"The Little Trip" Chapter 2

Think about the most regular class that you can. It may be one of the classes in the rom-com movies. What does the class look like? Does it have the nerd or the athletic boy who never pays attention? Or, if you thought about the movies, did it have a perfect shaped boy and girl who are going to be the main characters?

When we mark people (I will talk about that expression) with their only one feature, do we really treat them fairly? Does anybody deserve that?...

“You will be reading Great Expectations over the weekend. Make your own groups out of four students and prepare a presentation about the first five chapters. You can meet with your friends over the weekend or have a Zoom meeting. It is up to you.” the teacher left the class with these words. The class groaned a little but they knew nothing was going to change even if they said something.

After a few lousy moments (students were making their groups), a clumsy girl who happens to be the teacher's niece stood up and shouted: “Hey you! The Potterhead boy over there! Yes you Mr...ummm, Weasley?” The red- headed boy was surprised because nobody ever likened him to a Weasley. She approached the boy and said without shouting: “Nobody wants to include me in their group so would you like to be in my group? I know you’re not in a group so..” “Alright. And firstly, do you speak the first word that comes to your mind without thinking?” “Yes actually, I do.” “I don’t like to think of all the words that I will be saying literally two seconds later.”

The break was about to be over so they sped up their conversation.

“But we need to have two more students. What about Scott? Do you think he will have the privilege to join our group?” The red-headed boy chuckled. Before the clumsy girl answered him, they realized one thing. They didn’t know each other’s names.

“I’m Malia.” said the clumsy girl.

“And I’m Stiles.” said the red-haired boy. Chapter 2 or Part 2

“Alright, fine. But I don’t want to go to the bustling library. People are seriously doing everything except studying. And, my sister will be in our group, too. Lydia, come over there! I found ourselves a group!” shouted Scott to his sister, Lydia. “I’m just glad we finally found our group.” whispered Malia to Stiles.

“First off, it’s not cool to talk behind our backs Malia! And second of all, look at the group! The teacher's niece, Mr.Weasley, Mr.Never Talks, and me! Are you really happy that you finally found your group? Is this the group you’ve always wanted?” said Lydia angrily. She was clenching her teeth. It was obvious that she was having a problem with controlling her anger but they couldn’t guess the times she would explode.

“You can go find yourself a group without losers Lydia but I’m staying here!” replied Malia. Stiles and Scott realized that that tension was raining up so they decided to cool things down a little bit.

“Well, I’ve lost my book. Do you guys have the Great Expectations book?” said Stiles. Surprisingly, none of them had the book because they had ditched the class when the books were given. After a while, Scott spoke: “Guys, I have an idea where to find the book. How about breaking into the library, Strand?”
