Mattys POV
It's been a couple of weeks since Adam and Amy moved in and it's going pretty well so far, Adam fits in well with the lads and Amy and me just chill. I stand in front of my mirror acting like James bond as I fix my tie, holding my blazer against my abdomen.
"The names bond. James bond" I whisper, staring straight into the mirror with a stern look. I then remember that I am in fact not alone in this house as I hear Niall snigger from outside my bedroom door. I ignore him, being the bigger person that I am, and get my bag ready for school. Maths, English, music, history, drama. Once I get maths out the way it's not a bad day to be honest. I definitely have worse. I hear the front door open and close again, that means Amy has left to walk with Sophie and that Alfie will be here in 7 minutes, giving me 2 minutes to brush my teeth, 3 minutes to put my coat shoes and bag on and 2 minutes to fix my hair before leaving. Yes I have my morning planned, don't come at me. I like being organized ok.

Oh my lord maths is boring. You wanna know why that's bad? Yeh you do. It's bad because when I'm bored I think too much. I think about all the things nobody knows. or at least, the things very few people know. I hate thinking about all that stuff because it is wayyyy too negative for my over-active imagination. i look down at my desk and see my empty bottle, turning my head to look at Alfie on the other side of the room, I have a mischievous grin on my face. Alfie shakes his head slightly because he's less keen on getting in trouble than me, but he grinning as well and that's good enough for me. Gripping it in my hand as if it's a javelin, i launch the bottle across the classroom, aiming perfectly so it lands on the desk right in front of alfie. suspicious of the noise, mr McKeegan (keego), our maths teacher, looked over at the bottle on alfie's desk.

"sorry sir, dropped my bottle" i said as i walked over to alfie's desk and casually picked up the bottle, keeping a straight face all the while. 

"make sure you don't 'drop' it again please Mr payne" keego retorted, putting his focus back onto the student he was helping. 

"sorry sir" i said innocently enough "i think i  might have less chance of dropping it if it's full, please may i go and fill it up?"

"if you must"

"cheers sir" I said walking out the classroom with a smirk on my face, time for me to cause some real disruption. I dawdled to the boys toilets at the end of the corridor, of which the deputy head, Mr Wood's, office was situated. I smiled at him cheerily as I walked past, knowing he wouldn't mind because I generally get on quite well with Mr wood. His name is Alex and he has two daughters who like one direction so, me being the cousin of Liam Payne, I've managed to get his kids a few signed items of merchandise. There's been a few times where Mr Woods has got me out of quite deep trouble so I guess I owe him my respect at the very least, and with respect he gets my banta so its a good job he can handle it. I filled my bottle half way and then made my way, dawdling, back to class and sat down in my seat; purposefully falling off as i did so, gaining a roar of laughter from my classmates and a glare from keego.

"sorry sir, I guess I misplaced my anus" I managed to say that sentence with a straight face as i arose from the floor and sat successfully on my chair. I received a sharp glare from Mr McKeegan before he continued to stare at his computer. I looked over at Alfie who was wondering what i had planned, it's rude to keep him wondering, lets get this shit started. I gripped my half full bottle in my hand, looked over my shoulder to see if keego was looking. He wasn't. I turned my focus to the open window next to Alfie and slowly aimed the bottle straight for it while considering the outcomes of what i'm about to do. If it goes wrong i could end up smashing a window and being excluded from school. If it goes right it'll be halerious, at least for me, it'll scare alfie half to death, annoy the hell out of keego and also maybe gain me a little respect from my classmates. Alfie had lost concentration on what i was doing now so i suddenly launched my bottle, aiming it to look like it would hit him right in the face, when it actual fact it flew perfectly through the air and out the window. Nevertheless, Alfie jumped out his skin and a small scream escaped his lips as all eyes looked at me, to Alfie, to the window, then back to me before various tones of laughing and sniggering came throughout the class. 

Mr McKeegan set his gaze to me and oh boy if looks could kill i would be a dead man turning in my grave right now "Matthew Payne get out of my classroom right now!" he ordered. I'd be stupid to ignore his orders to I casually rose from my seat and made my way out to the corridor.

A few moments later keego came out the classroom with my belongings and walked me to Mr Woods office where i was given a small table and a chair to sit on while i got on with the work i had chosen not to do in maths. This was where i was going to be for the rest of the day, meaning I'd miss drama and music. Great. I looked over at Mr Woods, debating whether to try and get myself out of here or to just deal with my punishment, he hadn't said anything to me so i think he's really annoyed with me this time. It's probably best if i just accept that i did wrong and 'learn' from my mistake.
