High school
Sep. 10th, 2008 12:40 pm Salome's school is pretty much like every other school in the country, it has classes, groups of kids that hang out together, lunch and various school functions that everyone goes to in order to fit in. The name of the game is blending in when it comes to high school. Something she's learned the hard way and is never easy for her, because if she isn't getting in trouble, she's standing out because someone thinks they can inspire something inside her. Must be the eyes.
By week two all the teachers know her name, except for the biology teacher who can not, for the life of him say it correctly. She's tried over, and over, Sa-low-may. It doesn't stick, so finally, friday afternoon she tells him: "Just call me Sal." Which seems to work for anyone who talks to her, or asks her a question. Truth be told it's odd for anyone to call her by her first name anyway. Life is tedious, homework dull, she falls asleep in math class pretending to focus on a problem. It's not that math class is dull it's just that there doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day, and who needs math anyway?
