In The Name Of Trouble

Chapter 27

He was worried. Will she be fine? And he's also shocked at how she didn't say one word about the interrogation. He was hoping she'd spill a bit more about Larson. Does she even remember it? Did the truth serum also erase the memory of having had it?

He didn't know. All he knew is that he's going to protect her from him.
.................

"Where the fuck is my locker?" I kept muttering to myself. I couldn't see anything and there was no one in the corridors. It reminded me of a mental asylum.

Mental asylum!!! You had to remind me!!!

I dropped the books for the third time to check the map. The receptionist had marked my locker with a red marker, and I still couldn't find it.

Ring!!!!

I shut my ears. That was one screeching noise. The corridors started to get crowded as kids went around laughing and talking. I stayed at the very same corner so that I won't get washed along with the crowds. Once it was all clear, she took off with the books.

Locker 327. Where are you?

I finally found it and threw my books inside. I then looked at my timetable. Turns out first period is lab. I tried to find the lab on the map, but I'm  terrible in reading maps.

I finally found it and opened it. The teacher was interrupted in a mid sentence and looked at me. So did the children.

"Uhh hi" I said as I took a step in "I am Cash, Cash Rebel and I'm new here."

"I'm sorry, your name is Cash?" The kids laughed "You're all over the news." The kids faces suddenly turned to that of realization.

Yes, Cash Rebel the criminal is in your filthy school.

"I suppose I am." I really don't know what to say. I mean what will you do when someone's talking about your criminal record in a public place with everyone watching?

"What are you doing here?"

"I don't know, studying?" I said with sarcasm.

"Come with me." She left the room and I went behind him.

We were waiting outside the principal's office. Wow, first day and I end up here.

Once we were in. The woman behind the desk had a stern look in her face. She motioned me to sit.

"Mam" the teacher started, "This is Cash Rebel. The one who's all over the news now" she looked at me with bulging eyes "And I'm shocked as to what she's doing here."

"I think a man named Thomas enrolled me here." I said

"Wait, you're the one he wanted to enroll? I thought a normal girl with a normal life." She sneered "Never mind her Nanva, she's actually enrolled here."

Nanva just stared at me "At least put some cuffs on her. You're telling me to seriously teach people with a misfit among them?"

I kept silent, not because I wanted to, but because she's right and I'm doing this for Thomas.

"Nanva just go back to teach the kids. Oh never mind, there's just a minute for the bell."

Nanva and I left the room.

"If I catch you doing anything I don't like, I'll make sure you're out."

I just glared at her and she at me. And then she left me.

The bell rang and I saw the corridors getting filled up again. Just as I was walking through the vending machine, there was this girl who was struggling with something.

"Come on you stupid thing, gimme my food or my money!!!" She rocked it back and forth.

"That's not how you do it." I went to her. She looked at me "What can you do about it? I mean this is the fifth time its hogged my money."

I just bent a little and looked at the packet of chips that was stuck between the cords. I pressed a few numbers. The spiral thing spun one more time and the chips fell.

"Woah cool!! Thanks. What did you do?"

"Just typed in a cheat code."

"Tell me."

"Ok but don't tell anyone else."

"What's your name? You seem pretty nice."

"That's a first. Cash Rebel. And you're?"

"Woah you're Cash Rebel? I mean the one on the news?"

"Ya, I suppose you wanna run away now."

"No, I'm lily. You're new?"

"Just joined today."

"Nice. So what's your next class?"

"Umm" I took it out and checked "Gym? There's a class for gym?"

"Ya, pretty much. Its there in all schools. Which school do you come from?"

"Foreign exchange student from Florida." Florida? What the actual fuck?

"Oh Florida, how's the weather there?"

"Pretty...... Cool."

"Really? Its supposes to be a hot climate region. Maybe something changed."

"Ya...... Hey which way's gym?" I changed the topic.

"I have gym too, I'll take you there."

"Thanks"
