My Strange Addiction

"Beep!"
I tried to turn off my alarm but surprisingly did not know where it was. It really pisses me off that now i have to wake up to go to school. I
So opened my eyes, got out of bed and turned off that stupid alarm that was on the floor. I

So I got prepared, took all my school stuffs and took a quick breakfast. I was not the type of person who liked to have breakfasts but I was forced to eat something in the morning by my mom or else she would say:" Neil, if you don't take a proper meal in the morning you'll not be able to concentrate in your lessons and you might collapse."

"I'm ready," I said to my mom, who was waiting.

We both got in her car and we were off to school.

When I got in Charleston high with my mom, I heard some guys commenting about her.

"Woah, Mrs. Bryant is so hot ," some will say while others would say that I was lucky to have such a cute mom. But seriously, I could not bear it. I did not like the idea of others seeing my mom as the "hot teacher".

Having your mother at your school sucks.

But anyway, I always acted like the whole 'hot mom thing' never bothered me. So I went in room 59, where I have English literature in the first period. I liked to be in class before anyone else.
But as I step in, I saw that someone else was there before me. And it was Noah. Noah was one of those guys who would laugh for nothing and who would always get scolded in class. But when he was alone, he was pretty shy.

"Hi," he said when he saw me.

I just smiled at him and got seated.

My literature class was okay but I was kind of tired this Monday and I was impatient to go back home. But I had six other classes awaiting for me before I could go back home. Anyway, am sure I was going to be alright. Today, Mrs. Audrey is checking if everyone did her home works and I was glad that I spent my time doing it last night.

"Psst," I was not sure if someone was calling me but when I looked back I saw Noah staring at me.

"Can you lend me your copy book so that I can pretend I did the work she gave? " Noah whispered to me.

"Why?" I asked.

"I will give it back to you when Mrs. Audrey will check your home works," he said. "Please?"

"Okay," I replied, giving him my copy book.

I was stressed. I did not want my teacher to think I did not do my home works and I did not want her to notice that I accepted to give my works to Noah.

Mrs. Audrey was now checking Noah's copybook. But well it was my copybook.

Luckily, Mrs. Audrey did not notice that it was mine and was now checking Olivia's home works before checking mine.

Noah was about to give me back my copy book but as he was doing so, Mrs. Audrey suddenly turned in our direction and saw what he was doing.
She looked at us for a long moment then she walked toward me.

"Can I have a look at your work, Neil?" She asked looking at the copy book in Noah's hand.

I did not know what to say. I wanted to say that my work was with Noah but we would both get into big trouble if do. In the other hand, I could just say that I did not do my home works and I'll be the only one getting trouble.
And that's what I did.

"I forgot to do the work you gave," I said.

I could see on my teacher's face that she was not glad to hear what I said. She turned to look at Noah and asked him:" Can I have a closer look at your copy book Noah?"

Noah and I both froze and Mrs. Audrey did not even wait for Noah to give her the copy book. She took it from him and looked on its cover. There was a huge 'Neil Bryant' written on it.

"Both of you have detention after school for the whole semester," she simply said.
