First Day of School

Synopsis

Kirby Yale is a first-year med student on her first day of college.  She so desperately wants to make a good impression on the professor and her classmates.  But all she does is make a fool of herself by answering all the questions the professor asks.  Her classmates all start thinking of her as the teacher’s pet who is only trying to get ahead.  When accusations come out that Kirby is sleeping with the professor for good grades, will it result in expulsion?  Can Kirby set the record straight or will her reputation be tarnished forever?

Chapter 1

Kirby was late for her first day of school because she didn’t hear her alarm ring.  It all started when her bestie, Eryn Chambers, convinced her to go partying the night before.  Against her better judgment, Kirby agreed because she didn’t want to ruin her friendship with Eryn.  They’ve known each other since kindergarten.  How could she turn her down?

Kirby pulled into the university parking lot and found a parking space on the other side of the campus from her first class, anatomy class.  She was 15 minutes late for class when she arrived for the lecture.

“Well, Miss, have a seat.  Glad you could join us.” Prof. Anderson said to Kirby when she came into class as quietly as she could.  She hoped no one would notice her coming in.

As Kirby found her way to the last seat at the front of room, she tripped on a fellow classmates’ foot that was sticking out in the aisle.

“I’m so sorry!” the classmate snickered as Kirby managed to compose herself and get to the empty seat.

“Well, young lady, are you finished disrupting my class?” Prof. Anderson asked Kirby.

“Yes, sir.” Kirby politely said.

“Very well, then.  Let’s have no more interruptions.”

When Prof. Anderson asked the class a question, no one raised a hand to reply, so he called on Kirby.

“Young lady, what is your name?”

“Kirby.  Kirby Yale.” Kirby replied.

“Miss Yale, can you give me answer to my question?”

Kirby answered the question perfectly.  So perfectly, the rest of the class looked at her as if she were fake.  Like she wanted to impress the instructor.

It was from that moment on, that Kirby would have a hard time in her anatomy class.

When Kirby was leaving after class ended, she could hear whispers from the other students, “Well if isn’t Miss Know-It-All!” and “What makes her so special?!”

She went home after class nearly in tears and cried for almost an hour.  She wondered how she was going to get through the semester with classmates like that?

Chapter 2

The next day, Kirby arrived at class hopeful for a better day, but a blonde classmate stopped her in the hall.

“Hey!  Miss Know-It-All!” she yelled out at Kirby.

Kirby continued on her way to class hoping not to start trouble, but it only infuriated the blonde.

“Well, Miss Know-It-All thinks she can ignore me!” the blonde said heatedly.  “Well, I get her back!”

Kirby sat down at a seat in her anatomy class hoping to hide from her troublesome classmates.  But it seemed Prof. Anderson only perpetuated the situation when he called on Kirby for answers. 

After class, Kirby went up to Prof. Anderson’s desk and had a talk with him.

“Prof. Anderson?” Kirby asked.

“Well, Kirby.” Prof. Anderson greeted her.

“Can I talk with you?”

“Sure, what seems to be the problem?”

“I wanted to discuss today’s lecture?” Kirby lied because she didn’t want to cause an issue with him calling on her that day.

“Well, what is it you didn’t understand?”

“Most of it.” Kirby continued to lie.

“Have a seat next to me and I’ll see if I can help you understand better.” Prof. Anderson said, pulling up a chair so Kirby could sit next to him.

While Prof. Kirby was helping Kirby with the day’s lesson, the blonde classmate saw what was going on and got the wrong impression of the situation.  She left the classroom to find her friends.

“Hey, Jessie, you won’t believe who I saw Prof. Anderson with?” said the blonde classmate, who’s name is Kerrie.

“Who, Kerrie?” Jessie said, as Lisa Walters joined in.

“That Kirby Yale!” Kerrie said disgustedly at the thought.

“What were they doing?” Lisa asked with Jessie nodding, wanting to know what Kerrie saw.

“They were kissing.” Kerrie exclaimed.

“What?!” Jessie and Lisa exclaimed in shocked amazement.

“Yeah!  Kirby Yale must be one of those hot shot students who sleeps with the teacher to get good grades!” Kerrie assumed.

“Well, we must keep a watch on Kirby Yale.” Jessie told her friends.  “We can’t have Miss Know-It-All getting away with this behavior.”

“Yes!” the three girls nodded in agreement, shaking their hands.  “We must keep a watch on Kirby Yale.”

Meanwhile, back at Prof. Anderson’s class…..

“Well, thank you Prof. Anderson for the clarification on today’s lesson.” Kirby said as she picked up her bag and stuffed her books into it. 

“You’re welcome, Kirby.  It was my pleasure to help you.”

Kirby went back to her dorm satisfied that things were going to finally go well, unbeknownst to her the rumor that was starting about her.
