"A squared plus B squared equals..? Lauren could you answer for me please?"
I mumbled out an almost inaudible C squared and rolled my eyes as my math teacher, Mrs. Downs, called on me to answer the question we had been working on for the past twenty minutes.
She must think I'm stupid or something for asking that when she's been telling us over and over again for so long!
"Correct Lauren!"said Mrs. Downs way too enthusiastically for my liking.
Mrs. Downs is my least favorite teacher. She treats her classes like they were first grade classes and always picks on me for some unknown reason. I have one of the best grades in the class and have all A's in all my other classes, but apparently she is completely oblivious to her students and only cares about repeating things too many times.
As Mrs. Downs blabbed on about the Pythagorean Theorem I stared at the door wondering what my reaction would be if my idol, Tobuscus, walked in.
Would I scream? Would I scream and fall off my chair? Would everyone look at me like I was a freak or would they help me?
My thoughts were brought to a complete stop as Mrs. Downs called on me for, what, the fifth time today?! Even though I didn't really care about math or Mrs. Downs, I could feel my cheeks flush red because I realized I didn't know what she had asked and everyone was staring at me.
"What..?" I whispered out. I heard some snickers coming from the opposite side of the room where my enemies, Alice and Bergen were sitting.
Ugh, why did they hate me so much? I haven't done anything to them! I'm surprised Mrs. Downs didn't call them out on that. She doesn't usually tolerate rudeness from other students, but today she must have made an exception for her favorite students.
"Lauren, what I asked was; A squared plus B squared equals..?" Mrs. Downs said. "Please listen or I am going to have to send you to the office."
"You already asked me that." I managed to squeak out. I hate having to reply to teachers, they make me uncomfortable.
Luckily the bell rang right as Mrs. Downs was about to yell my face off and I packed my stuff and jumped out of my seat and out of that horrid classroom. I put my stuff away in my locker, grabbed my lunch box, and met up with my friend Lila who was walking ahead of me to the lunch room.
"Hows it goin' Lilarz?" I joked as she hit my arm playfully to show me she doesn't like that name.
"Hows it goin' Laurzers?" She replied as we walked to the lunchroom. I looked to my right at the mirror in the bathroom and saw my dirty blonde hair was in somewhat of a rat's nest on my head. I quickly ran over to the mirror and tried to comb it out with my fingers but to no avail it was still tangely. Lila had realized that I had walked off and came to find me. She smirked at my failed attempts to calm my hair.
"Don't be judgin'" I said as I saw her eyeing my hair and she let out a giggle. I gave up and grasped Lila's arm and pulled her along to the lunchroom. We sat down at our usual table in the far right corner of the lunchroom and opened our lunch boxes. Hopefully Bergen and Alice wouldn't come over here today as they usually do just to annoy us.
"So," I sparked up a conversation, "Did you see the new Tobuscus video?" Lila and I were both obsessed with him.
"The Christmas Creed one?" She asked "I loved that!"
I started thinking about Toby again and how I would love to meet him. I could always turn 28 and go and see him, but I've sworn not to use my power with anyone. I haven't told anyone yet, I think they would say that I'm crazy and put me in a mental hospital or something. I would not want that. I looked over my shoulder and saw Alice and Bergen walking over to us.
"Oh great." I mumbled as they walked closer to us. I wish they would just go away.
"Why hello there bus kisses." Alice snarled and I scoffed.
"What do you guys want." I replied coldly. This could never end well. Lila and I made silent communication to confirm we weren't going to put up with their bullying this time.
"We wanted to check up on you to make sure you didn't have a fangirl attack over a new video." Bergen replied sarcastically. Fangirl attack, really? I know that I shouldn't be complaining about the rudeness of an insult towards me, but she really couldn't have come up with a better one?
"Fangirl attack?" Lila sneered. "I think you could work on your insult skills Bergen, try again." I always have admired Lila's ability to stay calm in a heated situation like this.
"How about she tells you that you are ugly, good for nothing freaks that don't belong here!" Alice yelled.
The rest happened in a blur. All I knew was that I had gotten really, really angry and Alice was laying in a ball on the ground. Everyone was staring at me like I had 10 heads, even Lila, and that made me feel uncomfortable. I heard whispers come from around me.
"She punched Alice, OMG."
"Someone should have caught that on video!"
"Who is that girl?"
"Ding dong the witch is dead!" I'm pretty sure that was my classmate, Ingrid. After her comment I heard a few chuckles.
A boulder dropped in my stomach as I realized what I had done. I looked down not expecting to see a bloodied, slightly mangled pile of Alice staring daggers into my eyes. Her icy blue eyes, a shade lighter than mine, sent shivers down my back as she opened her mouth to speak.
"SOMEONE. TELL. THE PRINCIPLE. AND. HAVE. HER. EXPELLED!!!" Alice screamed out to the crowd. Almost instantly Bergen shot out of the crowd and started off to the principles office I assumed. What would I say when I had to go down there?
She's just terrible and deserved it. No, too rude.
Um.. yea.. I hit Alice, but wait! She was bullying me and I needed to stand up for myself! Yea, that would work.. I guess.
I can just imagine: "Lauren Brooks please report to the principles office, I repeat, Lauren Brooks please report to the principles office." Would be blaring on the PA system and then I would have to go downstairs and face my demise. I would have to talk to Mrs. Terrell, she's not mean but not really nice either. And sometimes she has weird mood swings that can go any which way.
I don't know what Mrs. Terrell will say, will she expel me? Or would she side with me for being bullied? If she did expel me, my mom would probably get really mad at me and ground me for a couple months, even if I was being bullied.
My mom doesn't really care all so much about me or my feelings, she only wants good grades and a perfect attendance list so she can be proud of something. She got really bad grades as a kid and her mom wasn't happy with her, so she must be carrying on the legacy of uncaring parenting.
Just as I expected, the dreaded message came on through the PA system and I cringed;
"Lauren Brooks, please come down to the office. Lauren Brooks to the office." An unamused voice said. I looked at Lila and she gave me a worried look.
"I'll come down with you Lau-"
"No Lila, you can't! You might get in trouble too and I can't do that to you." I interrupted her.
"Aww... ok.. Good luck though," she replied with a suspicious tone. I saw the glint in her eye as she looked at the ground trying to avoid eye contact. I knew she was planning something but I decided not to say anything. I would actually want her to come and comfort me, but I wouldn't want to be a bad friend and get her in trouble too.
I looked at the clock on the wall and realized I really needed to go. If I took too long the office probably would get really angry. As I looked around the lunchroom for Lila, I saw her lurking near the exit and she waved at me. I rolled my eyes and took a deep breath.
C'mon Lauren, you can do this. Stop being such a baby.
I braced myself and walked out the cafeteria door.
