Tuesday wasn't any better than Monday. I still had three more days till weekend and besides, I was always so busy on Tuesdays and trust me, it sucks. The dumb schedule didn't favour me at all and Tuesday's timetable was the worst.
Why can't everyday be Saturday?
Oddly, I woke up earlier than normal. My eyes were wide open before the alarm. It was still a few minutes before the normal time and I was too lazy to get out of bed so I spent my time rolling over what happened the day before.
Went to school as usual, sat down for boring classes, went to work. The only eventful thing that happened was the incident in math class. I wondered what would've happened if the sweater slipped off and my thigh was left on display. If that happened, trust me, I wouldn't step a foot in that school till a month or two. I would patiently wait at home till one of the popular kids dump another one and they become the school's gist. Though, some people would stare but they would be too busy talking about the new trending topic.
My thoughts we're cut short l when I heard shuffling from my mother's room. She was waking up.
I didn't waste any more time. I sprinted to the bathroom, took off my clothes and went beneath the shower. Once I was done, I wore a big green T-shirt that once belonged to my dad. I loved the comfort I got from it so I kept it deep in my closet. I wore blue jeans and a pair of converse.
I couldn't afford to go through the door downstairs so I had no other choice than to go for the window. I placed one foot on the edge and_
SMASH!!
A big brown bottle of beer hit the wall right beside me. It shattered into pieces and the brown liquid stained my wall. So much for trying to keep the room clean and spotless.
"Darling" She started in a very calm voice "We're you planning on leaving without preparing breakfast for your lovely mother?" I knew that voice better than I knew my name. The lower the voice, the more dangerous she could be. She was a total psycho.
She took slow and steady steps forward. I understood her techniques and she definitely was about to lunge herself at me. To delay that, I plastered my back to the wall and started living towards the door.
"I'm sorry"
"No need for apologies sweetie" She laughed "For every mistake, there's a punishment"
When I was close to the door, I pulled it open and started sprinting towards the stairs. I could hear her huge feet hitting the wooden floor with every step she made.
I didn't make it to the third stair when her hand reached for my hair and she pulled me back with it.
You guessed it right, hurts like a bitch.
After I felt my butt hit a stair, I pulled her down with me. She fell right behind me and took her hand away from my hair. I used the opportunity and ran for my dear life. It wasn't until I reached the last stair that I figured out my backpack was still upstairs.
Come on, life! Now is not the right time!
As I turned to make my way back upstairs, I felt her hand hut my right cheek. I heard the slap echo in my head before I came back to my senses.
"Darling, this wouldn't be painful if you just told me where my meal is" She said, slowly descending from the stairs. I pointed at the counter top and she made her way towards it. I sprinted upstairs immediately and locked my bedroom door.
The truth is, there wasn't food in those plates. She used the same plates to eat this morning and left it there. I didn't understand how she fell for that dumb trick.
"You lied" I heard a bang on the door "That isn't a good way to treat you mother Diana"
Ignoring her speech, I headed to the bathroom and splashed cold water on my face. I washed the make up off and applied a new layer.
I could feel a headache forming already but the first aid kid was downstairs and I couldn't risk opening that door.
My clothes we're already dirty from the dust on the staircase and the little stain from the beer on the wall. I took them off and placed it in the laundry basket. I changed to black leggings and a white sweater. I wore a pair of black boots and took my bag. There was only one way out of the house and it was through the window. I took my backpack and headed to the window.
It's now or never.
I jumped on the first branch of the tree with my bag on my back. The branch was far from the ground so I couldn't jump down. I jumped to another branch and it broke immediately. I fell on my butt.
Again
I stood up after seconds of resting on the ground. I couldn't even feel my butt anymore.
*~*~*~*~
I got to school at exactly nine fourteen. A minute to first period. I ran to my locker and pulled out my calculus textbooks and notes. The bell rang and the students flooded the hallway. I waited a bit for them to leave since the calculus teacher never got to class early. Almost all the students were gone before I noticed Dylan walking towards my direction.
How cliche could this be?
I knew I was done with getting my books from the locker but I didn't want on make him feel he could get all the attention in the world so I acted like I was searching for something. I went through all the books one after the other like I was actually looking for something. It was then I noticed,
My locker was a complete mess.
How come I never saw this? My books were not properly arranged and papers we're sticking out of everywhere.
Dylan would make fun of me if he saw this and I would be termed as paper girl or something. Curse the fact I couldn't notice things around me.
I slammed the locker shut when he was just a foot or two in front of me. My eyes met his and he threw me one of his silly winks.
Who am I kidding? I've not seen a wink as good as that in a while.
I rolled my eyes in return and made my way to class
Just like i'd predicted, the calculus teacher was not in class. He was always late and that was an advantage for the students. It was an opportunity to have a small chat before class.
I wasn't one of those who had that free opportunity because I didn't have anyone to chat with. Normally, I'd just walk up to my seat and stare at people say things to each other. However, sometimes I got lucky enough to hear some of the trending topics in school.
For instance, I just heard a girl say she had something with Finn yesterday and it was the best day of her life.
My thoughts we're cut short when the calculus teacher walked into the class. He was wearing a suit as usual but this time it was a silver one. Everyone knew him for the fact that he wore suits wall the time. The only difference was the change in colour.
I'd never really owned a suit before and I didn't want one at all. I mean, I couldn't wear underwear, a shirt, tie and then top it up with a jacket.
*~*~*~*~*~
It was finally my favourite time of the day.
Lunch break.
I could walk around without breakfast or dinner but I couldn't afford to miss lunch. I could feel a smile appear on my face when I heard the bell. First, the English teacher was about to give us an assignment but she couldn't because her time was over and second, I was going to meet the love of my life. Food.
What could possibly make this day worse.
I packed my books and headed towards my locker. The hallway was crowded again but with my petit figure, I could go through anything. I found my way to my locker and I noticed people move away from me.
Some had smiles on their faces, some were chuckling and others were looking at me like I lost my family. I didn't get this amount of attention on a normal day, something was wrong somewhere.
It wasn't my time of the month so I couldn't have blood on me and even if I did, the sweater would be covering that.
Can someone just tell me what's going on?
Either ways, I was not going to let them ruin my lunchtime. I opened my locker and
BOOM!!
That's why.
A bright red thick liquid splashed on my body. I couldn't open my eyes because my face was covered with ketchup. My books fell on the ground beside me before I brought my hands up to my face and wipe some away.
I heard echoes of laughter around me. I'd never felt so embarrassed in my entire life. I was the center of attention, they were all laughing at me.
I'd seen people get pranked before but never had I thought It was going to be my fate.
"Oh my God" I heard Dylan Laugh beside me "Your facial expression is priceless. I should've kept caramel instead" He said between his laughs.
Of course, he did this.
"You got her there, dude" Toby said from somewhere in the crowd. He was also laughing his butt off.
"You know" he walked closer "I would hug you but I don't want ketchup on me now. Try not to cry baby"
I smiled in return, something I did when I knew I was going to get back at someone ten times harder.
He looked confused for a second before covering it up with laughter.
*~*~*~*~*~
"So let me get this straight" luke said "he pranked you?"
"Yes Luke for the tenth time. Can you just help me plan the revenge. I'm sick and tired if the questions"
"Fine. I'll tell you but only if you promise to get me pancakes"
"Okay. Just tell me the plan already"
"So the plan is.... "
The ringing of the alarm clock woke me up. It was 6 sharp and the skies we're still a bit dark from the rain that fell earlier this morning. I loved the rain, it was a reminder that the world still had good things in it. It was also a reminder that I needed a damn heater.I pulled the sheets off me and placed my feet on the cold floor.First, I got pranked by a rich brat for doing absolutely nothing. I had to walk to the girls toilet yesterday with people starring and laughing at me. I got everyone's attention yesterday and it was the worst thing I thought would happen to me besides dying.It was the first time I got pranked and the first time I was humiliated in front of teenagers. Before yesterday, I didn't know how being humiliated was but I understood that feeling and it was really bad.I had no idea how I would walk into that school without getting stares. People would po
Luke couldn't stop laughing and neither could I.I'd been laughing about it all day and it didn't seem to go old to me. It was the most hilarious prank in Bluefalls because the king himself fell a victim of it. It only became funnier when he was walking down the hallway with pink dye all over him.I'd never been so satisfied in my whole life.Who knew a locker prank could be so funny? I'd seen numerous locker pranks but it was by far the funniest I experienced. It definitely left a mark on Bluefalls because no one dared pull a prank on him but guess what?I don't give a spoon.If he even dared to pull another prank on me, I'd do the same and we might be the first people to start a prank war in Bluefalls."You would laugh your butt off if you saw the expression on his face. He was far beyond shocked." I said "S
You know the moment when you wake up and you just want to rest from the entire night of rest.That was the only was I could describe my it. I was more than comfortable. It felt like my body was against marshmallows and I was covered with cotton candy. The way I wanted my life to be.Filled with sugar with a sprinkle of a good social life.However, the moment got ruined when I remembered I slept on a bench the night before.I slowly opened my eyes and hoped I was kidnapped my Joeboy.The room was oddly empty and plain. The sheets, just like I'd expected were fluffy and soft. A perfect description of my body muscles.It scent was, however, familiar. I couldn't recognize it bit damn, it was good. It had the sweet and slightly strong scent with a hint of mint. One thing I knew was that it was familiar but I didn't bother trying
Pranking Dylan made me popular.While walking down the hallway, people sent me random 'Hi's and 'Hey's and being the idiot I was, I smiled back or returned it with a nod but that was until I got used to it. I couldn't walk in school without sending greetings to people I didn't know. It got so good, some of the football players and cheerleaders smiled at me like I won the Nobel prize. They made it look like I saved them from doom which I did if I might add.At least, from Dylan's pranks.It was funny I got friends in just a week. Well, not real friends actually. They just did it to make sure they we're friends to the legend that pranked Dylan.The best thing was that for the first time in my life, I got invited to a party.Lisa was a cheerleader just like Cassandra but with not as much bitchyness. Just like the rest, she also sen
I wasn't willing to go to school so I stayed on my bed, buried beneath the sheets and also in self pity.It was a cold Monday morning and my mom was luckily not in the house. Actually, she was minutes ago but she had no idea I was in the house. Probably because I'd been in the same position as I was when i woke up.I hated school for being a bitch on her own and it only got worse because I was db enough to slap Dylan. Not that I regretted the fact I caused him pain, believe me I couldn't care less, I just hated the fact it was going to be the school's trending topic. Mostly because the schools news stations, Amelia and Dylan's goons, we're present during the incident.I seriously could've just kissed him. It was just a dumb kiss and I was dumb enough to have chickened it all up. I could've been relieved if it was just me and Dylan because there was absolutely no way he was going to spread the news he got reje
"Your mom?""Yeah" I laughed to release the tension in the air but it definitely didn't work. He was still starring at me like I said something against his family."Why?""She kinda gets all" I gulped "Mad at times but it's sometimes my fault. She just wants the best for me""And she does that by hitting you? That's bullshit""She's just a strict disciplinarian. That's all""This isn't discipline, it's torture""No it's not" I said "You know what? Just forget all about this. Let's act like it never happened. Just drive me back home and let things be the way they were""We both know that's impossible""It's not. All we have to do is to erase this""We'll do that after we get to my house""Excuse you" I said as he tried to hold unto my ha
What the hell is wrong with this kid?Must he ensure my life is a living hell?Even if he had just one drop of dignity left in him, he should've known that pranking me with all I told him is not only a dumb thing to do but it only shows how heartless he could be.Yes, I told him it wasn't his business but was it?For a moment, just a moment, I thought he had little humanity in him. The way he cared when i told him about it, it almost looked like he truly had a heart in him but this only proves he's a total dickhead.If I had a chance to, I'd hit him on the bead repeatedly with a steel chair."What's wrong Diana?!" He yelled from the other side of the classroom "You stuck to your chair?!''I got stares immediately. It was like they'd been expecting it. Well, I wouldn't blame them, the jerk wouldn
Natasha got to know us more during lunch. To be honest, she was the sweetest being I'd ever met and I didn't understand why people choose to hurt the sweetest ones. I knew she didn't want me interfering in she and Ryan's stiff but deep down, I wanted to walk up to him and give him a punch to remember.I never associated myself with him but I'd heard how much of a asshole he was. He didn't prank as much as Dylan did but he had a mouth. He could make gold look as bad as mud with that mouth of his. I wouldn't say I completely hated him because we didn't have many classes together and he didn't pay attention to me. Hearing that he bullied someone as soft as Nat truly made him the asshole they called him.Either ways, I still want money."As I was saying" Mrs Payne said. Sometimes her name was more of pain than Payne. Her voice sounded like she was screaming. Geez. She made me hate English.
