Taks testing

Today was one of thos days, one of thos days were everything seems to go good.

I woke up 5 minutes before my alarm went off and that never happens. I just laid there watching time tick slowly by. In and out of the shower by 7:40 and was walking through the hallways of Marcus high by 8:15

The day before, was as normal as normal days get for me. We were told to go to the room that we were assigned to by last name. I was in room B213, upstairs by the computer lab. I walked there first just so i knew where it was, than went looking for someone, anyone i knew. I wasn't very successful. I did get a few hugs from people i kinda sorta knew, but that was it.
Inside B213 i found my name on a desk sat there and waited for it to begin. It was crazy, strict as hell. There was to be no talking, eating, drink, sleeping or putting your head down, no bathroom breaks unless you had a pass and teacher escort, and one i found out on my own, no making any types of sounds with your mouth.
I was in that classroom from 8:45 too 12:30.
Sitting there working on that English Reading packet was quite easy, although i was one of the last people to finish it. You just had to read 2 passages and answer questions about the stories.
During the first 30 minutes of the test, i started light whistling under my breath. After the teacher tried to find out who it was by spinning around, she finally said "who ever that is, stop. If i find out who it is they will get a zero."
I stopped.
This one guy coughed right before i coughed, so i coughed again. We coughed back and forth seven or eight times. The teacher looked at me with hatred.


Once i finished taking the test we sat in silence for what seemed hours.
The best time i had in during the taks test was when i got to go to the bathroom.
when everyone was finished we were aloud to talk and move around.
I met everyone that was around me. This one girl got really angry at me.
"O my god, your a seventeen year old freshman and your acting like that?! grow up..'
"Now thats one thing i never want to do!" I said with a smile
with a very sour face she says "I feel sorry for you..."
And i said very loudly with a big smile "Nope! i feel sorry for YOU!" turned around and started talking to someone else.
It was nice meeting new people again. people who had no choice but to stay in one place, until a set time.

So after the TAKS, i was suppose to go back to 2ed period. I didn't get that memo.
It was past 12, and thats when the bell rings. But since it was TAKS day, so no bells. No one was in the outdoor ed hallway. So i ran back to second period algebra, i ended up late. The teacher didn't care, i was only there long enough for her to give everyone home work.

So i walked back to outdoor ed.
We headed straight outside to walk to sonic! only the people who have finished taking there hunter ed test and passing.
It was about a five minute walk down the street.
I learned how much meat a class of 20 can eat. It was kind of disgusting..
While i was sitting there talking with everyone else. A construction truck pulls up to order. Then i hear someone calling my name!
It turns out that one of my brothers friends was there for happy hour. I was there telling him about my school life.
I get back to the other people, and everyone was like "whos that?! how do you know soo many people?"
"aren't you like extremely poplar with everyone?"
"not really, i dont remember names very well."
"But someone said that a bunch of girls have asked you out already"
"Who told you this?"
"I heard some girls talking about you, why aren't you dating anyone?"
A few heads turn
"Well, if they were cute, i would have gone out with them. I'm not just looking for someone to suck face with."
"O, that makes sense"
Some how we started talking about first impressions.
Me: "So, what was your first impression of me?"
Gunner: "Well, dont be mad, but at first everyone thought you were gay.."
Me: "But why? Why would you jump to that conclusion?"
Gunner: "you were just so... Out there.. different"
Everyone agreed. but they said that once they got to know me more, they knew i wasn't. It worried me to think that maybe everyone i meet has that thought. Just because i am who i am. "out there".

Forth period only lasted an hour because of the TAKS. All we did was watch Dirty Jobs. It was fun, I sat there talking to Karli the whole time. Bell rang and i was off.
