Chapter 1

Someone pushed me from the back. I almost fell and turned around, disgusted.

“Hey, what are you doing out here?” It was Alex, my classmate.

“Just checking out guys,” I said sarcastically. I mean what would one do in a queue waiting for the bus to arrive?

“Umm.. What’s wrong with your taste!” Alex said.

“Shut up, I meant it sarcastically, asshole.” I said hitting him on his back.

“By the way, what are you doing out here?” I asked reluctantly (you know just for decency).

“Ummm….Maybe to give you a lift?” He winked.

‘What a flirt!’ I thought.

“Oh thanks, my car needed servicing so..umm…” I trailed off. How could I decline this offer, ha?

We headed towards his Lamborghini. Boy, his parents were rich and he could get anything anytime.

“So, you know, it can be a gossip for the girls, Alice Martin waiting at the bus stop for a bus, huh?” He said chuckling.

“You get lost! You are not going to do anything that sort, would you?”

“You never know,” He said lifting his shoulders, giving that idiotic smile of his.

“What a jerk,” I said frowning, punching him hard on the stomach.

“Ow! That hurts!,” He said, opening the door for me.

I sat, taking out my cell phone from my pocket. Great! A new text from Maria!

‘Come fast, got new gossip!’ It said.

Jeez. How wasn’t she not sick and tired of talking about who dated whom in school?

The journey to school was quiet. I hated Alex’s rash driving but for the time being, I had to compromise.

I could see Maria waiting for me at door when we arrived. How can she be sooo excited about something?

She ran towards me, wearing those three inch heels. She was a typical high school girl: gossip, shopping and boys. She was about to tell me something when her eyes fell on Alex.

“What the hell?!? You came to school with this weirdo? Have you lost it? Are you-”, she kept on before I cut her off.

“I..I just can’t help it. My car needed servicing and my bro would never get me out here!”

Maria was now looking at Alex, who was chatting away with his friends.

“Can we go in or you still want to stare at those wannabes?” I asked, still annoyed.

“Sure, lets go.”

On my way inside, I saw my English teacher. Did I have to see him? I tried to hide my face and escape as he could start blabbering any moment about the prank that I played on him last week.

When he went to the washroom, I mixed some sort of a sneezing powder in his lunch. Such pranks were usually played by me on every teacher. Every teacher, of course had to scold me but they cannot take any action against me. I am the only all rounder in my school and I represented my school in almost every activity they took part in. If the kick me out, the millstone would be on their necks :P

“Hey dude, up for a game of basketball after school today?” Some random guy asked me

“Sure, at around 3?”

He got delighted and sped towards his friends to share the news, giving me the thumbs up. We reached our class and everyone was sitting in groups. I stood up on the teacher’s chair.

“Hey people, wotsupp?” I shouted so that everyone could hear.

They twined around to look at me, and smiled back. They were cold; after all it was winter in California.

“Hey Alice, who’s your donkey today?” Selena asked, somewhere from the back.

“That would be the math teacher!” I said out loud, tapping my index finger to my chin thrice before speaking.

“O boy, I cannot wait for the math period to come” Said Drake.

“So the plan is---” I started off when the Principal interrupted us.

Everyone got up and I quickly climbed down the chair (or rather fell down the chair). I rushed towards the nearest vacant seat.

He gestured us to sit down.

“Good morning, Alice”

“Good morning, Sir.” I reply back.

 “So,” he sat down on the chair, “Which prank are we expecting from you today?” He asked, wearing a wicked expression.

“Sir, umm…actually…umm…” I hesitated.

“We were going to play it on Oliver.” Alex said.

“Oh really, then I don’t think so I should be bothered about that!” The Principal smiled.

He knows that we were all lying. We better be careful or he might find out what we would be doing.

Oh shit! I was dead now. He was not a good man all. He might be all good and kind and sweet, but he was a wolf in the sheep's clothing. He was a huge pain in our lives. Now, I had to stay back for detention or at the most, I could be suspended for a day. Well, I was used to it. WAIT A MINUTE!

That would only happen when I would prank a teacher.

“Listen up everybody” I scream, clapping my hands together. “Prank today is cancelled, I mean not cancelled but some other time. Please understand.”

Everybody started shouting: “What the hell”  or  “This isn’t done”  or “Nooooo”.

WELL, I.JUST.CANNOT.HELP.IT.
