**Noahs Point Of View**
My phone buzzes on the table. I look at the number, it is a number in which i don't recognize. I open the message and read it, Its from Taylor and she misses my company. I wasn't ready to go out and face the questions that would be thrown at me.
"Noah, you okay?" Mr. Chase asks
"Yeah no, I'm fine." I lie
"Yeah, okay." Mr. Chase says "now the truth?"
"I don't know. I feel empty." I say
"I know you do." he says softly "D'you want to go and have a break or...?"
"I'm just going to go hide for a while." I say
"Promise me one thing" he asks
"What?" I say
"You'll go to your major lessons" He says, I just grunt "please Noah... For me?"
"Fine. I promise. But if I get kicked out don't blame me." I say before leaving and going to Taylor's locker.
I walk down her corridor and stand at her locker waiting for her. I want to see her, it might cheer me up.
**RING RING RING RING**
"Noah?" Taylor shouts as she runs towards me and gives me a hug "what happened?"
"Nothing. Nothing happened." I say.
"Ready for maths?" She asks
"No but let's get this over with" I say
We walk into maths and Mr. Flanagan is having a row with a girl who I think is called daisy.
"I'd appreciate it if those earphones were not worn in my class" Mr. Flanagan shouts
"I'd appreciate it if you started the lesson so I could learn something, although that could be highly unlikely in this stupid shit school" daisy shouts back
"Daisy. I shall start thy lesson when and if I am ready. You yourself are not ready therefore I am not prepared and ready to teach the class" Mr. Flanagan says
"Just take them out." Jonah shouts "for fucks sake"
"I can't wear earphones but he can swear?" Daisy exclaims
"He has a fair point" Mr. Flanagan protests "they are not uniform therefore they shan't be worn in my lesson"
"Accessories are uniform now? Does that mean that I would have to get a bracelet that matched the school colour?" Daisy jokes
"I will just kick you out and get the senior management team to come and collect you" Mr. Flanagan threatens
"Like I give a fuck" Daisy stated
"Very well then" Mr. Flanagan
He walks over to the phone whilst daisy puts her earphones back in I take my seat at the back and get out my maths book. Everyone else does the same. Daisy just sits smug in her chair, it was funny when she turned up to maths and caused a ruckus.
"Now, for those of you who wish to learn, turn your textbooks to page 394" Mr. Flanagan quotes
"Did you just quote Severus snape from Harry Potter?" Lily Shouts out
"I did. Glad to know someone reads books and isn't glued to social media" Mr. Flanagan says proudly
Jason coffs Daisy's name but she cannot hear us because her music is so loud. We start learning about more alegbra but I manage to zone out and daydream (totally not about Taylor...)
"NOAH" Mr. Flanagan shouts "are you paying attention or are you too busy staring out the window into the courtyard?"
"Courtyard sir." I say sarcastically back
"Get out" he demands
"But-" I say
"OUT" He cuts me off.
I get up and leave the room with my hands in my pocket. I wasn't in the mood for his rubbish, but I kept my promise to Mr. Chase I guess. I turned up to maths and lasted about 20 minutes which to be honest was a massive record for when I felt like this.
I must've been stood out here for 10 minutes before a teacher came around the corner and started walking towards me. He stops at the door and opens it then comes back out with Mr. Flanagan.
"Daisy Church" Mr. Flanagan says "refused to take out headphones and swore at me many times."
"And this one?" Female teacher point towards me
"Nah, leave this child with me. Just take Daisy Ms. Porter." He says as Daisy walks out with her earphones still in.
"Charming I'm sure" I say sarcastically
"Excuse me?" Mr. Flanagan asks
"This child? That's low sir. Quite low." I reply
"Get back in class and keep your Gob shut" he says whilst grinding his teeth.
I strut back in and take my seat. Taylor smiles at me with a cheeky grin and I return in. I wasn't learning anything in the lesson. It wasn't surprising to be honest. Daisy was right. This school had gone to the shit. We had english after this but I didn't want to go. I wanted to curl up into a little ball or just hug Taylor. I felt shit and nothing would fix this.
"Alright, pack up" Mr. Flanagan says but it was unusual for him not to add an insult on the end.
I walk over to Taylor and she smiles
"Wasn't that fun" she whispers
"Totally. I could so do another hour" I whisper back.
The bell rings and we stroll out of the class together. I walk Taylor to english and then make the decision to go or not To go to english. I could just sit in the library, I mean I'd be surrounded by books. Sod it. I walk past my english class and make my way to the library. No one was in here which was awesome and quiet. I walk over to the table and place my head upon it, the librarian comes over to me and taps my arm
"Alright Noah?" She asks
"Meh, you know how it is..." I say
"Needed a bit of peace huh?" She asks
"Something like that" I say
"How's life at home? Still going okay?" She says curiously
"It's tough. But I'm getting used to it" I say
"At least you can come here and escape it all" she says with a reassuring smile
"That I am greatful for." I say
She gives me a reassuring hug and goes back to her librarian duties. I couldn't wait for today to be over. I wanted to see Mr. Chase and vent to him but he was teaching the rest of the day. I guess I could sneak off during lunch and see him but what would I tell Taylor? I don't know, God, why does she have to be so damn perfect...

Something Different
Teen FictionI roamed these empty halls looking for my next class. I couldn't find it anywhere, it wasn't on the second floor nor was it on the third. There were no teachers to ask either, they all were in their classes. I started to panic and become frustrated...
