I was concerned for River’s sake, they were shaking in their boots, although I knew they weren’t in danger. Mr. Johns was about the nicest science teacher you could ask for. River looked terrified, until her expression turned to being totally and completely dumbfounded. Mr. Johns, instead of hitting her head with a cleaver as she clearly expected, introduced himself and then assigned her to her lab partner, Mya Sullivon. Mya was so inexplicably horrible to me, and I was sure that soon River would agree with me, heck maybe even care more than me! I’m a pretty patient after all. I could just picture it now, we’d grow a thousand times closer over this! But, who cares anyway? It’s not like I even know River that well, they can do what they want... But it would be awful nice to have another person that treats me humanely, traditional republican town and all, they seemed nice, but I was sure they would be reasonably unfriendly to someone so irrefutably painstakingly completely, and totally awful as a human being that she would be an insult to hell! So, I suffered through another lesson on how iodine and phosphorus react chemically, something about a formula and some weird theoretical reaction we’d never get to test. Apparently it was “dangerous” and “way too expensive”, what’s the point about learning about powerful acid if we never get to make it? Although I suppose it was a good thing, I mean there might be a dead student after that experiment, and I’m not one to name names, but it would be my new friend's lab partner… I suppose she really would be an insult to hell then. I snapped back to reality with a start. Mr. Johns was asking me to answer a review question. Oh shit I wasn't listening. “ Mr. Johns, I zoned out, sorry.” He looked at me. I know what he was thinking. “Kai the question was, What is the iodine and phosphorus reaction equation?” I'm so glad I listened to that part of the lesson. “ Phosphorus reacts with iodine as shown in the chemical reaction: 2P(s) + 3I2(s) --> 2PI3(s) If 28.2 g PI3 is obtained from the reaction of 48.0 g of I2 with 50,0 grams of phosphorus, a) Calculate the theoretical yield for the reaction” I answered. I was so proud of myself. Then he looked at me. “Kai remember to focus and not ‘zone out’ during important lessons.” Man, why did he have to say that. I looked around the room to see if anyone was looking… everyone was. Why did I even look, I knew everyone was. Then my eyes reached River. She was talking to Mya Sullivon. We can call her double bitch face, because that's what she is. She was probably talking shit about me right now! I bet rivers parents and Mya’s parents would get along great. Both sets of parents were the incarnation of a demon, a crab, a snake, and a fun sucking vampire all in one. Mya was the gosip goddess. She had shit on everyone. And if she threatens to blackmail you you know she got some good smut on you. Her minions were skinny brunette girls with small boobs and little to no ass. She probably chose them because she would look the hottest out of them. Blonde hair, blue eyes, skinny, large boobs, and a big ass, what everyone wants in a girl. Well not me, her personality sucks plus she has no taste in music. Plus her faverite after school activity is fucking the football jocks. I heard the Quarterback was gay, but boys in our school tend to use things like that as teasing, so I suppose it could be incorrect. She's salty either way, her IQ is about negative fifty million, unless it’s to do with ruining lives. The real smart one was Samantha Tompkins, if Mya had an IQ of negative fifty million, hers is about fifty BILLION. Although, otherwise she matched the other minions, Long brown hair, freckles, and she wore the same short skirt and bedazzled t-shirt, although she did seem to stick out, she was just like the rest in any other way. I bet she sucked up to Mya, I bet she even does the Double Bitch head’s homework. Otherwise if it wasn’t for the small classes, and the whole being-stuck-in-the-same-class-with-them-forever thing, I wouldn’t even know the other members of the tagalongs names. Anyways since I do here’s the names in case your one of the ‘lucky’ few to run into them in the future, this list AKA the second half of my hitlist, your welcome:

Clover Davis, best described as ‘the main character’ always drifting off and accusing others of copying her, sorry I bought the same shirt from one of the two only clothing shops in town!

Amelia Amelia Woods, only there for the limelight, looks about as good as maya but butters her up so she still hasn’t been booted yet.

Olivia Tray, the ‘fashionista’ of the school, her trends only catch on when Maya actually does them, so rarely.

Ella Vator, I don’t know what her parents were thinking with her name, but overall she’s forgettable, unless you count her bad haircut.

And finally Flora, I pity her parents, they tried to make her a sweet girl that at least has some sense of morals, instead they got a gossip queen that doesn’t even know that half the school's gossip revolves around her.

I think I might just be a valuable member of her group, I have dirt on everyone, although that is mostly them. Overall, they all are completely overshadowed by Mya. I suppose Amelia has a shot if she gets some good dirt on Mya, I’d practically beg her for it. UGH I was drifting off again, although this might be good material for a book. By the time I had brought myself back to reality we were already half way through the lesson, I would for sure not know what was going on when we got to the test. Now they had moved on to a completely new equation. I hate it when I need to do math in science, why can’t we just do math in math and science in science!?! I knew I had just dreamt away most if not all of science class. I guess this wasn’t anything new, but I can’t think about that! We are studying science, we are studying science, we are studying science I told myself knowing I would forget it in seconds, surprisingly I did pretty well at focusing, although I have no clue what he was talking about. I looked back at Mya who was still talking with River, and River was…. SMILING!?! Maybe it was a fake smile but it sure seemed real. I couldn’t believe Mya and River! Was this some sort of sick joke? It had to be! I couldn’t even comprehend standing Mya, let alone being acquaintances let alone friends! Not with that spawn of satan, snake, with tarantulas on top! Hehhe the snake and the rodents… FOCUS, your new friend is being pulled to the dark side faster than a rabbit running to a carrot! I couldn’t really do anything however, and my mind was soon pulled to instagram posts and cute frogs with the occasional interruption of Mr. Johns asked a question that I DEFINITELY had no clue what the answer was. I still couldn’t shake off the feeling that I had lost my new friend. The bell rang, it was time for ELA, I wasn’t going to bother trying to catch up to my so-called friend, before they caught up to me! “Hey, what’s with the hurry, aren’t you supposed to be my tour guide?” she asked me, in a surprisingly serious and sad tone with no hint of a joke in sight.“Oh I just thought-” I started “it doesn’t matter, let’s get to class.” “What class do you have next?” I asked, hoping they also had ELA. They did! And this time, there weren’t assigned seats, which means she’d be sitting with me and not that fun sucking vampire Mya. I thought about asking them, but I chose not to. It was then, halfway to class I had realized, I had never really asked them what their pronouns were, I sorta had just assumed, based on the whole not-using-their-legal-name thing. So I decided to ask, but by the time I worked up the courage to ask, we were already at class. We headed inside and grabbed the two closed seats at the door and sat down. By now not many people were in class, science was pretty close to ELA, so we got there relatively fast. Ms. Coral passed out the bellwork at the door. We started on our bellwork as Mya McBitch Face entered the classroom. She looked so upset when she saw her new “soon to be minion” was sitting with her mortal enemy, (dramatic music starts playing) A GAY PERSON!!! She snarled at me. I looked at her smirked and then started helping River with their work, just to prove to Mya that we were friends. Man do I love it when she's mad. I mustered up the courage to ask River what their pronouns were. “Hey, River…” I started “Huh” River replied before I spat out the question “I was wondering-” River saw Mya and smiled at her “hey, you can sit with us!” We glanced at each other, both immediately knowing we’d have to pretend to get along. Mya smiled and took the chair directly next to me, normally I would be mad but she in a cheerful voice asked me “oh, Kai how have you been? It’s been a while!” I knew it was a charade, but I decided to play along. “Good, and you?” I said in a less convincing tone. River looked at me, then anticipating a response. “Okay but- no wait I shouldn’t say…” she said looking like she was about to burst out in tears. River looked at Mya sympathetically, “no, please tell us!” Mya could barely keep from giving one of her signature smirks, “well… it’s just that being around Kai reminds me of bad memories…” she said, pretty crying. I didn’t know what she was on about, but I did know this…. Mya would be dead by monday.
