Chapter Four

     I felt someone pulling my duvet and I was getting really irritated.  It was like tug of war. As the person kept on pulling down, I kept on pulling up. I wondered who the person disturbing my peaceful sleep was.  It had to be Ma since we were literally the only ones staying here.  I couldn't take the constant pulling so I had to give up.  I opened my eyes slowing to see Ma looking down on me like I had grown a couple extra heads.

I turned on the tap and entered inside the bath tub. I wanted to have a bubble bath but I didn't have enough time for that.  I used my favorite lavender shampoo to wash my hair and within fifteen minutes I was done.

I got out of the tub and was about to leave when I remembered that I hadn't brushed my teeth.  I took my brush from the holder, applied my strawberry paste and brushed my teeth. When I was done, I left my bathroom and went to dress up. I was about to pick some clothes from my closet when my eyes fell on the clothes Ma had pick for me. She really had a great taste in style and I didn't have time for a cloth search so I just wore what she had chosen.  I dried my hair and tied it in a pony tail because I didn't want my hair sticking on my face during this crazy heat wave.  Summer was never my favorite season.       

"Kylie, come downstairs now". I heard Ma shout from downstairs. I took my bag, phone and some books  from my table and headed down stairs. I saw Ma waiting for me in the living room.

I shrugged and went into the kitchen to get a snack. I couldn't find anything reasonable to eat so I just took an Apple.  Ma was already heading out the door so I followed her.  She was dressed in her usual office wear. 

"Could you please slow down. You're going above speed limit". I shouted through the loud music playing from the speakers of the car. I wonder how Ma was able to listen to songs like this. She was always crazy when she was a teenager girl like me she always said. Guess it just stuck on to her. 

"I learnt from the best. Anyways thanks for the ride". I leaned over to give her a kiss on the cheek before I rushed out of the car.  I would have waited for her to pull out the driveway but I was late.  I checked my watch and realized that I was half an hour late.

Oh I was so going to get detention. I'm sorry Netflix I won't have time for you today. 

I rushed to to my locker to get my Biology notebook since I was having that first. I had always loved Biology and being late for the class really pissed me off. 

I was already running so fast that I bumped into a wall that broke my fall. When I looked up, I realized that it wasn't a wall but a dude. A really tall dude. I guess he was in the football team since he was wearing a jacket with the team's name on it. I was about to say sorry but he pushed me back and that really irritated me . I didn't want to start trouble on my second day so I just walk passed him but made sure I gave him a shove.  I was pretty sure he got irritated by that because he pulled my hand and backed me against my locker. The impact was very painful but i wasn't going to make myself look like a coward. I was about to speak but was hindered when he decided to speak first,

"Don't you have manners for you to say sorry". He asked.

I didn't have time for him so I just pushed him. He was about to fall but he managed to balance himself. I brushed imaginary dust from my body and folded my hands on my chest "I do have manners. I was about to say sorry but you pushed me back which made me realize that you aren't worth a single sorry. And what kind of guy pushes a girl huh". I asked him but he kept looking at me like I was some kind of crazy human being.

I got annoyed by his silence and took a deep breath before talking "I don't have time for this.  You're just a jerk". I said and walked to my Biology class.  That stupid jerk had already made me waste another five minutes.  I was really angry that I didn't realize when I had pushed the door to the biology class.  Everyone's eyes was on me and I was irritated again. I turned to the teacher and before I could say anything she began speaking "Nice of you to drop in Miss Dallas ".  At least she didn't call me by my grandfather's name. 

How wonderful.

I turned to my side and saw the red-haired girl I sat beside yesterday during Ap Calculus class. She was wearing a round glasses that made her look like Minnie mouse which was also kind of cute.

I turned towards her and rose an eyebrow.  " I said I love your hair.  Honey brown. It's nice".  I nodded my head in approval and went back to writing my note.  I hope she got the message that I didn't want to talk.

The bell rung signalling the end of Miss Samantha's class and I was really happy that I would get away from Miss red-head. I was about to leave the class when she tapped me on the shoulders.  I turned around to face her.  I hoped she'd notice the scowl on my face because I was already getting annoyed by her constant bugging.

"What class are you having next". She said me. 

I couldn't take it anymore.

" RED-HEAD!!" I said without realizing I had just exploded.

"I mean Rachael". I said. I could see the look on her face. I didn't realize my outburst made her flinch "I just....". I was about to complete my statement but she cut me off.

"I understand". She said and began walking ahead of me.  She turned back to face me " I'm a nerd, I know " she said "but I just wanted us to be friends" she said as she walked out of my sight.

I was glad she was out of my hair but I couldn't help but feel bad.

Whoa! First bad impression.
