Chapter 1 "Trouble
I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock ringing, I can’t believe it’s the first day of school already. Summer passed way too quickly and I’m dreading going back to school. I'm one year older than the rest of my classmates and I’m barely passing my classes plus, the teachers hate me. I don’t blame them, I’m known as the troublemaker of the school who picks fights for no reason.
I got up and wore my black cargo pants with a black pair of boots and a tight black crop top, I brushed my hair slid on my backpack and jumped on my motorcycle.
My dad got me the motorcycle for my 17th birthday, he’s traveling a lot and he wanted me to have a way to get around, it is a Kawasaki ninja 400. I got my license a little after he got me the bike. I love riding is and I must say girls love seeing me on it. I like speeding on it and I’ve had a few accidents before but nothing too serious, a few scratches and a fracture on my arm, my dad has no idea because he is never around.
I got to school at 7.50 and I only had 10 minutes to get my schedule and go to my first class, shit I won’t have time to talk to Izzy or Ed.
Izzy and Ed have been my best friends for 4 years now, we met in my second freshman year and we’ve been inseparable since then, but I still haven’t felt comfortable sharing certain part of my life with them.
I rushed to the front office and grabbed my schedule, my first class was on the other side of the building and it was Algebra. Shit, I only had 5 minutes to get there, which meant I had to run.
I start running through the hallway and as I turn to make my way to the class I bump full force into someone. I fall butt first to the ground and she does the same. I look at her and she’s hot, but pissed, the coffee she was holding has spilled on her and she was on the ground.
-“Jesus, are you blind? Watch where you are going” She said annoyed
-“I’m sorry” I stood up and gave her my hand to help her but she didn’t bother, she stood up on her own and gave me a death glare.
-“Thank you for ruining my clothes, how am I supposed to walk around like this” She hissed, she was right, her white blouse was stained and it was stuck on her, giving me a perfect outline of her chest. She noticed I was staring and cleared her throat.
-“I gotta go” I said and walked past her, I got to my math class 5 minutes late, the teacher let me in but gave me a warning. I sat at the only available desk at the front and waited for the bell to ring.
The bell rang and I flew our of the classroom to go find my friends.
-“Cam” Izzy yelled and hugged me “Why do you smell like coffee?”
-“Ugh I had the worst morning, I was late and as I was running to my class I bumped into a hottie in the hallway, we both fell down and her coffee spilled.”
-“Damn” she laughed “Did you at least get her name?”
-“Nope, I was late for math, I apologized and left her there”
-“What a gentleman, anyway, let me see your schedule” “Oh we have English, Economics and PE together”
-“So the only one I’m on my own is Math. Great, What about Ed?”
-“I haven’t seen him yet, he is probably with this guy he met the other day”
-“He met someone? That’s great who is it?”
-“I don’t know, he won’t tell me”
-“Classic”
-“I heard we have a new English teacher this year” She grinned
-“Oh really? We should welcome him, with a prank.
-“I was thinking the same thing, but what prank?”
-“Let’s go economics and we can think there” On our way to the class I was thinking of ways we could prank the new teacher. I had a few good ones and as we sat down I started whispering my ideas to Izzy.
-“How about we turn all the desks and chairs upside down and move his out of the class.”
-“I think that’s going to piss him off enough” She chuckled.
-Great, so after economics it’s lunch break then PE and then English, we will get out of PE earlier and hope his classroom is unlocked and empty.”
-“Sounds good”
The rest of the class was boring, so Izzy and I chatted a little. At lunchbreak we went at the cafeteria, we sat at one of the tables and Ed joined us.
-“Long time no see, how did your one on one the with the mysterious guy went?” I joked
-“It went great, he is such a nice guy” He was smiling like an idiot.
-“So I assume you got some” I laughed and he rolled his eyes.
-“Is it that obvious?”
-“YES” Izzy and I said in unison. We noticed someone approaching us.
-“Oh I didn’t know the school’s faggots were having a meeting” Jack said.
-“Fuck off dude” I said
-“You are too pretty to be a lesbian” he winked at me and I fake gagged.
-“And you are too dumb to be a human” I replied
-“Whatever dyke” he scoffed and left
We ate in silence and went to the locker room to change for PE, thankfully Ed had PE and English with us, we told him about our prank and he agreed to help. I wore a pair of Nike shorts and a Nike t-shirt, Izzy wore a pair of leggings with an oversized t-shirt. We met Ed the gym and waited for the teacher, when she came in she noticed the three of us and rolled her eyes.
-“I don’t want any issues today Thompson”
-“We’ll behave miss” I said
-“Split up into two equal teams, we are practicing basketball.” Me and my friends stayed on the side so that we didn’t get picked, and we didn’t. Ms. Williams let us sit on the bench, that way we wouldn’t have to shower and we could go straight away to the English class.
When she dismissed us we rushed to the class and it was unlocked and empty, Izzy kept an eye on the hallway while Ed and I flipped all the desks upside down, he then helped me carry the teachers desk and chair in the middle of the hallway, we made our way out of the class 5 minutes before the bell rang, we quickly changed into our clothes and went back to the class, students were entering the room giggling, they all seem to understand and enjoy the prank, the bell rang and the teacher was nowhere to be seen, It was probably some old guy who needed 20 minutes to move a few meters.
The door opened and a familiar brunette barged in, she looked around and cleared her throat.
-“What’s this?”
-“It’s an art project” I blurted and Izzy continued with
-“Ok I like it Picasso”
They whole classroom started laughing and so did we.
-“Everyone flip their desk and chair now” She yelled and the laughter died a little. “What are you waiting for? I said now” She hissed and everyone rushed to turn them, except from us, we took our time turning them.
-“Why are you three taking so long?”
-“I guess the desks are to heavy for us” Izzy said in an innocent tone and the brunette squinted her eyes. By the time we flipped our desks everyone was already sitting down, she was looking around, probably searching for her desk.
-“Where’s my desk?” She was fuming, nobody answered. “Alright then, you either tell me where the desk is and bring it back or you just earned yourselves after-school detention on the first day”
-“I think I saw it in the hallway” a girl said in a low tone and I chuckled a little. Two guys got up and went to bring it back in. When everything was back to its place she went in front of the class. She was tapping her leg up and down and had her arms crossed, her eyes held an angry look. My eyes traveled on her body and I notices she was now wearing a black blouse instead of the white one, she must have gone home and changed.
-“Now that everything’s settled I would like to know who is responsible for this ridiculous prank?” “You are not children anymore, most of you if not all are adults, better start acting like it” No one spoke.
“If no one steps forward, the hole class will be held accountable, don’t be the reason you classmates miss out on school events.”
-“And what will happen to the person that did it?”
-“He or she will get punished for it” I thought about it and I didn’t want to be the reason my classmates and friends got punished. I nudged Izzy’s arm
-“What?”
-“I’ll take the blame”
-“Are u sure?”
-“Yes”
-“I’ll ask for the last time, Who did this” I got up and she turned to look at me.
-“I did it” I admitted, no one seemed surprised.
-“Stay after class” She hissed and went on with the lesson, she didn’t even introduce herself. By the time she started the lesson there were only 30 minutes left.
It didn’t take long for the bell to rang, my friends patted my back and wished me good luck, I sat at the chair in front of her desk. She waited for the class to empty and got up and closed the door, she sat back at her desk and looked at me. I looked at her and then looked down, her gaze was piercing.
-“What’s your name?”
-“Camilla Thompson”
-“First you ruing my clothes and then my class”
-“I wouldn’t have done it if I knew you were the teacher” I smiled
-“Do you think this is funny Ms. Thompson?” she frowned and I shook my head no. “Didn’t think so”
-“I’m sorry”
-“I know you are not, so cut it off, I’ve heard quite a lot of things about you, all bad of course, so I know what to expect. You are suspended for the next two days”
-“What? Are you serious? It was just a prank” I yelled, she couldn’t be serious.
-“I’m serious, now let’s go and inform the principal and then you are free to go” I groaned and got up, I followed her and she suddenly stopped causing me to bump onto her again.
-“Ouch” I groaned rubbing my forehead
-“You really don’t watch where you are going?” she said and I could sense some amusement in her tone.
-“I’m sorry, I was distracted”
-“What could possibly get you distracted in the hallway?”
-“The fact that I messed up the first day of school and now I’m getting suspended by my new English teacher who hates me already” She sighed and looked at me. I put on a sad expression and puppy eyes.
-“Stop it”
-“Stop what?” I played dumb
-“Looking at me like that, I wasn’t expecting the infamous Camilla Thompson to beg for forgiveness”
-“Well the infamous Camilla Thompson would like to graduate this year and not be 20 and still in High school” I replied and she smiled a little.
-“You are nineteen?”
-“Yep”
-“You are immature for your age”
-“Thank you, I’ve been told before”
-“Whatever, I won’t suspend you, you are right it’s already sad that you are nineteen and still go to school being twenty in high school would be just pathetic. However, you have detention with me for the rest of the week.”
-“Oh god thank you, that’s so much better” I exhaled in relief
-“We’ll see” She gave me a devilish smirk and turned around and left. I went to the parking lot and Izzy was waiting for me.
-“Bro, what happened?”
-“Well, she wanted to suspend me for two days but I talked my way out of it and instead I she gave me detention for the rest of the week.”
-“Suspend you? That seems too much for a prank”
-“Well, she’s strict and bitchy oh and was already mad at me, she was the girl I bumped onto this morning.”
-“Oh shit bro, out of all people her? And I could tell she’s not to be messed with”
-“Well, now she hates me”
-“Shit bro, that sucks”
-“It does” I replied and wore my helmet and rode my bike. We said our goodbyes and I went home, the house was empty as always, I cooked some pasta, ate, did my homework and decided to go for a ride before taking a shower and going to bed.
I got on my bike and drove around for about twenty minutes, I ended up in a street I haven’t seen before and decided to turn back because it was getting late. When I got home I parked my bike in the garage, and made sure all doors were locked before taking a shower, I went to bed at around 10.3 but I couldn’t fall asleep, todays events kept flowing my mind. I was a handful at school today, I should try to behave in her class otherwise she’ll fail me. I set an alarm for tomorrow at 7.15 and forced my eyes shut.
