Speaking of Funny College Incidents...

Okay, bear with me, this is going to be really stupid. I'm very tired so this probably looks very awful.
Don't worry, it' nothing bad or leading to arrest.
And, no, I'm not in college. I'm in high school, I'm just taking a college class. English Composition 1, actually, and I enjoy it, also.


Anyway, to explain today I must explain what happened just a couple weeks into the class.

One normal day, during class, Professor Hurst decided to go into one of his "don't get arrested or waste your college years" speeches. Which, I don't mind, but they don't quite relate to me yet. But that time, he asked, "is anyone not at least 18?" to go into a talk about being able to do whatever you wanted, but choosing to be wise with your time. Regrettably, I raised my hand. I could feel my friend, Annie, staring bullets into the back of my head. Apparently, I was the only one, because then he asked me,
"Really? How old are you?"
Crap. The one thing I hoped he wouldn't ask. But I couldn't lie, now.
"Fifteen."
That started the "holy CRAP!"s and "How is that POSSIBLE?" and that "WHAT?"s, all over the room, most loudly was Dave and Dave's friend (two large kids on the front row that seem to be lacking much intellect.)
"Fifteen, WOW", Prof. Hurst was taken aback -LITERALLY, he stepped backwards. Scared of the young genius, I guess.
Annie raised her hand at that point, I guess, because she said,
"Yeah, fifteen."
The girls next to us spun around in amazement.
"So how do you get here?" Chelsea, the less bright of the two, asked.
I tried to explain that I lived in the area, first.
"You live on campus?"
No. Let me repeat myself..
"What about driving?"
They probably drive illegally." Soncerae laughed. Weird name, I know. She goes by 'Sonny', or something.
"So, are you like super smart?" Chelsea, again.
"We're still in high school. "
"How--??!!"
"I'm just taking one class!"
"We're dual-enrolled," Annie said, coolly.
The whole room was still exploding in awe. Hurst,
"Okay, we got that all cleared up?"
"yeah."
"Good," he started to move on, but found another question. "So, do you two go to school together?"
Crap. I wasn't prepared for that one.
"Uh......."
"Sorta." Annie said, and I repeated.
"Home schooled?"
Crap! I just couldn't catch a break!
"Uh... yeah."
"Okay, just wondering because have you done stuff like this before?"
Needless to say, we don't like being outed at college classes that we're under aged homeschoolers that are smarter than them. Afterwards, Chelsea asked us how to spell "Luau". Which, I knew, but she didn't believe.
The next day I answered a question no one knew, (they always answer when they know.)
and I was correct. Chelsea whispered something and pointed behind her at me with her thumb, to which Sonny replied with, "I know."
I'm guessing it was something along the lines of, "It was that home schooled girl!"
Anyway, this was really long, so I'll tell you what happened today tomorrow, understand?

LOL. I'm so kool. "Annie said, cooly." Oh yeah. You know it. No, really, though. It's hysterical how they act like we're weird now that they know. I'm not telling anyone next semester. Nope, nope, nope.
