Divergent High School

Luck and Evil Janitors

It's been one week since I've started my new school. I've had no problems besides a few whispers that I don't really care for. What I do for care is Caleb. Next week he'll be back in school and will have to face more torment.

Today was Wednesday but Ms. Huhn said we would be swimming today since somethings going on with the pool Friday. I was the first to get to the locker room so I went in the bathroom stall and began undressing until I realized I had forgotten my towel in my hall locker and I was already in my swimsuit. Shoot, I thought. Maybe I could barrow a towel from someone in the class?

I stepped out of the stall and all the girls were getting ready. I then followed a group of girls who were exiting the locker room. Everyone set in 3 different groups along the pool ledge. "Hey. Know how to swim?" Asked a voice.

I turned around, it was Four. "Somewhat I guess," I replied.

Eric, the boy with the piercings walked over, "So if I pushed you in the pool you'd be able to swim to the other end without hesitation?" He asked.

"Uh-" Before I could say anything I was at the bottom of the pool, I tried gasping for air but ended up choking on the water.

A whistle was the last thing I heard.

When I woke up I was lying on a towel and on a bench. "You alright?" I looked up. It was Four.

"How long was I out?" I asked.

"5 minutes. We got you out fast enough, your in begginers."He said without looking up.

"What? But I know how to swim!" I snapped.

"When I pushed you it didn't-"

"Your the one who pushed me?" I asked, more demanded.

"I had too. Eric would've done more damage." He then got up, "Let's go."

I stood up and got on the pool. Everyone was staring at me, luckily for me, Will was also in beginners.

"Don't feel bad, beginners is actually fun." Will smiled.

I forced a smile and we began practicing our dead man floats.

When we were done Four handed me the towel I was laying on, "Take it."

"Why?" I asked.

"You need to dry off don't you?" He asked.

It was probably his towel. But why was he giving it to me? Did he see me walk in the locker room towelless?

I entered the lockerroom and Molly smirked at me, "Nice job swimming today."

I pushed passed her ignoring her and every stare.

"Do you always swim so....stiffly?" She chuckled.

"Wait, isn't she Caleb Prior's sister?" Asked a girl.

"Hmph I wouldn't be suprised. They both act so stiff...Stiff #1 and Stiff #2." Molly said, which led to an uproar of chuckles.

Lynn then entered the lockerroom. I didn't know she was in my class. The lockerroom got quiet.

"Is there a problem?" Demanded Lynn.

"Your in this class?" I whispered to her.

"I got caught skipping," she said.

"Hey lesbo-" Molly started but was caught off by Ms. Huhn who entered. "How thick do you think these walls are ladies? I don't wanna hear any bullying crap." She snapped glaring at Molly.

The whole lockerroom was quiet for the rest of the time. When the bell rang me and Lynn walked to lunch, I then stopped her before entering. "What happened last year...with Molly?" I asked hesitantly.

She turned to me suprised then sighed, "We were best friends then me and her friend were in the locker room and started fighting. We were in our swimsuits so her friend said I tried to undress her. And...yeah. I didn't. Did that answer your question?" She asked, her voice slightly shaky.

I nodded, "Mhm."

We then entered together and took a seat at are usual table, "How's your brother?" Asked Marlene.

"You know Caleb?" I asked.

"Yeah, well sort of. I heard Peter and Drew talking about what happened and I told them to shut up because I heard the name 'Prior'."

"What were they saying?" I asked.

"He was a wimp. Those pansycakes. Obviously Caleb didn't hit them hard enough."

"Pansycakes?" Christina asked confused.

Marlene smirked, "Once upon a time there was a woman who loved flowers mainly, pansies and a man who loved cake. They got married and has a son named Pansycake. Pansycake was a buttface so everyone began using his name as an insult. The End."

"And yet your failing your Creative Writing class," said Lynn through suppressed laughter.

"Not my fault the teacher is out to get me." Marlene said turning away.

"You think everyones out to get you," said Will turning to me, "She thought the janitor was out to get her."

"That's only because he almost tripped me with his killer floor scrubber!" Marlene snapped.

"You mean the mop?" Asked Shauna.

Marlene sighed, "Oh you people."

I chuckled. Maybe Anatomy won't be so bad.

I think I jinxed it. Geometry flew by mainly because Uriah convinced the teacher to teach outside today since it was a beautiful day.

But when Anatomy rolled around we were assigned lab partners and guess who mine was. You guesses it. Peter.
