Complicated Love(ON HOLD)

Chapter-1-Break the Rules

#*Caroline's POV*#

''Ms. Winston!'' called out a bellowing voice. I was shaken awake by the guy beside me.I grudgingly opened my eyelids to reveal a hot red face Mr. Turner glaring daggers at me.I had fallen asleep in the first week of my junior year itself!! My dad would kill me if he found out!

''May I ask why you had the sudden urge to fall asleep in history? Is it that boring?Or do you have your own personal reasons??" shouted Mr. Turner.

Although I'd love to say it was, I possibly couldn't as it would probably give me a business class flight to the principal's office. I was nudged by my partner once again who indicated I needed to stand up and answer. I did so as it was disrespectful to talk to the teacher while half asleep.

I replied to my history teacher with a calm,"Sorry, I was keeping off my jet lag from last night and I couldn't get enough sleep as of now. I fell asleep without knowing and I apologize and promise to never do so again."

"You think this is a place to wear off your jet lag and fall asleep? Well, I do not consider that as an excuse, for all I know you could have been partying all night long and wore it off in school. I shall have you sent to the principal's office and you can speak things out with him." contradicted Mr.Turner.

I may not like history that much but I certainly do not like the teacher as of now. I walked up to his desk and took the note from him.As I exited the hall, I realized I'd probably get a detention and my parents would be informed.And this would lead me to be grounded.

Well, it was not entirely my fault since my dad got transferred to California due to his previous office being under maintenance.His new office is presently the headquarters of the bank he works at.

My mom is a lawyer and even though she's strict she understands me better than anyone else in my family. My dad is the strict and straightforward one. Both my parents just happen to be.......what you could say, old school. They have set aside strict rules for all of us (Veronica and Alice who happen to be my elder and younger sister and well, me) to follow.

Veronica is the party-going, rebellious child and she makes everything in her way due to her character trait from my dad she's extremely persuasive. She has her own boyfriend as she is in her senior year. Alice happens to be the quiet and shy one in our family. She loves to read books like me and draw random stuff in her secret diary.

I, on the other hand, am the peace keeper and believed to be mischief maker of the house. Being the middle sister I have to stop my sister's fights from getting out of hand and I normally tend to do so. During the occasion fight when my parents lose control and fight among themselves. Though I can't figure out why but my parents think I'll take my sister's steps and not listen and obey them or something along those lines.

Now, back to my current situation,

As I walked past the corridors to the principal's office I hope to god he puts this aside and decides to not grant me a detention. It was a good thing I took that girl Steph -something on her offer to show me around. I hitched up my breath and cautiously opened the door leading to Mr. Parkinson's office. He was apparently busy but motioned for me to enter and sit.

I looked around and gulped, nervous at meeting him. There was a huge plaque with the syllables- MR. PARKINSON, and with a tinier font was given a subtitle- EXECUTIVE PRINCIPAL. The walls were a nice shade of blue and light yellow, the colors of the school flag with curtains in cream silk. I saw two pole stands in the corner, one with the school's flag- blue and yellow to match the ocean with an animatic shark in the center, and the other was the school's soccer team(or football, whichever you prefer me to say)

As Mr.Parkinson ended his call he looked up to me,"Well aren't you the new student here Ms. Winston? How may I help you?" He sounded really sweet but I was scared since I had never been the girl to go to a principal's office and stand my posture.I didn't really know how to convey it, I mean who says- I fell asleep in my history class at my first day at junior year?Somehow I managed to frame it in such a way that I wouldn't look like a fool.

"Mr. Turner sent me here because I fell asleep during his class. He wanted me to personally convey my behavior to you.", I managed to utter without losing my voice. At this, he stares at me as if examining me like a specimen.

"Well is that so? I have seen your academic report which is why you have been accepted to Pacific Coast High. And from what I make out you do not seem to be the person to fall asleep in any class. So what is your reason, Ms. Winston?", he questions after some time.

"I don't really know how to convey this but, um, my dad had a transfer to California and that was why I was shifted and joined Pacific Coast High. Things at home were hectic and we flew here last night, I did not get my sleep and I was way too tired and then I had to go to school and yea... I pretty much fainted on the table due to exhaustion and jet lag if you keep it that way.", I replied waiting for his reaction.

"Well, I shall excuse you this time but henceforth no warnings shall be given and you would land up in detention, which I know you don't want. Now scoot over to class before you are sent back in here for being late." , he calmly implies.

I heaved a sigh of relief as I was grateful not to fall into detention. Heading out to the door that was a barrier between me and the long, exhausting hallways I turned back and bid good-bye after promising to keep in mind not to fall into trouble.

"All the best, Ms. Winston and welcome to Pacific High", beckons Mr. Parkinson, a gleaming white smile on his pale yet lively face.

Walking out to the hallways I realized how much my life changed, from a lonely person in Colorado to a getting-sent-to-the-principal-on-first-day-of-school girl. Entering my Elective English class, that I had taken due to my fantasy to work as a writer/publisher, I thought, - yes, best of luck to me indeed...

How was it?? What do you think about Caroline's persona?

To those of you who think it's not reasonable, give it a chance and then see.And thank you so damn much for trying this book. I really appreciate it.

Maia Mitchell as Caroline Winston. Charlie XCX : Break the rules( Thought this would fit what just went down and no, Caroline is not a rule breaker, or at least not in my mind.
