The Mess

The mess part 3

Getting to class there were people already settled in though many of them just 4 people who were know as the school nerds. My friends and I settled at our normal space at the back of the class. Since this was the only class I had with Ashley and Chris I usually let them decide where we would sit and make most use of each others company.
The bell for second period rang and the other students flooded in the class and we had to end our card game which we had been playing as we were awaiting for the bell.Our history teacher Mr Bryce was a cranky old man who thought it would be fun to always watch old crappy history videos for every history lesson. God I hated this man with a passion not only for making us watch old crappy history videos but also for making me land in trouble with my mother once. The reason why is here:
January 10th 2021.
Once I had been late to the history class because Ashley had thought it would be funny to lock my locker with a different pair of keys and not tell me. Once I got to my locker I tried opening it but it refused and that day I had already been late for school.I got angry and stomped down the hallways to class and unfortunately I was to consumed by my own anger that I did not see a bucket of water which caused my downfall. All along I had thought that my day was screwed but I did not know it was just the beginning of a bad day.
I knew that I had to get my sorry ass to class no matter the situation or the old history teacher would land my sorry ass in big trouble with my mother and also my grades would be messed up. I got up went to the bathroom and tried wiping the water dry but seems I ended up making a bigger mess. I was so frustrated and I gave up on the water and continued to class. I opened the door and all eyes landed on me.
"And where have you been young lady?"my history teacher asked while looking at me like I was the most disgusting thing existing at the moment. Well excuse me it's not like I purposely let myself fall .
I know you think I said that aloud but I didn't just like you I wish I did but I was trying to save my sorry ass from more trouble than I already was.
"Am sorry sir I tripped and fell on my way to class and I tried to clean up the mess." I tried explaining to him. There were many students snickering but I recognized one and of course it was Ashley trying to hold back her laughter
I gave her the most heated glare I could muster hoping to shut her up but she ended up smirking at me and Chris burst out laughing as he always claimed that whenever I glared I ended up looking like a cute puppy. That asshole I was so ready to give him a piece of my mind but Mr Andrew handed me a detention letter and asked me to take a sit but to ensure I don't ruin the expensive chairs in the class and everyone burst out laughing.
I made sure not to sit near Ashley and Chris because I was angry at them a promised myself not to talk to them. After class I felt a pair of arms around my shoulders and when I looked I found Chris and Ashley of course with her puppy dog eyes trying to make me talk to them. I shrugged of their hands and dashed out of class. I could hear them calling out my name but I continued running.
During lunch that day I decided to go to the library where I knew no one would disturb me just to find Ashley and Chris there upon arrival. "I knew we would find you here."Ashley said." What do you want?" I asked them." We are sorry please forgive us please please." They both said. I continued ignoring them but Ashley removed the only thing she knew I could not resist, my favorite candy." Please" Ashley said with her hands outstretched. I could not resist it so I took. "This doesn't mean I have forgiven you guys"I made sure to make it clear to them. "Ooh common please"Chris said. "We will make sure to stay and wait for you until you are out of detention, please forgive us." He said .
I thought about it and saw since they would be enduring long hours of waiting for me to leave detention then that was punishment enough. "I forgive you then." I said. "Hurray!"Ashley said grabbing me and pulling me into a tight hug. "Let go""You are suffocating me""I can't breath.....ee"I tried to tell her. "Ooops!" I forgot "Ashley said. Not to be dramatic or anything but for a small girl she sure had a strong shoulder.
The bell for going home rung and I knew it was time for my doom that was detention. Accompanied by Ashley and Chris I walked into detention and I was lucky since there was only one student who seemed to be minding his business. I gave the detention slip to the teacher and sat down opened my assignment and started doing it in order to make the detention hours bearable.
After detention was over I walked out and found Ashley and Chris lets say rather impatiently waiting for me. 'What the hell!"Ashley said"I almost died of hunger."She continued complaining. Of course leave it to Ashley to always complain about hunger.
I thought that maybe after detention all my problems were solved but what I did not know is that my day was not yet over. After dropping Ashley and Chris off I drove home and since I had not been expecting my mother home for that whole week I thought maybe I was safe from more trouble. My hopes were crushed when I saw not only my mother standing outside the house looking livid but also here so called boyfriend standing right behind her smirking. I hated that man with every bone in my body. He was always a know it all who added fuel to the fire.
"Rey Anderson Matthews get out of that car now."And that my friends is how I knew I was in deep deep trouble. I parked my car and followed my mother to the house."You are in so much trouble dear daughter."my mother's asshole boyfriend Jack said to me. I glared at him and walked in .
"So you decided to go to school late, go to history class late and try talking back to your teacher and now you're home late."my mother said. "What the hell!"that old crappy history teacher dared to say I talked back to him my thoughts said. I could not try defending myself to my mother because I knew she would not believe me and she would get me in more trouble.
"I left you just for two weeks and you are already ruling yourself young lady."my mother continued."I think I will let your father decide your punishment."she said and that was my doom right there.
I know you are probably thinking she was talking about my real father but you are so wrong she was referring to her asshole boyfriend Jack. "Ooh honey I think we should just take her car that would be punishment enough."Jack said . At that moment I felt like snapping his neck into two but I knew if I did that my mother would kick my sorry ass out of the house. "But mom."I tried protesting but I knew there was nothing I would do about it because she always sided with her asshole boyfriend. That was proven when she took my car keys and walked to her room. "Ooh sweetie don't worry daddy will help you talk to mom."the asshole even dared to touch my face . I walked away tears welling in my eyes and I couldn't let Jack see them.
My relationship with my mother had always been good but all this changed when my dad left her and then came along Jack who made her my enemy. And that my friends is why I hated that old crappy history teacher.
Present day.
As usual the history teacher put the videos and sat at his usual spot where he did nothing but snore his head off. A few minutes later a piece of paper landed on my locker and when I checked to see who had thrown it I saw that everyone was busy concentrating on their phones. I picked up the piece of paper and slowly opened it and saw some words scribbled asking me to go out with them. I knew this handwriting by heart because the owner had a written me so many letters in the past and yes your guess is right it was Matthews handwriting. But before I could write a reply which of course was going to be a big no, the paper was snatched out of my hands by Ashley.
She then looked at me mischievously and then I realized I was so done. I knew she was going to write a yes."Please Ashley don't do it "I pleaded. "Okay I won't."she said ."You won't?"I asked her in shock because the Ashley I knew would never agree without a compromise but I guess I spoke to soon. "Only if you agree to go with us to the party."she smiled mischievously. "But......"I tried protesting. "It's either the party or go out with Matthew."she added . And that my friends is how I ended up being among the people attending the party.
