DREAMY EYES

He resumed walking. He figured since the boy was a trouble maker, he totally had to be popular and the principal sure as hell would know who he was.

His hands couldn't leave his cheek as he marched his way to the principal's office. He was still in shock. That bloody bastardized arrogant cow dung had dared to lay his filthy hands on his skin! He! Jeremiah Brent! what gave him the audacity!

The moment he got to the office door,he didn't bother knocking and stomped his way right in.

The principal raised her head with furrowed brows to bark at who intruded without bothering to knock, only to break into a wide smile the instant he saw Jeremy.

"Jeremy, how can I help you" the principal said flashing her best paparazzi smile.

"I want him arrested immediately" Jeremy yelled, dropping his bag on the floor and gesturing downward with his index finger.

"who?" asked the principal stunned.

Jeremy was close to tears, his hands were still holding his cheeks how could a slap still sting till this moment he wondered.

It's been minutes yet Five fingers were still imprinted on his face in addition to the sting.

"I want that bastardized fool arrested this moment!" Jeremy yelled again. The principal was utterly confused.

"calm down Jeremiah and have a seat. Tell me what is going on" the principal prompted, gesturing to one of the empty chairs in front of her desk.

"Ma a psychotic nincompoop just slapped me!"

"what! someone dared to lay his hands on you?" the principal questioned utterly surprised. That student must have a death wish she thought.

"who slapped you?"

"I don't know his name" Jeremy replied.

"how is it someone slapped you and you didn't get his name"the principal asked, eyes wide.

"okay do you have a description" the principal added, brows raised.

"Some dickhead with a stupid tattoo around his neck" Jeremy said, his hands still massaging his cheeks to ease his pain.

"did you say a tattoo around his neck" the principal asked with an odd expression on her face. Jeremy nodded like a baby then he added "I want him arrested and punished"

"err... master Jeremy I'm terribly sorry but I cannot do that" the principal replied grimly.

Jeremy felt his head spin still in anger that now had confusion added to it.

"why?" he asked

"his father is one of the founding fathers of this school ... from the beginning he'd been part of it so I'm sincerely sorry he cannot be arrested" the principal replied.

Jeremy gave the principal a death glare. He suddenly had the urge to jump on the woman and strangle her to death but jail time wasn't on his agenda.

Instead of succumbing to his temptation, he drew in a harsh breath.

"so do you mean that fool isn't going to be punished for slapping me?" Jeremy eventually asked, still glaring at the principal.

"Master Jeremy I'm absolutely sorry...had it been another student, I would have him expelled immediately but I cannot touch this student in question! please do understand Master Jeremy" the principal said diplomatically.

Jeremy couldn't believe his ears.

He'd never been more insulted in his entire years of existence...he felt insulted to the core and he couldn't help seeing himself as a looser. He just couldn't believe the useless thing had dared to slap him and was going to end up scot-free.

That was it....he had to call his father.

**********

The school bell signaled the end of recess.

Lisa walked into the classroom. She searched the class for her crush and couldn't find him.

Just when she sat down and brought out a novel to bury her head into, Fred walked up to her.

"hey beautiful, what's up" he said, placing his hands on her desk and leaning in.

Lisa rolled her eyes and turned her face, her eyes looking everywhere else but at him.

She was beginning to hate the idiot.

At first she started the entire lovey dovey thing with him just for fun and to boost her rep, but now, she just wasn't digging it. Now he was getting on her nerves.

"did i do something wrong Lisa? come on...why are you treating me this way" Fred said to her softly.

Lisa hissed like a snake whose child was about to be abducted then without a word, she bent her head on her desk and resumed her reading, placing the novel on her laps.

"Lisa what..." Fred began but she cut him short.

"What's the matter with you huh? Can't you tell when a person is in the mood for a conversation and when they're not? Let me be!" she said in anger.

Fred flinched from her outburst and cowered away, finally getting the memo.

She was midway into flipping a page when Jeremy walked in.

Lisa practically drooled as her eyes followed him to his seat and even when he'd sat, she just couldn't stop staring.

She imagined herself getting lost in those blue eyes of his.

She noticed other girls in class had the same dreamy look as she did and it made her some what pissed.

Some of the damn idiots were removing imaginary stains from their dresses, others were arranging their clothes that wasn't even disordered, some even had the audacity to wink at him! she took note of their faces... those winking idiots! she was so totally going to have a good word with them later.

Jeremy paid no one any inkling of attention as he produced his phone from his bag and buried his eyes in it.

Lisa kept on staring and couldn't understand why one part of his cheeks was burning bright red.

She was still in her dreamy state when she heard her name.

"Lisaaaa!"

She jerked out of her reverie at the sound of her name.

She turned to her friend Mara who gestured towards the front of the classroom.

The teacher was staring at her like she'd gone crazy.

Lisa sat upright in her seat and attempted to pay attention to what was being taught in the class but it was futile. She occasionally stole glances at Jeremy and was unable to focus on anything but him.

Well having a gorgeously handsome Adonis you're crushing on, sitting just few inches from you does that to a person.

The moment the teacher walked out of the classroom, her friend Mara turned to her.

"what made you so lost earlier"

Lisa just rolled her eyes and gave her a sharp retort.

"it shouldn't be any of your business"

Mara raised her hands in a surrender gesture and turned to face her desk.

"what do you think I can do to get that guy...I really want him for myself" Lisa asked conspirationally, her voice barely above a whisper.

"you need to get your head clear girlfriend. Kill those stupid feelings you have for that rude brat....he doesn't suit you one bit" Keira who over heard their conversation replied straightforwardly.

"I wasn't talking to you so shut your mouth!" Lisa fired and turned back to facing Mara.

"tell me girl ... how can I make him mine" Lisa asked again, that lovestruck look in her eyes.

"it's easy.... show him you care, sit with him, you can get presents" Mara rambled on, with Lisa seriously taking down notes as though she was having the best lecture of her life.

By the time Mara was done, Lisa had a bright smile on her face.

**********

"Hello, can I have a word with you" Jeremy heard a feminine voice in front of his desk. Be didn't even bother to raise his head as he knew it would be one of those idiots who'd been staring at him with ogling eyes since day one.

"can I talk to you?" she repeated and this time, Jeremy raised his head to give her a glare that could have ended her life if looks had the power to kill.

He was still angry about having a red face and having to carry it throughout the day. Now this thing had dared to stand in front of him to infuriate him more!

'Oh she was so going to get it ..she was so going to get it' he thought.

He was about to fire her a retort when the school bell rang.

Jeremy shouted inwardly. Saved by the bell!

He quickly packed his bag and everything belonging to him still outside his bag and vamoosed from the classroom, completely ignoring the girl who looked on in bewilderment. If only she knew how lucky she'd been to escape Jeremy's brutal tongue lashing.

Jeremy headed to the parking lot and waited for his driver who arrived shortly after.

He hopped in and reveled in his anger as the driver drove him home.

He's first day at school had been a complete and utter disaster.

How in the world was he to survive the useless place for lord knows how long.
