"Okay Mr. Anderson, your classroom is this one right here, room 18, now you're teaching sophomores so I'm warning you of them".
"I think I can handle a bunch of 15 year olds".
"Okay, you're teaching math and you have homeroom, lunch is at 12, I'll see you when I see you".
Then she walked away. I sat at my desk and played games on my phone while I wait for my homeroom to come in. Once everyone was in and the bell for first block ranged I put away my phone and went to the chalkboard.
"Hey everyone, my name is Mr. Anderson and I'm your new math teacher".
Someone coughed.
"Tough crowd, okay, who can tell me what 8 times y to the 5th power minus 2 divided by x to the 5th power minus 2 equals".
Nobody raised their hand.
"You in the back, what's your name".
"Hunter".
"Hunter, what's the answer".
Hunter's POV
I drew in my notebook. I looked up to see the new teacher staring at me.
"You in the back, what's your name".
"Hunter".
"Hunter what's the answer".
I saw the problem on the board. Got it!
"2 times y divided by x".
"That's...correct".
I slumped into my chair.
"Hoods aren't allowed in school".
I took off my hood. Then someone threw a ball of paper at me. I opened it and it said teacher's pet.
Max's POV
The bell ranged. Finally. But I have a next class in 10 minutes. Teaching is hard.
Hunter's POV
I gathered my things and I felt someone tap on my shoulder.
"Hey Hunter", Sam said.
"Hey".
"What were you drawing over here".
"Nothing".
Then out of nowhere, Sam grabs my notebook and starts looking through it.
"Give it back".
Why is it that the teachers don't care about them bullying but when I do something wrong I have detention.
"Wow Hunter, you have some nice drawings in here".
"Thanks now give it".
"I'm not done".
Then he started ripping up my drawings! That's when I lost it and punched him in the eye.
"Hunter principal's office".
"But he-"!
"Go".
I grabbed my stuff and ripped notebook. "Someone's in trouble", Sam said laughing.
I pushed him to the side and went to the principal's office. Life is so not fair.
After detention
"Detention over, now get out of my classroom".
I got my stuff and headed to the back of the school. I set down my stuff and faced the wall. I punched it gently. Then I started punching it aggressively.
Max's POV
"Nooo, you're the cute one, I'll see you at home babe".
I hung up and grabbed my jacket. I watched the other teachers leave. I decided to park in the back of the school because then I would have to wait for someone to back up and drive away, and then they'll be another one.
When I got to the back of the school I saw Hunter punching the wall. Over and over again hard enough that his knuckles were bleeding. I ran towards him and pulled him away from the wall. He kept fighting me but I was too strong for him.
"Hunter stop"!

I took a deep breath and pushed him off me.
"Before you ask I'm fine".
I was about to walk away when he grabbed my arm.
"The hell you are, you're punching a wall until your knuckles are bloody".
I yanked my arm from his grip.
"I said I'm fine, it just something I like to do to make me happy see".
I gave him a fake smile. Then I hopped on my bike and rode to my house.
Max's POV
I can tell that he's lying. Something's up with that kid.
