The bell rings. I stand up and pretend to adjust my pants, but in reality I'm fixing my thong.
My sister stops running and comes up to me. Her friend is standing behind her. I catch her checking me out.
"Hey, I forgot to tell mom that I have practice tonight," she says.
"Well, mom and dad aren't home tonight. They have that retirement party to go to."
"Ok then...well I might just stay at Kelly's tonight then," my sister says. I nod my head.
"Alright. But make sure you're back in the morning, mom and dad will be pissed if they know I let you stay out," I warn. My sister smiles at me somewhat sarcastically. I roll my eyes and head to my locker.
In class, my mind wanders from Biology to more perverted things. I think about what I'm going to do when I get home. I decide which of my sister's outfits I'm going to try on first.
"Alex!" my teacher-Mr. Hughes-says. I look up and realize that he's calling on me to answer a question. "What happens during cellular replication?" he asks. I open my mouth to say something, but realize that I have no idea what the answer is.
I stutter for a moment, managing to say "I don't know." My teacher shakes his head.
"See me after class," he says. A few snickers echo throughout the classroom.
When the bell rings, I hope that Mr. Hughes forgot that he had asked to see me, and I try to sneak past him.
"Alex," he says. He motions for me with his finger. I approach his desk.
"What's up?" I ask. Mr. Hughes sits down, sighing. He opens a desk drawer and flips through a row of files, finally pulling out a test with my name on it. Next to it is a huge "E," written in bright red ink. I stare at the test blankly.
"This E just lowered your grade to failing," Mr. Hughes says. "And you're constantly late for class." I say nothing. He looks up at me and raises his eyebrows.
"I know. I just get distracted easily," I stammer.
