Ch.4 Mikayla's POV

"I'm glad you decided to join us Mr. Clearwater, and I see you brought us a new student, though I'm not very impressed that your delinquency has rubbed off on her already," said the science teacher, Mr. Mason. What delinquency? He seems like a good kid to me. O.M.G. why is he shaking?

"Seth, are you ok?" I asked.

"Amazing" he said, his voice dripping with acidity.

"Can I sit with you?" I asked.

"Ok" He said, cheering up immediately.

"Miss Stevens, are you sure you want to sit next to him?" Mr. Mason asked. Why does Mr. Mason hate Seth?

"Yes, I'm sure" I replied.

"Fine, it's your choice"

"I sit back here," Seth said to me.

"Why do you sit all the way in the back?" I asked.

"I don't know, it's just where he told me to sit when I switched here" He responded.

"Was this before or after your first fight?" said a snobby looking blonde.

"Why don't you mind your own business?" I said confidently, hoping to move her attention from him to me.

"Oh, so, the new girl has spunk. You're gonna need it, trust me" She said with said snidely.

The moment I sat down, I pulled out a piece of paper and wrote:

What was that all about? What fight?

I passed him the note and he spent along time thinking about what to write. After about five minutes he finally passed the note back:

That is Lindsey. She is so rich she has money coming out the Wazoo. She doesn't really like me. Right after I moved here, I got in a fight, a BIG fight, with her brother. He wuz dissin La Push and I got a little protective and I kinda punched him really hard. I accidentally broke his nose and gave him a concussion. I wuz suspended my whole 2nd week. I've been called a delinquent since.

O.m.g, that's horrible. (What's a La Push?)

La Push is both an Indian reservation and my old home.

Why did u move from there to here? Don't u have all your old friends La Push?

It's a really long story.

I have all class period

I'll tell u L8R

"Miss Stevens, do you mind sending up that note that you and Seth are sharing" said Mr. Mason before I was able to pass it back to Seth.

"No, its ok. I think I'll keep it" I snapped before Seth could open his mouth.

"Miss Stevens, I don't know how you talked to your teachers in Baltimore, but here, we talk to our teachers with respect" he replied somewhat snidely.

"I will treat you the same way you treat Seth" I mumbled.

"What did you say Miss Stevens?" he replied standing up at his desk.

"I said 'I will treat you the same way you treat... some students' " I said standing up as well.

"How would you like to spend your first day in the principal's office?"

"Only if you'd join me" I said smirking.

"To the principal's office, NOW!"

"Whatever" I replied leaving the room
