Chapter 1 - Teasing

"Kiss-Up Cassy!"

"Teacher's pet!"

The boys grinned as I pushed up my glasses and walked away.  The teasing didn't bother me, it was the fact that they did it EVERY SINGLE DAY is what ticked me off. As I walked into my next class, science, the boys followed me, still teasing.  Before I could go through the door, the boys started up again.

"Did you do your homework, Kiss-Up Cassy?"

"Of course she did, she's the teacher's pet!"

I didn't want to say this but it just exploded out of me as I whipped around to face them:

"Can you ever SHUT UP?!? All you do is tease me all day, and I bet that your homework is not even done!"  I added a little snap for emphasis.

"Whatever you say, Cassy," Preston comes a little to close to me.  I backed up a little, but then pushed him aside and strutted into science. I could hear their evil laughter in the background. 

"I guess she isn't into you," Luke says Preston, and Preston playfully pushes him.  I try to ignore it, but it doesn't work. Unfortunately for me, half of their group is in my class. So when the teacher says "Cassidy Callahan?" and as I respond "Here," the guys shriek "TEACHER'S PET!!" at the top of their lungs.

"Ivan, Luke, Malcolm, and Preston; please be quiet as I take attendance, and your parents are all being emailed home."  Mrs. Harris didn't even lookup.  She just knew it was those four from experience.

There was a murmur from the boys. 

"Stupid Mrs. Harris.  She never lets us do anything fun without getting in trouble," I overheard them say.

    The bell rings forty minutes later. I run to my locker to pack up, and surprisingly, the boys are not there waiting for me. I let a sigh of relief as I open my locker and let out a scream because I see Fred, the only kid as geeky as me, in my locker all hunched up. I pull him out and ask him what happened, I hear the boys roaring with laughter across the hall.  Luke gives me a smirk, and I roll my eyes. Then I listen to what Fred has to say. He tells me that my locker was wide open during 6th period and I curse to myself.

I should have never gone to my locker! I think. Anyways, he keeps telling me that then Malcolm, Ivan, and Ken took him by their arms and dragged him into my locker. Then they shut it and scrambled up the code. The poor kid exclaimed that was screaming for almost a half an hour!

"What period did you say they put you in my locker?" I ask as I gather my things, which I dropped from surprise.

"6th period," he kneels to help me.

"Dude!  You were in there for two hours!"  I drop my stuff again, but more neater.

"I knew it felt longer than thirty minutes!" he mutters to himself.

"Two hours man.  You should tell the principal."  I gather up my stuff and get to my feet.  

"No way.  The boys tease me enough and this will make everything ten times worse."

"I'll come with you. The only person they bother more than you is me. So it can't get any worse."

He agrees and we pack up and go to the office. I'm relieved that the group doesn't follow us.
