Clean Break

Chapter 3 - Kim

Kim was standing by her locker when I arrived. She was leaning against it, twirling her hair round her pointy fingers, talking to Liam. Liam was the best football player in the school, and his popularity status was higher then most.

As I got closer I seen Kim glare at me and a smirk spread across her face. She whispered to Liam before she flicked her long black hair away from her face. I pretended to ignore her and concentrated on getting to first period. Suddenly she stuck her long leg out, I fell to the floor and my books went flying through the air. I heard the roar of the hallway and looking up everyone was laughing. Laughing at me. I felt my face flush as Kim bent down.

"Now Now Lara... you need to watch where your going. We wouldn't want you getting hurt now... would we". Taking her bag back from Liam she chuckled and walked off, leaving me lying on the floor. I looked up to see Liam. He gently took my hand and helped me to my feet. Everyone had gone to their next lesson, everyone but Liam.

"I'm sorry about her" he said, scratching his head. "She can be... well you know". He bent down and began to pick up all my biology books.

"It's okay, i can do that" leaning down I began quickly throwing books into my bag, praying this awkward moment would end. As we both stood up he stared at me, and began to smile. I'm not sure if he was thinking about what had just happened or just trying to be nice. But I couldn't be sure.

"Well thanks for helping me, but i really must go now!" I snatched my books from him and began to walk off.

"No problem" I heard him say as Iwalked down the now empty hallways. As I walked to my biology class I couldn't stop thinking about how good looking he was. I'd never really seen it in him before. He's always been just another popular football player but I knew he would never be interested in someone like me... when he had someone like Kim.

What felt like forever was actually only 5 minutes until i finally reached my Biology room. I knew Miss Ball would have ago at me anyway. I took a deep breath, fixed my hair and walked in. Every single eye in the room was on me.

"And what time do you call this Jones?" she often called me by my second name to try to seem intimidating and believe me it worked.

"Ermm i'm sorry" i managed to whisper, looking down at the floor.

"Well sorry's not good enough is it?!" She roared "Because YOU are now wasting pupils time! The pupils who actually WANT an education and WANT to be here!" She slammed her text book down on the table. "That will be a detenion tonight, NO discussion!"

"Yes miss". Keeping my head low I walked to my seat. I heard Kim laughing with her friends sitting on their table at the back. Why did they hate me? I'd never done anything to them. I suddenly remembered mom's doctors appointment tonight! I'd never make it home in time with the detention, and there was no way of getting out of it. I had no idea what to do, but I was so scared of what would happen to me.
