First Day, Detention
Shepard's POV
How I managed to get detention in the first day of school is beyond me. But of course, I find myself in here anyhow. I walked in the class, and it was actually pretty packed. Mr. Udina, my trig. teacher, was in charge of detention. He took role, and said we should work on homework. No one listened, and everyone engaged in conversations. I'm the new guy here, so I just sat in there, checking my messages on my omni-tool. Something hits my forehead. I look up to see what it was, and who threw it at me. It was a pad (1), and this girl was looking at me.
"Open it", she mouthed
I looked skeptically at the pad, but opened it anyways.
Hey, I'm Jack. Heard what happened earlier, it must've been fucking awesome ;)
I looked back up to see her grinning. I started typing in reply:
Alex. And if you already heard, then word gets around pretty quick around here
I threw it back at her. She opened it and read the message. While she was replying, I started reading this football try-outs flyer on the bulletin board I had been leaning against these past 20 minutes.
"Huh, I should definitely try out for this", I thought
The girl, Jack apparently, threw back the pad at my desk. I had gotten so wrapped up with my thoughts on what I would do at the try-outs that I completely forgot about the "conversation" we were having, and I nearly jumped when the pad slammed on my desk. Anyhow, I read it.
You know this passing back and forth is stupid, here's my number: 953-0496-37821, that way we don't look like total dumb asses anymore.
I had to laugh at that, mostly because now that I thought about it, it was actually quite true. I turned on my omni-tool and saved the number in my contacts. I then messaged her, again.
Alex _Shep: Here's our first official message :P
Jack: That's gay Shepard
Alex_Shep: What did u have in mind? That I'd reply "you've been messaged?"
Jack: …dumb ass
Alex_Shep: haha, so u know what I did to get detention, wat did u do?
Jack: I miraculously didn't do anything today, but I owe Udina detention from last year xD
Alex_Shep: Seriously?! What did u do to get that many detentions?
Jack: it depends, it's actually a long-ass list, from cursing to pulling pranks on him to beating up other people :)
Alex_Shep: lol remind me to stay on your good side then
"Alright, times up you delinquents, get out." Udina said to the class. Everyone pretty much rushed out, but I was in no hurry to get home, so I stuck around to wait for Jack. I waited outside the class though, since Udina had called her over. As she opened the door, all you can hear is Udina yelling, "That's another detention for you Jacqueline!" When he called her by that name, I stared at her, as I was a bit confused.
"It's Jack asshole!" she shouted back. She sure is…..expressive. I'll give her that.
"So," I started, "I take it you two are like archenemies or something?" She looked taken aback by my accent, I guess she didn't expect it. Not a lot of people from earth transfer to this high school. Most people on earth stay there, and almost never come to Eden Prime. I do miss London. The only reason I'm here is because of my parent's business, which is incredibly successful, I might add. It's why we are the number one competition of the Lawson Corp. The downside though is that I've been transferring from school to school for the past four years.
"Pfft, he's got a stick up his ass." I heard Jack say. She is making it a habit to interrupt my thoughts. From there we walked out the school, and went our separate ways. My dad went through the trouble of getting me my own apartment, aka penthouse, I know right? Pretty cool. I made myself a quick snack and hit the shower. I came out fifteen minutes later, got dressed in a plain gray shirt, boxers, and some black shorts. I didn't have any homework, so I started to draw instead. My first day was all over the place, but it was pretty good. I cooked up some dinner and ate. I brushed my teeth and went to bed. I sighed.
"If today was a good day, can't wait till tomorrow" I thought. And with that, went to sleep.
A/N hope you enjoyed the beginning :) I will try to upload longer chapters, bare with me lol :D
