Watch your back

chapter 7

Another day of school commences like usual but this time im actually keen to go to school.Ever since niall told me he wanted to talk to me thoughts of what it is crowd my mind. Its period 2 now so i shall be able to talk to him soon. I take my phone out to look at the time and quickly put it back in so i dont get caught. About 5 seconds after ive checked I realise i didnt even remember the time! I swear I aways do that, i mustnt be the only one to do that right? I sneakily get it out and see i have a message notification from niall.I check for the teacher to see shes not looking and open the lockscreen, i click the message app and am about to read the message..

"Melody! give me your phone now! you know about the new phone policy no phones out at anytime unless given permission."

"Miss please i was only checking the time,you know I never have it out"

" yeh, yeh thats what they all say. You know how it goes, collect the phone from Mr carson lunch 1."

"Yeah whatever, thanks miss!" My voice is full of sarcasm and a little attitude. Miss obviously picks up on it and looks down at me crossly as she does showcasing her 5 double chins.

"Thats strike 1 missy" with that she walks away with her big butt continuing to stroll around the classroom invading everyones privacy by checkng up from behind there backs. Does she really expect me to be happy towards her when she just confiscated my phone and making me go to our head teachers classroom.

I sigh in defeat and look at my worksheet which seems impossible to complete with my brain which is the size of a peanut. I search around the room to see if anyone is on the same page and you know what I see? Some guy on his thrigen mobile phone texting away without even a hint of attention from anyone. This is a fucking joke! I had mine for 2 seconds and its taken away so now I have to waste my lunchtime being lectured!

Frustration and anger clouds my mind as I remember what was at lunch 1. My talk with Niall! Hes going to think i stood him up and never talk to me. Out of all times I couldve been in trouble it had to be now. Just my luck.

For the rest of class I sit silently watching the clock tick and just to mention that guy is still on his phone! lucky bastard.

As soon as the bell rings everyone races out the classroom like a stampede of animals and this time I actually rush aswell instead of waiting back like I usually do Im trying to save as muxh time as I possibly can.

It doesnt take long until I make it to the big, red, scary door thatt belongs to the Mr Carson. Hes the teacher everyone avoids and never see him smiling or laughing. I drect my knuckle towards the door and knock twice. ' come in"booms Mr Carsons deep voice.

I slowly open the door and step into the cold room.

'so kid, what did you do?" his voice sounds flat and dull like always.

"I may have had my phone for a bit.." His face drops in disappointment. I can feel a lecture coming my way.

"You kids these days all live on your stupid phones instead of learning! Theyre taking over society and we will all be darned in the future with you squared sight nimrods staring at screens all day. In my day you worked hard and got a job and went out side with friends instead of staying cooped up inside" so he did have friends once.. interesting.

"Okay sir but I swear it was only out for 2 seconds, i was just checking the time." he still doesnt seem impressed unfortunately.

"That excuse doesnt work, theyre are clocks in every classroom!" spit flies out of his mouth as he speaks landing on my face. I disgustedly wipe it away quickly.

'Okay im sorry then ill use the clock next time, can i please leave and have my phone now?" He thankfully reaches into his junk drawer and hands me my precious phone.

"This is a warning, next time your parent has to pick it up"

"Okay that wont happen though, bye" I quickly head to the door hoping I dont get another punnishment.

"Oh and melonie , you have a detention with me tomorrow afternoon" I turn and give him an obvious fake smile, I spoke to soon!.

"Im looking forward to it now, have a good lunch!" with a huff i leave the room heading to where im supposed to meet Niall. Im nearly there before i hear a few angry voices around the corner. I sneakily poke my head around the corner gaining full view of the people that were talkng, well more like yelling. Harry and 2 of his friends are standing around a blonde boy who I can barely see. Ive got a good idea that its Niall.

"Do you think your tough little guy! trying to be the hero and standing up to me!I will always beat you, im everywhere you are and could break your face any moment just with the click of my fingers." What assholes they are thiinking they control everyone, its disgusting. Harry looks to his 2 mates with a scary smile on his face.

"I say we give him a little taste of what could happen, agree boys?"

"Definitely" "certainly agree"

"Watch this magic trick and believe me its not an illusion Niall" Harry looks to his friends with an evil smirk on his face.

Harry raises his finger and clicks them together. What is he doing? Both boys lunge at the defenseless Niall. Each takes a powerful punch to his stomach. Derek raises his fist ready to pack a powerful punch that i cant bare to watch. Before i can think about it Im infront of them screaming to stop.

"Look what the cat dragged in, welcome my friend. Have you come back for a continuation of yesterday?"

"leave him alone harry, youve had your fun and hurt Niall whose done nothing to you.Grow up and stop acting like your top shit. Your gonna get nowhere in life like this so wake up from your pathetic life." Harrys about to say something while his two minion bullies stand there stupidly like always but i begin speaking before he has a chance.

"And for youse two I think you need to get a life and stop being harrys bitches. Your mothers mustnt have raised you right because only criminals fight defensleless people, you could be better than this but you choose to act tough when really your just weak and scared so you hide behind harry." They both stare at me in shock and silence.

"Thats enough! those words mean nothing to us, we dont care what pathetic scum like you two think of us and Watch your mouth otherwise ill force it closed."

"Please leave now harry, youve had your fun and hurt me, we will be quiet" nialls weak voice comes from below.

"Im done wasting my lunch on you ugly idiots. Have a fun pity party by yourselves." harry begins to leave but turns back and spits on the ground in an attempt to hit us. He walks away in a trail like a kid having a tantrum because he didnt get what he wanted.

"oh dear this is horrible Niall I had no idea this was happening to you aswell." His face has been hit twice shown by bruising developing on his face and hes holding his stomach in agony.

"Ill be fine, you shouldnt have spoken up Melonie, harry is so angry and hes gonna get you back."Nialls face looks at me with worry.

"Lets not worry about that, let me help you up and get you hepled".

"Umm do you need any help?" I look up in shock. No way.

DEREK. Harrys minion is standing there with guilt covering his face.
