It's Monday morning, and I'm walking around hella early outside, in the fucking cold! My stupid mother wouldn't let me have some of her blood stashes! God that woman annoys me so much! I check the time and it says seven thirty-five, I have to be at school by eight, I live pretty far from school so to make it to school on time I would have to leave now. I still haven't even eaten yet, ugh stupid mother! I ran to school hoping to make it on time. Just as I reach inside the building the bell rang, meaning I would be late to class.

I jog to my locker upstairs and get what I need, then slow back downstairs to the attendance office. The lady there greeted me with a soft smile.

"Hello! How may I help you?" She kindly asks.

"Ah yeah, I showed up late" I rub the back of my neck shyly. I hate this, I'm a fucking prince, these people should be bowing at my feet.

"Oh! Okay sign this sheet, put your name, what time you showed up, whether you're signing in or out, and if you have a note" she hands me a clipboard and a pen.

"Thank you" I chirp with a small smile.

"No problem sweetie, I'll write you a slip for the first period" She starts writing things down as I quickly fill out the sheet of paper

"All done," I say as I hand her back the clip bored she smiles and hands me the slip.

"Hurry to class! you don't want to be even later do we?" she playfully glares at me. 

"Well," I drag out the word and shrug. "I wouldn't mind" I smile at her.

"Get to class!" she giggles and shews me off.

"Okay, okay have a nice day ma'am" I wave goodbye and she waves back I walk very slowly to class.

Hopefully, Max isn't there, today would be even more shit than it already was! But with my luck he will be, I walk into the first period and low and behold there he is, but he looks kind of different? When I walked in he had this stupid ass smile on his face like he always does but when he looked at me his expression changed from happy to I dunno what, I just know it felt weird, I eye him carefully before Mrs. Dodds voice caught my attention.

"You're late Mr. Thurman" Mrs. Dodd spat out and marched up to me.

"I'm aware Mrs. Dodd I-" I was explaining when she cut me off

"Why where you late?" She hisses out

"Well if you would keep your mouth shut long enough for me to speak" I hiss back and she looked at me all big-eyed "My alarm did go off until seven forty-eight" I handed her the note from the attendance lady and started to walk to my desk, I was a total dick just then but I don't care I'm too tired and far too hungry to care.

"Excuse me Mr.Thurman but you will be spending the rest of the class period inside of in-house" She smirks I only shrug, beats being in math for an hour, I leave and walk out of the classroom and head to in-house but on the way out I caught a glimpse of Max's face and he looked sad and annoyed, I just shrug it off.

Why is he sad about me leaving? Normally he would laugh like everybody else, why is he so weird today? Well, whatever it's not important now. I walked into in-house and Mr. Locks looks at me and sighed.
