Biology or Chemistry?

I am in ninth grade and i have the choice between taking biology or chemistry next semester. I took the same biology course last year as ap that they offer now but i had a bad teacher, we spent almost the whole year studying botany, and don't feel like i learned enough. This year we have a new science teacher and he is going to teach mainly on what i would like to learn (genetics and microbiology). On the other hand i can take chemistry from another really good teacher and be with all my friends. I don't really know which i will use more. If i stick with chemistry i will have more free time in senior year to study courses that i would need at a community college.
