Love Is Dangerous

C5

"So, how much fun is it to help the principal out everyday?" Jackson asks as we were all sitting at our table for lunch.

I shook my head. "It's not fun at all." Working for Sana was a nightmare, and I hated every bit of it. It's only been three days with her, but it felt like a month. It's weird to be in the same room with her because of our unfortunate meeting a few days ago.

I can't seem to wrap my brain around the fact that I slept with her not even four days ago. I don't understand why she decided to make my punishment to where we have to see each other for a week, when she was freaking out that first day she found out who I was.

It makes no sense.

"Well, it's the price you pay when you beat someone up." Jackson says before he takes a bite from his salad.

I sigh. "I did not beat him up. I punched him." I clarified.

He shrugs. "What's the difference?"

I shook my head. This whole school is nothing but rumor spreading stupid ass teenagers, who basically feed off of made-up rumors from other students. It's stupid, and I hate it here. I'm praying that these next few months will go by so damn fast so I can get the hell away from here.

I look around at everyone who was sitting at their designated tables, with their specific friends. How truly idiotic everyone is when it comes to school, and everything about the system.

"Tzuyu," Momo grabs my attention. "I was wondering if you wanted to come hang out with me and Jackson after school?" She asks. "When you're done helping Mrs. Minatozaki, of course."

I cringe when I hear Mrs. Minatozaki. I hate hearing everyone call her that, because I sure as hell don't call her that and it makes it even weirder when the fact is, I slept with her. The other reason for it being weird, is the fact that she's married and lied about it that night.
Which I have yet to figure out.

"Um," I started. "I'll see if I can."

She nods. "Yeah, ask your mom or dad. I'm pretty sure they wouldn't care."

I slowly nod as I look down at the table for a moment. "Yeah." I say.

"Speaking of your mom and dad, when are we ever going to meet them?" Jackson asks. I look up at him as he was staring at me. "I mean, we never met them and we've been friends for years. Why?"

I shrug. "I just don't like introducing them to anyone."

Jackson stares at me as if he was trying to figure me out. "Or is it because they're embarrassing?" He questions.

I nod. "Yeah, that's it." I lied.

He chuckles. "Girl, don't even worry because you already met mine."

I slightly smile as I watch them both for a moment. I felt the guilt start at me again, and as much as I hated lying to them, I knew that telling the truth would be a lot worse.

I lean my head back and groan. Boredom was eating me alive and I couldn't take it anymore. I was slowly starting to go insane and I wasn't sure on how much longer I would last.

"I'm bored." I groan.

I heard a few papers, then Sana's voice. "Don't start." I heard her say as I lean my head up to look at her. She was sitting at her desk, doing her work, and I was sitting in this shitty desk with nothing to do.

"I'm bored." I say again as I watch her look over at me.

She stares at me for a moment. "I heard you, and what do you want me to do about it?" She asks.
