Busting For Trouble

Chap3 - Science sucks

"So, what do you all have to say?"

A booming voice rang throughout the whole office. Pen tapping against the desk and an awkward silence were the only sounds that were going on in the room. The principal had his eyes narrowed at the trio, almost like a predator closely watching their prey, making sure it wouldn't have escaped.

Elijah was side eyeing Tao, arms crossed together, his foot quickly becoming impatient, pressing against the floor, waiting for someone to speak up. Tao's reaction wasn't too different, his cheek rested on his hand, elbow pressing against the soft cushions of the chair's armrest in front of the desk. Sapphire nervously shifted in her seat, fidgeting with the lace of her sleeve in order to try and ease the nervousness, which, failed.

"Science sucks ass."

The black-haired boy spoke out, looking straight in the principal's eyes, not seeming to hold back on any of his words. His voice was straight-forward, simply not caring about the consequences of his own actions.

".. Excuse me, young man? How dare you insinuate-"

"Yeah, Eli's right. Science is probably the worst subject in this whole shithole."

Tao snickered under his breath, his lips molded into a shit-eating grin, looking back at the principal, who looked rather shocked. Not only at the way he'd gotten interrupted, but at the way Tao's words.. Came out like. In this prestigious school, he expected nothing but pure respect towards himself. He'd be about to speak out—

"Yeah, what they said!"

Sapphire spoke out, glaring at the principal, trying to copy what the other two did.

The principal simply stood up, banging his hands against his own desk. He was livid, if not more.

"Very well then. Get out of my foresaken office, and go to science class!"

He demanded, his voice circling the room like a sport's car on a lane. A vein was about to pop in his forehead, gripping the desk as tightly as he humanly could. Never in his thirty years of-

"Pfft. Bye bye."

Tao spoke, shrugging and getting up, taking the two by their arms and walking towards the door. As they were about to exit, Elijah turned back for a moment, before flipping off the principal, along Sapphire sticking her tongue at him.

".. You—"

The principal was, once again, interrupted by the door behind the three loudly slamming. He sighed, placing his hands on his already balding head.

".. Where will I ever go with these kids.. At this rate, they'll make me become fully bald.."

Nicholas POV;

Goddamn the principal for making science class an actual thing. How was it so dreading? The teacher really wasn't any better— This woman just yapped and yapped about sperm cells or whatever it was. When did she actually teach would've been a good question.

I shifted my gaze towards a pen on my table, taking it and rolling it around my empty notebook in circular motions. This was so boring, I could almost feel my asscheeks clench from the tediousness of the whole ordeal—

Suddenly hearing a noise, my head immediately snaps towards the door, watching THEM come into the door. Speaking as loudly as ever, without any halt. The good ol' big three everyone knew.

"Oh? Late, are we? Just because you three have a lot of money, does not mean you can—"

"Spare the lecture."

Tao simply rolled his eyes, unable to keep his annoyance. I guess they've been places already, and a lecture repeating the same old shit wasn't exactly ideal.

The teacher simply clicked her tongue, pointing towards their seats.

"Just go."

And so, they went.. They definitely went. As they passed by, I could already hear their talking and snickering. This was.. So stupid, for a lack of a better word.

Eventually, I just continued to do shit with my pen. Swinging it around, rolling it around, drawing some stuff.. What else was   I supposed to do, when the class was as interesting as a "tiktok girlie"? I'd rather be at some prick's house doing shit than listening to whatever she was yippin'n'yappin about.

I was about to continue my drawing, the pen going from side to side, drawing a stupid-looking bird. Until—

"Okay guys! I'm going to assign a project on the reproductive system, so I'll give everyone a work-partner!"

The woman cheerfully boasted, walking over to her desk and sitting onto it, her gaze carefully hawking at the whole class. I couldn't help but feel like something bad was about to happen..

"Lucy and Nicholas.. You two together."

The teacher spoke, as I breathed a sigh of relief. I was about to speak up, before she was faster than me,

"Not Nicholas C, I mean Nicholas 𝘔. Nicholas C will be with.."

I'm screwed. I'm screwed. I'M FUCKED. Why couldn't she just put me with my own sister, and story finished? Why??? Not only was she ugly and probably didn't have sex since nineteen eighty, but she ALSO had to be so bitchy that I couldn't even do my work with my own SISTER—

"Elijah. Nicholas C and Elijah."

.. Yeah, I'm definitely fucked.
