My New Neighbour

Chapter forty-three

What will happen now?

"Well, Mr Jackson is well known for his rude and notorious behavior and I'm not really shocked to see him bunking his classes. Well, let's just say, it's not really your first time, right Mr Jackson?, Mr Heathcliff asked through gritted teeth and crossed his arms over his chest.

Max shrugged and grunted at the same time.

"Am I right, Mr Jackson?", he shouted and glared at Max but the latter glared back at him. Shit! If Max ever looked at me like that, then I wouldn't think twice before running the opposite way and getting my ass as far away as possible. I just hope that that day never comes. Well, he would never hurt a girl, right? I frowned and looked up at him. He would never dare hurt a girl. He doesn't seem like the guy who would hurt a girl but why do I seem so unsure of myself? 

"Well, Miss Anderson, I wasn't expecting such a behavior from your part.", Mr Heathcliff quickly averted his eyes from Max and settled down on me. I swear that I saw him gulping in fright. Heck! Even Mr Heathcliff was afraid of Max.

"Uh! I- I uh.... ", I stuttered and looked at Max for some help but the latter did not notice my begging eyes. I pouted and looked down. Well, I really think that there's no escape from this. I'm in trouble and it's all because of Max.

I knew you were trouble Max but my heart wouldn't agree and I think it still wouldn't agree but why? I don't freaking know.

"Just give us the damn detention and fuck off!", Max suddenly yelled out at Mr Heathcliff and ran his right hand in his hair.

Woah! What the hell? I covered my opened mouth with my palms in shock. What just happened? Is Max mad or what? Like really! How could he talk to the principal like that?

Being shock was an understatement for Mr Heathcliff here. He looked like he was knocked out cold with a bulldozer. Everything went completely still and it was like the silence before the upcoming ravaging storm.

His face was so red with anger. If I wasn't in such a situation, I would have taken his picture. Haha! His face was worth looking at. I don't know but I'm kinda liking this right now. I'm just enjoying this moment. And I don't know why? Maybe it's true that behind every good girl, there's a bad girl. Yeah, I know! I'm being silly over here, thinking about such things but I don't know, maybe it's the bad girl hidden inside me who's re-surging right now. I mean, it feels good, falling in troubles like that.

"Detention after school for both of you.", Mr Heathcliff's authoritative command boomed in the empty hallway and I stepped back. Shit!

"Right! Thank you, Mr Deathcliff !", Max said sarcastically and turned around to walk away but he stopped when he heard me bursting into guffaws. What? I just couldn't hold it anymore. I fell on my bum and laughed till I was out of breath and I still couldn't stop.

Like really! Deathcliff ? Smooth Max, real smooth.

Mr Heathcliff stomped away in frustration and anger and I just giggled even more with the way he walked away. It was like a huge bear taking large large heavy steps to show that he owned the place.

When I looked up at Max, his figure was blurry. Heck, I was laughing so hard that my eyes were welled up with tears but when I wiped the tears away, I saw him looking down at me amusingly. He smirked and chuckled at my behavior.

"W- what ! O- oh my god! T- that was h- hilarious!", I whizzed out and cackled at the same time and Max shock his head from side to side slightly.

"Come on now, get up, you idiot1", he laughed and held his right hand out to me. Oh hell no! He did not just call me an idiot !

How dare he call me an idiot?
