My roommate Cam is completely oblivious to my anti-social attitude as he is to my wish to not to be anywhere around him.
I'm pissed off because he just won't leave me the hell alone as he walks beside me ,joking and smiling easily with everyone almost everyone on the campus knows him and I don't like it much because its drawing their attention to me too and as if that is not enough he is introducing me to all of them. They smile at me ready to greet Cam's 'friend'I glare at them, to let them know how exactly 'friendly'I am.
I couldn't be more relieved when its time for the first class to begin.
Cam is annoyingly beside me as I head off towards the lockers to get some of my books.
I frown at the locker that remains closed despite the right combination I try to yank it open but it won't budge. What the hell is wrong with it??
Suddenly Cam beside me is nervous and alert "Tash stop, don't....."
I yank harder than before and the locker bursts open with a slam spraying me and Cam with color.
The color is on my face, my clothes and Cam as well and since he is a few inches shorter than me it's in his hair too, "s**t" he curses looking down at himself "Dude lets get cleaned up" he says looking towards the direction of the washrooms.
but I'm neither looking there nor am I going there until I teach someone a lesson. I didn't have to try hard to find out who did this as my eyes narrow in the direction of the three guys laughingly pointing at us, though they don't have an 'I'm a moron' sign stuck on their foreheads it is plenty clear they are ones responsible.
"Don't take it personally dude" one of them swaggers towards us.
freaking swaggers!
"It's just the way we say hi to new students at Brilston"
I clench my teeth and beside me Cam whispers urgently "Nick is bad news, let's get going from here"
Behind that prick named Nick his cronies laugh and bump fists one of them doubles over with laughter yelling "look at their faces!"
Nick grins and I loose my s**t .
The next second he is flying through the air and lands on the floor clenching his nose howling his cronies take some time to recover from their laughing fit to realize what had just happened.
I grab both of them by the front of their T-shirts and pull them close "This is my version of saying Hi" I slam the guy who yelled at our faces a little too hard against the locker and push the other one away , he slips on his butt more because of his fear than force.
The next moment they both scramble to their feet hurriedly and run away picking up their bleeding looser of a friend.
Beside me, Cam lets out a whistle "Dude that was cool! " His eyes are shining with excitement "Scary but cool"
I hadn't realized how big of a crowd this chaos had attracted.
They are all looking at me wide-eyed and stunned.
I glare back at them darkly sending a silent message yet loud and clear "Mess with me and I won't hesitate to kick your ass"
A while later we are on the way to the Principal's office after cleaning ourselves up in the washroom. Cam has changed his T-shirt for some lame orange T-shirt he found in lost and found, he had dung up one for me too but I had refused.
One: because it was lame too
Two: It was rather small for me. I have noticed that I'm taller than most of the mortals here
Three:I simply don't care.
I walk into the office in my dripping T-shirt.
The principal launches into a long rant. This man is a complete contrast from the pleased smiling guy I saw yesterday ,today he looks like he would burst a blood vessel in his head.
"Mr.Darkmyr you have been here for just two days,just two days and you have already inflicted violence on three students" he says holding up three fingers like I don't know how many three are.
I won't call it inflicting violence,I barely hurt that guy's cronies, sure one of them would walk around with a bump on his head for a few days but that was no big deal.
The principal, however, is on a roll,
Lecture...
Lecture..
Lecture...
and did I mention he had sent away Cam back to class a while ago because 'He wasn't involved'
' Lucky i***t ' He didn't have to get his ear filled with all this useless crap about moral behavior.
Finally, the Principal seems to arrive at the finale of his rant
"Mr.Darkmyr ,I expect you to be on your best behavior from now on.I do not want a juvenile delinquent on my campus"
and I am almost tempted not the first time now to say even I don't want to be here but damn! Arkan and his talk about discipline helping my case, my hands are tied.
I give a short nod.
He looks satisfied "You may leave for your class now"
I don't linger even for a second longer.
