“I can’t believe they’re forcing this on us. This was not the plan.”
“Definitely not the plan. Definitely hate it.”
Nadiya and I stood still and squinted up at the freshly christened
Huntersville High building. The nervous pit that had been growing in my
stomach since the announcement last week that Hirono High was being
combined with our rival, Davies High, was expanding by the second. The
district had been too cheap to spring for new signage before the school year
started and instead opted to hang a vinyl banner in front of what used to be
Davies to welcome everyone. Guess the school board wasn’t joking when it
said it was strapped for cash.
“We’re going to get so many complaints.” Nadiya stamped her foot,
and I would’ve laughed, but this was serious. I’d already heard from no less
than half of Hirono’s junior class about how much it sucked to have to
change schools. If given the choice, some of my classmates would probably
rather have gone to class with the toxic mold at Hirono than show up here.
Worse, I kind of agreed with them. But I was junior class president, the
bridge between the administration and the student body, so it wasn’t like I
could put Yeah, it blows in an email and send it off.
Instead, I had to be diplomatic, and so far, it wasn’t going great.
“This was supposed to be our year,” said Nadiya, Hirono’s junior class
vice president, then started listing off all the supposed-to-happens on her
fingers, her electric-blue manicure flashing in the sunlight: “Planning
homecoming, student-store policy revisions, updating the dress code…”
Nadiya’s general energy was always around a sass level seven, but when
she was mad, it could crank up to ten. If someone didn’t calm her down
soon, she’d be in the school board president’s office threatening to tie
herself to the old building until they revised their verdict. “We were going
to make all the important decisions that we’d write about on our college
applications. Instead, we’ll be dealing with this.”
“I’m sure we can still do some of that.” I tried to sound enthusiastic as
the buzz in the parking lot picked up around us. Nadiya and I had arrived
early to greet our classmates and try to win over a few of the Davies
students to our voting bloc just in case new elections were held for our
combined school.
Instead, we wound up with a front row seat to everyone pointing out
that the former Davies Kraken was still proudly outside of the school while
the Hirono Mustang was in a junk heap next to our now sealed off old
building.
“Hi, Meg,” a fellow junior on the debate team called to me from the
back of the parking lot.
“Happy first day!” I waved back, mentally cataloging that she and her
boyfriend hadn’t arrived together, which may mean that the rumors of their
breakup were true. I’d avoid mentioning him to her until I was sure.
Wouldn’t want to alienate anyone on the first day.
“Satan’s favorite Barbie at three o’clock,” Nadiya mumbled out of the
side of her mouth.
