Chapter 1
As I walk into class, I already knew that Marc was going to cause trouble.
He sits there, his arms crossed and his feet up. He looks so smug I wanna crush it. But I just roll my eyes at him, as I take my equipment out of my bag ready to study before the test, Marc comes over to me and throws my books onto the floor. I stand up and grab his collar aggressively, "What was that for?!" He chuckles and says, "No need to get so angry, I was just messing with you. Chilli pepper." I let go and I breathe out as I pick up my books. I was used to him being like this but it's so annoying! I glare at him as I sit back down. I start writing in my textbook but I sense Marc staring at me, I turn my head and say, "What do you want?" He chuckles and says, "You look hilarious while being serious!" He laughs. I put my middle finger up to him and I continue studying.
When class starts, I feel something get thrown at the back of my head. I turn around and see Marc and his friends laughing. It was a pencil, I glare at him and throw it back.
The teacher shouted at us to stand outside. When we both stand outside, I say, "Why did you do that?!"
"It's funny." He says.
I roll my eyes and he says, "Aw are you angry with me?" I grab him by the collar again and says,
"Can you just shut up?"
He says, "What if I said no?" I let go of him and lean against the wall. The teacher comes out to talk to us and then we go back in.
Me and Marc have hated each other since we were 6 years and we are 16 now. 10 years of hating each other. That's how it's always been. It all started when it was my first day of school in 1st grade. When I was all alone at break time, Marc came up to me and asked if I wanted to be friends with him. I agreed but him and his friends started to humiliate me every day after that.
It's finally break time and as I am walking to the canteen, suddenly Marc pushes me from behind and I fall into the floor infront of everyone. Him and his friends laugh like hyenas, I stand up and punch him. Marc punches me back and then we end up having a fist fight.
We got sent to the principal's office and they called our mothers into school. The worst part is that our mother's are best friends. We also had a fight every week so far. They aren't very happy at all with that.
We walk into the principal's office and we see our mothers sat there furiously. We sit down and then my mom says,
"Why can't you two just get along? You are 16 now! You need to get some maturity!"
I say, "But Mom, he started it! I was just minding my own business when he decides to push me over."
She rolls her eyes and says, "I'm not having it Asher! You two have fights every single week."
I look down and say, "I'm sorry Mom!"
She stands up and says, "We will have a talk at home." And she walks out.
