Running From Myself

Short Lived New Start

Time Skip to Last lesson

It had been a long boring first day. Everyone stayed five meters away, probably scared of what my step father, apart from Jordan. At first it was like Khadim had told him to look out for me, but now it was more out of choice. We had a lot in common.

It was finally last period, I had english... Great! I never really liked english, probably because I spent all the time worrying that someone might find out I'm thick.

I slowly walked in to the class followed by Jordan. We sat on a table with a couple of girls: Chloe and Hayley. They weren't anything special.

"Right year 11, we're just gonna go through Romeo and juliet one last time in preparation for your mock tomorrow, I hope you've all been revising?" Miss Keane said making the whole class groaned. "Right, so Ant if you start read the fist 3 pages of scene 1 then we'll pass it on to someone else".

"Nah i'm fine thanks" I snapped back. "Everyone is going to be reading at some point, and as being knew it will benefit you for tomorrow. Now please, I'm not asking". She said saying the last part in a more stern voice. "I said NO!" I shouted, chucking the book across the classroom so that it landed in the bin.

"OUTSIDE NOW! take your bag" She bellowed. Igrapped my bag and skateboard and stormed out the class, with Miss Keane following behind.

"Ah, Mr Qureshi, can you escort Ant to isolation please." A man with a tattoo on his neck looked at me and then back at Miss Keane. "What's he done?" He queried causing Miss Keane to whisper something to him and he nodded.

"Right this way" he gestured down a corridor. After a little awkward silence he finally spoke up. "I know it can be hard to fit in but.." "but what" I cut him of, making him sigh. I knew what he was gonna say and I just didn't want to hear it. "Okay then. Well can I see that board?" He said gesturing to my skateboard held in my left hand. I nodded and handed it to him.

"You paint this?" I shrugged. "Well it's really good. However as a teacher I'm going to have to confiscate the skateboard until the end of the day" He said with an apologetic smile.  

Every teacher is always like this; they act like they care but really they know your going to fall at some point or another.
