chapter three: trouble

"Hi mike!" I say while putting on my best fake 'good girl' smile. When I do my good girl smile nobody can see through me.


"I was going to talk to you about this during 7th period" (his class period) "but since i've ran into you, I might as well address it right here." He said intimately.


There's no way he knew I just smoked.


"Care to tell me why you didn't show up to first period at ALL? Your first day and you can't even show up on time."


Thank god he doesn't know. "Calm down...I was just late because...my parents woke up late and couldn't take me in time, It's really not that big of a deal..." I roll my eyes. That was a good lie I think.


Mike sighs and taps his foot. "Ill believe you this time only because I have no proof that you're lying. And if you are lying, I'm going to find out, so this is your last chance to tell the truth before things take a turn for the worst." He scolded.


How is he going to find out? That's actually impossible I think to myself.


I grab his hand and lock his pinky finger with mine. "I swear."


"Okay..." He says suspiciously.


When I get home I will just have to hog the house phone incase he calls. It's not like my parents will answer because they never do...they will probably be performing some insane emergency surgery in a different continent.


I notice Kate is still next to me waiting for Mike and I to finish our conversation. I wonder why she didn't leave us be.


"How are you Kate? Are you're parents doing well?" Mike asks politely.


Does he know her?


Kate looks down and mumbles "uh..yeah..they're fine I guess."


Mike says in a warning tone. "Kate, what did we talk about?! Remember what I told you about the mumbling?"


Kate lifts her head snd clearly says "Yes sir, sorry."


This is weird, why is she being such a suck up.


"I'm sorry, do you guys know each-other or something?" I ask confused.


Mike places his hand on Kate shoulder and says "Of course we know each-other! I was her mentor last year." He asserted.


WHAT!?!?


I look over at Kate with a 'wtf' look and say "Why didn't you tell me?" kinda pissed off.


"So you have been talking about me Anna?" Mike smirks.


I give him a disgusted look. Then the late bell rings, meaning we have one minute to get to class.


The timing couldn't be better.


"Let's go." I grab Kates hand and  start walking away from Mike.


"We'll talk about this in 7th period!" Mike shouts from across the hallway.


Whatever.


Kate and I enter biology and she sits in the back of the class with her friends and saves a seat for me. She introduces me to all her friends and there's this one guy that stands out to me though, his name is Clay and he is the hottest guy I have seen in a while. He has dirty blond hair parted down the middle, he looks like he skateboards, exactly my type.


"Alright class!! Welcome back, hope you guys have had a fantastic weekend!" The biology professor shouts as he walks over to the white board. "I have some exiting news for us today." He points at me, "Annabella Anderson has joined our class! Annabella, why don't you stand up and tell us three things about yourself."


He said what? Pardon?


Kate nudges me and I slowly stand up.
"Okay first, never call me 'Annabella' again. I go by Anna. Second, my favorite food is your mom. And last but not least, you're mom has a fat ass." I say in rapid succession.


The whole class bursts into laughter, and I find myself smiling a little bit too.
The professor looks shocked by what I just said.


As everyone continues laughing he shouts "ENOUGH!!" The class becomes silent.
"I think i've heard enough of you today Anna, go sit outside of the classroom while I contact your mentor." He says, then walks over to his computer and starts typing vigorously.


Kate and her friends look and me with smiles on their faces. I can tell that this is going to be my new trouble group.


I lazily walked over to the door and opened it very slowly. Once I was outside the classroom I slammed It as hard as I could, which created a huge BAM sound. I take out my phone and open snapchat texting my friends from my old school about how my day is going.


10 minutes later


I was still texting my friends until the classroom door opened and I quickly hid my phone under my skirt.


"Are you ready to join us back in class Anna?" The professor asked me.


Honestly I like it out here, it's peaceful, and I can just be on my phone.


"Guess so..." I answer his question with sass.


"I want to let you know that your mentor has been informed of your little disrespectful attitude this morning. Your mentor is Mike...I would watch where you step young lady." He bossed


Why is everyone so scared of Mike, he doesn't scare me.


I follow the professor back into class and take my seat next to Kate. She looks worried but I give her a reassuring look that i'm okay.


"You okay?" Kate whispers to me.


"I'm fine, but I have to deal with Mike later.." I cringe.


"Oh shit, Mike. He's really gonna bust your ass for this. Trust me I know from experience. But maybe he will go lighter on you because it's your first time and you don't know any better." She whispered.


"We can only hope..." I say kind of worried.


"AHEM! Anything you girls would like to share with the rest of the class?" The professor barked.


Everyone turns their heads to us.


"No sir" Kate says respectfully.


He goes back to his lecture just like that. Maybe I should take some notes from Kate but we all know i'm too stubborn for that.


We finish up biology and head to lunch. I have lunch super early because i'm a freshman and have 'A' lunch (which is the first lunch) It's practically still breakfast time.


I follow Kate and her friends to their lunch table and sit down. Clay starts to talk to me and says-


"You really had some balls today, I could never do that" He laughs and so does everybody else.


You know what...maybe this school won't be so bad after all.
