell me the names?! Well, this really happened, and I don’t want anyone getting offended or something…I’m leaving it…anonymous. But there is two characters that can be confused by…so I’ll name one…R… and one E. Okay? Let’s continue…
[R] says thanks and grimaces at the green math workbooks of puke. She turns to the other [E] “You know, we have a math test today.”, the [E] states. Both girls shudder at the name. “You make it sound so evil!”, says [R] “Well, I’m not going to take it since I have been out and couldn’t learn the math” She walks over to the math teacher and they discuss it. Meanwhile, a girl is arguing with a girl that has perfect volumed brown hair who is applying makeup at the moment. “Oh my gosh. Do you have a black-eye?”, states a boy who clearly sprayed a good dose of NOT environmental-friendly hairspray. He’s wearing some shoes that look like they came from an indian tribe… which are called…”wallabies”. “Noooo. This is eyeshadow. You know what that is right?”, she says. The subject drops and it’s time to recite the American Flag. When it’s done, [E] asks urgently. “Soooo?” [R], “He won’t let me take it after school or tomorrow..I have to take it TODAY.” “I’m probably going to fail, and if I do, it’s not my fault” [R] shoots a dagger look at the teacher and the two girls continue talking. [E],”Don’t worry about it. He’s an idiot anyway and doesn’t know what he is even talking about.” [R] sighs…”whatever. I didn’t want to be here anyway.” [E] says, “Same.” The “scene” girl and the perfect volumized hair girl says, “Oh gosh! Yes!” “Ditto.”, says the john deer boy. The 4 girls stare at him and simply roll their eyes and wait for the unwanted test…. to arrive.
