Have Some Composure

I took out my books, knowing today was a lecture. We were learning about Oedipus the Great, something I was familiar with. The teacher came in and called her to the front, like he always did. No new student could get away with it.

She sighed as she stood up then walked over to the front of the class, "My name is Liliana Swan, you can call me Lily. I'm 16 years old and I am an aspiring designer, and for my future; well lets just say I hope I'm not aspiring for too long." she laughed a little.

the teacher smiled, "Where do you hope to be in ten years?" he asked.

"Ten years?" she said making a face, "Well, I hope I'm out of college with a bachelors in Fashion Design and Business management. I hope to have my own line of clothing, and possibly my own home line," she said.

"Goodjob Miss Swan, have a seat," he smiled, "Does anyone have any questions for Miss Swan?" he asked.

"Q-questions?" she laughed a little as she sat down.

"Will you make my prom dress?" one girl asked making the class laugh.

"Uhm, well I don't see why not," she said looking at her, "It won't be free but, talk to me after class," she nodded to her and the girl look shocked.

I nodded a little as she spoke, watching as she walked over to her desk. "You know now everyone is going to want you to make their dress. Then you'll be able to make enough to jump start your business." I laughed, looking up as the teacher started talking.

She smiled a little,"True, but it's okay. I've already got sketches for prom and formal," she told her as she flipped through the book.

I nodded a little as she spoke. "How long have you been designing?"

"Since I can remember," she smiled a little as she looked at her.

I nodded a little doodling in my notebook. This class bored me most of the time. "That's cool, maybe you could teach me some stuff. That would be a cool thing to learn."

She smiled,"Sure, the best thing to learn about fashion is measurments," she said to her,"and what looks best with what shape. By all means wear what you want but some shapes look better with certain styles,"

"My mom is always telling me about that, but I don't really pay attention. I just pick out what I like and leave it at that." I murmured, looking at the clock as the second hand reached the spot that would make the bell ring

She smiled a llittle,"I'll measure you some time then tell you what shape and style suits you best," she told her,"Then you can take it or leave it,"

I nodded a little, grabbing my things and packing them up. "Alright, cool. Maybe you could come over sometime and do that. Then you can tell me everything."

She smiled,"Yeah I can do that," she said to her with a nod,"Just tell me when, I'll get Bella to drive me,"

I nodded a little, standing to go to my locker. "Alright, sure. So after lunch, we have one more class together. Are you good at math? I hate it with a passion."

"I'm decent at it," she said to her smiling a little.

I laughed. "Great, then you can help me with it. Do you want to stop by your locker before we go for lunch?" I asked, walking down the hall towards mine.

She nodded,"Sure we can work on it," she smiled,"Yeah I need to stop by my locker I'll meet you in the lunch room?"

"Alright, I'll see you there. We sit on the side by the window." I told her, before walking over to my locker to put my books away and walk to the cafeteria.

She nodded a little,"Alright," she said to her smiling, "I'll see you then," she said to her.

I put my books away and walked over to the cafeteria, going to find my friends at the table. I wasn't really hungry, so I'd probably just get a wrap or something until I could eat at home.

Liliana looked around then spotted them in the cafeteria then sat down with her bento box. "Hey," she smiled,"so what are you have issues with?" she asked.
