Unspoken Truth

* • *
I stand before the school building and check the time.
I close my eyes and take a deep breath,"Only 30 seconds left"i mumble and rush in.

I see students whisper in the hallway which I term as 'normal gossip' because I knew I was late,and that wasn't interesting.
I wasn't interesting.
And even if I was,that wouldn't make any sense.
If I would get detention,then that would be something to talk about.
"20 seconds,19 seconds,18 seconds "I countdown when I spot our history teacher,Mr Collins walking briskly towards the class.

My heart begins to beat slower and I feel blood draining from my face.

He hated being late .

And I hated detention.

My eyes fall on Darien walking to his class with his textbooks in his left hand and his phone in his right hand.

"Bingo" I mumble happily as I quickly take out my phone and text him to look infront of him.
I watch him read my message and he looks over to me.
I signal him to distract Mr Collins and he immediately nods and starts to run towards Mr Collins who was only a few centimeters away from the classroom door.
Darien bumps into Mr Collins which makes all the books in his hands land on the floor; causing a huge ruckus.

"You careless student!!Look what you did!!Has the light of your phone already made you blind??!"Mr Collins roared looking down at him whilst Darien nervously picked up his books from the floor.

"S-sorry sir"Darien stammered with his hands shaking nervously.

The bell rang and students were shortly after gathered around Mr Collins and Darien.
"Screw off,All of You!!"Mr Collins screamed as the other students dispersed

"Now,you!"Mr Collins pointed at Darien
"Give me your phone this instant!!"He ordered

"Please no!"Darien cried as he fell to his feet .

I never knew he was such a great actor...

Darien's acting was better than I could ever imagine,he was holding on to Me Collins' trousers and was whining like a child.

I suddenly see the light.
With the 'light'i mean the perfect opportunity to get to class and I quickly slip into class.

I spot two girls in the back seats which happily smile at me.
Somehow,this makes me a little happy in the inside and I decided to sit next to them.

It felt like someone acknowledge me and at least knew I attended this school.

"Jordan"the girl introduces herself and reaches her hand out for me to shake when Mr Collins bursts into the door.

The noise in the class seized as we all stood up,"Good morning Sir"we all greeted in sync and sat back down.

"Today we are going to have our history test.You better no fail!!"he threatened all of us as he places the papers on the table.

I may not like history that much but I wasn't bad in it and I liked the names of the former presidents and others.

"Begin"Mr Collins tells us and silence emerges in the class.
Everyone turns to the paper and starts to answer the questions and I start as well.

After 35 minutes,Jordan stood up and submitted her test paper.
Some students' eyes go wide and others whisper among themselves while they watch Mr Collins mark the test.

"Continue your test!"Mr Collins snaps at us as we continue.

With the remaining 25 minutes,the class remained quiet and I began to look through my answers.
