Mrs. Claus

Chapter One

"It's soooo hooooot," I groaned as I practically dumped water onto my face. I guess I should try to get used to it if I want my own room. And I definitely want my own room. I'd prefer this hot attic than share a room with my two older sisters. Carolina and Bethony, which I have learned are very clingy. 

My thoughts had suddenly changed onto the topic of school; which, I guess I should be getting ready for right now. So I finally got up after a few more slow long breathes, deciding that I should go to school. Quickly, I throw on some decent clothes, some random cheap watch onto my wrist and matching white socks and shoes. 

As I came out my room, I glanced at my watch and gasped, "oh sh*tty sh*t. I'm late for school!"

I snatched an apple from on top the cabinet and sped outside towards my bike. I arrived at school huffing into the front office. I slammed my sweaty hands onto the front desk, raised my head, and smiled at Ms.Hutson. " Good evening, Ms.Hutson. May I get one of your just lovely tardy slips, please?"

She scoffed, " well Tristan, you can't just keep continuously being late for school. There are consequences you know. I've unnecessarily tried my best to help you out, but you need to do your part and help yourself as well."

I tossed my finished apple into the trash, "yes, ma'am," I smiled at her, " and you've done such an exquisitely  fine job, Ms.Hutson."

Ms.Hutson redden, then her face screwed as she felt seemly maybe ashamed , " you shouldn't flirt with adults, Tristan!"

I sat up away from the counter, " ah, sorry, " I smirked, " I can't help it when I see such a pretty face!"

She scoffed and turned her red face, " Tristan, go to class, " she handed me a tardy slip then went back to staring at her computer screen.

I yawned as I wrapped tape around my wrist.  I scanned the room and  glanced at the emo girl next to me and smiled. She rolled her eyes, " don't get me in trouble today, Tristan. I am not in the mood," she whispered.

I smirked, " your never in the mood, " I chuckled, " Melody..." I sang slowly, " I would do no such thing, " I stretched unnecessarily dramatic then reached my legs up onto my desk, " so tell me what you and Trevor did this time." 

She shook her head, "no."

I crawled my fingers across her desk, " aw, ¿por favor? S'il vous plaît? Please? You and Trevor have the most interesting ways of pleasing  each others se-"

"Tristan!" Mrs.Camp said, walking over towards us " is that my tape?! I've been looking for that!"

"Ah...I had no idea you needed this," I smiled as the class erupted with joyous laughter. 

"And get your legs off the desk! You are absolutely in no position to do that! You are not home!" She marched angrily as she finished her way towards us. She was madly clenching her scissors that I sudden realized she had. 

I smiled at what I was about to do. I quickly ran out of my seat, " Mrs.Camp! You wouldn't dare stab me with such a thing! Don't kill me, I'm sorry!" The class laughed, " violence is absolutely not the answer for every math equation!" 

That when I knew I f*cked up. The class roar of laughter was cut off, " that' sit! Tristan go to the front office! You are too much of a distraction!"

The class giggled as I sludged off the floor. 

"That goes for you to, Melody!" 

Melody glared at me and told Mrs.Camp she did nothing wrong. And of course, Mrs.Camp wasn't having it. So Melody and I went to the principal's office. Of course I took lead in where to go. 

This was not unfamiliar territory.

" I can't believe you just got suspended again!" Yelled Nicholas. I could tell he rethought what he just said. He can believe I got suspended. 

"Nicholas, I didn't do any-"

"You will call me dad, because you are my son, which sadly I am responsible for!"

"Your not really my dad, Nicholas. Really your just my....um...guardian, I think?

"Call me by my name again and I swear I will stick my bloody foot up your bloody a**!"

I smirked, intrigued, " Nicholas."

"What?" He growled, " what did you just say?!"

"Bloody h*ll! You can not hear, Nicholas!"

In a blink of an eye I felt a surge of pain in my groin, and fell. I stayed on the ground, crumbled and swearing words as tears ran down my gorgeous face. 

 "I could've popped you in your mouth and make you chew on soap while I'm at it!" "You are absolutely not, on any standards allowed to curse," he spat.

I sat up and cupped my groin as I croaked, " but you curse all the time!"

"I said you cannot curse,not me. So don't you dare ever question me!" He crossed his arms and said, " I'm taking away all games and any other devices you have. Along with anything else you adore. And if I'm feeling merciful, you might get to see them after you return to school."

"But that'll be forever!"

"Then next time think before deciding to misbehave or I'll be selling the games!"
