Clara is like the best gossip machine my school has. She, Never!, stops talking. Sitting here in the principal's office , I still could hear her annoying voice squealing about the new boy. I couldn't hear the entire conversation though, only bits and pieces .

'He was bailed...No,no,no...Dad maybe...He's a minister...Dealing drugs...'

My Eva's dropping skills was put a stop , when Mr Pelham, our principal loudly tapped on his desk. 'Can you hear me Miss Jason ' he asked with a smile that looks like it could tear open his face .

'Sorry sir' I said .

'Hmmm... where was I - Yes!' he said , finally tressing his finger over a paper. 'There been a complain'.
I rolled my eyes, that much was obvious .
'Hmmm... these records said ,you haven't been present even to one of your calculus class last weak, and , that you had an excuse letter only for the first two days. plus not to mention you grades have fallen from C to F . There was a pause before he continued, Like he was thinking of the perfect punishment.

'Well! that's okay, I'm not going to punish you, but to make sure you catch up all that you missed and to rise your grades you need to double the number of the calculus class you attend in a weak.

''WHAT!'' I screamed , this is a punishment.

Pelham simply continued, 'No need to scream miss Jason . Its only until you improve. And don't worry you wont miss out any other lesson as your extra classes will be scheduled during the junior class lessons.
I felt my heart sinking .

'You should start from today , no more wasting time.

I didn't look around as I entered , the class itself was old and familiar but I knew nobody around. I scanned the room fro an empty seat when the calculus teacher called me.

'Tessie , go sit next to him' she said pointing towards the window . ' He's a senior too, so I'll be teaching both of you together'.

Wow , was all I could think . Another senior , how embarrassing. Detention would have been far better. Mad at the principal I banged my book hard on the table. Sure , that it got the attention of my 'study buddy'. Once he turned, both our faces squinted with realization. Colour raising on my checks ,I faked a smile and slowly sat down.

*Ring* *Ring* *Ring*
I threw my hands up in frustration . Is this how I get treated , after a horrible , terrible day at school, I come home ,only to find that I have been LOCKED OUT!.

The keys jingling at the other end was comfort, finally someone decides to open the door I thought. who ever it was better be prepared to hear a piece of my mind.
Once the door opened, my heart froze. I blinked several times , before accepting what I was seeing.

'Tessie' he said , his voice was soft just as I remembered , and it did have a touch of concerness, suddenly he pulled me into a tight hug.
Emotions fill my chest . How dare he , After all he has done . Whats he ding here now.

'Move aside' I yelled stoving him back in anger,and ran to my room

I blew my nose one last time before dialling Eleanore's number. I don't want her to know I've cried.

'Hey !Tess , what up' came in L's cheerful voice.

'Noth-nothing' I stammered.

I might have sounded fragile, for the next thing she asked was 'Anything wrong ,Tessie'
then suddenly tears ran down my checks, and the lump in my throat got bigger.

'Tessie ' she said softly 'whats wrong'

'Elenore' I cried, 'My dad's back'.
