Clarity
Austin's POV: School The Next Morning..
"Hey Austin." A cheerleader exclaimed looking at me flirtatiously. I gave her a quick head nod before shoving my hands down in my pockets and walking through the front doors of the main office. I went to the counter and cleared my throat as the office lady pointed to the principals office.
I chewed on my gum hastily and walked towards the back entering the room without hesitation to knock and to my disappointment Dylan was sitting in a chair playing with his IPod. What a dumb ass.
"Hello Austin take a seat." Mrs. Ciprello asked.
I rolled my eyes at her gentle manner and took a seat next to Dylan who scoffed looking in the other direction. "Have a problem with me sitting here DD?" I asked just to annoy him for a moment.
He growled and looked at me. "I told you never to call me that."
"Oops totally forgot." I said with a bored expression as I blew a bubble and let it pop and lose air slowly before chewing on it again. "Now enough of this boys you don't want to get in anymore trouble than you already are." Mrs. Ciprello said sternly while stacking a stack of papers.
Honestly I didn't give a damn about what she was going to punish me with this time. Being in detention 24 times since freshman year isn't so bad at all. She'll probably give me another slip for my mom to sign, then my mom will give me a lecture and then I'll just spend my weekend sitting in a class with Trent putting gum under the freshman's seats and unscrewing the screws so they topple over. Nothing I can't handle.
Mrs. Ciprello pulled down her glasses to the bridge of her nose before looking over a pack of papers.
"Well Dylan your grades look superb!" she exclaimed. I hate when old people do that to him, they act like he's a perfect little angel. Yeah, angel my ass.
I rolled my eyes crossing my arms over my chest suddenly feeling the need to speak, "Why am I here if you're only going to boast about how angelic my brother is?"
"Austin calm yourself, anyways your grades are outstanding Dylan only one A out of all the subjects. Don't know how you're surviving Algebra with Mr. Craig!" she said laughing. Dylan joined in and I just cocked my eyebrow disgusted with her old folk humor...or if that even was humor to begin with.
"Thank you Mrs. Ciprello I love your blouse looks awesome. Let me guess forever 21?" Dylan said smoothly as Mrs. Ciprello blushed.
Ok now I was going to throw up.
She waved a hand at him, "Oh stop Mr. Moon you're making me blush!"
Dylan chuckled before starring at me and giving me his classical devious smirk. What a kiss up.
Mrs. Ciprello-after calming down- shuffled her papers and cleared her throat.
"Now about the fight during lunch, Dylan since you have no record of disorderly conduct you are free of punishment and are only set of with a warning." She said calmly.
My hands clenched into a fist. "Are you freaking god damn kidding me!? He freaking punched me!" I yelled standing up. "Austin Moon sit down this instant!" she barked in anger. I huffed and sat down chewing my gum rapidly.
"And as for you Mr. Austin Moon, three D's and four F's. What do you have to say for yourself young man?"
"Aye, blame the teachers." I said putting my hands up in surrender.
She sighed, "Austin you have had 23 detentions."
"Ahem, it's 24 to be exact." I interrupted. "Want to make it 30?" she said eyeing me down to state her point. I slouched down in my seat shutting my mouth since it was the best choice for right now.
She spoke then, "Thought so, now Austin you have a few options. Either to do community service, 13 weeks of detention, or boost up your grades in 6 weeks tops."
"6 weeks t boost up my grade!? That is impossible!" I yelled. Could this day get any worse?
"Well you'll have to Austin, you'll only have till' the end of the semester or unfortunately you won't be able to graduate."
"What!?" I screeched standing up. "No no no no. Y-you can't do this to me, there has got to be more time then 6 weeks! That's not enough time not enough quizzes will boost up some of the grades!"
"Then I suggest you get working and study extra hard."
I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Me? Not graduating and getting out of this hell hole called school. It would be a cold day in hell if I let that happen. "There has got to be another way Mrs. Ciprello please!" I begged coming up to her desk. I could hear Dylan snickering to himself but I was to caught up in the moment to care about his childish manner.
"Well, there is one way." She said slowly.
"Anything will do Mrs. Ciprello just tell me." I pleaded. This was possibly the first time I've actually begged for something. She sighed and smiled, "Ok well you can find someone to tutor you someone who needs to be in advanced honors classes or just plain honors classes, no one with a C or lower."
A smirk tugged at my lips as I mental light bulb went off in my mind, "So I can choose anyone I want to tutor me... does it matter which grade level?"
"Well yes if in juniors or below they have to be in advanced honors." she said simply.
Bingo.
Dylan's silent laughter stopped and I knew he knew what was going on in my little devious complex mind. "Have any suggestions?" Mrs. Ciprello asked lifting up her glasses to her head. I smiled evilly and looked back at Dylan who mouthed 'You better not' to me with a glare.
"Yes as a matter of fact I do."
"Splendid, remember until the end of the semester Moon." She smiled gesturing to the door.
I walked past Dylan and chuckled before heading out the door. "She's mine."
I opened the door and entered the main office once again. I pushed open the doors of the front office and sauntered down the hallway smiling to myself. "Austin you better stop right there!"
I froze in my tracks and turned around to see Dylan his face beet red.
"What the hell!?" he yelled slapping my shoulder and yet it didn't faze me.
"What did I do?" I asked innocently, "I'm just going to find myself a tutor hmm, what is name again? Amanda, AJ...oh right her names Ally."
"Ally hates you who do you god damn think you are!?" Dylan yelled. "Well she didn't think that last night."
Dylan's eyes went wide and he shoved me up against the wall gripping my shirt tightly. "What did you do to her?"
"Eh things happen, people get physical." I said easily. He growled deeply but still I just looked around the hallway trying to contain my laughter. "If you so much as laid a hand on her I'll kill you."
"Me laying a hand on her? Of no such thing Dylan, but you on the other hand.." I trailed off teasingly. This was too much fun for me. His eyes went cold, "What do you mean?" He asked in confusion.
I pushed him off me and dusted off my shirt.
"Don't think that I don't know what you did, how stupid do you think I am. Wouldn't want that to get to anybody in particular." I said before fixing my hair and shoving my hands down in my pocket.
"Austin."
"I bet the school would love to hear your little secret you'll be an even bigger loser than you ever were to me. Not so golden aren't we now?" I scoffed before giving him the middle finger and walking away down the hallway not even looking back.
