Today was the first day back at school, which meant that it was picture day. I dressed up casually in khakis and a plaid v-neck. I wanted to look spiffy for my pictures, so I also combed my hair out of my face and to the side. Since my last names starts with a w, I was one of the last people to get their pictures done. Linda had just gotten back from hers and told me she would see me whenever she finished. I was next in line for pictures, when out of the blue someone dumped their fruit smoothie all over me. I looked like a mess, and I felt sticky and gross. I wanted to leave, but the lady who was taking the pictures said next and motioned for me to come to her, I don't know if she couldn't see the smoothie all over me or she just didn't care because she didn't say anything.
To put it lightly the picture sucked, and worst of all I heard from somebody that Artemis was the one who pranked me. I went to the office and asked if I could go home and change, while I was home I took a shower.
As soon as I got back, I confronted Artemis at school. She was with her usual posse, a bunch of snotty girls who all needed a good punch square in the jaw. I motioned for her to follow me, and so she did curiously. I Led her to the nearest classroom and closed the door behind us. Artemis saw how serious I looked and I caught something in her eye that looked like fear, but in an instant it was gone.
"What do you want Wallman?" she asked me.
"What the hell is your problem with me? I haven't done anything to you and it's your life mission to screw with me!" I replied.
"It's fun, don't you see how fun it is to mess with you?" At that she gave me a wink that was unsettling.
"Just back off, I'm tired of your games and they're no fun for me!"
"Maybe I will, but probably not," she opened the door and started to walk out so I started to follow her out of the room. She stopped suddenly, kissed me on the lips, laughed, and then shut the door with me inside and locked it.
My mind was racing thinking about so many things at once; Why did she kiss me? What will Linda do when she finds out? How am I going to get out of here? Throughout the rest of the day things progressively got worse, it took me almost an hour to get the attention of a janitor so they could unlock the door. Then, when I did get out I saw that Artemis was trying to be all buddy buddy with Linda. She caught me staring at them in horror and gave me a wink, that let me know that I was due for a lot of trouble. Also, being stuck in the classroom had made me late to my English class. My English teacher gave me detention on the first day back, like who even does that?
So after all of the events of the terrible day I had to sit in detention, I was prepared to fall asleep with my eyes open (a trick I picked up and used often) so that the teacher watching detention would yell at me for sleeping. I figured that I was going to be the only one in there since it was the first day right, wrong. There was one other person in there, a blonde who smiled and waved at me as I walked in. Sure enough Artemis had detention too, God had to be laughing at me as he caused me endless torment. I decided that once I went home I was going to go straight to bed. I couldn't get in any trouble if I was sleeping could I?
