Chapter 1

The Adventures of the Magical IB Crew

Disclaimer: The names of the teachers were changed slightly to prevent embarrassment.

"Shit" thought Chloe as she glanced at her timetable. "Double TOK. What the hell was TOK?" It sounded dangerous. Like it was out of a Chuck Norris film. Could it be….Theory of Karate?
She walked into the classroom and was bitterly disappointed. No Chuck Norris, no karate. Just Nerds.

"Welcome to IB" smiled the teacher. "Please take a seat. Chloe, is it?"
She nodded in approval. Her classmates looked so naïve and full of hope. In the next two years, that hope would degrade into frustration and despair.

"Now, I’m not saying that the International Baccalaureate is a superior course to the OP, it is just different. So I wish you all the best in your studies. The teacher continued, Why don’t we begin by introducing ourselves? Just say your name and why you decided to do IB. I’ll start. My name is Mrs Nesbette, and I decided to teach IB because I was looking for a challenge." She turned to a red headed girl sitting in the front and asked her to stand.

"Hi. My name’s Leah and I chose to do IB because I want to study in Scotland and…yeah." She smiled sweetly and sat back down. The girl next to her was next. "I’m Steph, and I’m doing IB because I’m pretty much perfect." "Fair Enough," thought Chloe. And then she realised it was her turn. "Oh umm, me?" Everyone gave her a “duh” look. "Well my name’s Chloe, and I’m the next big thing in Hollywood. But I want to go to Oxford University first." JD giggled and the rest of the class joined in.
"Hi I’m JD…I’m Irish." Mrs Nesbette cracked up. "And I’m dumb and I figured IB was for smart people, hence i thought that may help my image" He then exchanged a goofy look with the class and sat back down. $haniqwa, otherwise known as “Jay” announced that he decided to do IB for the chicks. Johnny agreed, however added that dumb chicks are just as hot. Chloe whispered WTF to Steph and she laughed.
"I don’t know why I’m doing IB" said Johnny "Is it too late to change back to OP?" Mrs Nesbette replied with a lie: There’s no need to change. IB isn’t that much harder than the OP course.
Tom was next:
"I’m Tom. And I’d like to do engineering when I leave school. I thought IB might get me into a good university." Jess was last to introduce herself. "I’m Jess, and I’m doing IB because I’m really smart and committed to my studies."

And from that day on they would forever be known as the IB crew. In the first week friendships were formed, personal battles were fought and assignments were written. And the IB crew learnt that caffeine was more valuable than gold.
