Upon the Stars: Sodapop Curtis x OC {Completed}

Chapter Fifteen

     I rushed towards the school with a small notebook in my hand. I waved my hands in the air as I saw my old English teacher. "Mr.Syme!" I called to him. I finally reach his presence and handed him the notebook. "Ponyboy's assignment... Sorry it was a week late! That was my fault!" I explained as the bell rang. Before he could say anything I rushed into the school and into my first class. I quickly sat in my seat and took a random notebook out and pretended to write.

     The teacher froze, "Summer, you don't know any of this yet..."

     I nervously laughed, "It's always good to get notes in...?"

     "Let me see them then," the teacher insisted raising an eyebrow. Everyone's attention was brought to me.

     "I mean, I wrote down alot... Too much to read in our remaining time...!" I said making up an excuse.

     "Now!" The teacher narrowed her eyes. I held up the empty notebook and handed it to her. She snatched it from my hand and looked through it. Empty. "That's what I thought, Summer Cade," she snorted pushing the notebook back into my hands. The bell rang and everybody gathered their stuff. I began to leave until my teacher grabbed the collar of my jacket. "We're going to talk..." She frowned. She wasn't the disciplining type. She was just strict.

     "Y-Yes?" I asked turning to her after everyone left.

     "Are you ok? You've missed alot of school lately. You're also acting strange," my teacher said.

     "I'm fine. I've just been in the hospital. Nothing serious!" I said.

     "Alright," the teacher sighed she exited the room and went into the hall. I walked over and bent down to grab my stuff. The next class had already arrived. Before I could lay a hand on my school supplies some slapped my butt. I perked up and my face grew red in embarrassment and anger.

     "Leave my butt alone, Richard!" I spat. I clutched my fist and threw a left hook at his cheek. He winced and held his face looking at me in shock. I huffed and grabbed my stuff. I froze as Ms.Brown entered the room. I rushed out the door quickly. My teacher had grabbed the collar of my shirt again.

     "Summer, did you punch Richard?" She asked angrily. I became speechless until a voice popped in.

     "Nah, it was me Ms.Brown," Two-bit said. He'd always had been roaming the halls when he was supposed to.

     "Two-bit, come here!" she scowled. I mouthed a small 'Thank you' to Two. He gave a small nod in return with a smile. I rushed to my next class with a sigh.

     "Does this day get any better?" I asked myself. I sat down in my seat in my second class.

     "Tardy!" A student yelled before chuckling.

     I rubbed my head... "Of course," I sighed. Being a tardy in Mr.Struble's class was one of the worse things in school. Here I am, sitting in my seat, getting ready for my ear drum to be blown out by Mr.Struble.
