"Kaylee Landon." She told the school secretary a half hour later as she waited for the stuff she would need to start the day.
"Nice to meet you Kaylee. Here's your class schedule and locker combination." The secretary told her.
"Thanks." She replied wanting to get this over and start her day.
"Oh, its first hour." She was told as she turned to leave. She nodded and left the office. Once she found her locker she went to her first class.
"You will be expected-" A bald man was saying as she walked in. "Are you Kaylee Landon?" He asked clearly upset about being interrupted.
"Yeah." She told him looking around the room. It was a little clustered but still big enough to hold thirty people.
"Do you have a reason for being late?" he asked her sharply.
"I'm new." She replied simply. Most teachers let the news kids have some slack. Apparently he was not one of them.
"So does that make you an exception to the rule?" He asked and her thoughts were confirmed.
"Actually, yeah it does." She answered sarcastically not liking how he was talking to her. She had a problem with authority figures and she couldn't help but backtalk when they acted that way towards her. "Well Kaylee, you just got the first detention of the year." She was told. "Sit next to Tyler." He added writing her name down. She rolled her eyes and sat in the only empty seat next to the one and only boy next door. She was starting to think she was cursed.
"You really know how to start the school year don't you?" Tyler asked her smiling.
"Yeah I guess I do." She answered shortly. She was still upset about his comment from the bus.
"Why are you mad at me?" He asked catching her off guard. Most people just excepted the fact she treated them like shit and left her alone.
"I don't know. Maybe because you are on Ryan's side." She replied before she could stop herself.
"What are you talking about? I didn't know I was on someone's side." He told her staring into her hazel eyes as if he was searching for answers.
"You're not. I'm just not a morning person and I tend to be crabby." She said forcing a smile. "What's baldies name?" She asked changing the subject quickly and hoping for once he would get the hint and drop the topic.
"Mr. Ikren." He told her laughing a little and she relaxed instantly. His laugh was cute and so was his smile. Not that she liked him. She was just pointing out the obvious.
"I don't like him." She told him wrinkling her nose a little and smiling a genuine smile.
"You know, your whole face lights up when you really smile. You should do it more often." He said staring into her eyes once more and she blushed a little taken by surprise at his forwardness.
"Kaylee Landon. Do you like detention?" Mr. Ikren asked her and she looked at him startled. She didn't realize he was standing next to her desk.
"I love detention. But what I love more is pissing you off." She snapped and then groaned realizing what she said. She was going to have alot of explaining to do to her mom that was for sure.
"Well, you just got detention for a whole month and a day in ISS. Oh and today Mr. Connell will join you." He told her as he gave both of them a smirk.
"Thank you, I'll enjoy the company." She told him getting her stuff and standing up. She felt a little bad for getting Tyler in trouble but then again she didn't since he had started the conversation.
"Off." Mr. Ikren said as he pointed to the door and she let out a giggle at his attempt to be a bad ass teacher. She gave one last look to Tyler and then walked out of the room to start her day in ISS.
