"Oh, hey there Steve"
"What do you want Arn"
"Nothing, just greeting my old friend"
"Okay, I better go, I'll be late for class"
"Okay, by the way, Drex and Jasmine might be a couple"
I pause. I look back. Is he mocking me?
"You can check in room 35, you'll see them sitting next to each other. I saw them holding hands. You have no chance with her anymore mate. The best thing to do is GIVE UP"
I couldn't hold it anymore. I punch him and he falls into the ground. Jake and Jordy runs to us, trying to stop me punching Arn. What do I do? I punch them also and they fall on the ground. I go back to Arn, I keep punching him until my hand starts to hurt. I back off, no one else was on the hallway. I drag all of them to the janitor's room and stack them inside it. I tape their mouth and tie their hands and legs together. I then lock the janitor's room and I head off to my class.
"Ah, late again Mr. Vender"
"Sorry miss"
"Sit down"
"As I was saying, room 35 and us are going to be going on a school field trip. I will give you the permission slip where all the details are gonna be"
"When are we going?" Asks Kim.
Kim is a hottie in our class but her attitude is bad. She once tagged on the school's back walls and she got caught. She was suspended for a week and when she came back, she had take counselling classes. But instead of going to the counselling class, she went to KFC. When she came back, she had to go to Mrs. Cray's office. Apparently, she almost got expelled but she's rich and her parents paid Mrs. Cray to not get her expelled. Now, she's being a good girl around teachers and a badass around her friends, she's friends with Annabella and Ciara but I think she hates Jasmine, I don't know.
"It will say on the permission slip"
"Oh, okay ma'm"
She starts handing out the permission slips and we all get one. I stuff it in my bag and start listening to her.
* * * *
"Okay class, see you again next week for our trip"
We all leave and Kim goes off to the toilet. So I follow her but not into the toilet because that's just gross. I listen to their conversation.
"Oi, guys, Vender came in late to class"
"And?" Asks Ciara.
"He's usually the earliest person in class. Something is up"
"He's just probably having a bad day cause everyone knows what happened yesterday"
"True"
"Come let's talk to him"
"Why, he's a dick"
"Chill, Ciara, he's got no friends so yea"
"Ana, where's Jaz?" Asks Kim. "Isn't she normally with you guys?"
"To be honest, I don't really know but she's probably with Drex"
"Are they a couple now?"
"I think so"
"Oh, ok. Steve will be hurt but algoods, let's just go"
OMG, Drex and Jasmine are a couple. I need fresh air. I run towards the back of the school where all the fresh air is. But, when I get there, I see Jasmine and Drex. Kissing. I step back, hopefully they don't see me. This is bad. Why are these shit happening in my life.
"Steve?"
I look back, it's Shauna and Jess.
"You okay?"
"I'm fine, just fuck off"
"Chill, we're here to cheer you up, come let's go to the cafeteria"
"Fine"
We go to the cafeteria and Jess buys me a drink.
"So what happened?"
"None of your business"
"Sorry"
"What's happening Steve? We're here to help you. We're your friends" Asks Shauna.
"I said it's none of your business!"
"But we're friends"
"You know what, I don't know why i'm hanging out with you faggots. You guys are bitchachos, just fuck off"
I get up and go to my next class. While I walk to my next class, I check my phone for messages. Ana texted me.
'Can you meet up at lunch time'.
'Sure' I reply back.'Where?'
'Next to the netball courts' She replies.
'K'.
I keep walking to my next class then I see Jasmine heading to my direction.
"Steve!" She calls.
I run to the opposite direction, and into the boy's bathroom. Why does she want me? I open the door slightly to see if she's anywhere insight. She's not, so I go out and head towards my next class again.
"Gotcha"
"What do you want?" I say, pissed off.
"Do you want to come with me and Sara and Tim on Sunday?"
"Where?"
"Movies"
"Am...i'll think about it"
"K, but tell me soon"
"K"
Why did she ask me to come to the movies instead of Drex? I thought they were a couple? Stuff this, I'll just go to class and forget all the stuff that has happened today. Mrs. Jackson is my next teacher. She's pretty cool but I still hate food/sewing tech. She gives us ice blocks if we win or be good in class. But the bad thing about her is that she gets pissed off too much. She made me sit between 4 girls just because I was laughing during class. That was ages ago but I still have a vivid memory of that. Now we are learning how to catch the fish. I don't what that is but i'm learning.
* * * *
When the bell rang, I race off to the netball courts. I can see Ciara, but where's the others. I don't go there yet because Ciara is frightening. She's pissed off at me all the time. I don't know why but she just is. I just sit behind the tree waiting for the others to come. While I wait, I get my headphones and I start listening to music. 'Don't stop! Doin what your doin!' my phone starts to ring. Bloody distracted my song. It's Jasmine, I take back what I just said.
"Hey"
"Hey" I reply back.
"Can you come to the western gym"
"Am...What for?"
"Am...just come"
"Fine"
