Chapter 10 - The First Class

Maria woke up early the next day.
Today was Monday, the very first day of classes in Supul Academy.
Summer was over.
Vicky and Sara were already awake.
“And then Ryan accidentally dumped the steaming-hot coffee all over my new blouse, disintegrating the fabric - “ Sara continued from like last night.
“Maria you’re awake what a relief!” Vicky interrupted happily.
“Hi. I have to go to science now, with someone really stupid named Professor Noriega,” Maria said.
“Both of us too!” Sara cried.
“Unfortunately,” Vicky muttered.
After a quick apple-free breakfast, the 3 set out for science. . .
It turned out that a lot of people Maria had noticed were in the same science class.
Logan, Ashley, Alex, Conrad, George, Vito, and the wheel chaired Kristen Kripple were all in it, along with a bunch of other random people.
Maria sat behind Vicky and Sara.
It turns out that Professor Noriega was the teacher Maria had encountered in the auditorium, who forced her to go up on the stage.
“Today,” Noriega began,” we were going to study the idiocy of Simon Cowell not likin’ me, but some people weren’t likin’ the idea.”
The class was silent with confusion.
“So we’ll be studying rocks instead. Weee,” Noriega said, absentmindedly throwing heavy rocks to the frightened students.
“Ohhh . . .,” all of them sighed.
Maria said there, staring motionless at the rock on her desk.
“Psst,” a voice behind her said.
Maria turned around.
It was Logan, the strange boy on the flying hair straightene r.
“You’re actually supposed to touch the rock,” he whispered.
“What are you, a nerd?” Maria whispered back.
“Oh my God NO!” Logan shouted.
“Whatever, shut up. Not doin’ it,” Maria replied.
Conrad, the polite tea-drinking boy walked by, followed by a strange older kid with rainbows bursting out of his body that Maria didn’t recognize.
“Who’s that?” Maria whispered.
No one answered.
