Chapter four: He makes the good girls go bad...
Or rather he makes the bad girls gone good have a relapse...
That was how I was feeling right now.
I hated him so much. I hated him so much more than words could possibly describe, and I was glaring at him right now from across the room in detention after school. There goes my reputation. There goes making a good first impression. My word this whole week has been a mess! From the enrolment form, to the lost dog... Darn that dog... And the "ghost" in the staircase to the darn Fashion Clown Trio.
I probably shouldn't hate Castiel for it... It was THEIR fault mainly, but my gosh he made it just that little bit more worse and he was happy about it. I was livid.
Why I'm so peeved I could... I could...
I... enter... Otaku mode...
"Why I'm so angry I'm gonna track him down and vandalise his house with explosive tags and scare the cripes out of him and his stupid dog that keeps picking over-the-fence fights with mine whenever I try to walk them... I'm gonna put magenta dye in his hair dye bottles and cut holes in all his pants at the crotch...yeah... That'll get him..."
No... That'll get him ANGRIER with me than he already was... What the hell was I thinking?
I grunted very deliberately audibly and then let my head thunk into my crossed arms on the desktop in the detention room. What luck I had.
Castiel snorted and then dared speak to me with that far too attractive voice that he didn't deserve to have.
"What's up Vovo? You had enough of being a bad girl? Already?" He laughed.
"I dunno i think you looked pretty cute... pity your a slave to the rules like natty boy..."
I just clenched my fists and rubbed my face into the smooth leather of my jacket.
Fancy that... We had the same jacket but different colours... A pffft why am I thinking about something so superficial right now? I need to focus all of my hatred into this boy!
Not only did he 'help' get me a detention or two, but now Amber hates me more than she already did and Nathaniel will probably never be able to look at me again.
It all started when Nathaniel 'lost' the keys to the darn staff lounge...
earlier that day...
I was slinking down the hallways trailing a very peculiar boy whom I had met the other night. Not the same reaction I had had to Nathaniel, but I had to admit between him, castiel (horrible as he may be) and Nathaniel, my internal FANGIRL was going to have her battle won by the end of the second week here. I could just see it, me, awkwardly squealing and blurting out things I really shouldn't like how Nathaniel looks so dreamily adult working in class when I have him for a period, or how Lysander had the most beautiful case of heterochromia I had ever seen... Actually I already told him that and he seemed to go all stiff and reserved for a good while after that.
He was nonchalant however the next day, perhaps forgiving me?
Suddenly he turned around and I nearly bumped into him... As luck would have it, my locker was nearby.
"Uh... Oh, Lysander how careless of me! I didn't mean to bump into you..." I hastily excused myself and then began twisting the lock combination to my locker completely ignoring the suspicious but amused look he was giving me.
He seemed, out of the corner of my eye, about to say something when a loud female voice pierced the air from the room behind us.
"Nathaniel Thompson I will not stand for this! You will find that key, and everything else that was taken or I will be holding you responsible!"
Lysander and I exchanged glances and then with a cough he bowed awkwardly and then headed off towards his own locker further down the hall.
"What... Did you hear the principal just now... " I heard a few girls mutter from their locker. The principal stalked out of the student council room with a huffy expression. Catching my gaze following her she told me off curtly and I just yelped and smiled looking away. My eyes caught with the red face of Nathaniel who seemed more flustered than I'd ever seen him before...
I instantly hurried off to him, forgetting to lock my locker in the process.
"Oh no, Voaz... Did you hear everything? How long were you there?" He asked breathlessly. His shining amber eyes were glazed over with worry and what appeared to be embarrassment, and my heart twitched a little.
"Oh I think everyone heard that last sentence she called out, but nothing else I'm sure. Are you okay?" I asked him fighting the urge to touch his shoulder. I may be short, but I was closer to a medium height so that my face reached his neck at the tallest.
He sighed and grinned nervously, "someone misplaced or has stolen the keys to the staff lounge, and the upcoming exams were taken..."
My eyes widened and my mouth dropped a tiny bit before I stepped forward so that our whispering was better concealed.
"Oh my gosh, I... I can't believe it, is there any way I can help? I would hate for you to be held responsible for this!" I replied.
He looked at me worried for a minute but then a small glint of gratitude made its mock appearance...
"Oh, if only it was that easy. We'd have to find the key first, but one key in the whole school? It's near impossible! And not to mention the exams... Oh Voaz, I ... Have to go..." He rubbed his forehead with his fingertips agitatedly, clearly not at me, but with the situation.
I stopped him by the hand without thinking and he turned his head around pretty fast... For a second I almost forgot what I was going to say...
Oh yeah, "I know it seems impossible, but with the two of us together it might be easier... I just won't stand for you being framed! Okay?" I said really quickly. He blushed a bit and smiled that awkward smile like he had a few nights ago with the school 'ghost'...
"I, I really appreciate your eagerness to help. I'm sorry, it's not you I just need a bit of space..." He put a tiny hint of inflection on the last word... I then realised my hand on his and let go a bit too quickly. He thanked me again silently and then walked off.
Suddenly out of absolute nowhere a petite girl with a myriad of technology covering her, and a microphone to top it off came bustling down the hallway right towards me, her hips and shoulders moving everyone out of the way as she did so.
"Hi! I'm Peggy I'm the head of the school news paper, I came here hearing that you allegedly spotted a ghost in the school the other night! Care to elaborate for me? Whaddayasay?" She uttered in one breath, smiling this smile I could n,y genuinely liken to a DC comics super villain, that mischievous yet determined glint in her eye..
Out of the corner of my own eyes I caught a scowling glare from a certain redhead...
"Oh, that? That was nothing I can't tell you what it was. It was just my imagination!" I explained in a quick but believable lie.
Peggy followed me down the rest of the hallway pestering me with more questions, and it wasn't until Castiel managed to yank me aside into an empty classroom that I escaped her.
It was quite comical actually as I slapped my hands to my mouth and doubled over trying not to laugh as I watched her whip her head around looking for me.
A sharp tap on the shoulder brought my attention back to my saviour... Or well... Something like that.
I sighed heavily and turned around to face him...
My male rival. Yes, he was my male rival, and Amber was the female one. Luck would have it that she wants to date him. Maybe I should hook them up and get them out of my life...
And Nathaniels too.
I narrowed my eyes and tad and uttered a curt thanks before going to leave.
He grabbed my wrist and pulled me back, backing me up to a wall in the classroom.
My heart beat raced and I furrowed my brows, not in the slightest pleased with my predicament.
Truth be told, I wasn't to much against being backed into a wall by an amazingly hot red headed rockstar, with the most handsome angular face and thin unreadable eyes as he smirked at my obvious melting reaction to this somewhat aggressive gesture.
I tried to think of what to say... Anything... ANYTHING AT ALL!
"W-what?" I whispered.
He let go and then threw his arms up shaking his head laughing a little.
"Man, you've gotta be kidding me! Look at you, you looked like I was gonna eat you or something!" He joked in that sly and sarcastic tone. I stood up and crossed my arms scowling lightly.
"Tsk, tsk. I thought you were such a bad*ss the other day, running around telling me and Nat what to do! I'm amazed... You're really just a little pussycat aren't you?" He leaned on a wall and crossed his legs.
I walked up to him and then stated, "I don't appreciate being treated like an object of your amusement! I'm out of here..." I began to walk out ignoring his laughter until I remembered...
Nathaniel... The keys and exams...
Could castiel have done it to put him in this kind of situation?
"Hey, wait... Did you know that the keys to the teachers lounge were stolen, as well as the upcoming exams?" I began cautiously
He didn't get fooled by my tone..."Hey, hey wait up! What's with that look? Do you think I did it or something?"
I smiled sarcastically, giving it straight back to him, "oh, my apologies I didn't realise that such a fine delinquent like yourself wouldn't have a single finger on the matter, considering its putting your worst rival under the pump. I'll go elsewhere with this investigation." I smiled. I'd have to get information out of him another way.
"HA! Imagine that! I need school to keep me from getting evicted from my place! I wouldn't jeopardise my spot here in this prison so easily, pussycat." He called.
My face flushed, unimpressed with my new nickname. I guess if what he said was true he has a good point. Maybe I should ask around the school instead...
But I still was unimpressed with him. Figures he'd want to give me a little trouble after the other night.
Castiel called out to me from the classroom, "hey pussycat, maybe the ghost took them! Ooooooh!"
Inducing laughter from the somewhat confused students in the hallway. I grunted and stormed off to the school garden...
I hated him so much...
End part one of chapter four!
