As I walked to the hall where the opening ceremony would happen all I could think about was the hills eyes and Steven. Why are they here and why are they attacking me. The hills eyes were infamous for its attacks and information on everyone. But it seems they only have eyes on my drama today. As I walked in most of the school were sitting down and talking. As soon as me and my group behind me walked in people all looked at me. Most of the conversations went quite. I moved to the back of the hall. The hall was pretty much an auditorium there were several different rows that lead to a stage. I saw some teachers sitting on the balcony seats. I walked across the the back row and sat on the red comfy chair. Rachel sat next to me. I laid my head back closing my eyes. Rachel leaned over and whispered in my ear.
“ dont worry jack it will be fine, let’s just get this day over and done with.” I looked over at her to see her smiling which brought a smile to my face. On the stage the principle walked onto the stage. He was your stereotypical rich white guy. The black business suite with a short white beard. He welcomed us all back to the school and gave us a speech about the basic rules and being safe on social media. He then told us that the faculty doesn’t support the hills eye and that he will deal with it this year. After two minutes of him talking I laid my head back closing my eyes. He spouts this nonsense everytime he possibly can causing it to be very boring after the five thousandth time. As I laid back slowly cutting out the principles voice. My phones buzzing and everyone else’s In the auditorium pulled me back to reality.I opened my phone to see a photo of the principal. With the words please old man I will always be here you will never get rid of me now change the topic as you are boring some students. Example see next snap. I clicked to see a photo of me half asleep on the chair with the caption see if jacks not interested is it really worth saying.
As the whole school were looking at their phones I saw the principle grab someone’s phone and looking straight at me as did the whole school. I saw sir signal to a girl teach as she marched up the steps to me. Rachel leaned over to me as I just laughed. She looked concerned as I sat there laughing.
“ jack are you ok “ I kept laughing about today after four years of work to get where I am in life. For it all to be challenged on one day is amusing.
“ yeah I’m fine Rae” I got up as the teacher got to my row she pointed to the door. As I followed her I heard the principle call that the assembly was over. The teacher had her brown hair in a bun, she had thick black glasses that rested on the tip of her nose. Her high heels hitting the ground echoed throughout the halls. As she walked me to the principal's office my phone buzzed. She looked back at me with a piercing glance at me like she knew what I was about to do. As we turned the corner there was a massive black door which read the principal's office. I looked at the teacher and she pointed to it leaving. Knowing this was gonna be very unpleasant I grabbed my phone looking at the new snap posted. This time it was a photo of me walking with the teacher with the words ,Sorry not sorry. The next was a snap of Felix getting punched in the face by Jackson outside the auditorium with the caption. Boys will be boys seems jack won’t be so lonely in that office. I walked into the office seeing the principle sitting behind his desk. Around the room was many phds hang up. Several bookshelves with a desk in the center. There was also a window to the left overlooking the school courtyard. The principle was sitting at his desk with a file in his hand. A sticker was in the corner that read foster. He gestured to sit in one of the chairs in front of him. The chairs were circular couches with a floral pattern. A place was on the front of the desk that read Dr Howard Hendrickson. I sat on the chair which was surprisingly comfy as he put the file down.
“ hello Mr Foster seems you didn’t like my speech I prepared today” he looked at me with big eyes waiting for an answer.
“ no sir it’s just it’s been a hard day” he looked at me assessing my words and movements. He looked back at the file.
“ it would be a shame for me to interrupt your father he’s probably very busy being a senator and all.” The moment he said that my heart dropped. He was going to call dad. I looked at him silent and unmoving.
“ well this is one of the first times in here and all I hear are great things from you. There is also another matter I have to deal with so I’ll let you go” This put a smile on my face I just got out of that easy with no scars stuff you hill's eyes I won that battle. I got up to leave to hear mr Hendrickson saying goodbye mr foster. As I walked out of the office I saw Felix standing there with a massive bruise on his face, a ripped shirt and a swelling eye. Jackson didn’t look any better with his tie hanging around his neck untied. Jackson’s hair was all messed up with a cut on his cheek that was bleeding. I gave Felix a smile as I walked past giving Jackson a thumbs up. Both boys looked down as i saw Jackson fists I saw most of his skin on his knuckles were pulling off as blood was starting to form. The rest of the day was pretty boring we went to recess after we got our new time table. We then went to classes and lucky me Steven was in every single one of my classes. As the bell to signal the end of the day rang me and Rachel were in drama. Which seemed very appropriate to the day that has happened. I walked out of the room down the hall to see Steven and Emilia talking. I continued to walk to Jessica’s car chatting to Rachel when I saw Felix sitting in the car all grumpy. Jason was on the override of the car park chatting up some freshman girl. Jessica was standing in front of the car scarring off anyone who came near her little brother. We walked up to the car Felix had just gotten worse his black eye now very visible he also still had the ripped shirt in. Jessica pulled Rae aside to talk as I got into the car. The back of the car stunk of testosterone and blood. The backseat where Felix resided had blood over the leather seats. I jumped in trying to hold my laugh at him. He was obviously not in the mood to talk but I was. Something to take my mind of this whole Steven situation.
“ hey Felix wanna know something more bruised than your face” He looked at me getting a bit red. Which made me smile a bit.
“ your ego is especially when losing to Jackson like how embarrassing for someone like you” I just laughed at my own comment but that quickly stopped when he clapped back.
“ ohh little Jackie it’s ok I know your just unhappy because Your ex beau has come back especially with a new man it’s okay” he looked at me with a fake frown which just made worse by the stage I was in. We were ready to punch up when Rachel and Jessica jumped in. Rachel climbed over me into the middle as Jessica jumped in the driver's seat.
“ I swear jack your brother will be the death of me” she drove out of the stop up to Jason and this new blond haired freshman girl beeping her horn. She rolled the window down and yelled at him.
“ keep it in your pants and get in the car idiot” Jason looked at the girl touching there phones together as he ran to jump in the car. As Jason jumped in he looked in the back stopping at Felix.
“ wow buddy he got you good you ain’t picking up any chicks tonight for sure” Jason laughed at his own joke as Rachel reached over and hit him on the shoulder, which was then followed by Jessica’s hit.
“ yeah there’s probably not gonna be a party tonight for starters both of our brothers got in trouble on our first day and I would like my room to only be used by me tonight thanks.” Jason whines pressing Jessica.
“ omg Jessica jack can deal with Steven like he needs to get over it, hey he might meet somebody else and Felix got in a fight with a nerd it's not that big of a deal.” jessica was watching the road but looked in the rearview mirror at us. Then at jason.
“ jack, felix yes or no to the party" i looked at jessica thinking was that even a question.
“ yes “ we both stated one of the first time we agreed on something.
“ ok the party's on then but felix mum and dad want to talk to you on the phone when you get home.” he nodded as jason fist bumped the air. How could my day get any worse time to get drunk and have some fun.
