I don't think I'd pay any attention to the class if you were there.

September 16th- Monday

Sofia wakes up at 6:30am. After groaning and thinking of an excuse to not go to school, she could only think of one reason to go: to see Robin. It was the first school year to which she wasn't even a bit excited.

Sofia finally gets out of bed, gets dressed and does her hair and makeup. She walks to the kitchen and makes coffee and breakfast for her and Dustin. Since their mother only wakes up at 8am for work, because of her new schedule, Sofia has a lot more work to do in the mornings than before.

Dustin runs to the table and starts eating very fast. After he's done eating, he runs to the bathroom to brush his teeth very quickly. When he's done, he kisses Sofia goodbye, pats Tews and grabs his bike.

Sofia grabs her book from her bedside table, her Madonna cassette and walks to the car. She used to pick Cher up from her house every day, but now that she doesn't have to do that it feels weird.

Arriving at school, 5 minutes before the bell rings, she groans and checks if she has everything she needs. Taking a deep breath, she opens the car door and gets out. She starts to freak out as she sees everyone.

What would she say if the teachers made them talk about their summer? Oh, I just fought this interdimensional monster and kissed my crush who is, in fact, a girl!

As she walks to the entry, her heart starts beating faster and her palms start to sweat. She starts nervously tapping her leg with her fingers to the beat of Angel by Madonna.  Walking in, she immediately starts looking for Robin. Not her locker, not her classroom. Robin.

As she walks through the hallways, she tries to keep her head up and seem confident. She makes a mental note to not forget to sign up for the debate team.

It's now 2 minutes before the bell rings and she finally spots Robin by locker 44, alone, putting her books inside the locker.

"Oh jeez, hi" Sofia says desperately.

"Hi, oh my God" Robin says with the same tone. "I'm trying so hard not to die right now"

"Yeah, same. I don't wanna be here at all" Sofia says.

"Right?! And it annoys me so much that like eighty percent of these people don't even wanna learn" Robin says, looking around. "What do you have now?"

"German, what about you?" Sofia asks as she grabs her schedule.

"History" Robin replies and the bell starts to ring.

"See you after class?" Sofia asks.

"Yeah, good luck" Robin says, closing her locker and grabbing her backpack.
