The talk of the school

Chapter 2: First Day

{Francesca's POV}

I wake up the next day and check my phone. 7:30?! CRAP I jump up and start getting ready but then notice a text from Brandon.

Him: I was wondering if I could take you out on a date tonight? :)

Me: Yes I would love to!

Him: Okay I will pick you up right after school

Me: Can't wait!

I check the clock again. 7:55 Great congrats Francesca now you are going to be late on your first day of school.

I run as fast as I can to get to my first class, History. And the worst part is that the teacher, Mr. Hill, already hates me. I open the door hoping just to slip in without being noticed. My plan seems to have worked until...

"YOURE LATE MISS MARTINEZ" Mr. Hill barks at me when I enter the classroom.

I quickly reply "Yes I'm so sorry I over slept an-"

"A reason why you are late is not needed. Detention after school today. Now go take a seat." He rips out a detention slip and hands it to me.

"Yes sir" I mumble and search for a seat. I notice a seat next to Nicole and a seat next to Brandon. Brandon is now looking like he's pissed at me so yep I better sit down next to Nicole. I take my seat and class begins.

"Okay class we are going to kick this semester off with a project. You will have a partner for this project." Mr. Hill begins

Everyone starts to whisper and ask others if they want to be partners.

"Now now class settle down! I will give you the partner! Okay front and third row turn around and the person behind you will be your partner."

I turn around and see Parker sitting behind me. Oh. My. God. No no no no no no!!

"Well hey Francesca!" Parker says

I roll my eyes "Hi Parker..."

"It looks like we will be partners!" He says cheerfully

"Sadly yes" I say glaring at him.

{~After History Class~}

I grab my books and look for Brandon. Maybe I can figure out why he's mad at me. I walk over to his locker where he is getting out his books.

"Hey!" I say while smiling.

He glances at me then at his locker with no expression "Hey."

I sigh "Okay Brandon what's wrong why are you mad?"

"You got detention Francesca that's what's wrong!" He replies angrily.

I look at him confused. "I don't understand why you care if I got detention you never have before this."

He looks down at the ground. "Our date... You got detention and now we can't have it." He slams his locker shut and walks passed me.

Wow is all I can say to that. It's just a date he needs to calm down! How strange he's never been this mad about me canceling...

I brush the fight off and walk to my next class which is chemistry yay! The teacher, Mrs. Ramirez loves me!

I walk in and this time sit next to Brandon. I don't say anything knowing that he won't reply.

"Okay class since it is the first day I will start things off with a fun experiment with your lab partner!" Mrs. Ramirez says. Everyone starts cheering.
