The totally unexpected events that changed my life

Chapter 8

hi :)

Chapter 8

Math and gym flew by quickly and thankfully Razz had gym with me as well. Unfortunately after that we had to split up; Razz was off to art and I had Science. I sighed and made my way down the hall. I no longer needed my map thanks to a quick, but very informative, tour from Razz.

When I arrived at the class it was only half full so I was able to get a seat near the back. This classroom also had two people desks and I grimaced when I realized the purpose was lab partners. I had always had one of my friends as partners but I could tell bad luck was doomed when it came to partners in this school since I didn’t know any one .

I was feeling extremely depressed when in walked Tom and I felt as if my luck was changing. I grinned when he started walking towards me. He stopped at my desk and smiled, “Hey Vanessa. I didn’t think I'd see you until lunch”

I laughed, “yeah”

He gave my desk a pat and nodded “well, talk to you after class. Good luck.” He saluted I watched as he continue down the aisle until he came to the last row and sat beside an equally tattooed guy with a Mohawk.

I snapped my mouth shut and laid my head on my arms, letting out a quiet groan. This was going to be a miserable 50 minutes. I kept my head on the desk and listened to the class slowly fill up. Nobody had sat beside me yet and I was hoping to keep it that way.

The teacher finally arrived and the lesson started. I was lost after the first few minutes and had started counting the cars in the parking lot, completely ignoring the teacher, when I heard the door slam open and looked up to see the guy I had met earlier in the office.

The teacher, Miss Derota, looked over and frowned, “Ryder, I wasn’t aware you were in this class” she said, in slow polite words. Ryder shrugged and jerked his thumb back towards the door.

“Yeah well Tim kept me a bit late”

Miss Derota frowned again and shook her head, “Mr. Paterson called me before class and said you would make it on time.”

He let out a small cough to cover his smile, but I could see the mischief in his eyes. “Yeah well our uh... Meeting ran a bit late.”

The teacher sighed, letting him win and gestured to the seat next to me, “well take a seat then, and try not to interrupt my class again.”

Ryder looked over at me and once he made the connection his lips lifted into a grin and without looking away he saluted the teacher, “yes ma’am” and started towards me.

I sat up straight and out of the corner of my eyes I looked around the classroom, But I quickly realized that I was, in fact, the only person with a free desk beside me.

I groaned quietly as Ryder slid into the seat beside me.

“Fancy meeting you here.” he said with a smirk, “I didn’t catch your name last time we met”

I turned my head and studiously ignored him, looking out the window. I heard him shift and next thing I knew I could feel his breath in my ear, an involuntary shiver ran down my spine . He pressed his fingers lightly to the small of my back and whispered, “no need to be scared, princess”

I whipped around quickly and my fist shot out and connected with his gut. He gave a loud “OOOF” and teetered precariously in his chair, eyes wide. “I am not scared.” I hissed through clenched teeth before tapping my foot against the chair and sending Ryder sprawling onto the floor.

As you can probably guess, the rest of the class was hell. It consisted of me ignoring the stupid boy beside me and him trying to get me to tell him my name and phone number. So not happening. It was the longest 50 minute of my life and I was beyond relieved when the bell rang.

I stood quickly and began shoving everything in my bag. Ryder leaned back in his chair, and watched me he hadn’t even taken out a pencil the entire class. I rolled my eyes and pushed the strap of my bag onto my shoulder, brushing past him.

“Later Princess!” he called but again, I ignored him and marched angrily out of the classroom. What a piece of work!

I was marching down the halls fuming about Ryder when I bumped into someone. We both collided and went flying just like in the movies .And knowing my luck, of course it wasn’t a cute boy who was going to help me pick up my things. It was some bleach blond bimbo in a teeny pink skirt and a practically see-through white tank top. She let out and ear-splitting shriek and the two girls who had been flanking her immediately dropped to their knees, assuring her that her hair wasn’t messed up.

I sighed and stood up, dusting off my butt and grabbed my bag. Thankfully nothing had fallen out. Then, being the amazing person I am, I offered my hand to help up the traumatized Barbie. And in the true ways of a bitch she stared at my hand as if I had just pulled it out of the toilet.

“Who does your nails?” She asked me, disgusted. I raised an eyebrow, and lent close to her face

“who does your face?” Something about her looked familiar but I couldn’t place it. I was it too much of a bad mood to figure it out so I smiled angelically and walked away.

She let out another screech and I could hear as I was walking away her screech in that awfully high pitched voice

“She is such a bitch”

I pushed the cafeteria doors open and stepped in, but not before hearing one final scream from Blondie. Figures there would be a stereotypical queen bitch here. And it sure as hell figures I would become her worst enemy on the first day of school.

As I entered the cafeteria I looked around to see if spot could Razz. I see her and Tom at a table by themselves as I got closer I could see that tom had a poutine and Razz trying to take some and tom swatting her hand away again and again.

“Razzy would you stop please I’m trying to eat “ tom pleaded as I sat down

“Pwease Tom ?” Razz had the best puppy dog face on. Tom groaned here and he gave her his poutine grumbling about how he never got to eat his food. I smiled and pulled out my lunch, maybe this day could be good after all.
