Chapter 10 Friday is trouble day
So, when Friday came around I was in a good mood. Which is no surprise because today was the day I was going to Brooklyn to figure out about my mutations, and more importantly how to control them. The bell rang for fourth period world studies to begin. I was running a little late because I fell down the stairs.
"You're late." Mr. Burrows stated.
"I know." I simply replied
"What are we going to do about that?" I shrugged my shoulders
"Change when the bell rings." I said with a smirk on my face. Some girl in the back of the class laughed, and Peter looked at me like I was crazy. That was the first time I did something like that, and I'm not going to lie it felt good. The class looked at me with big eyes. Mr. Burrows was one of the strictest teachers, and no one in their right mind would say that to him.
Mr. Burrows gave the class a stern look and turned back towards me "Just take your seat Willow." I walked to my seat clearly very proud of what I just said. When I sat down Mr. Burrows began talking again.
"Take out your completed homework assignments, and put them in the basket." I looked at Peter who was taking out his completed homework assignment.
"We had homework."
"Yeah, you didn't do it?"
"No, I didn't even know we had any."
"He said it was due like five times yesterday."
"Well it's not my fault he's so boring he puts the entire class to sleep." Peter rolled his eyes playfully and chuckled
"You're hopeless."
"I know." I replied getting worried. Not only did I sass off to him, but I didn't do his stupid homework assignment. Peter got up and put his paper in the basket, and sat back down. Mr. Burrows began looking through the basket. Everybody's homework was in it expect for mine and some girl named Lisa who was in two other classes of mine to. The only reason why Lisa's homework wasn't in the basket was because she was gone.
"Willow, why isn't your paper in the basket?"
"Because I didn't do it"
"Why didn't you do it?"
"I had a lot of other homework to do, and I spaced with this assignment." I lied.
"What's our class motto Miss. Manz?"
"If you're not going to do your work or participate don't show up."
"Then why are you here because you clearly don't care to show up on time."
"You know that's a good question. And I have an answer actually. You see Mr. Burrows your class is so boring it's a great time to sleep. In fact your class…"
"That's it Will….."
"I wasn't finished. As I was saying your class is so boring it could put someone with Insomnia to sleep in five minutes."
"That's it Willow. You have detention after school today."
"Yeah, I'm not going to be able to make it. I have this um this um really, really, really important thing I have to do this weekend, and I'm going right after school. But we can reschedule sometime, does Monday work for you?" I could feel a fire burning inside. Crap I thought. If I lose my temper people will find out my secret. Mr. Burrows was about to say something else, but then the phone rang.
"Mr. Burrows room." I could tell Mr. Burrows was growing upset with what this person was saying. "Yes, yes she'll be right there, goodbye." I stood there waiting for Mr. Burrows to begin yelling at me again, but instead he handed me a pass.
"Your Uncle is here to pick you up, grab your stuff and go."
"Okay." I said and headed back to my seat. I looked at Peter and told him I'd see him on Monday. He nodded and Mr. Burrows just looked at me as I left. He started giving the class that days lesson when I poked my head back in.
"Oh, and Mr. Teacher, I'll see you Monday after school." I said smiling. When I left I realize I was calmer, which is a good thing because things would not have been pretty. I thought controlling my mutation was easy, I was wrong.
