Mr Popular and me

Bad luck day

It was Tuesday morning. I hated Tuesdays a lot because I had my worst subject ever on that day.
Mathematics. I checked my time and realized it was almost time for lessons at school. I was late.

I heard a loud knock on my door followed by my mother's voice saying. " Elena! get up or else you will be very late for school." " I am up mum!" I responded. I rushed to the bathroom and bathed, I came out and wore a skinny jeans and a tee shirt, I put on my sandals, grabbed my bag and rushed downstairs. I grabbed an apple from the fridge. I greeted my mum, kissed her forehead and rushed out of the door. "Good luck, honey" I head her call from behind. I really needed luck because I had a feeling that something bad was going to happen today. When I got to the bus station, the first bus had left. Just great now I had to wait for another ten minutes. I was going to be in deep trouble today. Waiting for ten minutes was like eternity. After ten months minutes, the bus approached. I quickly got in and a few seconds later, it took off. When I got to school, classes had already started. I was dead.

My first class was History. I entered the class and I shook when I heard the History teacher who was a male ask " Ms Anderson, why are you late?" " l- I - I over slept " It finally came out. As if I was a clown entertaining them, they all started to laugh at me. The was nothing funny about this. " Ms Anderson, report to the Principal's office now." said the History teacher. I went the Principal's office and I saw that she was busy reading something. "I suppose you were late or you did something you weren't suppose to do because that is why people come to the Principal's office." she said when she looked up at me

"Which one of the two did you do?" she asked. Mrs Daniels, please I was late." I replied. "You were late on your second day of school?" she asked as if it was unbelievable.

" I am sorry Ms Anderson but you would have to face detention." I gasped when she ended her sentence.
I hated detention so much. Elena! who in the world likes detention unless he or she is crazy. Oh I was so doomed. I just hoped I could catch the bus in time or else I would be  in hot soup. "Ms Anderson, you can attend classes now but don't forget that you have detention after classes." she told me. "Yes, Mrs Daniels." I replied. I headed to history class. I checked the time and I realized that History class would be over in twenty minutes. I entered the classroom and the History teacher told me to sit. I wanted to sleep badly. The History class was very boring. The teacher who was called Mr McCall was explaining the History of Abraham Lincoln. Soon, the bell rung for change of subject. "Go and search for more facts about Abraham Lincoln." Mr McCall told us finally concluding the lesson. The next class on my schedule was PE(Physical Education). As I entered the class, I met Claire. "Hey Elena" she hollered and hugged me. I leaned into the hug and rubbed her back. When we pulled apart she started blabbering about her previous class and I told her how boring mine was. We kept chatting and laughing about funny stuff. In the process of chatting, I moved by feet to stand in front of Claire but failed when my foot collided with someone's leg. I landed on the floor with a loud a thud. The whole class erupted into laughter. I looked up to see Jayden staring and laughing at me. Oh I loathed this boy with everything in me. I wanted to slap him but I was too ashamed. Claire helped me up giving me a sad smile. Jayden did that on purpose. Jayden has asked for it this time. From now on, we will play the same game. That is how the PE class started for me. With disgrace.

We started with stretching our arms

and we ended  with push-ups. When it was over, we took turns in showering. It felt good having a shower. I felt fresh free from sweat and bad odour . It was lunch time. I went to the cafeteria with Claire. This time I ordered burger and chips and Claire ordered Spaghetti. As we ate, we discussed about my incident. "Jayden did it on purpose" I said. "It's obvious he did it on purpose, that guy really hates you." said Claire. "Well, the feeling is mutual." I replied. " That guy has really asked for it. If he wants to play dirty, then he has found the best partner." I said again. " Okay but you have to be careful, Elena." Claire warned. " I will, don't worry." I assured her. She barely knew me but she cared for me. That's so sweet. As if she read my thoughts she said " I know that you are thinking that I barely know you and yet I care but I have a few friends and out of the few I have grown to like you more. " "Thanks and I have grown to like you too." I told her. Our conversation was cut short when we heard Jayden quarreling with Michael. The quarreling soon turn into them exchanging heated blows. It was a horrible scene I could see large bruises forming at Jayden's jaw and as for Michael his bottom lip had a  deep cut. Before it could get worse, one of the boys from the group separated them. As for the reason why they were fighting, I never knew.
Lunch was over in thirty minutes. I kissed Claire on the cheek and waved her. I wished I had a class with her. The last class of the of the day was Arts. I entered the class and sat at the seat in front of Amber, the girl I sat by yesterday. She turned and offered me a smile saying hi. I also offered her a smile and said hi. Just then Jayden entered the class. The red haired girl he was kissing yesterday called him saying "Jayden, there is an empty seat beside me." "I don't want to sit by you, Melanie." Jayden shot back rudely. This boy was really something else. All of a sudden, he started heading towards the empty seat beside me. Oh God no! please don't let him come and sit beside me. He stopped at my place and winked at me occupying the seat beside me. Oh noo! "Hi " he said to me. "What?" I answered in a harsh tone. " Who's got your panties panties in a twist?" he asked trying to annoy me. I just ignored and paid attention to the Mrs Johnson, the Arts teacher. I think he didn't get the hint that I didn't want to talk to him because  he kept talking to me. "Would you shut up! I want to listen to the teacher not you!" I rudely interrupted. Now everyone was looking at us now. Damn him. "What's happening over there, Elena and Jayden?" came Mrs Johnson's voice. " Nothing Mrs Johnson just a fly worrying me." I answered. That was a very strange answer because there was no fly but what could I say? Mrs Johnson went back to teaching and I shot Jayden a cold stare before taking my attention to Mrs Johnson. He kept annoying me during the whole lesson. When the bell rung, relief filled me. I quickly got up and grabbed my bag rushing down the hallway to detention class. I heard Jayden's laughter from behind me. I entered. detention class, sat and put my head on the table. Detention was going to last for an hour. I don't know how many minutes or seconds I laid my head on the table but someone's hand tapped my back. I looked up and saw Jayden. Oh God! why are you punishing me today. This boy again! You have gotta be kidding me. " I meet you again, Elena." he said huskily with a smirk playing at his lips.

" What do you want again?" I said "Haven't you had enough of torturing me today?" I continued. "Calm down I just want to chat with you."he said probably teasing me. " "Well, I don't want to!" I said. "By the way why are you here?" he asked. "I could ask you the say same question." I shot back. " I had a fight with Michael. That's why I am here." he said. " I am also here because I was  late coming to school. " I told him. He nodded at me. " Why did you fight with Michael? I asked. "It's none of you business!" he yelled at me making me flinch. He went back to his seat. Why does he come to talk to me if he thinks I am annoying. This boy is really stupid. Jayden joined his friends in making fun of me the whole time. I couldn't  look at them because I was embarrassed. I put my head on the table and slept. I didn't here the bell ring signalling that detention was over. Jayden woke me up by using a book to hit my head. " What was that for!" I hissed. " At least I succeeded in waking you up." he said and with that he walked off. What was this boy's problem. He was really pissing me off.  I made a run for the parking lot trying to catch a ride from Claire and then I remembered that I didn't inform her that I had detention so she probably left when she did not see me. By this time the bus had taken off. I had no option but to walk.

On my way home it started drizzling. Just great! Just what I needed to end this terrible day, to get soaked in the rain. The drops of rain becoming heavy hit my face. I heard the sound of the horn of a car beside me. " Need a ride?" Jayden asked. "No thank you." I replied not lowering my pride. " Well, your choice." he said and with that he sped off wetting me with muddy water in the process. I was beyond furious now. My feelings couldn't be expressed with words.

I got to the house soaked in rain and was smelling. I opened the door and saw my mum with her mouth wide open. "oh honey, Oh my goodness." she said bringing me a towel to dry myself. She helped me take my clothes off and she dried them for me. She heated water for me and I bathed with it. I thanked her and went to bed. " I'll call you when dinner is ready ." I heard her say.  "Okay, mum" I replied. I entered my room and slept on the bed exhaling all the anger I had inside of me. Some minutes after, I received a message from Claire.
From : Claire
To : Elena
I didn't see you at the parking lot when school was over.

From: Elena
To: Claire
Sorry , I forgot to tell you that I had detention because I was late for school.

ding ding! and another message appeared.

From: Claire
To: Elena
oh ok don't worry about it.

With that, my phone rung. It was Claire. We chatted. She told me about her day and I told her about my disastrous day. She felt very sorry for me. After chatting for about an hour, we ended the call. I went downstairs to have my dinner. During the dinner, I told my mum about my day too. She already hated Jayden before I concluded my story. So that was how my day went.
I guess the feelings I had in the morning was right.
Tuesdays were the worst days ever!!

Do you already hate Jayden? Well, I do.
