Haywire Disguise

2nd

People started to tattle and bring their faces close to each other with scrutiny in the air. I swipe my bangs away from my face as I move my head involuntarily. I decided to head myself to the C.R to check one last time if my foundation covered up some of the bruises I got from accidentally falling.

If mom saw this, god forbid I'd stay at home till I'm 50 just because of a misundertanding. Well it doesn't matter, mom isn't here so who'd care. I felt a tap on my shoulder and I nonchalantly turn around.

"Later"

I wanted to speak up but it seems like he already walked away after that. Well then, guess that means I'll meet him up at break.

~*~

The murmurs and stares start to annoy me. Should I tell them all to stop? No it'll just create more gossips. Ahhhh fuck it. I'm too lazy to even yell or move right now.

I placed my arms and head on the table and felt like taking a short nap. The bell started to ring signaling our break has begun. I can feel everyones footstep as they head outside, chattering.

"Ms. Harper, the principal calls you to his office" Ms. Quinn stated with monotone as she starts to bring out her lipstick and almost seemingly smudge her lips with too much lipgloss and lipstick. I sighed once again as I collect all my energy just to stand up and go walk out of this annoying classroom filled with tentative air. As soon as I walk out everyone darted their gazes at me. No more murmurs? What's going on?

I stride with hesitance when their eyes followed me. I finally reached the principal's office and knocked on his door.

"Come in" After recieving my cue, I open the door and went inside cracking my knuckles and licking my lips.

"Have a sit" He motioned me to one of his leather sofa and I follow his command.

"Do you know why I called you here today?" He asked while placing his arms on the wooden table and intertwining his fingers. I nodded not being able to speak.

"And do you have any idea what you just did these past few weeks could've done to this school?" He now frowned disgruntled. I silently sighed through my nose and dart my gaze elsewhere, but he continued.

"Ms. Harper. I suggest you question your demeanor and develope it. You are a girl. A female. A woman. You are not supposed to be like this." His stereotypical statement made me scrunch my nose. I'm really tired of hearing that. I look back at him with no fear whatsoever while he stared back. Guess were having a stare battle. Seconds later he spoke up again.

"With you being this way, you must be fully aware that it affects this schools reputation am I right?" I nod once again, hoping this oration will end. Please dont let him suspend me I am goddamn fed up staying at home doing nothing. He raised his brow at me and went on.

"Are you listening?" Yes, I fucking am. All this goddamn time I am listening to every one of your shitty lectures and never have I ever had the chance to speak up. Go on, keep talking.

"Yes" I spat with passion. He sighed and shook his head in disapproval.

"This is why you displease us Ms. Harper. Please do consider changing your ways." Why thank you for that wonderful advice, I will not take it.

"I will not suspend you because I have faith in you. I know someday you will change and finally realize what you're doing. But always remember, if you plan to continue your ways......I can and will expel you without hesitating." He spat his words with coerce and I nod. Soon I may be recognized as the notorious expellee in this neighbourhood.

"You may leave." I did as he stated and left like the wind. I ignore everyones stare as I head myself out to my spot. A willow tree located behind the schools garden is where I usually hang out with the person I trust and befriend with. I sat down on the grass and stretched my neck due to its stifness.

"So what really happened, Vylia." I look up to see Jayden sitting on one of the branch with his usual raised brow. I shook my head with a smile and lean my head on the tree.

"Come down here you idiot"
