Goldilocks

Turning my life into a baseball game

Miranda 's POV

   Laughter echoed all around me and I smiled, satisfied. I was sitting in the cafetaria with all my friends and everyone had a copy of the the 'McKenzie Weekly' in their hands.The headlines read 'The McKenzie Wolves storm their way into another victory while Captain Woods trails behind- Miranda Gold'. I wrote the sports column for the weekly and my latest article was being read by everyone. And looking at the way Cole just stormed into the cafetaria it looked like my attack on him was succesful. 

Cole Woods was the captain of the baseball team and saying that we both were not on friendly terms would be a huge understatement. Saying that we were constantly at each other's throat  would be nearer to the truth.Last week's game had been amazing and the team played brilliantly , even Cole, just that he fumbled a bit and I obviously emphasized and exaggerated it in my article to make him look like a fool.Right now he was standing at the entrance of the cafetaria , the Weekly balled up in his fist , and his face scrunched up in anger.His eyes scanned the crowd till they met mine and were suddenly ablaze with fury.He marched up to me ,picked up a glass of smoothie , dumped it on my head and said, "Get your facts right ,bitch. I did  not trailbehind I lead them to that victory."That fucking asshole , how dare he do this! I picked up a bowl of spaghetti and chucked it at him. Oh my god his face was priceless and I couldn't hepl but start laughing.

"You fucking spoilt my t-shirt! ," he spat out.

"Well the saghetti looks better on the t-shirt than you did ," I fired back and suddenly all hell broke loose.Food was flying all over the cafetaria as the others joined the food fight.War zone was on and I was attacking with full force.I was rubbing mustard sauce on his face while he was screaming something about his 'precious' hair. Right  Gollum. He took a pizza and smacked it on my head with so much of force that we were suddenly airbourne and I saw everything in slow motion, just like the movies. there was chaos everywhere, food along with some clothes were flying in the air and in the middle stood Principal Kingsley.His voice rang out in the mess and everything grew deadly silent . And then obviously. both of us landed on the ground , our bodies emitting loud groans of protest and catching everyone's attention. Principal Kingsley glared at us and said ,"Both of you in my office, now."

"Principal Kingsley don't you think that we should change into cleaner clothes first?I mean we would hate it if our dirty, dripping clothes spoilt your office,"I spoke up with as much innocence I could muster.Cole, thankfully, quickly caught on and added, "I agree. Didn't you just get new leather seats?We wouldn't really want any of these sauces on them."

Principal Kingsley looked disapprovingly at us and said,"The last time both of you used this excuse you never returned to my office after changing.You cannot fool me twice with the same excuse.My office , NOW."

 We trudged slowly behind him, occasionally glaring at each other. In the office Principal Kingsley sat down on his chair , red faced with a vein poping out on his forehead.He was an old man of about 50 with greying hair, a round face and his permanent ugly grey shoes. He was pretty much awesome (apart from the shoes) but when he got serious you couldn't do anything other than comply with his wish.

"Ms. Gold and Mr. Woods it must be the umpteenth time you both are standing in my office. Both of you are excellent students but for some strange reason act uncivilized around each other.I don't care what you both have against each other but I will not tolerate this kind of behaviour any more.Let's add baseball rules in this so that it is easier for both of you to understand. There are going to be three strikes, after which both of you are going to be punished severely, and when i say severely I mean uch a horrible punishment that both of you will wish that you never crossed me.McKenzie  High is one of the best residential school's in the country and you should learn how to act like students who belong here . And also remember this food fight wascounted as strike one.Do you have anything to say for yourselves?'

"Actually, yes Sir. To be specific it is our 28th time in your office."

And with that we were out of his office with a bang.

"Bitch"

"Asshole"

And we walked back to our rooms.I shared mine with Anna Wang, the editor of the weekly and Rebecca both of whom were my best friends.they were in a deep conversation when I entered the room.Looking at my fuming face they stopped discussing whatever they were and asked me what happened.I sat down and recounted the whole conversation in Kingsley's office and screamed out "I hate him!"

"Yeah! What an asshole!"exclaimed Rebecca.

"Which one are you guys talking about?" asked Anna, confused.

"Cole"

"Kingsley"

Both of us said at the same time(I obviously said the former) .We looked at each other and started laughing while Anna continued being confused.Then she obviously asked the smartest question.

"So what happens after three strikes?"

I shrugged and said," Wonder if Cole knows?"

Anna said,"Wonder if he is having the same discussion in his room with his hot Brit roommates?"

"Do you mean those twin? Luke and Ben?",asked Rebecca.

Anna nodded enthusiastically and Rebecca started describing all the random details she about them .

"Oh their accents and oh my gog how can someone forget their sexy smirks"

These two will never shut up once they start on this topic.I silently stood up and went in for a bath.

I can't believe that I got into shit with Kingsley once again and all because of that dumbfuck Cole.He really knows how to get on my nerves.Every single thing about him irritates me.Everyone simply looks at his brown hair and lean athletic body and falls in love with him.But I know what he is underneath those stormy blue eyes, I knew what he hid in that cold heart of his and it made me hate him even more.He was cruel and no drooling hormonal friend of mine could convince me otherwise.Hatred aside right now I need to focus on not getting another strike.I am really not eager to find out what Kinsley has in store for us.
