Chapter Five

Haylee-

I get up to retrieve some headphones to please this jackass that won’t stop bugging me. I grab some headphones and head back over towards my bed. I looks at me and gives me an approving nod. I roll my eyes at his gesture. At this point I don’t even want to be on my phone anymore. He ruined the mood and made me all pissy. I shut my phone off and roll over and slowly fall asleep.

The Next Day

I wake up and slowly rise from the sleeping posture I was in. I get out of bed yawing, today was the day classes actually began. I get up and go to grab some clothes to change. Once I finish changing into some ripped jeans and a black plain tee shirt, I grab my bag and stuff my books, a hoodie in case I get cold, and my laptop into it and slip on some shoes. I turn around to see Drew still alseep.

I smile unable to help it, he’s gonna be late. It seems like he forgot to set his alarm. And guess what, I’m not gonna wake him! I turn back around and head out the door snickering. I find my class and slouch down into a seat in the back row. I make it just in time as the professor walks in.

I grab the hoodie I had put in my bag. It was freezing in here. I throw it over my head and put the hood on. I was tired, too tired I rest my head in my arms that we’re currently resting on the desk connected to the chair in front of mine. Slowly as I listen to the professor talk none-stop I find myself drifting off to sleep.

I open my eyes to find the whole room completely empty. I rise my head up just a hard to find the professor sitting at his desk. It had seemed like he was waiting for me. I groan and rise up, flinging my bag over my shoulder, trying to escape this prison without him noticing. I turn towards the doors and a soon as I reach them he says my name.

“Haylee.” He says plainly. Damn it... “Yes professor?” I say un willingly. “Where you going Haylee?” I turn towards him slowly. “To my next class..?” I say shrugging. “You gonna go to another class...to sleep as well?”

“No..I just accidentally fell asleep.” I say wanting to curl up into a ball on the floor. “On your first day really? I expected more from a top student like you. I understand that your only seventeen but that’s no excuse. Your in college, you were brought here because of your intelligence and maturity. So you better act like it instead of sleeping in class I expect you to pay attention and focus like any other student that is here.”

“You’re not the only one who worked to get here Haylee. Just because your seventeen and got a scholarship here at your age doesn’t mean your any different from anyone else here. So that doesn’t mean you can just sleep the class and expect to get away with it. So if I find out your pulling this stunt again it won’t be good for you. I will call Professor Clin and tell him not to mark you absent but you better get your act together Miss Brooks.”

“I’m sorry Mr. Johnson I really wasn’t trying to give you that impression. I really wasn’t!” I say panicking. “I was just really tired and got no sleep last night. Of course that’s no excuse! ...But I will work hard I promise you that, and I don’t expect to be treated differently either. I understand that everyone else around me worked as hard as I did. So I will do my best. But anyway I’m sorry for the delay it won’t happen again!” I say turing to leave so I wouldn’t miss the next class.

I head to the next class which was biology. I enter the room and he was already teaching the formaula of composition of water and glucose. I take a seat in one of the rows upfront and pull out a notebook from my bag and begin taking notes. At the end of class I pack up my things and get ready to leave when Mr. Clin calls me to his desk. Ugh not again.

“Yes Mr. Clin?” I ask. “I had seen that you were paying attention unlike what I was told by Mr. Johnson. But don’t worry Mr. Johnson really isn’t that bad, he just wants he best for his students and he takes his teaching seriously but he is a really nice guy once you get to know him. So don’t get scared or frightened by him. He really just wants the best for you. Trust me on that.” He said giving me a slight smile.

“Thanks that helps a lot. You seem really nice thank you.” I say returning the smile back. “Of course now you better get going.” I turn to leave, “Right thanks again!” I say before running out the door.
