After hurrying to 1st period Biology ll which I found a chair in the back next to a tall Jock type who frowned in displeasure but didn't say anything where I could blend in enough to take occasional naps, while I wasn't a complete slacker It never felt like I was going to use any of the information so why bother I just wanted to leave this small town and explore the bigger world my parents had never left this town and had married young living here for their whole lives while I didn't know exactly what I wanted I know that wasn't it.
Right before the bell rang Olivia walked in followed by Bo who was carrying her books, I don't know what she saw in him they had started dating the end of last year and I was of course furious that he touched my future wife hence why i slipped laxative into his drink when he wasn't looking and may or may not have put super glue on his chair once. Mrs. Whitley was a slim brown skinned motherly figure who was honestly beautiful in a nerdy motherly way she wore bifocals and a yellow sundress with her hair in a bun i had her last year as well and she had actually one of my favorite teachers when i bothered to pay attention in class
"Good morning class I hope you all enjoyed your summer breaks I would like to start by having each of you stand tell us your name, where you are from, and one unique thing about you" she said smiling at us with a motherly expression
when it was my turn I stood "My name is Jake Dentin, I'm from Pasadena, TX and I like to do photography" Mrs. Whitley smiled and asked me to take my seat
"Loser" Bo muttered smirking in my direction
Mrs. Whitley frowned "Mr. Brackman that type of behavior will not be tolerated in this class"
"Now class today will be a very special class i thought with it being our 1st day back it would be fun to do a practical lesson today now if everyone will put on gloves, safety goggles, and one of the Lab coats hanging in the back. Mr. Dentin would you mind placing a frog on each table?"

she pointed at a cooler and after putting on my gloves and lab coat I grabbed it pulling out the frogs and placing them on the tables now for this assignment we can pick who your lab partner will be I didn't really know anyone in the class but it seemed like some people did know each other and paired up fairly quickly leaving a few Awkard students one redhead girl in particular stood biting her lip as if afraid to ask anyone so I walked over and asked her
"hey my name is Jake, want to be lab partners?" she peered at me shyly and said "hi my name is Susan, sure" we headed to a station putting on our safety goggles
"Ok class please remove the frog from its packaging and place it on its back, belly-up in the tray. Some frogs will be slightly stiff from the preservative solution, meaning that you may need to massage them out slightly, bending the legs and softening the joints until the frog sits comfortably on its back." said Ms. Whitely
"the first step is to identify the sex of the frog. The easiest way to quickly tell the difference between male and female frogs isn't to look between the legs, but to look at the feet. The front feet of male frogs should have a fatter thumb pad, and the thumb should look bulbous and fatter than the thin fingers of the female frog"
blah blah blah I zoned out and focused on Olivia who of course was partnered with Bojangles who by the way looks like he has been stuffing himself silly and is probably borderline obese the insults the bullying i can take but him stealing my girl just makes my blood boil I wish the frog would hop down his ugly throat and he choked on it the image actually was starting to cheer me up just then as Bo was going to start dissecting the frog it turned off of its back and leaped at his face causing him to drop his scapel and shout in surprise
" help get it off me it possessed aaah!" he ran in circles trying to pry it off finally with the help of Olivia they managed to get if off much to my utter amusement I could barely disguise my chuckles crying tears of joy I Wait how did that just happen did I do that I was literally just imagining something like that in my head i thought all of the frogs were long dead there is no way that was because of me they must have made some kind of mistake and left one alive by accident. I couldn't shake the feeling that it wasn't a coincidence I couldn't wait to tell Mason.
