Chapter 9: Happy April Fool's!

A/N Whaaaat? 270 reads? Okay, to you, it might not be a lot. But to me? It's a hella more than I expected when I first started out. Anyway, I'm doing this at like 11.45pm and I still haven't showered and there is school tomorrow. Please forgive me if it's crappy or there are a lot of typos and all :/

I know it's 2 days late for April Fool's but let's just pretend.

Caleb's POV

So. Today's the day. Where lots of stupid people play stupid pranks on each other. I have no doubt Chris and Tim are going to come up with something.

When I entered the school gate, I saw no signs of Chris and Tim. So this is their trick? Dodge me? Psh. Fine. Two can play that game. I walked in and headed to my locker, absolutely unaffected. By the end of third period, both of them came up to me and said," Dude, did you not realise we were gone?"

"I did. But I figured this was a prank and you'd come sooner or later." I said.

"I told you he'd figure. I mean this is so dumb." Chris said to Tim.

We walked to the cafeteria for our break. We took our meals and sat down. Ahhhh... it was burgers, salad, and a yoghurt today. Before I could tuck in, A group of squealing girls came up to me.

It was Haley and her cronies. They're like the junior year version of Jessica. Except more mean to the "unpopular" ones. 

Haley strutted up, standing out from her pack, gave a flirty wink and said," Hey babe. We gotta talk. Something really serious happened."

"And what might that be?" I asked.

She leaned down towards me and started tracing circles on my biceps. Her barely-there-boobs were so obvious from my angle. But nuh-uh girl. Showing your cleavage, or rather the lack of in this case, does nothing to give me a better impression of you.

"I'm pregnant. With your child." she whispered just loud enough for Chris and Tim to hear too.

I cocked an eyebrow and said," I'm sorry but I don't remember having sex with a slut."

"Goddamnit nobody is falling for my April Fool's prank! Aargh!" she stomped off and her pack trailed behind.

It is now English. Aka my favourite lesson beacause I do well in it. But when I sat down, I noticed that something was wrong. 

In place of Mrs Lloyd's smile was a frown. When everyone was present, she cleared her throat and said," Caleb Logan! I am very dissapointed in you! I thought you were my star student!"

"What? Did I do something?" I asked, clearly confused.

"It's more of a "did I not do something" kind of situation now. How much did you study for last week's test? Did you put in your best?" she scoffed.

I scrunched up my eyebrows and thought hard. Last week's test was about... grammar? Yes. Grammar. I stayed up all night to study!

"I did study Mrs Lloyd! There must be some confusion about. the marks!" I said as I walked up hastily, wanting to see my marks.

Before I could take my paper, Mrs Lloyd said," Gotcha! Happy April Fool's my star student!" She winked and gave out the other papers.

I stood there, frozen. Even my English teacher is into pranks now? That's new.
