Well, the rest of the day ran off pretty quickly. Normally, I would be happy about that but on this particular day (which I might remind you was the first day of school) I was extremely pissed.
Then it occurred to me, what if I've been having all this trouble because I was gonna seriously maim the son of the devil this morning.
I'm not delusional. It is a possibility.
"I'm dead aren't I?" I questioned the girl next to me who for some strange reason was laughing hysterically at my current predicament. Abi was far from being serious about this situation actually. But then again, I'm the one getting the detention. Not her.
"What can I say Lee? You kinda call down the rain of 'Mrs. Push My button anytime'." She managed to answer my question before barking out new another laugh.
I rolled my eyes.
"I seriously hate you Abigail". I pushed her away and leaned my head on my locker.
What's gonna happen now? How the hell did I manage to be here right now waiting for the bell to go so that I can go sit down in an empty classroom with the most boring teacher who has a runny nose problem and looks like an overdressed stick? I seriously need to tone down my presence.
But it kinda was really funny.
I knew very well what happened in detention. Maybe a little too well. I wouldn’t say I was a trouble maker. I just, get caught in situations that make me look bad. I really do have a heart of gold.
Somewhere deep deep deeeeeep inside.
"Tragic. Such a shame that such a beauty will have to endure the torture of detention." Right on time. It was pretty obvious that Vie had just come from Literature class. The last class of the day which meant it was time to suck it up and go face the horror.
"Tell me about it." raising myself of miserably, I said my goodbye to my two bat shit crazy best friends and started wallowing down the dreadful hallway.
Almost as if on cue with the moment I realized there is no escaping this the dismissal bell rang. It seemed like I was going in the wrong direction the exit was left and I was going right. But, it wasn’t the wrong direction though, it was my fate. My dreadful fate.
Could this day get any worse?
When I got to the door of the detention room, I was already thinking of possible ways to get out of this, but they all seemed kinda,
Well,
Kinda futile.
Maybe I could tell them my mom came to pick me up early. Nah, everyone knows I got my own ride. Or maybe I could tell them I think I came down with rabies or some other illness that has immediate side effects. Nah. Cause then I'd still have to serve this stupid detention when I "recover" and I need a dog bite to actually have rabies.
"Don’t plan on going inside Barbie?"
My neck quickly snapped around (which kinda hurt).
"Ouch! What the hell!" yup, it seriously hurt.
Then, to my not so much of a surprise, it was my jinx with hazel eyes. It was as if fate, combined with my new nemesis, (Karma) had teamed up to prove to me that this day could actually get worse.
"Whoa there Barbie, Don’t wanna get whiplash now." I glared at him with danger printed in my eyes.
Was this dude for real???
Holding on to my neck that was still in a little pain, I dug deep for my sense of sarcasm to answer this little seaweed.
"Oh look, It actually Speaks. How
amusing!". I rolled my eyes and whipped my hair which meant whipping my neck and that my friend, that, bloody hurt. Cliché school girl move but I did it mainly because 1. I rolled my eyes in situations like these a lot and 2. I knew my ponytail would slap him right across his face.
*Evil Grin* I love the little perks of being a girl.
Marching over to the closest seat I could find, I flung my canvas bag on the table before me and buried my head into it (the cut throat neck pain now gone of course). I don’t know but I was really beginning to believe in the possibility that’s this guy was a jinx.
Yea, he probably was. All evidence supports my theory. Every time I see the guy something bad happens to me. Isn't that enough proof?
Then again, it could just be another spawn of the devil here for Eaton but just felt like making my life hell before completing his mission.
Soooooo many possibilities.
Although I was trying to escape this realm and go into another of sweet dreams and happy thoughts, I simply couldn’t. Do you want to know why? Just take a Guess. My jinx seemed to be at it again shuffling restlessly in his seat. And his seat was directly behind me.
"Hey, do you mind??" I asked calmly. Maybe he understands the language of the "nice".
"Trying to drown in my thoughts he…" my voice trailed off when I heard the sound of gentleman shoes tapping the paved floors.
Mr. William had arrived.
"Isn't it bad enough that you got detention on the first day of school? You two are in here chitchatting away."
Hello!!! HE is the problem here! Not me!! Seriously! What the hell is wrong with everybody today.
I can bet Mr. Jerkinpuss behind me must be laughing
Anyways, it was pointless to say anything since my jinx was here. I just knew with absolute certainty that if I say anything, more trouble will come my way twirling happily like a prima ballerina. It was just best to shut the hell up.
After Mr. Detention JuJu sat down a few minutes into the detention, he started becoming uneasy. Maybe a stomach ache or something. It was quite entertaining actually to see him twist his body and make all kinds of distorted faces without knowing it until he finally excused himself to "take a leak" (like I would believe that!).
I was left alone with this jinx.
Again.
I was bored. Boredom is never a good thing and there was no one else here expect Jerkinstin and I. Not one other soul. No one would be so stupid to get themselves into trouble on the first day.
"Hey, umm Tori could you turn around for a second? Uh.. Please?" he spoke again. Seriously, I knew primates learned fast but so many words in one day? This primate desires a banana. Or maybe just a half.
I shot my head around eyes filled with curiosity and a hint of indignation. What could he possibly want from me? And, How did he know my name?
Devil's spawn Lee, Devil's spawn.
"What?" I gave him a tight toothy smile.
He seemed a little jittery. Scratching away at his neck like he was attacked by an army of mosquitoes. Or maybe he was… well….Nervous?
"I'm.. Uh.. This morning.. What happened.. In the.. The hall way, it wasn’t supposed to. I was running and I didn’t see you…so uh… you know?"
"Are you apologizing dude?" An evil smirk "mysteriously" found it way on my lips.
"Oh no.. I just.. Uh.. Yea.. I guess so. I'm new and I don’t want no bad blood." he looked up at me smirking for some reason with a look that screamed "have pity on me".
Sweet. He actually thought I was gonna fall for it. What a sucker.
"Oh. Well I don’t forgive you." I deadpanned.
"What?!" He seemed shocked that I wasn’t at all moved by his cute boy façade.
"You heard me, go play the have pity on me card elsewhere. Charm doesn’t work here but please, feel free to try again."
"You saying I'm charming Barbie?" see, back the old Jerkinstein he was few mins ago.
"Ok, so let's get even. I don’t like owing debts." he said but it he sounded like one of those old baled headed guys in business meetings.
I thought about it for awhile, like, really thought about it. There was something he could do for me. Many things actually. He a)return to his side of the swamp b)embarrass himself in front of a crowd or c)GET. ME. OUT. OF. HERE!
The latter seemed like the best option.
"Ok Mr. Jerkinstein, There is something that I want. Well two things actually. Screw that, I want the world but right now, I'll tell you what I want the most. a) stop calling me barbie b)get me out of here without causing trouble. If you can do that, then we can call a truce. Deal?"
Hold on to that sass bruh!
"You see, I'm having a slight problem with that. I can do b) but not a). That’s my final offer. Take it or leave it, Barbie."
Although I hated the name Barbie, I didn’t really care what the hell he called me. But, I desperately needed to get out of here.
"Deal."
"Got pen and paper?" he asked with a sly grin.
I handed it to him and he scribbled something on it. This time, curiosity hadnt gotten the best of me because I didn’t pry. I was a little gittery cause I will be leaving this place!
"C'mon Barbz" he walked ahead of me, dropped the paper on the teacher's desk and walked out. And stupidly, I followed.
The things we do for freedom.
So, I had a free afternoon. Thanks to Jerknstein but somehow, I couldn’t help but think that I this would be the start of a not so spectacular senior year.
I think I can settle for a bee on the wall though. Right?
