Episode 2: The A New Teacher in Class
I turned my head in disbelief.
"Wait, does he teach literature too?"
"Yeah," Camille nodded.
"Hope you enjoyed the class. See you next time," said the mysterious Mr. Gonzalez as he gathered his books.
"Bye, Mr. Gonzalez," the class chorused, with the girls giggling.
He glanced briefly in my direction before walking out.
My eyes followed him until he disappeared.
After two more classes, the bell rang for lunch.
Camille and I headed to the cafeteria.
We ordered the usual: burgers and fries, and sat at our usual spot.
"Did you change your phone case?" Camille asked, taking my phone.
"Oh my God! Is this the new iPhone 13 Pro Max?" Camille's voice rose, catching everyone's attention.
Before I knew it, we were surrounded by students.
"Is this for real?"
"I'm so jealous!"
"She always gets the latest gadgets!"
I smiled and continued eating, loving the attention. But then, I heard a voice that grated on me.
"What's the big deal about getting the new iPhone? I already have one," said Angel, the person I couldn’t stand.
Angel and her crew emerged from the crowd, showing off her phone like she always did. Students murmured, and my fists clenched.
She always had to steal the spotlight.
"Someone check that phone.

We need to make sure it’s not fake," I said, standing up.
Angel smirked. "Surprised?"
"Not really," I replied, "just making sure. No one in your family can afford this, or maybe… you worked overtime during the holidays."
Laughter erupted from the crowd as Angel tried to keep her cool.
"It doesn't matter how I got it," she said, glaring at me.
"Oh, it does matter. To me and everyone else," I said, walking away toward the washroom.
As I strode through the silent hallway, I accidentally bumped into someone.
"Watch where you’re going," I started, but paused when I realized it was a teacher. I rolled my eyes, ready to walk off, but someone grabbed my arm.
It was him—Mr. Gonzalez.
"You should apologize and help with the books that fell," he said firmly.
I pulled my arm away. "Who are you to tell me what to do? Mind your own business."
"Rich kids… always rude and senseless," he muttered.
"What did you say?" I snapped.
"You heard me."
"Don’t talk to me like that again," I yelled.
"Do you know who you’re talking to?" he scoffed.
"Yeah, my father’s employee," I shot back.
"You're so arrogant," he said, shaking his head.
"Deal with it," I retorted, walking away.
His words lingered, stinging more than I expected.
Was I really that bad? Was I disappointing my father?
I found Camille and shared what happened.
"Don’t let his words get to you," she said softly.
"I won't," I nodded, though deep down, his words had hit home.

The day dragged on, and finally, it was time to leave.
"I’m out of here," I told Camille.
"Wait, what about our tradition? McDonald's after the first day back?"
"Oh, right! Let’s go," I said, trying to lift my mood.
We grabbed snacks at McDonald's, but I wasn’t in the mood.
I dropped Camille off, still not knowing where she actually lived.
She never told me.
When I got home, Dad was at the dining table.
"How was school today?" he asked.
"Nice," I replied, heading upstairs.
"I heard what happened this morning," he said, making me stop.
"Of course you did," I sighed.
"You shouldn’t have been so harsh on that teacher. She was new."
"Seriously? After what she did?"
"I’m just saying you could’ve given her a second chance," Dad said gently.
"Dad, I had a rough day. Can we not do this right now?" I replied, heading to my room.
