Unlucky Luck

Chapter 2 - Scientific Nightmare

"Psst, pssst, PSSSSSSTT!!!  Yo babe. I think you left your underwear at mine” I rolled my eyes and continued to ignore the freckled face boy who was continuously prodding me in the back.

It was first period and I was not in the mood for Adam Avner’s stupid antics. Last time I had entertained his foolishness I had ended up with a week’s detention with the world’s cruellest teacher; Ms Devele and I’d be damned if that shit was going down again. Adam was one of those guys who thought he was God’s gift to women and although he was a family friend and I had known him for most of my life he still thought he could flirt with me.

“Yo Mikayla, psst psst. Babe” Adam continued poking me with his pen. “Mikaylaaa, Mikky, psst” Whack! Oh no he didn’t! I look up from my English paper as something hit me hard on the back of my head. I turned slowly to face Adam who had a menacing glint in his eyes.

“Adam?” I asked giving him my sweetest smile. Adam smiled sweetly at me.

“Yes my sugar banana” he replied flashing his teeth at me. I counted to 10 in my head to refrain myself from body slamming him. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.

“Did you throw a pen at my head… honey?” I asked through gritted teeth.

“Of course not, darling, what do you take me for?” I raised my eyebrows at him certain he was lying. “I threw my ruler at you, I need my pen right now. Duh” he said chuckling to himself.

 I lunged at him “You fuc-”

 “MS MIKAYLA ROMERO, GET OUT NOW!!” Ms Devele bellowed.

“But..?! I…That’s not...” I shut my mouth; I knew from experience that there was no point arguing with Ms Devele. Ms Devele had a special hatred for me and nothing in the world would change that. I grabbed my bag and walked out of the class but not before giving Adam the most withering look I had.

“Dick”, I muttered when I walked past him but I was surprised to see that he actually looked guilty.

After every one had left for second period I walked into the room to receive my punishment. To my astonishment Adam was still in the classroom. I stood in front of Ms Devele’s table and waited. Ms Devele cleared her throat. ‘Here we go’ I thought to myself. Ms Devele had a habit of clearing her throat before a lecture.

“As you two don’t seem to be affected by the multiple detentions I have given you these past few months, I have decided to come up with a different method. As of tomorrow you two will be part of the school’s science club.”

“Wait, what do you mean by us two?!” I asked not quite believing what I was hearing.

“Mr Avner has told me that he was provoking you so you will both be joining the science club as punishment” Ms Devele informed.

I closed my eyes, this was my worst nightmare. I hated science and couldn’t stand any of the stuck up snobs that attended the science club.

“Miss, I’d rather have detention and you’re an English teacher so why are we joining a science club?” I protested.

“Ms Romero, I don’t have time to waste after school trying to educate you on the ethics of behaving in the classroom therefore first thing tomorrow I will enrol you and Mr Anver into the only after school club with any spaces left. Science” Ms Devele’s eyes gleamed in a way that could only mean she was enjoying my pain.

It was bad enough I would have to go to science club but having to go with Adam Avner, this day could not get any worse. “Miss, please, don’t do this. Give me another chance. I’ll do anything. Anything!  I’ll staple my lips shut for the rest of eternity, I’ll …I’ll rip out my tongue with a pair of rusty pliers. Miss pleeaaassseee!!” I  pleaded.

Adam just seemed amused and not at all bothered by the fact he would have to attend science club for the rest of the year.

“I’m sorry Mikayla” Ms Devele said in a way that meant she wasn’t sorry at all, “but there are no more chances”.

I nodded, knowing when I was defeated and walked out of the classroom to my next class. 

As I walked slowly down the corridor with Adam not far behind, I realised my next lesson was science.

“Fuck!” I swore out loud.

“What’s wrong, Mufasa” Adam asked catching up to me.

“We have science next. I hate science.”

“Yeah, I guessed” he chuckled. I turned to stare at him.

“You think this is funny, do ya, do ya, huh?! Cos I’m only in this freakin’ mess because of you in the first place, you ass! I mean what was so important that you had to throw a fucking ruler at my head?!”

Adam looked at the floor sheepishly.

“it’s not important anymore” he muttered. I scoffed and turned away from him. As I walked towards my  science class I heard a small voice call my name.

“Mikayla…I…I’m sorry…for getting you in trouble” Adam said looking deep into my eyes.

“Am I dreaming or did you just apologise” In the ten years I had known Adam he had never once apologised, even when he threw my shoe into the sea on a school trip.

“Don’t get used to it” he answered and pushed me to the ground. I stared at him in disbelief. I do not get boys.

“What the hell is wrong with you, you uneducated Neanderthal?!” I shouted looking up at him from the floor.

“Shut up dogface

“Bastard”

“Bitch”

“Moron”

“Overgrown chimpanzee” I bit back as I pulled myself up from the ground.

“At least my dad didn’t leave me cause’ I was an annoying little bitch who didn’t know when to shut the fuck up” Adam and I gasped as the words escaped Adam’s mouth. How could he?  Tears sprang to my eyes. Adam was one of the few people who knew about my dad abandoning me and my mum, he was also one of the only people who knew that I blamed myself.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t me-” Adam began. Slap! Adam reached up to his face and rubbed it in a vain attempt to soothe it.

“You’re a dick and I never want to speak to you ever again” I hissed before turning on my heel and storming into the science class.

“Aah, Mikayla, thank you for finally joining us. I trust you won’t fall asleep this lesson.” My science teacher Mr Richardson said as I took my seat next to Amelia. Adam walked in after me and sat at his seat at the front.

“Don’t count on it” I muttered and put my head on the table. Amelia flashed a look at me that said, ‘what’s wrong, are you okay’ I looked at her and shook my head, which meant I’ll tell you later. I put my head on the science table and did what I usually did in science. I fell asleep.

 Sorry this chapter is so short. It looks longer on Microsoft, trust me.Please comment on the chracters. What do you think of Adam, Good/ Bad? Comment and Vote :)
