Behind the Strings

Classroom antics

I stood at the door to my classroom, a look of pure disgust displayed on my usually disciplined face. I guess it's my fault that I was late for class, it just means all the good seats were taken.

Don't get me wrong I have loads of friends, but I don't get along with many of the students in my class this year, so no one saved me a seat. There was one seat available at the back of the class.
And knowing my luck, I could've guessed exactly who was sitting at the desk directly to my left...

"YOU!"

I blurted the words before I could think. The entire class twisted around in their chairs to see what weirdo just shouted at the back of the class.
I felt my face flush red slightly and I swiftly took my seat, making a point to glare at the imbecile to my left.

................................................................

The teacher droned on and on about some civil war or something. You'd think we'd care more, going to such an elite school, but most of us use classroom time to mess around and then learn everything for examinations in the catch ups. Basically, we learn while we study.

I crumpled up around 20 small paper balls and began to flick them to my left. I missed a few times. One hit her shoulder, another hit the side of her face and bounced off onto the floor. "Oh my god stop!"
I sat back in my chair, a smug look on my face. "Or what princess? Is daddykins gonna sue me? Awww."

She grit her teeth together and turned away, seemingly in frustration. "You know Kain Grey, you don't have to be such an asshole!"
I would question how she knew my name if I wasn't top of my class in every subject, making me the smartest in the school, obviously. :3
I mean... What's the harm in retaliating right?

"Ooh look who's playing queen bee!"

"What would you know?!"

"A lot according to my grades ."

"Ugh! You're blinded by arrogance!"

"Jeez, you a crazed fortune-teller wannabe? 'Cause that's what you sound like!"

I never get into petty fights like this, because they're stupid, but I never realised how much fun they are!
It seems to be relatively one sided though, she seems to be genuinely upset.
Good. Serves her right, acting like she dictates everything. Pshh, what a dump this school's becoming. Must be going seriously downhill if they let someone like her in.

I know exactly how to settle this...
"Hey leftie!"

"Don't call me that you creep."

"I know how to conclude this argument!"

"It's not really an arg-"

"Shhhhhhh!"
She doesn't need to interject!
"We can settle this a civilised way, the Edgewood way."

A competition.
