Chapter 11: People Have Different Reactions

(Ember's POV)

Monday Morning

"Psst, wake up.", I hear somebody say as they poked my cheek.

"Wake up.", the voice said again.

"Stop being annoying or I'll end up decking you in the face.", I say

"Ember, wake up!", the voice yelled and I punch the person and sit up rubbing my eyes.

"Dylan?", I question.

"Damn, how can you punch that hard?", he asked and I shrugged still feeling sleepy.

"I think that was one of the best nights of sleep I've had in like forever.", I yawn out as I stretch.

"Yeah, well I figured I'd get you up. Time to get up and get ready for hell.", he says and I roll my eyes.

"This isn't hell, more like..... miniature torture house.", I say walking to my closet getting my uniform out, getting my bathroom things, and walking out towards the bathroom.

-------30 minutes later-----------------

Right now I'm putting my clothes on and walking to the sink to brush my teeth. I here the door open then close and I look up in the mirror to see who it was. When I look up I see Aaron, Yasmine, and Mackenzie and her group.

"Well well well, if it isn't the mental girl.", she says and I roll my eyes.

"If you knew why I did it you wouldn't be calling me mental.", I mumble to myself.

"What was that?", Mackenzie asked and I rolled my eyes

"Nothing.", I say and she laughs

"That's what I thought, bitch.", she says and I roll my eyes not letting what she called me affect me.

"I really, really wanna beat her face in.", I say finishing brushing my teeth and wiping my mouth off.

"Don't we all?", Aaron sighs making me and Yasmine laugh.

"Well I'll meet you guys at class.", I say leaving the bathroom and walking back to the dorm.

I open the door to see Dylan rubbing his jaw and Blake laughing to death in front of him.

"So um, hey guys.", I say walking in the room and closing the door. Blake starts clapping.

"You did amazing on your work of art.", Blake says and I look at him confused. I then look at Dylan who looked like a PMSing lady.

"Wow, Dylan do you wanna borrow a tampon or something?", I ask and then hear Blake burst out laughing.

"What?! I'm being dead serious he looks like he's PMSing or something.", I say to him.

"Where'd you get the bruise?", I ask

"You.", Dylan said bluntly.

"You're kidding right?", I ask

"Nope, I'm dead serious. Now I know not to wake you up.", he says and I laugh.

"Good, lesson are learnt better if you learn the lesson the hard way.", I say getting my things together. I look at the time to see that it's 7:20. I grab my hair brush debating on whether or not I should brush my hair or if I shouldn't.

"Screw it!", I yell deciding not to brush my hair and just throw it up into a messy bun.

"Let's go, I don't wanna be late for classes because of me talking to you two.", I say walking out the door with my things.

------In First Class-----------------------

The bell went off about 15 minutes ago and the teacher still isn't here. I let out a loud inhumian groan.

"What the hell do you call that?", I hear Yasmine ask and I shrug making my head onto the desk for extra dramaticness, is that even a word? Whatever. Imma bout to walk outta this class in 5 minu-

My thoughts are cut off by the door shutting.

"OH THANK THE LORD AND HEAVENS! I HAVE ENTERTAINMENT!", I yell causing the class to laugh.

"I'm not in the mood with you today Ms.Jones.", Mrs.Peterson says.

"Aww, you're no fun.", I say pouting.

"Let's get started with today's work shall we.", she says going on and on and on about whatever she was talking about then I heard her call my name.

"Ember Jones!", her voice boomed around the room.

"Patricia Peterson!", I yell back sarcastically.

"Were you even paying attention at all?", she asks and I gulp.

"Of course I was.", I say matter-of-factly

"Oh really, then what were we talking about?", she asked

"Um.... A novel that we're gonna start reading?", I say in more of a question then statement.

"And what novel would that be?", she asks

"Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief?", I ask

"Hmm, I guess you were listening.", she says turning around and going back to teaching.

---------20 minutes later-----------------

SLAP!

"Ow!", I yell and look up to see Mrs.Peterson

"I called you're name 10 times.", she says holding a ruler.

"Okay, sorry. I ain't got no excuse though so...", I say trailing off and then

WHAP!

"Ow!", I yell holding my wrist

The bell rings and I thank the heavens for that.

-------Time Skip To Lunch Time-------------------

Right now Aaron, Yasmine, Blake, Dylan, and I are sitting at our usual table just talking about whatever then guess who comes up to us.... Yep, the one and only Mackenzie.

"Hey guys and mental girl.", she says

"Stop calling me that.", I say to her as politely as possible.

"Why should I, it's the truth, right?", she asks and I clench my fists together.

"Just leave us alone okay!", I yelled at her and she laughed.

"Or else what, you gonna burn the place down?", she asks and I was about to punch in the face when somebody yelled

"Leave her alone you bitch!"

"Nobody was talking to you Tristan.", she says and rolls her eyes.

"I'm seriously in the mood to beat your face in.", I tell her so calmly that everyone at the table froze.

"Yeah, I think you really ticked her off.", Aaron says with a smirk

"I'm gonna give 5 seconds to run before I beat the crap outta you.", I tell her and she gulps.

"This isn't the end of this.", she yells and walks away.

"God I hate people like her.", I say more to myself then anything.

---------Right After Lunch----------------

I feel a tap on my shoulder and see the girl who yelled at Mackenzie earlier

"Hey.", I say facing towards her, she gives a little wave.

"Hi, I just wanted to introduce myself.", she says and stretches her hand out.

"Tristan Morgan, it's nice to meet you.", she says and I shake her hand

"Ember Jones, it's nice to meet you too.", I say to her.

"Thanks for what you did, I probably would've killed her.", I say to her and she giggles

"Well, she makes it really easy for anybody to want to kill her.", she says back to me.

"Alright, it was nice meeting you Tristan but I gotta get to class so.....", I say trailing off

"Okay, see ya around.", she says waving and walking away.
