Just plain twisted ,
For good or for bad ,
To bring her trouble ,
Is my plain delight
Ambrose
One of the things that suck about not having a friend share the same class with you is doing your assignment yourself .
Most of my friends and I share the same class except for , Astronomy.
We share our assignments among ourselves, Obviously not exactly word to word ,with a little variation here a little modification there.
The major problem with Mrs. Riley was she wanted our assignments handwritten .and I'm sure most of my classmates must have finished there assignments by now. Mrs.Riley has given us this assignment since forever.
But most of my high school life my motto for Assignments and homework has been: If tomorrow is not the due date then today is not the do day.
And it made me smirk thinking somewhere in this small town princess must be cribbing and sulking because of this assignment.
The next morning when I walk into the class and see Alicia sitting in my seat ( Which doesn't surprise me ) because within the past few days she had made it clear ample of time that she didn't like the way I was with Miara , Creating trouble .
This was her own way to protect her.
Ha! Like It would stop me.
" Hi , Ali I see you stole my seat " I say stopping beside the girls
The shocked expression on Miara's face to see the easy familiarity between me and Alicia is comical.
Surprise! The big bad wolf has a sweet little friend.
But Ali being Ali tries to convince her that I'm not bad, but Maira remains unconvinced..
Good for her to not delude herself because I'm not stepping down from the position of her personal trouble maker any time soon. She is way too entertaining and intriguing to not trouble.
The girls continue their debate when my gaze drops to the open bag on the floor,Maira's bag.
And if I'm not mistaken , that is her Astronomy assignment peeking out of her backpack. It's practically begging me to pick it up.
And I'm anything but a cruel person.
Smirking I quickly bend down and as soon as I do Maira jumps back in her seat . Amused I tell her to relax " I'm just tying my shoe lace "
She keeps her suspicious eyes on me.
Thought she doesn't want me to know its quiet obvious , I make her jumpy .
Nice .
with her assignment in my hand and before she can see what I had done I say bye to girls and just because I can resist it , I call her scardy cat under my breath.
Dropping a hint to her, that despite her pretense to act calm and collect around me I know she is anything but.
I'm getting bored !!
Only ten minutes in this class and I'm already getting bored out of my mind.
Things would have been different if I had Maira to irritate.
Man , You should see the faces she makes when she is angry .
I'm sure she thinks they are scary and intimidating but to my eyes they are really , really funny.They don't faze me a single bit . I have seen bunnies fiercer than than her !!
I look ruefully in Alicia's direction .spoilsport
Drumming my pen against my the desk , I try to think of something else to kill time .
A smile creeps on my face when my eyes fall on the assignment I just got from her backpack .
I flip it open and turn the handwritten pages one by one.
Her handwriting is pretty nice . I observe that she gives a sort of tail to her M's and H's .
And I have to admit , I'm surprised by the amount of info she had collected within such a short time given to her .
She is smart , I 'll give her that
Majority of her assignment is is correct . And I have no idea what posses me I feel the sudden urge to correct her few mistakes here and there .So , I do .
And on top of it I even submit her assignment to Mrs. Riley along with mine.
I don't know for sure , But I've always had a suspicious feeling that she always awards slightly higher marks to those who turn in their assignments early.
So far I haven't been proven wrong.
I think she thinks we are a dedicated lot ( Imagine that ) , But I have always been among the ones to turn in the assignments right after first hour . Ever since the previous semester.
No Don't look at me like that .
I might not be serious about the subject , But when I do something I have to be the best at it.Blame it on the beast inside me or may be I'm just OCD .
I can't ever accept being an average or anything less than the best.
I forget about the assignments until lunch.
When I extent my hearing towards Miara's table and hear her talking to her cousins bout it .
She whines and rants about loosing her assignment.
I smirk .
Girl is gonna get a shocker !
As expected she is pissed off ( Yaee! that means fun for me ) When I poke her with my pen she looks all but ready to tear off my head , I grin and torture her ruthlessly.
Tne girl is on a roll today , She hisses a threat at me that makes me grin wider
She is so amusing !
When the teacher comes in everyone around starts giving away there assignments ,
I wish I could see Miara's face, she all buts falls out of her chair when the teacher starts singing her praises.
And as smart as she is , she takes no time to figure out I was the one behind her ' Lost assignment ' plight all along.
It starts with a simple but a furious look on her face ," What did you do ?"
" What did I do ?" I say innocently , Though it fools none of us. She knows me too well and blows off my act
" We aren't five year old anymore, you know, " She says placing her hands on her hips and I'm sure it is all to convey her anger but the written quote on her purple tee , The ' DAMN' of it stretches impressively over her chest . Which is so clearly not childish at all . In fact its damn...
I blink turning my eyes to her face.
What hell is wrong with me ?
There is no way I was checking her out.
" What your doing is childish " She says
Actually , the exact contrary of being childish.
But then,I pause repeating her words in my head and a smirk creeps up my face.
She thinks I'm incompetent at torturing her .
" Don't worry ,now that you have pointed it out , I'll up my game "
With a wink at her shocked expression, I walk out of the class room.
She asked for it , Who am I to deny her ?
