"NO! You are doing it wrong! All of you are off beat and are going way too fast! STAY ON THE TEMPO!''

I noticed that everybody winced at the sound of Mr. Venus screaming. Mr. Venus is a very strict teacher that wants everyone to play perfect. That is the way I learn best. Our first concert is just 2 weeks away and Mr. Venus wants to make sure that we play everything correctly.

I have heard from orchestra members that are in Symphony or in Chamber that if you didn't play the piece correctly then Mr. Venus would stop the whole concert. He then would be showing everyone how to do it correctly. The worst part about it is that he does it in front of the whole audience.

I was thankful when the bell rang 5 minutes later. To most students, their favorite subject isn't really a subject. I am talking about Lunch.

Zoey brings her own lunch, so I'm on my own during the lunch line. Once I got my food (20 minutes after lunch started), I sat down beside Zoey in our class table. I can already hear the boys in the other table.

''Hey guys,'' Lizbeth said. '' So, a lot of people had been breaking the rules about sitting in your respective table so I invited Addison over.''

Addison Guzman was a girl in my first period that like people to call her Potato. She and I became good friends.

''Hi,'' Addison said. She gave a tiny wave and I waved back. Zoey greeted her back.

We talked about a lot of things during lunch. During one of our conversations Lindy joined us saying that she overheard a conversation between Diego and Austin. Apparently, Diego was planning on getting his revenge on Zoey anytime now.
A couple of minutes before lunch ended A bag of snacks hit Zoey on the face. It was funny for a moment, but then I remembered that someone threw it at her. Behind me I heard yelling and laughing. The boys.

I turned my head around and narrowed my eyes. There are only two boys who would do that. Austin and Diego.

''Which one of you two did it?!'' I demanded and asked while pointing towards Diego and Austin. Now something about me that people should know is that even though I am nice to most people I can be scary when I wanted to. All the boys suddenly looked scared. They all pointed to one boy. I should've known it was him. It was his way of getting revenge I guess. All the boys pointed to Diego Flores.

''Revenge!'' Diego screamed.

I completely ignored him and turned back to my tray of food and my friends.

Three minutes later another bag of snacks was thrown by Diego. They didn't hit Zoey this time. The bag hit me. Zoey looked shocked while Lindy, Lizbeth, and Addison looked amused.

I stood up and turned around. By the looks of Diego's face, he had meant to hit Zoey again, but missed. Then the bell rang.

He got saved. I don't expect to be as lucky next time.

He looked terrified.

Good.

He should be.

''I'm getting you after school. Get ready Flores.''
