School was never a problem for me,I always understood why i went there.As much as i didn't mind,i did having my bad days,days where i would feel like looking at E.B.H.S and be like "fuck school". Well today feels like one of those days.
You might be wondering why have the " fuck school"attitude on a Friday,I mean every school kid loves Fridays. To answer your question I'll just start at the beginning.
Just like any sane student,i too was very excited since it was a Friday. Firstly periods are shortened,secondly i get to spend more time with my crazy friends and most of all,i don't see my annoying geography teacher. For these reasons my Fridays were Three Star Fridays.
I was never popular at school,I wasn't part of those skinny girls with model bodies that guys would drool over whenever they crossed corridors,and I was ok with it. The less attention I got,the less trouble.
Since I was not popular,I didn't really care about the announcements teachers made after the head teacher . Usually they would be about culprits and I didn't get into any serious trouble,ever.So there I was at the assemble spot with my friends Scarlet and Beatrice talking about some Adonis we saw this morning.
"Damn that guy's hot,did he buy his looks or something." I whispered to Scarlet. "I can see that but you see the way his body is built up,its so intimidating yet really inviting...I could just eat that guy.." Beatrice said while rolling her as if she was already imagining herself with him.
"Its like he just walked straight out of a dream...gosh I wish to see his girlfriend."Scarlet managed to say.
We continued to talk until something that caused me freeze where I was happened. My name was called out,not just by anyone but a really really pissed head teacher. I heard some " oohs" and "oh boy" come from some students around me and all I kept on thinking about was what was gonna happen now,he wouldn't call my name out for no reason and just when i was still triana figure that out he said "See me today at lunch time don't be late if you know whats good for you."
Had he read my thoughts or what. Doesn't really matter anymore,all I wanted to know was that why was I going to see the head teacher. I was so drowned in my own thoughts I even forgot that I was at the assemble spot and I had classes to attend after assemble prayer until Emma poked me.
"Why am I going to see the head teacher,can someone just explain that to me...please."
Nothing was said.
"Alex,you'll only find out after you've actually seen the head teacher so stop over thinking this shit and move your little ass,we only have five minutes before class begins." As much as i hate to say,Scarlet's words managed to wake me up.
My name was called out by the head teacher,the fuckin heat teacher himself. That's all I kept thinking about through out all my classes. Being called by the Head teacher only meant one thing for me,TROUBLE. As much as I tried to think of positive things like maybe....gosh nothing came out,reality just kept hitting me straight in the face,something wrong had happened I just didn't know what it was. So the conclusion was that I Alex Williams was going to see the head teacher.
Classes for Friday were now over and I didn't even realise that cause I was busy thinking about why would a person like me go see the head teacher,why? Another thing I didn't realise was that it now Lunch time,time for me to face the man I've always feared but I don't blame myself,he was scary. It was time for me too look at him straight in the eye and listen to his super intimidating face.
"I think I'm gonna wet my pants"
"Alex shut up and just go in there" Beatrice ordered me
"What....what if he called me to tell me that I'm not good enough to be in his school..." I couldn't finish my sentence cause Emma was now holding my hand and whispering sweet words" Just go in there and hear him out,you wont know what he wants to say unless u go there,and one more thing - stop being negative that's Scarlets job." That managed to plant a small smile on my lips.
Breathe in breathe I said to myself as I headed toward his office and man I was freaking out. My gut just kept on telling something wrong had happened,real bad. Now I was in his office seating opposite him and waiting for him to talk.
"Morning miss Williams"
"Morning sir"
"Do you have any idea why I called you here?"
"N...no,I don't sir" I managed to reply
"You see people like are not supposed to admitted to this school at all."was all he said before he went silent once more and just freaked the shit out of me...what does he mean by that.
" I'm not sure if I follow sir" I asked sounding really confused. He handed me a tablet with a video on pause.
So he called me here so that he can show me a video,I almost laughed at this guy. Is he insane or what. I pressed play and it started playing.
I could see a girl being pulled into the toilet by her hair and she was crying really loud,begging to be released. She was hit a couple of times,ouch I thought to myself.The door swung open and her head was forced into the toilet until she was out of breath. Whatever that was,it looked like a really cool movie,i thought to myself. After the torturer was done..she headed to the door and when I looked clearly i saw someone who looked like me....No,I actually saw me walking out the door.
"I'll assume you now know why I called you here." I forgot to mention that my mouth was now open.
"What you did was really wrong and you know that,Anna is now seeing a therapist and now refusing to attend classes all because of your bullying. Instead of suspending you I'll just punish you so that every student sees what happens to people like you,you'll be cleaning lab one to three for two moths every Friday starting today and also apologise to Anna. You are free to go."
What the fuck just happen. Did i just see myself bully a Junior I don't even know. Why the hell would I bully a junior,I hate Juniors. Don't get me wrong but Juniors can be really annoying,always on a rush as if on a marathon with time,not that I don't do it myself as a senior but they really annoy me. So why would bully a Junior not just any junior but some Anna I who has just popped into my life and turned it upside down.
I walk out of the office feeling like i just walked out of a movie. Yes my life is now a movie,not just any but drama which I happen to hate so much.
"What happened in there,what did Mr Smith say?" Camilla greets me with questions and just keep quiet as if nothing has been said.
"Alex speak up,the suspense is killing me!" Emma shouts at me.
"Gosh did you see his dick or what,you look like you just walked out of a horror movie" Beatrice said fooling around. Scarlet on the other hand was quiet as if she could sense that something wrong had happened...its really unlike her but I appreciated it a lot.
"Someone set me up..."
"What do mean someone set you up,can you speak up!"
"I... I was shown a video of myself bullying some junior named Anna and now...she's traumatised,she's seeing a therapist." I actually said something that made sense after some time.
" For bullying someone?"
" Who the heck is Anna?"
"Why would someone set you up,you don't have any enemies,well not so many.."
"What did Mr Smith say about all that?"
"Are you ok?"
All my four friends questioned me and that just pissed me off even more.
"How the heck am I supposed to know that,huh? The head teacher just showed me a video of myself bullying some kid I don't know and God knows why I was set up by who ever did that. On top of that I have to clean three labs for two months for something I didn't even do and guess what the best part is, I'll become the laughing stock of the school and then you ask me if I'm ok,of course I'm not!!"
I really shouted at them.
After I lashed on them like that,no one said a thing to me,or maybe they were still processing what i had just told them. We basically spent lunch looking at each other until Emma decided to break the silence. "Alex,we're very sorry about what happened to you."
"Yeah,we're really sorry we'll help you clean the labs even if its for the rest of the year." Camilla said
"We'll find that asshole who set you up and make him or her pay." And that was Scarlet.
"It better be a male cause if its a she,amma kill that bitch." Beatrice threatened.
All my friends have different personalities and I guess that is what I love the most about being around them Camilla is the talkative one,always hyper active,Scarlet is the the bad ass and doesn't tolerate any shit,Scarlet on the other hand is just too concerned about her looks and body,she's always on flick and Emma is just an angel,always says the right things all the time. As much as I'm really stressed I still feel slightly better when I'm around them just a little bit better.
"Thanks guys,I appreciate that a lot. I'm sorry i yelled at you I'm just really frustrated. My life was normal ten minutes ago and...now everything is upside down. My life is just a mess."
I groaned in frustration. I just didn't understand why would some set me up,why?
"Its OK Alex,we're here for you OK,you'll be fine."Emma reassured me.
"Yeah,you'll b OK. Lets go and start cleaning before its too late" Camilla said. My friends really made the whole situation slightly better but I was still confused.
When we arrived at the labs we were greeted by papers everywhere,some liquid on the floor and a lot of shit. It was really dirty and that was supposed to make me feel better since I was gonna clean a dirty lab
As soon as we realised that it was 01:30 we started cleaning and it was really dirty I wont lie. When we were halfway cleaning lab one the door swung open and guess who entered,Max and his crew.
Max is the guy that every girl at school wants,he's the captain of the school soccer team. He's got the looks and I don't know how but he was smart,I realised that cause we have English,Math and science together. Most guys fear and praise him and his four friends Jacob,Edward and Caleb who are strikers for our school soccer team. My friends and I never liked them at all,and i just despised them especially Max. He just thinks that he is better than everyone else. So what were they doing at the lab I was cleaning together with Emma.
"Alex...can i talk to you."Max said.
" What?" I questioned and I'm sure i sounded really exhausted. I don't know what Emma was thinking but she decided to leave me alone with Max.
"I know that you didn't bully Anna so I'm gonna help you clean till your punishments its over."
"How...how do you know I did not do it?" I questioned confused buy all he said.
"I..i just know it,its unlike you."
Before I could interrogate him again he grabbed a mop and started cleaning. Part of me wanted to chase me out but I was too exhausted physically and mentally so I just continued cleaning. We both finished cleaning lab one without saying a word to each other.
Now you know how my Friday was ruined. I got punished for something i didn't do and i don't know who would set me up .Max just stepped in to help me and god knows why.
So now you know my story and I think this this is just the beginning.
