The New Classmate VIP

While Ms.Patterson was quiet and thinking everyone in the class was talking about the fight. A girl in class checked to see if Lu was finally back since he missed the second day. She saw that he had injuries on his face and started talking to her friend. That's weird Lu wasn't here yesterday and came back with injuries. Her friend turned around to look at Lu and said, "oh yeah, that's weird what do you think happened?

Everyone had different conversations at the time but they were all about the same thing. So when someone next to them heard what they said about Lu they looked at him and then started talking to their group and said, hey Lu's back and with injuries on his face. That group didn't know what happened in the fight some minutes ago or who was in it since they got there late but only heard that there was a fight, they assumed that Lu was the one in the fight. Rumors started going in class because someone in front of them heard a part of the conversation. They had only heard "Lu was in a fight." Since she was shocked by what she heard she instantly muted everyone else's conversations she was too excited and started gossiping to her group about it. She didn't hear the rest of what the boy behind her said. He had said, "Lu was in a fight, I mean how else can you explain his injuries."

Since they only heard Lu was in a fight that's what they all believed since they all turned back to look at him and saw his injured face. Everyone changed the subject from the recent fight to the rumor of Lu that wasn't even true. People had so many questions some of them were: Why wasn't Lu here for the second day of school? Why did he come back with injuries in his face?  Did he get a call home from Ms.Patterson and got hit by his parents as a punishment? Or did he get in a fight? And some people would answer with:  Some people playfully said, "he probably got into a fight and obviously lost, who knows what type of trouble he gets into and what he does in his free time." And others said, "or he probably got a good beating from his parents for disrupting the class by entering late the first day of school."When Ms.Patterson heard that Lu probably got injuries on his face due to her phone call home, her mood instantly brightened but started her lesson right away because she was being cautious just in case Principal Jan passed by and heard it.

She was scared since he is nice and caring towards Lu. She didn't even want to think about what he would do to her this time if he was to hear that. He would most likely fire her. She was still holding a grudge towards Lu. She had never felt that embarrassed as she did that day. She was in the middle of teaching when suddenly there was a light knock on the door she went to the door and when she opened it she was stunned. She stayed there for a few seconds looking at the person on the other side. Everyone in the class was confused. They were all curious and were trying to see who was on the other side. They could only hear whispers but they couldn't understand what was being said on the other side.

President Jan entered the room there was someone with him, it was Hayden. Before anyone had any time to think Jan started speaking and said, "from now on he is going to be your classmate." Everyone's eyes widened. The girl's hearts started to race fast and so loud that you can almost hear it. Some of them were drooling and others almost passed out. Even Ms.Patterson seemed to be pleased and excited about the idea of having him in her class. All she can think about was that now she can brag to other teachers since they even fight over him. After the announcement, Jan left the room Ms.Patterson quickly welcomed him and told him to pick a seat.

Everyone knew what she meant. She was telling him that if he wanted any specific seat he can take it, it wouldn't matter if that seat was already taken, as long as he wanted it and asked for it he can have it. She was treating him as if he was a high known celebrity. In her eyes, he was a VIP. Hayden looked around the class looking for a seat. The girls were all excited and even left out a squeak. They were hoping they would be one of the lucky ones to sit next to him. He looked at the back left corner of the class pointed and said, "that one."
