I honestly thank all of you that read this and reviewed. Now that I have this checked, I have to write this earlier than usual. It feels weird … but I am on Spring Break, nothing better to do. So let's get on to chapter two, shall we?
"What do you mean? This is your entire fault," May retorted angrily. She couldn't believe that he had the audacity to blame her after he cheated. She fumed; this would be her first "F" in history…ever. She turned sharply to face Drew, who was now busy texting on his cell phone. "Well?"
"I mean if you would have just let me cheat, we wouldn't have gotten caught, and you could have gotten your perfect 'A'," he said nonchalantly. The jerk. Something was telling May to jump on him as he spoke.
Before she had a chance to do anything, the bell rang. May moved from her place in front of the door as the class left, single file.
"Maple. Hayden. In here, right now," the teacher called loudly from inside the classroom. The two walked in and the teacher sat at the desk with the two students' quizzes in front of her. "So, who would like to explain what happened?" Drew stayed silent and flipped his hair with a smirk.
"There is nothing to explain," Drew said as he turned to face her once more. "No one was actually cheating, it was a misunderstanding." The teacher looked, unconvinced, at Drew and then laid her gaze upon May.
"Maple," she said curtly. May looked around nervously and began to poke her two
index fingers together. She glanced up at the teacher, and then at Drew. He was
giving her a dirty look.
"You see…" May trailed off as she looked at Drew's face one more time. She hated the boy, but every time they fought, he won or he got her back ten times worse. She also didn't lie to teachers or any authority figure, for that matter. So, she decided to come clean. "Drew was cheating on my test. I told him to stop, but he didn't listen." The teacher looked empathically at May; she then glared at Drew.
"Mr. Hayden, this is for you. Nothing new, I suppose," the teacher said as she wrote out a detention slip and handed it to the green haired teen. He groaned, but took it anyway. "Now, any more of this and we will take it up with the principal. The two adolescents nodded and started for the door. "Oh, and Miss Maple…" May slowed her pace and turned to face the teacher once more. The lady didn't continue until Drew left the room. "I am very proud of you for standing up to him. Now remember, if you have any more trouble, come straight to me." May nodded and left the room as quickly as possible.
Once she got to the lunch room, she searched the tables for her two friends. She had three, yet Vanessa didn't go to the school. "Dawn, Misty, there you are," she said as she approached them. They sat at table alone. May quickly took her place across from Dawn. Dawn was a beautiful, youthful girl with blue hair. She was slim and well-mannered, and to if she really wanted to be, she could become popular.
Misty was a skinny, fiery, redhead. She wore her hair in a side ponytail and had a reputation for being dangerous. No one messed with her…to her face, anyway.
"What took you so long?" Dawn asked as she took a bite of her shiny, red apple. Misty stared at the girl, awaiting an explanation as well.
"Drew happened." She sighed along with her friends. "There really is no fathoming the depths of my hatred for this place." Dawn nodded and Misty only rolled her eyes. "Drew cheated off me during a history quiz. We had to stay afterwards to explain."
"So, what happened?" Misty questioned as their eyes headed to the table where he sat. Unlike May and her friends, he was accompanied by several people. Everyone loved him and it only helped that he was the captain of the soccer team. The girls knew him well; him and his two other friends, Paul and Ash. Paul was an introverted masochist who was well known for taking his pain and hatred on the world out on others; also captain of the football team. Ash was your average energetic teen who seemed carefree and nice.
"Well, we both got zeros, but Drew also got a detention for cheating. He
looked ticked when he left the classroom." It was almost as if Drew heard his
name. Just as she finished her sentence, Drew looked up at the trio. He then
got up and walked over to the table accompanied by Ash and Paul.
"Drew?" May questioned as he walked up. She then gained a little confidence and spoke again. "Can I help you?" Drew gritted his teeth as he stared at the girl.
"Yeah, what do you plan to do about this?" he asked as he slammed the
detention slip on the table in front of May. May flinched at the impact
between the table and Drew's hand.
"What would you like her to do?" Dawn answered, coming to her friend's rescue. "Don't cheat and it won't happen again." Drew and Paul sent Dawn cold glares. Ash just watched, pretty much lost.
"What did you just say, freak?" Drew replied coldly.
"Freak!?!?!" Dawn screeched as she stood up on the table and jumped down right in between Drew and May. "Don't you dare call me a freak."
By now, the six had drawn a crowd. A few people began to chant, "Fight, fight,
fight!" in the background and others just moved in closer to witness.
"Please," Drew sneered. "You are a wannabe prep with no friends. You have to hang out with other losers who are just as pathetic as you are." Drew and Paul smirked at the same time. Dawn growled lowly and slapped Drew as hard as possible on the left side of his face. She pounced at him, but Paul grabbed her by the waist and held her back.
"Let go of me, don't you dare touch me!" Dawn said between struggles. Paul threw the girl to the ground.
"Happy?" he asked once she looked back up.
"Don't treat my friends that way," Misty threatened as she got in Paul's face. Instead of backing down, Paul stepped forward as if challenging the redhead.
"What's going on here?" a teacher yelled as she made her way through the crowd, just in time to see Misty shove Paul.
Ha ha, cliff hanger. I know, mean…sure. Yet, I'm sleepy and it is 2:50 at the moment. Review and the rest will come later. Take my poll!!!!
