Bonjour (Chapter Thirteen)

Chapter 13 Frozen Still

My heart was pounding. He finally blinked I was relieved. “SEVENTH GRADE ELA!” “yes,” i said in a small voice. “No way, so you are the one in my class, you are the only fifth grader in our whole school to be in such a high class.” I was in his class? I was the highest in the whole school I had never been informed of this and worse of all I thought the only reason that they put me on floor P was because I wasn’t qualified to go on such a high level. I felt like I was also about to freeze and I was a little embarrassed but I really didn’t want to talk about it so I changed the subject. “Who’s classes are you in?” I asked. He didn’t really care of the change of subject i had made and he turned back to what he was preparing and I kept preparing my food as well. We just talked about class and how we had almost all of our classes together, I was actually having fun since Peter, Aundrea, and I were discussing how we learned to cook and our stories. We were just chopping and cooking some small snacks and once we finished I was 100% sure everyone was going to love the food and snacks that we made. Everyone was there and there were quite a few of people I didn’t know and I was excited to meet them, everyone was just sitting by the TV most on the carpet  just relaxing and talking. Then I saw someone, they weren’t from my school, but i knew them.

Bonjour (Chapter Twelve)

Chapter 12 Elevated

“Really?” I said finally. “Yeah they say that some of the other people will be chosen to be on level Q in two months, it’s going to be completely random. I really hope I’m chosen.” “Is that why all the floors are so crowded?” “Yes, partly there are also more people than last year.” I didn’t know if I should tell him that I was new to the school after all since all the grades are pretty much mixed up I know that some of the grades share students and classes depending on how smart you are and what level you are at. I was right on my the determined grade level well a little above, my ELA was two grade levels above I was in 7th grade ELA and 6th grade Math. I didn't want to seem like I was bragging but I kind of did want to, I mean you don’t usually meet a fifth grader that is in sixth and seventh grade classes and of course I wanted to point that out to everyone. I also wanted to keep to myself at the same time. I don’t know what I felt at that moment, it was as if I had just become shy and not wanted to talk. I wanted to just hide in a corner of the room and not come out as if i had a fear of socializing. But I finally responded, “Me too, I really do want to get into a higher class.” He looked at me with confusion in his eyes. The floor Q is like a special program that only people that are in 7th grade classes could take I don’t think you could actually reach that hight above your grade level, I mean Math and ELA are the only subjects you can get above grade level.” I was so surprised when he said that so it wasn’t that I wasn’t smart enough to go to a higher science and social studies class but you couldn’t do that!? “Well I have 7th grade ELA, so maybe I could get chosen.” His eyes looked like they were going to pop out of his skull I couldn’t tell if he was going to pass out or just turn into ice. 

Bonjour (Chapter Eleven)

Chapter 11 New People 

He quickly washed his hand and put his sleeves up and started chopping bananas in pieces. Slowly got closer to me I don’t think he thought I knew. I pretended to just be focused on the apples and then his shoulder touched mine. I looked in his direction and he asked me if he had heard the conversation between Lidia and her mother. “Why do you want to know?” “Well I’m just making conversation,” I looked him straight in the eye with my ‘Really Now’ look and said “If you want to make conversation why don’t you ask my name or introduce yourself,” I stop mid sentence and put down the knife. “ you should be paying more attention to what you are doing than what other people are doin, Okay.” He looked at me with a shameful look in his eyes. “My name is Shinelle, what’s yours?” He looked up slowly “My name is Peter, and I’m sorry about that,” I started chopping the apples again and said “It’s okay just think before you act,” maybe I overreacted but i was aggravated so I responded, “I might have overreacted a little bit.” “What grade are you in,” I asked. “Sixth what about you” “Fifth at Zetiva School it goes from pre-k to eighth.” I said. “I know I go there too but on floor G.” I was so surprised I would think that he would go to a different school a better school, every floor or story represented a different acceleration group the highest was group was Q or so I thought I wasn’t 100% sure. I was on P about to be on Q but then I messed up last year since it was a different grading system any little mistake could make you go lower. I didn’t want to tell him I was higher than him it would probably embarrass him, but what should I tell him oh I’m new so I have no idea what floor I’m on? Actually I could have but I didn’t “Thats cool I’m on floor P,” I said. His eyes had seemed like they EXPLODED. “FLOOR P!, isn’t that like the highest floor since floor Q is closed right now?” “Um,” “No way you are in the most accelerated group in the whole school, that is so cool you need to teach me your ways.” I was surprised myself i didn’t know floor Q was closed i though I didn’t make it because I didn’t have grades good enough for floor Q. I now know why floor P was so over crowded there must have been some students that are supposed to be on floor Q but it isn’t open yet. Was I supposed to be there??

Bonjour (Chapter Ten)

Chapter Ten Encounters

What happened at the hangout was something that was really unexpected I was sure it was going to be casual and as it was starting it seemed alright but once everything was set up everyone else came. Shannon, Linda and I were helping Linda’s mom Aundrea to set everything up and  I had really tried to be the best impression I could and she was very kind and very interesting it was fun talking to her and I was glad that she was enjoying my company I helped out a lot with the decorating, cleaning and food/cooking. I was happy to help as always while we were setting up she was telling me stories and jokes and i was enjoying myself a lot more than what I expected. Not much later people finally started arriving some of them had already gone to food restaurants to get some food and it was nice because some of them actually brought snacks for the rest of us and I was really happy I knew most of the people arriving except for a couple of people but then a group of boys came in and I was not what I expected i thought it would just be us girls like a small slumber party. I thing Lidia’s mom was just as surprised as me, she asked to introduce them to her and then she Lidia aside to talk and I think that Lidia thought.  Nobody could hear her and that was almost true except for the fact that I could. I COULD HER HER AND HER MOTHER PERFECTLY! I just continues chopping up apples as if I wasn't Listening but I was. Lidia's mom was asking Lidia why she didn’t tell her that there was going to be boys, she answered by sayin she didn't thing it was that important and that she was going to be fine with it. Audrey was surprisingly calm and just said next time she should make a list of the people  she had invited over not just make them come. Lidia let out a big sigh and said she would share a doc with her telling her who was coming. At that exact moment a guy came up to me and just stood there asking it I needed help, “Not really I mean you could help if you want but just wash your hands first,” I responded. 

Bonjour (Chapter Nine)

Chapter Nine A Strange Meeting

It was the hangout I was pretty excited and I knew there would probably be people that I didn’t know but I was determined to at least make a good impression on Lidia parents and that way I would be able to go over more often. Hours hav passed and I am on my my way to Lidia’s house it’s a warm but windy day, I am excited I will probably return to continue after the hangout... So after that whole mess, The day is finally over.

Bonjour (Chapter Eight)

Chapter Eight Hang Out

I am so happy right now Lidia said that we are going to have a hangout next week and nI cant wait I know that a lot of people are going but hey i can make new friends we all know others from other schools and I thought it would be nice to go and meet som of their friends they said I can invite anyone else if I wanted but I just want to go by myself I don’t want anyone to tag along and not like my friends and be stuck in an uncomfortable position. So I await the day we all meet so far there is some drama at school turns out that there are too many people host want to be our friend and they cant be so now there are two groups and its all a competition between everyone butt other than that everything’s great my group of friends is winning so far and i hope it stays that way the other girls are just trying to be better but they are just making themselves seem like bad people so hopefully they stop and realize that they are the ones making the real problem.

Bonjour (Chapter Seven)

Chapter Seven New

Everyone seemed to enjoy my company now everyone just seems to know who i am and who are my friends there are only two fifth grade classes in this school but all of the fourth and fifth graders seem to know me and all my friends. I have been enjoying most of my time at this new school the work is really easy and we don’t have to do overly complicated reading works like at my last school. At my last school they didn’t teach us anything they just expected us to know everything but they gave us really hard work. In this school everything is well explained and the work is explainable. I remember that if you wanted to hang out with friends after school you either had to choose homework or friends so i really didn’t have friends because I focused on my studies and keeping up a good record and good grades. I was and still am one of the highest in the class and now even when I want to hang out with friend I can do that because I have enough time after school to hang out and do my homework.
