I Fell For The Loser In Glasses *ON HOLD*

Am I Popular,Yet?

Kristian's P.O.V

...

I whipped my body around , my shoes let out a small cry, and there standing in front of me was a dwarf whose curly,smoke white hair had migrated to the back of his egg-shaped head, his eyes deathly-cold , never looking at me only through me.

"Is there a problem, Mr.Lawson, sir?" I asked,wanting the question to be rhetorical. His face remained in it's unimpressed state as he brushed something off his gunmetal suit.

"Have you found a tutor yet?" His words as heavy as he was.

I knew he wanted my answer to be negative, just so he could kick me out on my face faster.

"Yes sir, I have. Lia will be the one tutoring me." I said in a matter of fact tone.

"Good choice." He said under his smoke tainted breath before limping in the opposite direction. I grinned, not today Satan.

Noticing that time had not stopped for me, I headed to my class, last thing I needed was a detention from Mrs.Lawrence for tardiness (I'm not cleaning the Zoology lab again).

The room was horror-movie silent, the only audible sound was the prickly sound of pens scribbling away at papers, test papers. Upon realization of what was going on, blood rushed into every crevice of my head and a metallic taste washed over my mouth, the room spun like the most intense park ride and I was it's unprepared victim.

Pop quiz.Shit, I forgot that was today. Typical Kristian.

Mrs.Lawrence, glared at me from behind her thick lens bifocals,her grey,foggy eyes pierced me as I walked to my desk, her bony face wrinkled with disgust. She wrote something down in a bright yellow notebook on her desk.

I  pulled my chair out from under the desk, failing to maintain the silence of the classroom, and plopped down next to Blaire, who I mouthed the words "I'm screwed" to, he grinned before turning his attention back to his almost filled paper, smart ass.

I wrote my name at the top of the sheet, then proceeded to stare at the paper, hoping the pen would magically get up and do the task stated,

Write a 900 word essay outlining reasons why...

I sprang up in a panic as the bell rang signaling the end of another day, nap time was over along with the allocated time for the quiz. You gotta be kidding me Kristian.

I handed the incomplete, slightly drooled on paper to Mrs.Lawrence and bolted the hell outta there almost tripping on my way out the door. I could sense Mrs.Lawrence's mutual annoyance and possibly a future detention from behind the closed door. Blaire was waiting for me on the outside.

"That test was so easy,yeah?" he said unaware of the fact that I passed out before I could even attempt the damned thing.

I rolled my eyes ,"I didn't do 'jack diddly squat' on that quiz.There is no chance of passing."

Blaire's face took on a sympathetic look as he touched my shoulder, "I heard you're getting a tutor. That Lia girl will get you through this or at least I hope so."

"I  really hope so too."

Lia's P.O.V

...

The day had finally come to it's unforeseen end and I couldn't have been more grateful. I walked into the plague of people situated in the main hallway, the loud buzzing  chatter from home-sick students and teachers rang in my ear giving me a slight headache. I hated walking in large crowds

"Hey Lia." a  voice came from behind me , it was Markus, who I just had Chemistry class with, which he talked all throughout, not a word relating to the subject.

"Hey Markus." I greeted him with a forced smile as he paced beside me.

"Hey Lia.Got any plans for this evening?" his face eager for an answer.

"Yeah, my parents and I are having a birthday party for my dog, Lucy. Wanna come?" I said jokingly.

He smiled, "I'll take that as a no. Wanna help me pull a prank on someone?"

I had never pulled a prank before, but I had been pranked in the past by my older brother, Jacob.

Do friendships always move this fast or was it just me?

"That depends on who that someone is."

"Nobody special, just my 5th grade teacher, Mr. Nakamura!" he shouted trying to be heard over the crowd.

"What did he do?" I asked lifting an eyebrow.

"Absolutely nothing. I just wanna do it for the rush,ya know (no I didn't)?."  he grinned as he rubbed his hands together like a super villain in one of those movies .

"What's in it for mi?" I stopped walking, held on to my bag straps and faced him.

"You get a touch of life and enjoyment which I'm sure you've never had before."

Ouch, I thought I was savage.

"OK.Let's do it. What are your plans?" I agreed , the more 'lessons' the better.

His tubs of baby blue paint widened upon hearing my answer, his mouth curved up into a  mischievous smile, revealing a small dent in his freckled white cheek.

"We're going shopping,baby! We're gonna need paint,lots of it, eggs, a fish, toilet paper and most importantly the blood of a newborn cow." he said grabbing my arm , pulling  me to the school driveway that was significantly less crowded.

"Oh wow that's a lot. I know where we can get the cow blood" I said,squinting in the boiling afternoon sun.

"I was joking about the blood part, Lia." his blonde eyebrows raised

"Oh yeah me too." I laughed nervously , I really did know a guy.

"OK, so where's your car?" he said shading his eyes from the sun,looking over my head for a non-existent vehicle.

"You don't drive?" I asked despite knowing the answer

"Yeah, I drive my mom insane, but an actual car,sadly I don't." he chuckled,removing his hand from his forehead. "Guess we're walking."

"Carry me?" I said facetiously lifting my arms childishly.

"OK, get on." he said bending his knees slightly,an invitation to piggyback.

"I was joking,Markus. Let us start walking already." I lightly punched him in his shoulder certain he didn't feel anything through the layer of muscle hidden under a black and white hoodie.

This is it Lia, your first delinquent action.I hope don't get arrested or worse...
