Love, Hate, and Other Things

Chapter 21: Paranoid

Why was revenge being plotted against me? Who was plotting revenge? When would I be plotted against?

Tons of questions filled my mind. I couldn't concentrate on my mid-term exam in front of me. What's worse is, that it was in my worst subject. Math.

The simple things I could handle, like algebraic equations, trigonometric problems, and calculus. But I forget their formatting... So it's really complicated.

I glanced at Tess who was somehow already at the end of the test.

"Miss Jones! Keep your eyes on your own paper or I shall take it away from you." My teacher, Mrs. McCoy, yelled at me. For a lady who's in her 50s, she's pretty loud.

"I'm sorry." I muttered before continuing my test. I heard light snickers around me.

What did I do to deserve this?

"Hello? Niall. I am crushing your girlfriend right now and I can't get up. Can you help me?"

I have been laying on Sheena and with all her effort, she couldn't push me off her.

And Niall? Well, he was just standing there watching me crush his girlfriend.

Zayn? I have no idea.

"Niall! Get me off your damn girlfriend already!" Niall just stood there. I kicked his shin.

"Ow! What was that for? Sheesh! I'll help you." Niall took my arm and jerked me up. Next, he just carried Sheena bridal style and dropped her on the couch, gently.

"Oh, bloody hell. We only have an hour left until sound check. I'm not getting you any food, Niall. You can starve." I walked out of the hotel room, with Niall chasing after me, and went to my car.

"Wait! I want food too! Take me with you!" Niall rushed to the passengers side and hopped into my car.

"Wow. You want food more than your girlfriend?" I chuckled at his reaction afterwards.

· An Hour After The Test ·

I managed to finish before class was over. Emphasis on managed. I was the last one to turn it in and Mrs. McCoy, didn't seem to like that one bit. She glared at me like I was some bug crawling on the ground.

"Alright. It seems that everyone has finished the test. Pack up your things and you may have the rest of class time to yourselves." Mrs. McCoy announced. I was about to fist pump to myself before she called out my name with the eight most dreadful words to follow. "Miss Jones. May I have a word with you please?" I gulped deeply and turned to face her, trying to stay calm. Only a month into school and I got in trouble.

Ugh... Sheena's gonna kill me when she finds out I got in trouble. Yeah... Before she left, she made me promise that I wouldn't get into trouble... Like I did when I was in Years 7-9... I was a bad kid until I met her. Though, she helped me through it.

She lead me into her office. I silently told Tess to get my things ready.

"Now, Miss Jones. You seem like a fine student." You couldn't get anymore fake than that line. "What I am utterly shocked to find out is that you would cheat on a test!"

"I beg your pardon, Mrs. McCoy, but I never cheated! I simply just glanced at Tess. I was going to ask her for an eraser because everyone around me apparently didn't have one." I explained. "And anyways, why do you hate me?"

"Excuse me?" Mrs. McCoy seemed startled.

"You obviously hate me. I mean, whenever I make mistakes, I'm picked on. When someone else makes a mistake, 'Don't do that again.' and you leave them alone! Why do you hate me?!" I was already raising my voice.

"Miss Jones, I do not hate you." she took in a deep breath before continuing. "I'm simply just stressed whenever I see your face." Wow. What a nice way to say that. "You remind me so much of my daughter, Paris. She has an attitude and is always getting into trouble! I'm sorry if it seems like I do hate you. I don't."

"Then why do you glare at me? Do you glare at Paris that way?"

"Erm... Yes. She's only fifteen. She's giving me a hard time and her boyfriend doesn't help."

Whoa... One second, she was getting mad at me and now she's suddenly telling me about her daughter?

"Mrs. McCoy, I would honestly love to hear your story, but I have to go now... I'm sorry." I briskly left the room.

As soon as I left the room, I dashed outside. Tess was facing her back towards the door so I quietly snuck up to her.

"BOO!" I shouted.

"Maddie! Don't do that again!" Tess slapped me on the shoulder as she scolded me.

"Sorry. You seemed bored. Let's go get some food, hmm?" I suggested. I was walking towards the cafeteria, but Tess stopped me. "What?"

"Let's go out! The lunch here is crappy anyways."

"You do have a point."

I'm sorry. This is short and scrappy again. -.-

I suddenly don't feel like writing..

Don't be surprised if I abandon this story again. I'll likely do that in the future also.
