Wishful Love

chapter 2

Chloe sat down at her desk as she twirled her pencil back and fourth. Luka, yes, Luka Couffaine had asked her to come to his concert. Chloe was already planning everything she had to do to get ready as the teacher suddenly yelled her name.

"Chloe! Are you paying any attention to me?" the teacher gave her a stern look which Chloe returned by rolling her eyes. When she saw the teacher gave a sigh, she loosened up.

"Well, jeez, I have a lot on my plate right now." Chloe said. Her remark wasn't totally a lie, I mean she did have to get ready for this evening. The teacher made a low grumbling sound, almost like a growl.

"Go to the principal's office, miss Bourgeois!" the teacher yelled.

"What for?" Chloe said with sass. She knew Luka would never tolerate her behavior, but Chloe couldn't help herself.

"For talking back to your teacher and not doing your work!" the teacher yelled at such a force every sound seemed to stop. The whole class was now staring at Chloe.

"Fine, I'll just go tell the principal how unfair your being." Chloe pursed her lips and crossed her arms as she stamped out the door.

💢

When Chloe got to the principal and stated her "unfair case" she got a startling reply.

"Miss Bourgeois, I'm, er, sorry to hear that, but I'm afraid the teachers are a little concerned for you." Mr. Damicles replied.

"Uh, why?" Chloe said, confused.

"Your grades have been dwindling. Espicially on those pop quizzes you've took."

Chloe knew exactly what the principal was talking about. It wasn't that Chloe didn't learn anything, it was just that she made Sabrina do most of her homework. Not to mention Chloe could barely even understand what was happening in math anymore. School was just a blurr of confusion.

"If your grades don't improve, you may be held back a year." Mr. Damicles replied. Chloe gasped at this reply. She couldn't be held back a year. Sabrina wouldn't be able to help her at all, and she probably wouldn't even see Adrien. Not to mention what Luka would think of her.

"Ugh, fine. I'll try to improve my grades." Chloe said as she heaved a sigh. She was secretly mortifed as a thousand fears crossed her mind.

"Well, then you may get back to class then." Mr. Damicles replied to her. Chloe stood up and walked away.

When she returned it was already time for her second to last class. Phew, she thought with a sigh. Only a few more hours until she could see Luka perform.
