Troubled

Testing

Chapter 2

As I sit in Mr. Hikles' office, I think of what that senior was thinking as he fell to the ground. Probably something like Ow! or maybe I hate her! or maybe nothing at all. "Miss Thompson, you will be suspended if you get into another fight. We have a very low tolerance for violence at this school. Am I clear?" Mr. Hikles barks. "Yup." I say leaving the room. Yeah right! At this rate, I'll be suspended by lunch! As I walk out of the room, I bump into someone. "Watch it!" I exclaim. "Sorry." the boy mumbles.

I walk towards my next class, science. As I walk into the room I see him. The boy I ran into. He ran into you! One part of my brain thought. I walk to my desk and stare at the chalkboard until someone sit's next to me. I look over; It's him. I sit back in my seat and ask "What's your name?". He looks at me with a look that I realize is sheer intelligence. "Dagon. And you?" He responds. "Scout." I say turning back to the front. "Today we will be getting our lab partners and getting to know them." Mr. Dobs explains holding a list. He starts calling out names. "Scout and Dagon" he says last. "Is your name really Scout?" Dagon asks me. "You're new aren't you?" I ask him annoyed. People know not to ask about my name, it changes every year. "Yeah, why?" he asks. "Because nobody asks me things like that." I spit. "Well, I will." he states.

After class, it's lunch. I get my lunch of salad and soup and sit down at a empty table. Luke comes and sits across from me. Dagon comes in next to me. "Who are you?" Luke asks looking from him to me and back. "Dagon." he replied. "Luke, Dagon is another person who isn't afraid of me." I say eating my lunch. Luke nods.

After lunch, I have math and Luke and Dagon have PE. Then we switch. I watch Dagon as he watches Luke. It's interesting how interested Dagon is in watching Luke. "Dagon, where are you from?" I ask. He turns towards me. "Scout, please don't ask. It's sorta like your name." Dagon pleads. I nod because I get it. I know how it feels to not want people to know too much about you.

I walk to my locker and find a piece of paper inside it. It reads: Scout, meet me at the pier at midnight. ~Alec. I wonder why he just didn't ask me. I mean I don't care, I was just wondering. I tuck the paper in my jacket pocket. I grab my math stuff and find my way to the class room.

As I enter the class, I see that we have a sub. I look at Alec, the class' bad boy, and he nods. Time to launch plan Sabotage The Sub. As I sit at my desk, I start singing. The sub looks at me and I keep singing, but louder. That's Alec's cue to start gluing things. He takes the glue and glues the chalk eraser to the board, he glues the chalk to the little dust pan and he puts glue on the teacher's chair. The sub walks over to me and asks me to stop singing. I don't. "Miss, if you don't stop singing, you will be escorted to the principal." he threatens. I look towards Alec and he's sitting so, I stop singing. The teacher sighs. I roll my eyes as soon as he turns towards the front.

When he tries to pick up the chalk, Alec and I burst out laughing. The sub whips around and yells "THE TWO OF YOU, GO TO THE PRINCIPAL!". The two of us walk out of the room, still laughing hysterically. "I can't believe you still remember the plan! We haven't done that since like mid-8th grade!" Alec states laughing. "I will never forget our fool proof plan!" I respond laughing. If you are wondering, we are best friends. We met in the principal's office in elementary school and we've been the school's bad boy and bad girl and biggest prankers since the day we met.

"Mr.Hickles, you have two delinquents to deal with!" I yell as we enter the office. He opens his door and sighs. "I see you two have met. I've been fearing this since the old principal told me about you two..."he trails off. I sit down in one of the chairs in the room and Alec sits in the other. We look at each other and burst out laughing.

"What's so funny?" Mr.Hikles asks. We ignore him and continue laughing. "The two of you have detention after school for half an hour." the principal states. Alec and I get up and walk to class to get our stuff. "See you later!" Alec says winking at me. I roll my eyes. We always flirt but, it means nothing... At least nothing to me.

I smile to myself because of my 2, possibly 3, friends. Luke, Alec and maybe, just maybe, Dagon...
