Chapter 1: Oh $@#%

It began like any other day. I got to school early in hopes of averting Megan Snow, my bully if you will. I parked in my usual parking spot and got out. I look both ways before entering the school. I am greeted by Martin, our schools janitor. He smiles at me and continues waxing the floor. I walk straight to the front office. I loved it in here. I got along with most of the staff so that's like bonus points.

"Maddie, baby! Did you see the awards last night?" I ask Madison, the librarian.

"Yes, did you see what Cher wore? Oi, it gave me nightmares!" she shivers. I laugh and look over to my right and see the secretary, Bob. "OH MY GOD! IT'S BOB! SPELL IT BACKWARDS, SPELL IT FORWARDS, IT SPELLS THE SAME THING FOLKS!" I inhale sharply and quickly say, "Hi, Bob." He smiles at me, the wrinkles on his face begin to lessen.

"Hey there, Miss Harley Quinn. Looking for the joker, I presume?" Bob laughs at his joke and I roll my eyes. "Ha ha, very funny. Now what have I told you? You're a hundred, go home." I soho him and he chuckles. "If I leave here, who's gonna say the announcements or file all the paperwork?"

"Bob," I pay his back. "You don't do any of that."

"Well, I could if I wanted to." he pouts. I laugh softly at him and walk to Jacqueline, the principals door.

"Who is it?" Her high pitched voice asks. "The Joker." I say to her and she opens the door, smiling. "I knew it was you. I smelled you when you walked in the building." I give her a confused look and just ignore it. "So how's everything?" she asks. I shrug my shoulders. "Okay. I have to help Nick practice when I get home. Mom's writing a new book and dad is stuck on bab duty. All in all, life is great!" I smile widely at her. She glances at me and rolls her eyes. "I meant with that boy you were telling me about last week? Have you talked to him?" My jaw nearly hits the floor. After all the things I've told her, she manages to remember this one thing. Oi how I don't like this woman sometimes. I lie and say, "I don't know what you're talking about." she gives me a penetrating stare and I look down. Dammit!

"No, not yet, but I will. I promise." I tell her. She nods approvingly and sighs. "Welp dear, the bell's about to ring so you may want to get to class." she stands up and begins pushing me out the door. I say bye to Maddie and Bob before I walk out the door. As I turn around, I collide into a rock hard chest and fall to the floor.

"Dude, you nearly broke my fu-" I cut myself off when I noticed who the body belonged to. It was him. The boy. The same boy Jacqueline and I just finished talking about. The same boy who I had Chemistry with. The class I mean. It was Ethan Fraizer. Oh shit. I bumped into Ethan Frazier. Oh shit. He's offering his hand to me. Oh shit. I almost took it, but something stopped me. More like someone actually. As I reached up to take his hand, I meet the gaze of Megan Snow. Aka, captain of the cheerleading team. Aka, teachers pet of the whole school. Aka, swim team manager. Aka, my bully. Aka, Ethan's girlfriend. She scowls at me, her eyes filled with hatred. I already knew what my Destiny was. I also knew that in this moment, I had fucked up. Oh shit
