Stupid Exchange

Chapter 3- first day

I stayed in the background for a while, hoping that this Jace guy would maybe go away, but I lost hope because I heard the two boys downstairs screaming and cheering like something had just happened, they were just playing video games.

I sighed really loudly and decided to go downstairs, I had no choice anyway.
Sooner or later I would had to go downstairs.

Kayla was on the couch scrolling through her phone. I sat down next to her and wanted to whisper something to her.
"When are we finally going to leave, I don't like this Jace guy at all."
I whispered as quietly as I could in Kayla's ear.

"I heard that, clumsy."
He got that smirk on his face again,
it provoked me so much.

I looked over at him.
"Nobody was talking to you, idiot."

Kayla slowly understood what was going on and wanted to change the subject.
"Okayyyy guys, how about we leave now? We don't have much time left anyway!"

I was so grateful to her, I hoped this was the last time I would have to talk to Jace or even see him.

I went to my bag and grabbed it.
I didn't have many classes that day, just biology, math, art and geography.

Kalya and I only had one class together,
art.

The four of us walked to Josh's car, I kept extra distance from Jace, it was necessary.

In the car,
Josh and Kayla sat together in the front, of course that meant I had to sit in the back with Jace.

"Don't you have any popcorn to spill today?"
he said sarcastically, he laughed slightly, you could see he was trying to provoke me.

"I'm not going to let you provoke me, you idiot, I've only known you for a few hours and I already don't like you, so shut up"
I said, I was really annoyed.

The rest of the drive was silent, I looked at my phone and so did Jace, there was nothing we could talk about.

When we arrived, Josh kissed Kayla and we went our separate ways, the boys had Spanish and Kayla and I had art.
Luckily we were allowed to sit next to each other and had time to chat.
The teacher was sitting at the table herself and was distracted.

"Well, I understand that you don't like Jace, but I didn't understand why, you just met him?" Kayla said.

"So, remember when I told you yesterday about that idiot and his girlfriend at the movies who 'accidentally' bumped into me?"

"Yes, I remember."

"Yes, well, that was Jace with his girlfriend"

She didn't look surprised, as if she already knew.

"Why aren't you surprised?" I asked curiously.

She immediately answered my question.
"Jace is an idiot, yes, so no wonder he was the boy from yesterday, besides he's a player, he's never serious with a girl, after one night she's history for him, so she wasn't his girlfriend."

"Ohh, that makes sense!"
I said, he even looked like a player.

"Yeah, believe me, if he hurts you or anything, I'll punch him until he gets on his knees in front of you and begs for forgiveness."

We both started laughing.

But I asked her something else...
"Kayla, what makes you think I would ever get involved with him?"

"The way he looked at you, I knew immediately what he was planning."

"Never, I would never get involved with someone like that, I'd rather throw up, he's not even good looking."
I said.
I lied about one thing... he was really handsome and attractive, you had to give him that, but I didn't lie about the other things, I would never get involved with someone like that, he was an jerk.

Kayla started laughing.
"Well, please be careful Navy, he's a player and has broken too many girls hearts, if he broke yours I'd break all of his bones."

From that moment on I started laughing too. We probably laughed a little too much, because even the teacher, who didn't even payed attention herself, noticed us.

"Quiet back there, or do you want to see the principal?"

We both went quiet.
What did she mean 'see the principal' ??
We just laughed, she was definitely overreacting.

"That's what I thought" she said.
She probably felt cool, but that was just stupid.

We stayed quiet for the rest of the class and she looked at us the whole time like we pushed someone out of the window or something.

When art class was over, I had math, I hated math.

I entered the room where math was supposed to take place.
I was about to sit down in my seat, but the math teacher Mr. Rodriguez called my name.

"Navy, would you like to introduce yourself to the class?"

No, I really didn't, but I didn't want to seem rude, so I agreed.
I stood in front of the class and everyone's attention fell on me.
Some people already whispered, the others smiled nicely.

"Hello everyone, I'm Navy Willow Smith, I'm seventeen and I'm an exchange student from London."

"Okay Navy, you can sit next to Dylan,"
said Mr. Rodriguez.

I looked around briefly when I saw a boy who smiled nicely at me and cleared the chair next to him of his things.
He had blonde hair and brown eyes.
I walked over to him.

"Hey, are you Dylan?"

"Yes," he replied,
"You must be Navy, nice to meet you."

We started chatting from the moment I sat down next to him, he was really funny and had the same interests as me, we had a lot in common.
He was just about to tell me about the worst teachers in school, when Mr. Rodriguez announced that we should do a pair project and finish it at home.

"Can I have your number?" he asked.

I had only known him for an hour so I looked confused.

He noticed immediately that I had misunderstood.
"Oh sorry, I meant just for the pair project, of course!"

"Yeah, right,"
I replied.

I gave him my number.
