I was never a good child for my parents. They always had problems with me. I'm the second daughter of my parents. They always compare me with my elder sister. I loved her a lot but because of my parents I hate her now. I am a burden to them, is what they say me – a Burden. But I don't care anymore.
"Cassandra get up you have school. See your sister, she already finished her breakfast. Why are you always like this? Can you go to school on time ever!!?" My mom shouted outside my door. And my day begins as usual with my mom shouting at me before I get up. This is how my morning starts always.
"If you won't get up now I am gone pour cold water on your little ugly face!!" She knows I don't like cold water on my face early in morning as it makes it dry.
"No no no, I am up already!" I told getting up from my bed but the clumsy me got tangled with my blanket and I fell down with my face kissing the floor.
"Ouch!" I cried.
"Are you Dead or alive?" She emphasized dead and told me coldly.
How can someone die by just falling from a bed? Use some common sense mom.
"No I am okay just slightly sprained my ankle."
"Okay now get up and get ready in 15 minutes otherwise go walking to school."
I quickly got up and took the fastest shower ever and got ready in 10 min with 5 min to spare.
I wore my black skinny jeans and a black T-Shirt on which 'Monday Sucks' was written and wore my ankle length black converse. I made a messy bun and applied a dash of mascarra and lip gloss and I was ready to go.
I went downstairs to see my sister fully dressed to go for an interview, my dad was not there I guess he went for a jog. My mom was making coffee for herself.
"Good morning" I said cheerfully.
But in return I just got sound of coffee maker.
I took a toast from my sister's plate and went to my room to take my bag.
My mom was waiting for me in her car. She drops me at school only on Mondays and other days I would go with my friends or alone. Because Monday is after effect of weekend and it makes really hard to wake up early, and walk to school.
We reached my school on time. As usual my friends were waiting for me near the gate but my mom dropped me little away from them. She doesn't like my friend circle, she thinks what I am now is all because of them. She tells me to break my friendship with them but how can you break your childhood friendship? That's impossible for me.
After my mom went I walked to my friends.
"Sorry! I made you guys wait up again. You'll shouldn't wait for me. You guys know me, I am always late on Monday then why do you wait for me?"I ask them as we walked towards the school's main gate.
"Because it is our habit to wait for our late princess ", Mike said putting his hand on my shoulder.
He is my best friend. I had first met him in 4th grade. He is like my big brother. He protects me from everyone like a brother do.
"Hey I am not a late princess I am just a lazy girl who doesn't like to wake up early," I said to him smacking his head.
"Okay okay, boxer stop hitting me," he said putting his hands in front as surrendering with a smirk on his face
"Guys will you hurry we are going to be late" Tessa my girl best friend said to us as we entered our school hallway which was as usual crowded.
We all have same homeroom so we all go together. But not like sane people; we all race to the homeroom and whoever comes last has to pay for everyone's lunch.
So we all stand in a horizontal line and starts the counting.
"1.....2......3.....GO!!"
As we all started running, I collided with a wall in front of me and I was on the floor and for the second time today I was kissing the floor but this time with my butt.
Woah! Wait a sec 'a wall'? Who makes a wall at the middle of a freaking hall?!
Then I heard laughter of everyone present in the hall. Wow what an embarrassment !
As I look up, I was met with a beautiful pair of eye, I have ever seen in my whole life.Blue eyes with a ting of green and brown color.
"I....am.... really.... sorry." The owner of the beautiful eyes said between his laugh.
I came out of my daydreaming and snapped "SEE WHERE YOU ARE GOING!" as I pushed him hard, he didn't fall but he stumbled a little.
The owner of the beautiful eyes was so stunned by my action that he didn't say anything as I left, shooting daggers at everyone. I could feel a hole burning behind my head, so I turned around to see him staring at me with a curious look.
I rolled my eyes and went to the homeroom with my friends.
Well, what a great start of a week.
The first three classes went in a blur and I didn't saw Mr Douchebag in any of the class.
It's already lunch time and I am sitting with my usual group on our usual sit.
Mike is busy with his cell phone obiviously playing something. He is addicted to games.
Tess and Jason are giving a free show to everyone, I mean to say that they are sucking each other's face. Ugh! I hate PDA.
And my other best friend Amy is also busy with her phone. She is a gossip queen and a much socialized person in our small group, so she knows everyone in the school except for the Mr Douchebag. And she claims that he might be new to the school.
Duh it's not possible because everyone else know him.
"Cass you are all over the internet!" Amy says as she shoves her phone into my face.
I take her phone and read a post that was posted on our school's Facebook page.
"Ms.Don't mess with me , today herself messed with our school Mr.Hot. We all are still waiting for the aftermath. Hope we will get some real juicy update soon."
And a photo of me sitting on the floor, rubbing my butt and so called Mr Hot laughing at me was posted.
It already had 1.5k likes, 654 comments and 400 shares.
I sighed loudly and gave Amy her phone back before I would break it.
"I'm going to kill that so called Mr Hot and that will be the juicy news this school is going to get next." I said stabbing my pizza with the fork.
"Did I hear my name?" The oh so Mr.Hot said from behind me.
He have a death wish.
I turn around to see him standing there with his two other friends.
"Yes, you heard right. I was just talking about the garbage bin." I said smiling sweetly at him.
"That's cool, you guys talk about garbage? That's interesting. Why not share it with everyone." He say and takes a sit next to me.
"HEY GUYS! LISTEN UP! Our sweet angry bird is going to talk about garbage bins here." He shouted to the whole cafeteria.
Everyone including the teachers stopped whatever they were doing and looked at us waiting for a new juicy news.
And I, who never stepped back from any thing couldn't let the douchebag win
So I replied "Guys the school's hot shot thinks he is a garbage bin."
Everyone looked at me with curiosity and his face was going red from anger and embarrassment, so I continued with a smirk "Because when I said garbage bin, he told that he heard his name. What that means? It means your so called Mr Hot over here thinks he is a Garbage bin." I finished with a sweet smile and loooked at him.
There was a pin drop silence in the cafeteria, no one dared to do anything, except for my friends who were snickering.
The look on his face was priceless.
He angrily stood up from his sit, hitting the table with his fist and came really close to my face "You are going to regret this. This isn't over" he gritted his teeth and with that he stomped off, leaving everyone even his friends in shock.
I looked around and everyone was staring at me so I just shrugged and continued eating my food. I mean c'mon food is important than anyone else, why would I let it go to waste.
After the cafeteria incident, everyone kept their distance from me. And guess what? Now Mr. Douchebag was all over the internet.
Amy had taken the task of giving me his biography before the school ends, so I will know his name soon.
I am now walking towards the last class of the day that is creative writing and Drama. I love this class so much.
As usual I walked in to see Ms Daisy with some paperworks, I greeted her and went to my sit. Even though I love this class I still sit at the back.
After everyone settled down Ms Daisy started her class by telling us that there is a new student who would join us.
"So I would like to welcome Mr Xander Stone to our class. And I want....." And I couldn't hear what she was telling after I saw the person who entered the class.
That was no other than Mr Douchebag.
Shocker!!!
As if feeling my eyes on him, he looked directly at me and smirked before telling Ms Daisy something.
"Okay, so Mr Stone have choosen a partner for the projects. Ms Walters please make a sit for your new partner. "
Another Shocker!!!
I didn't make a move to empty the seat beside me.
He came towards me with his eyes burning with revenge and that cruel smirk "Hi there angry bird." He whispered and settled down next to me.
Why is this happening to me? Is this Karma?
After assigning everyone with a partner Ms Daisy opened her mouth and my heart stopped. It didn't actually stopped for real though.
"You all are partners for the whole year. And no swapping or anything."
I don't think I have ever hated a teacher or a class as mush as I hate Ms Daisy and this class right now.
What did I do to deserve this again? Oh yeah, karma.
You might be thinking why I'm asking this well let's take you to the part where it all started.
*Flashback*
"So partners for whole year, huh?"
"My name is Xander Stone."
"My name is just different but I am similar to Christian Grey."
"I have similar interest as him. "
"Do you have a pen?"
"What's your name Cassendra?"
"Opps! I said your name"
"Are you ignoring me?"
"Hmm I think you are."
He stopped after making a self-conclusion that I was ignoring him, which was correct and I thought he stopped, but, boy was I wrong?
He then started poking me! I mean literally poking me with his pen. This boy don't understand anything, do he?!
"STOP IT!!!" I shouted and regretted as fast as I spoke.
The whole class turned around to look at me.
"Am I boring you Ms Walters?" Ms Daisy asked.
"No Ma'am, I'm sorry." I said looking down.
"What's wrong Mr Stone? Do you find this funny?"
"Um no miss."
"A week, after school detention, both of you." Ms Daisy said and resumed her teaching.
"It's entirely your fault." I hissed at Xander.
And he just smiled at me.
*End of Flashback*
"I don't want you both to talk or use phone. Do your work silently. And don't even think of sneaking out." Mr Walhart the detention teacher said as we, I mean me and Xander came to the detention room.
I went to the back of the room, plopped on the seat and kept my bag at the seat beside me, so that Xander won't sit.
But a small thing as bag couldn't stop him from doing that.
"That seat is taken." I said as he removed my bag and sat on it.
"Well, I didn't saw anyone sitting there and I don't see anyone else except that fatass who is already sleeping." He pointed towards Mr Walhart, who was sleeping on his seat and snoring.
"My bag was there."
"Yeah I saw."
"So it means that it's occupied."
"Whoever told that is an idiot."
"Are you calling me an idiot?"
"No, I'm calling the person idiot who told keeping bag on a seat means it's occupied."
"I said that."
"So you are calling yourself an idiot."
"What? I didn't say that"
"Neither did I."
"You called me an idiot."
"Did I mention your name when I said idiot."
"No...."
"So I didn't say you are an idiot."
"YOU TWO GET OUT RIGHT NOW!!!" Mr Walhart shouted.
He might have woken up from our banter.
I grabbed my bag and left the room in a flash.
"Woah that was fun." Xander said catching up to me.
I looked at him, shook my head, and left.
And Karma decided to show up again.
Because I was left alone and I had no ride back home. Great!
So I started walking to my house.
After walking for few minutes a car passed me I thought of asking for lift, but then I thought what if the person is a serial killer or something so I just continued walking.
After a minute another car passed me but this time the car stopped a little away from me, but I ignored it and kept walking.
"Cass!!!" I heard someone call me.
"Cassandra! Wait up!"
I turned around to see Xander waving at me from the same car.
"What do you want?" I shouted back.
"Let me drop you at your home, it's late."
"No thank you I will find my own way."
"Don't be stubborn Cassandra. Just get in." He said slowly driving alongside me.
I just ignored him and kept walking.
Then suddenly the world was upside down.
"AHHH!!!! HELP!!!" I screamed.
"It was your fault and there is no one to hear you" Xander said.
He then opened the door and threw me inside.
"Don't even try to escape." He said before closing the door.
Like I'm going to listen him, so I opened the door but it didn't budged at all.
He fucking put child lock!
"I told you don't try to run." He said and started his car.
I just glared at him and crossed my arms.
"You know you look hot, when you are angry." He said after few minutes.
I didn't say anything and just looked out of the window.
After a awkward silent ride we reached my neighbourhood.
"Here we are." He says and stops the car.
I waited for him to unlock the door but nothing.
"Will you open the door?" I asked when he didn't open the door.
"Oh yeah, sorry." He said and unlocked the door.
I rolled my eyes and got out.
"You are welcome!" He shouted behind me.
"I didn't say Thank you" I replied.
"You just did." He said with a smile.
"Go home Stone!"
"I'm already home."
"What?"
He points towards the house next to my house, where an old couple used to stay and it was vacant for few months.
I just stared at him with wide eyes.
Another Shocker!!!
"See you soon, neighbour." He smirked and left me alone for the information to progress in my head.
Xander Stone aka Mr Douchebag is my new neighbour.
This week really had a great start, not.
