DIGITAL HIGH SCHOOL
Monday morning, Destiny is in school going to meet the guidance counselor like she was told to do

Destiny
How will someone just tell me to meet the guidance counselor without even giving me directions (she mumbles to herself) see as I'm moving my lips while talking to myself, people will think I'm mad. Actually they already do, that's why they are staring like goofballs (she mumbles again. She continues walking around the school when the school bell rang) is it time for assembly? (She questions herself)

Stephanie
Hi, you look a little bit lost, are you looking for someone or...(Destiny points to herself to make sure this girl is actually talking to her) yes, I'm talking to you

Destiny
Well, I'm looking for the guidance counselor's office

Stephanie
Ohhh, you are going to start attending this school(Destiny nodded) well, follow me(Destiny follows her)

Destiny
Em (she clears her throat) the bell that just rang, is it for assembly? (Stephanie tilted her head quizzically) nevermind

Stephanie
The bell signifies that it's time to be in class silly (she smiles) here we are (they are standing in front of a door with a big sign on it saying guidance counselor)

Destiny
Thanks

Stephanie
Yes, I remember your face now, we bumped into each other at the mall yesterday

Destiny
Ohh, yeah. It's nice meeting you again

Stephanie
My name's Stephanie by the way, what's your name?

Destiny
My name's Destiny

Stephanie
Okay Destiny, bye, I have to get to class now

Destiny
(Knocks on the door and she was told to come in) Good morning ma

Mrs Smith
Good morning Destiny(she smiles) have a seat (Destiny seats) okay, your necessary books are in you locker which I'll show you to in a minute. Now, remember that no one should intimidate you here okay, I can see you are from a rich home so, I don't think anyone can intimidate you

Destiny
"Rich home? Me that doesn't have anything" (she thinks to herself)

Mrs Smith
My name is Mrs Smith, that's what you should call me (she stands up) let me show you to your locker(they both leave the office and go straight to Destiny's locker) this is your locker. Later on you can put a combination which only you should know and remember so no one can open it. Take your biology notebook and textbook let's get going to your class, you are already late

IN THE CLASS

Mrs Smith
(Opens the door) Good morning miss Charlotte, sorry for interrupting your class

Miss Charlotte
No problem Mrs Smith. I know it must be something important for you to do so

Stephanie
She's finally here (she whispers to her friend)

Ogechi
So she's the new girl?(she whispers back to her friend)

Mrs Smith
Okay everyone, we have a new student as you can all see. You all should be nice to her, I don't want to hear any complaints from her okay

All students
Yes Mrs Smith.

Mrs Smith
Introduce yourself

Destiny
"You can do this Destiny"() Hi everyone, my name's Destiny and I'm 18 years old

Mrs Smith
Good. Now go seat beside Princess. There's a vacant seat there so you will know where you are supposed to seat when you get there

Destiny
Okay Mrs Smith(she finally finds her seat while Mrs Smith leaves the classroom)

Miss Charlotte
Okay, as I was saying, an ecosystem consists of all organisms and the physical environment with which they interact. This is to say that plants, animals, and other organisms as well as weather and landscape work together to form a bubble of life. Now you guys are going to be in four groups okay. There will be group A, B, C and D. Since you all are twenty, each group would contain five students. You are free to choose whomever you wat to be in your group (everyone stands up, in order to meet their group mate while Destiny sat on her chair without moving an inch)

Stephanie
(She and Ogechi walks up to Destiny)Hi Destiny, hi princess

Princess
Hi my loves(she wears a cute smile)

Destiny
Hi (looks at the other girl beside Stephanie)

Ogechi
Hi, my name's Ogechi. So would you like to be in our group?

Destiny
Okay

Princess
Remaining Darien. Where's that guy?(looks around for him)

Darien
(Closes Princess' eye with his hand from behind)

Princess
Can you remove your stinky hand out of my face?

Darien
(Removes his hand) aww, you knew it was me love (Ogechi and Stephanie laughs while Princess scoffs)

Miss Charlotte
It seems everyone has chosen their teammates, so I'll be calling the team captain. Audrey, you and your team are group A; you are the captain. Daniel, you and your team are team B, you are the captain. Stephanie, you and your team are team C; you are the captain. Albert, you and your team are team D; you are the leader. (The bell rings) okay, since the bell has gone, that will be all for now (she packed her books, heading to the staff room)

Darien
So I'm grouped with girls, again. I wish my guys were science students (he sighs)

Princess
Please you can change and be an art student

Darien
This is just you telling me to stay and not to go

Princess
You wish

Stephanie
Can you guys stop your love fight, you are giving Destiny a bad impression of yourselves (Princess gives Stephanie a death glares while Stephanie just laughs)

Ogechi
Don't mind them Destiny, they are just flirting with each other in a weird way(Princess felt like killing her friends) I meant to say unique way

Princess
Can you guys stop? And you Darien, leave me be. I'm not your love, go look for her where you left her

Darien
Calm down baby. Are u still jealous concerning what you saw, we weren't doing anything I promise

Stephanie
What she saw? (Stares at Princess) so we are keeping secrets now?

Princess
I'll tell you guys later(turns to Darien) I'm not jealous okay, I'm not your gf and I never was so why should I be jealous? Besides, I know what I saw(gets up to start leaving the class room)

Darien
My love, I'm sorry okay. It will never happen again. It's just that she was tempting me(Princess turns to look at him in disgust and scoffs)

Ogechi
What did you do moron? (Punches his right arm)

Darien
Nothing (Ogechi shakes her head in disappointment)

Stephanie
Let's go take our books, we are having physics class and we are already late. We'll deal with this fool later. Destiny, let's go (the girls leaves the class leaving Darien behind)
