N-Dubz - The Young Days

Chapter 3 - Awkward Meetings.

The next day.

I got to school at 9:30am. Oh well, better late than never, I suppose. I walked into the classroom and my teacher asked where I was yesterday. I genuinely wasn't feeling well this morning. I could do without the third degree. This teacher hates me, he always has done. I'm not too keen on him either really. He's a bit arrogant for my liking.

"Tula, where were you yesterday?!" The teacher snapped at me.

"I was at home, in bed, ill. What's it to you?" I replied cockily.

"Yes, well next time, inform reception! Also, watch your attitude!" He added.

"Oi baldy, she said sorry!" My mate Charlotte piped up in my defence.

"Actually Charlotte, no she did not" He responded.

"Oh whatever. You're lucky I'm even here today you bald twat so don't fucking start! There's nothing wrong with my attitude by the way. You don't treat me right, so why should I treat you right?" I shouted.

"Thanks Charlotte for sticking up for me" Charlotte added.

"Yeah sorry, thanks Charl" I answered.

"It's alright, stupid bald bastard needs pulling down a peg or two because he's acting like bloody royalty" Charlotte grinned.

"I heard that Charlotte!" The teacher shouted.

"Yeah you were supposed to" Charlotte answered.

"What the hell am I even doing here?" I groaned.

"Well Tula, if you don't like it, you know where the door is" The teacher told me.

"You're a barrel of laughs today aren't you mate? Did your wife not give you one last night?" I teased him.

"First of all, I am NOT your "mate" I am your teacher and secondly what I do with my wife is NONE of your business you rude, disrespectful child!" He shouted, getting right in my face.

"Oi do you wanna move out of my face a bit?" I sneered.

"You're one of the worst students I've ever had to teach!" He taunted me.

"Yeah? You're one of the worst teachers we've ever had here! God knows how you got to be a teacher. You see teachers have to have some level of patience and you haven't got any patience at all have you? You'll get some students that will be a bit difficult and will challenge you. Not every student you teach will be as nice as pie and do as they're told. If you can't accept that, then I think you're in the wrong job pal! I'm not a bad person, not by any means, but if you're right with me, I'm right with you. All I've had off you since I was moved into this class is grief and you wonder why I'm like I am with you? You can't treat me like crap, for no reason at all and expect me to be right with you! It DOESN'T work like that!" I yelled at him, before walking out.

I walked out of school, went to the shop, calmed down for a bit before going to my next lesson, English. I hated that but the teacher I had for that, was about the only teacher that was cool with me. I had my best friend Tegan in that class so I'd be fine. 

A few hours later. 

I was at home. Costas said he had someone who wanted to "meet me" and he never even showed up for school, so I went to school for nothing. I decided to text him. I wasn't happy about being made to go to school for nothing.

To Costas:

Oi. Next time you tell me to go to school because someone wants to "meet me" make sure YOU actually go to school!
