What'd You Burn Down

I wake up to see Jamie shaking my shoulder. I groan, pulling the covers over my head.

"We have classes in a few minutes, you have to get up," she tells me as I attempt to ignore her.

"There's food," she tries again. I pull the sheet from my head.

"Yessir I'm up." I sit up and swing my legs off the bed. She laughs at my sudden eagerness before going into the bathroom. I step onto the carpet and stretch my arms above my head. Picking up my phone, I see that it's 6:00. Way too fucking early.

Once I've gotten up, I wait for Jamie to leave the restroom so I can change. I don't want her seeing any of the bruises. Wait a minute, how can I go to class if I don't even have my schedule.

"Your turn!" Jamie calls out, startling me from my thoughts.

"Also, Mr. Davidson dropped a schedule off this morning." I nod my head; that solves one issue. I head into the bathroom with my clothes in hand.

Once I've changed into my high waisted black leggings and long sleeved grey shirt, I brush through my hair with my fingers and flop it to the side. I walk back to grab my glasses before heading to the kitchen area. Everyone is sitting at the table, eating pancakes. There's a fourth spot at the table which I sit at. A plate of two pancakes sits in front of it, but somehow, I don't feel hungry anymore. Nerves maybe. Bullshit. Eat some fucking pancakes.

I pick up the fork and start cutting the pancakes into pieces.

"Here's your schedule by the way," Jamie says as she passes me a sheet of paper. I nod, reading it over.

1st Period - Math - Room 1224
2nd Period - Science - Room 1326
3rd Period - History - Room 1128
4th Period - Gym/Health - Gymnasium
5th Period - Free Period
6th Period - Language Arts - 1424
7th Period - Creative Writing - 1424
8th Period - Anger Management Class - Guidance 3

"What the fuck?" I think aloud while I pause the cutting of my pancake as I read the 8th Period class again. They all turn to look at me but I ignore them. I wasn't supposed to get put in that fucking class. Such bullshit. Honestly, why the fuck would that idiot of a principle put me in that fucking class.

"Jamie, can you take me to the principle's office before class?" I ask, barely able to control my temper. Maybe you do need those anger management classes. Shut the fuck up. Point proven.

"Uh yeah of course. Any particular reason?"

"Just a wrong class." She nods her head, and I leave the table, dumping my uneaten breakfast down the drain before setting the plate by the sink. I head back to our room and grab my phone and headphones. When I get back, Jamie is waiting for me by the door. We leave and make our way to the area we had been in just a day earlier.

"Mr. Davidson?" She asks while knocking on the door.

"Come in," the muffled voice answers from the room. She pushes the door open and we walk in, a glare already present on my face.

"Ah, I figured you may come in," he says, not at all shocked.

"Is this about your schedule?" He asks. I grit my teeth before answering.

"Yes, specifically a class that I didn't ask to be in." He nods his head and adjusts his glasses.

"I understand you and your father don't want to be in the class, but I added it to your schedule; free of charge. It was requested by the board of education that you're um," he stops and thinks about his word choice as I cross my arms across my chest.
