CHAPTER 6: DEAL OR NO DEAL

Ruby’s POV

He joked and then started coming up with the crappiest pickup lines that I have ever heard as jokes in class, and I was so not finding it funny. God if this is punishment for stealing these Nutellas, then you win, just get me out of here. I groaned frustrated.

Don’t get me wrong, Dwight is a very sweet guy, he is precious and we kind of bonded during last night party but this…. this is way out of proportion. I pulled at my hair, half hoping it would fall off and half hoping it will grow longer.

Weird right?

“I can see that you are obviously frustrated, but if you think I am going to take that as a clue and leave, you are so wrong.” Dwight said teasing me.

“That’s it.” I said as I slammed my hands on the table.

“Whoa, take it easy there, tigress. You will draw attention to us.”

“I got a deal for you.” I said smirking.

Dwight looked at my face, as if he was trying to get a clue, then he shook his head saying.

“No, no way. I am not doing any kind of deals with you ever again.”

“Oh come on, what are you so scared of? Is not like you are going to die?” I said smiling.

“The last time I had a deal with you, I jumped out of a burning building.”

“Oh come on, that was in 3rd grade and look, you didn’t die.”

“Ha-ha very funny, but the answer is no.”

“Ok, I promise, this deal is 100% danger free.”

“And I am supposed to believe you.”

“Yeah you are.”

“Excuse me, miss dean and mister Andrews, am I interrupting your lover’s conversation with my boring chemistry lectures.” Mr. Collins said turning to face us.

“Well yes you are, so get back to minding your damn business.” I replied as the class turned to me shocked.

What! I am not the same person anymore. People change, cause they went through shits right? Damn, that sounded so much better when it was in my head. Wait, I still said this too in my head, right…...right?

Mr. Collins was shocked too, I guess, no one had spoken back to him before, well then lucky him, I am the first, big deal, pipe it down your spare throat, if you have any.

“I can’t believe this just came out of your mouth, I am truly disappointed in you, you have detention.” Mr. Collins concluded as he faced the front again.

“Ouch, tough luck.” Dwight whispered.

“Yeah, whatever, where were we?” I said looking back at him.

“You just got detention.” Dwight pointed out.

“And? I am still stuck in this damn school without it anyways, its not as if I had planned to go shopping.” I replied rolling my eyes.

“Okay, I am in, what’s the deal.”

“Deal is, you give me 100 chemistry pickup lines and I will grant you a wish.”

“Anything?”

“Kissing and making out is out…. Who am I kidding. Yeah anything.” I said rolling my eyes.

“And if I fail to give you 100 chemistry pickup lines?”

“I will get to that later so do we have a deal?”

“Yeah, I guess we do.” Dwight said as he brought his hand for a handshake.

And that’s how my problems started, I thought he wouldn’t actually give me a 100 pickup lines, because for a while, he kept quiet and I thought I was victorious, hell I was already making planes of what I will tell him to do, but I didn’t know that he was just getting ready, now we are on number 84 and I have never been so frustrated since that holdup in traffic five years ago in Senegal. I already told him to stop, but his smart reply was we had a deal…. I made a deal with the fucking devil.

“Girl, you are a charged atom because I got my ion you.” Dwight said again and winked.

“Oh my god, now he’s at 90. He tapped me again and I looked at him tiredly.

He almost burst out laughing when he saw the expression on my face.

“Go ahead and laugh, you win. I hate you. You win okay, just stop talking.”

“Huh, is that so? Good because I was tapping to tell you that I had run out of pickup lines.”

“What! Noooooooo.” I screamed as the bell rang signifying the end of the class. Mr. Collins glared at me before leaving, but that wasn’t my headache now.

One of my classmates, Sian, aka one of Tracy’s bitch apparently walked up to us and said.

“Hey Dwight, I missed you yesterday, you didn’t show up in my bed again.” She said kissing him right on the lips.

Typical, just typical, another reason why me and Dwight won’t work. I thought as I stood up.

“I guess I better get going and leave you sex deprived freaks here.” I said carrying my bag.

“Ruby, I will get to my prize, later. Dwight said as I nodded my head and left. I was the last to leave, thankfully I had gone out before I saw something that would scar me for life. I unconsciously looked back and I saw that Dwight hands were always in her and she was screaming for life. Damn it, now I am definitely scarred for life. I said as I stormed away to my locker.

*****************************************

Jeiel had left Mrs. Morgan office, after being summoned when she came across Ruby headed down the hallway.

“Hey, Ruby, where are you off to?” She asked.

“My locker.” Ruby replied as she kept on moving, definitely not looking forward to any conversation.

“Your locker? You are heading to the janitor’s closet.” She ran after her and caught her by her hand.

“Ruby. Is anything wrong? What happened? You only go to the janitor’s closet when….”

“I am fine okay. I am fine, so no need to bug in.” ruby said as she snatched her hand from Jeiel’s own and reversed back heading to the cafeteria. Just then, the bell for lunch rung as everyone began to head there too.

*Tiana*

I am so bored of this class. Its fourth period and I was already feeling so tired and bored. I started drawing doodles at the black of my book as I waited impatiently for the bell to ring.

“Hey, nice to meet you. I am Josie Russo.” A girl whispered extending her hand towards me.

I looked at her, then her hand and said sorry, not interested. I came here for a purpose; I can’t let myself be distracted by some irrelevant things. Her hand fell and I should feel bad but I didn’t. I went back to drawing my doodles

The rest of the morning went in a blur. Mrs. Denise even made things worse by just picking me to answer her stupid questions which I answered correctly by the way. Just because I hate it…. wait, which class am I in again? oh shit, Physics… doesn’t mean I shouldn’t try at least right? I looked at the time again and it remained just five minutes for the class to be over.

Josie didn’t try to talk to me after I blew her off and I was grateful. I caught her stealing glances at me but I pretended not to notice.

I was kind of surprised that I haven’t been called to the principal’s office after the stunt that I pulled today. Maybe Blondie and Hotshot were all talks and no actions. Anyways that was the least of my problems and that was when I heard the glorious bell ring. Finally!

I grabbed my stuffs and threw one last glance at Josie and then I walked out the class not before glaring at my new favorite teacher, Miss Denise. Seems like Romeo had a free period like I had last class.

I walked to my locker and punched the combination. Ass hat Aidan wasn’t here, thankfully. I wasn’t up for a rematch. I checked my schedule and saw that it was Lunch already. Wow 3:30pm, how time flies when you having fun. I said sarcastically. After that I had music, and civic before school will finally be over and I could return to my dorm. I sighed.

Today is just not my day, I thought to myself as I grabbed my map and started my journey.

FAST FORWARD

It was lunch break and everything has been going smoothly except for the glances they threw at me. Oh and I forgot to mention that we had two separate cafeterias. One was just for us, the final years and the rest were for the rest of the school. They thought that we needed the space since we are no longer kids and we deserve our own privacy, but deep down, I knew it was just given for kids to have tantrums without the juniors’ ones finding out about it.

The cafeteria wasn’t hard to find, as everyone made their way towards it, I quickly stashed my map back into my back as I got in, I marveled at the grandness of it. I wondered why didn’t I see it earlier in the morning, but who cares, I am definitely seeing it now.

It was like a dining hall and it had a lot of huge chandeliers. All the table had six chairs each except the one in the middle which had seven. Why were those brats been treating like gods around here, that’s so fucked up? I bought fries, a juice box, an apple and a plate of spaghetti and meatballs, found a random table and started eating. The cafeteria doors swung open and the horrible six walked in, in all their glory.

Pathetic fools. Jock Adrian was in the middle and I could see some girls fixing their hairs and unbuttoning their shirts halfway to show more skin.

They got their food and walked to their table and started talking. Tracy aka Blondie was basically throwing herself on Aidan as she sat on his legs and stroked his chin. Aidan on the other hand looked rather disgusted and the two other guys-the British accent plus another handsome dude were fake gagging at them. Tracy’s minions were giggling endlessly and were throwing winks at every single guy that passes by them. It was kind of funny, when one of them who was a black American threw a wink at a nerd and the guy tripped on his own feet and fell. Poor guy.

Then after a while, I saw three girls with Ruby and they were heading to the table that I was.

Just great. I said rolling my eyes as I continued eating my food. I frowned when I saw Josie and another …. Josie? they were too identical and being in the same matching uniforms didn’t help matters.

“Can I help you?” I asked not even sparing them a glance.

“You certainly can. That’s our table you are in.” one of the twin said aggressively as the twin stamped on her foot and apologized sweetly.

“Sorry, she means can we sit here with you.” The one I presumed to be Josie said.

“Whatever,” I said as they sat down, and they started discussing amongst themselves.

“Everyone, let me introduce our newest classmate Tiana.” Jeiel said trying to make conversation.

“I see. Name is Hazel and this is my twin sister Josie.” Hazel said dropping her feet on the table.

“Bitchy. I like her.” I said smirking.

“Hazel, drop your feet down, that is rude and we are not at home.” Hazel said chastising her.

“So what? You are not the boss of me.” Hazel said stuffing some of her fries in her mouth and sipping her juice noisily.

“I do hope her name will be in that kill list, I will enjoy killing her. That reminds me, why do I feel like I am forgetting something.” I thought in my mind.

“Sorry about that, Hazel can be a bit……comfortable when she is among people she likes.” Ruby said looking at me.

“Define comfortable.” I said in my mind but nodded nevertheless. I decided not to even speak a word to them at all. Hopefully they will get the hint.

“So… how was class today?” Jeiel said trying to make conversation when she saw that I wasn’t ready to speak.

“Class was bitchy today…. Thank god for those Nutellas….” Hazel was cut short as the door opened again and everywhere became grave as a cemetery.

It was Romeo, he walked in, still with his headphones as he took his already served tray from the counter and made his way to where Blondie aka bad breath and the rest sat. immediately blondie stood up from Aidan and sat properly. Even Hazel dropped her feet back on the ground.

What the hell is wrong with everyone? Are they worshipping him? Is he a god or what? I said in my mind then he stopped and looked at me.

I gulped, uncomfortably as the look became obvious that he was staring at me, with no expression on his face.
