4 Bad Boys and 1 Girl #Wattys2016

Ready for Hell

"Jenny!" My mum called me from downstairs. I groaned in my pillow and stuffed my head even further in it. I hated the first day of school, even if it was high school. I wished someone would just help me get up from my bed. I really tried getting up from my bed but it was calling me so temptingly I couldn't refuse and I cuddled into it.

"Jenny! Enough! You will surely be late for your school today. And its High School!" Mum beamed at me as she snatched the pillow from under my head. "So?" I got up and sat down cross-legged in front of my Mum. I was just wearing a half pant with loose shirt and my hair was a mess. It looked as if there had been a World War 3 or something in my hair. My black hair came a little down my shoulders and I loved it. It was the maybe the only thing I was proud of and so I took special care of it. I shampooed it once a week with conditioner...

But why am I giving a hair treatment speech here? Stupid Jenna.

"So what if it's high school? It dosen't make any difference. I still hate school. And I know I'm gonna get bullied everyday because of my shy attitude and will be a loner.So what's the point in going to school?" I searched my mother's face for an answer as she smiled at me and took my hand in hers.

 "Honey , I know it's hard for you. But anyone who can make a change is you. You've got to stand up to those bullies and slap them in the face if they do anything wrong. When I'm gone you have to take care of yourself. Remember everybody in that school is starting high school today. You're not the only one. So get up baby doll and show them what you can do!" My Mum filled me with inspiring thoughts and I got a new courage in me. I got up, hugged my mum and and went to brush my teeth, sleeping many times with the brush in my mouth.

I got into the shower and cleaned and waxed my body. I washed myself and got into my outfit. It was simple one. Black skinny jeans with a striped black-white top. I had a thing for stripes. I simply pulled up my hair into a ponytail. I didn't want to fuss about my hair and makeup. So I just appllied some BB cream and skin tone blush and some lip balm. I stuffed my books and my copies in my side bag and carefully kept 2-3 pens . I am a nerd, I know. I stuffed my phone and my earphones into my jeans and I was ready.

I looked at the clock and I knew this day has started like hell. It was 8:45! School starts at 9:00 and I'm so done now. I ran down the steps two at a time and into the kitchen. My mother was preparing egg rolls. Oh, I wish I had the time to relish them peacefully....But no, I grabbed one from the kitchen counter and kissed my Mum on the cheeks. "They're hot, and I remember what I TOLD YOU!" Her voice came from the kitchen. I smiled as I ran to catch my bus. I hopped onto the bus and took a seat near the window.

Many students filed past me and no one sat near me. I was used to it. So I just took out my glasses and started reading 'The Distant Echo' by Val McDermid. I loved it. I was just so absorbed into the book that I didn't notice a boy sit beside me. He had green hair and many piercings and tattoos. My instinct told me to stay away from him so I just scooted closer to the window and turned my face towards it . Maybe I could fall through the window and get away from this weird guy? 

"I don't bite, you know...not yet" I was startled my his corny comment and seeing my face he smirked at me as he looked at me, "Are you new here?" No I fell from the sky. Duh. I ignored his question and continued reading my book. Suddenly he snatched the book out from my hands and said, " Are you mute?" "No, but I prefer being mute than talking to idiots like you!" He threw the book at me and I caught it swiftly. "Hmm..shy and sweet with the attitude of a chilli, I like that."

I went back  to being mute and ignored him. The bus reached the school and I looked at my watch. 8:56! I MADE IT! I got up and went past  Green Hair. I was just getting out when he caught my hand and I turned to looked towards him, trying to release my hand at the same time. He caught it tightly and got up. He came closer to me and brought his face near my neck. I am 5'3, so he is practically like a giant near me.

 Shivers ran through my entire body as he whispered, " The name's Michael, Michael Clifford. You're new here, and get ready to face hell. Meet me near the field in break. Understood?" 

"What are you, Jesus Christ that I will obey your orders? I am not going to come to the field under any circumstances. Jerk!" I practically yelled at him and wrenching my arm from his grip, shoved past him and hopped down the bus.

Way to go, Jenna!

"You'll regret it!" I heard him yelling after me but I just shook my head and putting my earphones in, bounced to the front gate.
