I took my usual seat in the back corner, far away from the line of fire that always seemed to follow Mr. Montgomery's gaze. I tried to disappear into the safety of my textbook, but his piercing blue eyes seemed to find me anyway, as if daring me to challenge him once more.
"Ah, Miss Taylor, how lovely of you to grace us with your presence," Mr. Montgomery quipped, his tone dripping with sarcasm as he glanced up from his papers. "I trust you've come prepared to dazzle us with your unparalleled enthusiasm for Shakespeare?"
I resisted the urge to roll my eyes, opting instead for a tight-lipped smile that did little to disguise my annoyance. "Of course, Mr. Montgomery," I replied, my voice dripping with equal parts sarcasm and defiance. "I live for the thrill of dissecting centuries-old plays written in a language I can barely understand."
Mr. Montgomery's lips twitched in amusement, a hint of a smirk playing at the corners of his mouth. "Ah, a true lover of literature, I see," he remarked, his tone teasing. "Well, let's see if we can't expand your horizons a bit today, shall we?"
This sucks.' I thought as I dozed off through the lesson. Out of all the places I could've been sent to. I was sent to THIS class.
Someone cleared their throat from behind me and I internally groaned as I turned around. I came face-to-lower stomach and I moved my gaze upward to a somewhat angry face.
"Can I not help you?" I asked,
"Your in my seat." The boy said and I scoffed,
"No its not." I said my tone dripping with attitude.
"Yeah it is." He pressed on and I leaned back in the chair.
"I don't see you're here." I say,
"Top corner on the table and right-side up on the chair." He said and B.L. was there.
"That's clearly the name of someone else." I said, crossing my arms. His lip twitched upward.
"That stands for Blaze Lancester." He said,
"Well, I've never heard of Blaze Lancester." I say, smiling,
"My name IS Blaze Lancester." He said,
"Well then I guess you should stop writing on the school's property." As those words left my mouth, all of hell broke loose.
