Franklin High is nothing short of a nightmare. Today is the first day of the tenth grade. We haven''t even made it through the first period, and Mrs. Bernstein is already giving me the third degree.


    “Marcella?”


    I look up from my doodling to see her staring at me.This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

    I hate school. I do not see the point in learning about things that I will never use in the real world.


    "Marcella? Are you listening?”


    “Yes, Mrs. Bernstein. You have got my full and undivided attention. Do go on.”


    Apparently my tone is bad-mannered or something, because next thing you know I am sitting in a chair outside of the principal’s office.
