FOEVER TOGETHER- Chapter one


“Hi Syaoran!” Sakura and Madison sa together.

“Hi Sakura, hi Madison.”

“I really don’t want to go to math class. 6th grade math is hard!” complained Sakura.

“I think that math is ok,” answered Madison.

“Come on, you guys. It's time to go in.” After Syaoran had said that, a sudden ring had sounded as if on cue.

“Good morning everyone. We have a new student today. Her name is Annie. Can someone volunteer to show her the ropes?” asked Ms. Ruche.

“I will!” yelled Sakura.

“Thank you. Annie, this is Sakura.”

“………” Annie stared quietly.

“Nice to meet you, Annie,” said Sakura.

“H-h-hi.” Annie is a Chinese girl who has dark brown hair, slim body, and is 5’3”.

“Annie, why don’t you take that seat next to Syaoran?” Ms. Ruche said as Annie had taken a seat next to Syaoran. “Okay, class. Today, we will be learning how to do ‘PEMDAS’. Can anyone tell me what 3 + 2 * 5 equals?” after Ms. Ruche asked. Annie’s hand rose up. “Yes, Annie?”

“The answer is 13.”

“You MUST be wrong! It’s clearly 25!” someone had yelled.

“Actually, Annie’s right. The answer IS 13.” Ms. Ruche said “You see, Annie knows something called ‘PEMDAS’ care to explain it, Annie?” Annie shook her head. “Well, ‘PEMDAS’ tells you which part of the problem you do first. Its is like this: The P stands for prentices ( ). E stands for exponents 24. M stands for multiplication 2 * 2…….” As Ms. Ruche continued, Sakura was busy taking notes.

“How come math has to be sooooo hard?”

“Ok now, I will pass out some worksheets. You can work with others and I expect you to be finished by the end of class.”

‘Oh no! A whole sheet that we have to do?’ Sakura thought. ‘Hey! Maybe that new girl Annie could help me. She seems good at this.’ Ms. Roche had just passed out all the worksheets and Sakura started to walk towards Annie.

“Hi Annie,” Sakura greeted.

“Hello.”

“Can you help me on this? I can't seem to get it.”

“………”

“Please?”

“Maybe I can help you a little. I want to finish this FAST.”

“Ok, about this problem, which part do I do first? 3 + 4 * 2 / 8 = ”

“First, you do 4 times 2. Then, you divide it by 8. After that, you add the 3. So answer is?”

“4 time 2 is 8, divided by 8 is 1, 1 is 3 is 4. The answer is 4… right?”

“Yes. You are correct.” After an hour, it was time to go.

"Hey, thanks again, Annie.”

“Your welcome.”

“You know, you should try talking to others more often. You are really good at this! Even I understand a little bit now. Our science teacher is Mr. Rubin! He’s really cool! Well, I’ll see you there!”

Annie left the room after everyone else was gone. ‘I guess this is how loners feel. Oh well.’ Annie thought as she went to science class.

“Hello everyone, I am guessing everyone has met our new student, Annie. Hello Annie, my name is Mr. Rubin. Today we will be experimenting with powders. Get each of the 7 powders and do some experimenting with them to find out, which ones are, what. I suggest that everyone works with a partner. You may begin.”

“Hey, Sakura wanna work together?” Madison asked.

“Sure.” ‘Poor Annie. It must be hard. Being new and all.’
After a long hour…

“Wow! Powder ‘a’ salty!” Sakura had found out.

“How did you know about all the powders, Annie?” asked Mr. Rubin.

“I did this sort of thing at my old school so I guess it's because I have experience,” Annie answered.

‘Boy, that girl seems REALLY smart! I wonder which school she went to,’ Sakura thought.

“Come on, it's time to go to social studies!” Madison said.

“Oh, sorry, I must of dosed of again.”

Once again, Annie had waited till everyone had left to room to leave.

“Hello everyone. Today a new girl will be joining us. As you all know, her name is Annie. Hello Annie, my name is Ms. Eng. We will play a game today. But first, I must separate you into 2 groups.”

After seperating the class she said, “Okay, now. Each one of you will have to draw a picture. A picture of anyone, do your best work. You have 5 minutes.”

After five minutes she interruped, “Ok, now as a group, choose whichever one you like best.”

Everyone has put their picture on a table except for Annie. Sakura notices that Annie hadn’t put her picture on the table. “Can I see?” Sakura asked politely.

“………………”

“Please?”

“Fine,” Annie showed her picture to Sakura.

“Wow! This is really good! Why won't you show it to other people?”

“I don’t know.”

“Well, I will. Is that ok with you?” Annie nodded.

“Hey! Everyone! Look at this picture!” after everyone had seen the picture, everyone was oh-ing and ah-ing.

“Let's use that one!” everyone screamed.

“See? That wasn’t THAT bad.”

“………”

“Ok, did everyone agree on a picture yet?” Ms. Eng asked. Everyone had said yes. “Now I will give you a number and with that number, look at the board and see which part of the picture you’ll be drawing! Get in order from 1-12” Annie had gotten 3, the mouth. Sakura had gotten 4, the neck. Madison had gotten 5, the arms. And Syaoran had gotten 6, the body.

After 10 minutes, almost everyone was moaning. “Arg! I can’t do this! Its tooo hard!”

“Ok, you may stop now.” Ms. Eng had said.

“Why did we have to do that?” someone had asked.

“What you did was a stimulation of how people work in sweatshops.”

“That felt like 10 hours instead of 10 minutes,” Sakura said.

“And that was only 10 minutes think about the people that have to work like this all day,” Ms. Eng said.

“I don’t even want to know!” someone screamed.

“Also, they are being paid the lowest amount ever.”

“How much?” someone asked.

“Less than 1 dollar an hour,” answered Ms. Eng.

“Whoa,” everyone said.

“Ok, enough questions. We will use the rest of the time in class to write in our notebooks. All the questions or comments that you have, write them in your notebooks!”

“Wow! That looooong silence was irritating!” said Sakura. “Oh well. It's time for lunch anyways.” And once again, Annie waits until everyone had left the room.

“Hey, Sakura! Lets go eat lunch!” Madison said.

“Alri…” She glanced over at Annie. “I’ll catch you later, Madison! I need to do something first,” Sakura said.

“Um… ok…” Madison said as Sakura walks over to Annie.

“Hi Annie, ready for that tour of ours?”

“Um… it’s really ok. I can find out the rooms by myself. Thanks though.”

“Do you want me to keep you company?”

“No, it’s ok. You don’t have to force yourself to talk to me.”

“Huh? Oh, no! I’m not forcing myself. I WANT to talk to you.”

“It’s ok. I’m used to be alone.”

“Are you sure? Sometimes, it's really lonely and boring.”

“Yea… You don’t want your friends waiting, do you?”

“Ok then…” after that, Sakura left.

“I KNOW you’re still here! I can sense you! Go away! Why are you picking on me?”
