Summer School Chapter 8

"Your father's dead? What's the big deal about that?" His voice was confused, with a tinge of annoyance. Sighing, he shifted his weight and ran a hand through his light hair. Really, really light hair. Literally, it was almost bleach blonde.

Shaking my head, a small sound between a cough and a snort, erupted from my throat. "I knew you wouldn't get it." Still shaking my head, my tongue massaged my cheek.

"Then why did you tell me, Ms. Cel?" My face grew dark with that and without another word, I slapped him.

Okay, so maybe that wasn't the best idea I could've had...but hey! No one, ever, calls me that besides my teachers...friends....people at school. But he didn't go to my school! Of that I was certain now.

"What did you do that for?" He shouted at me, his hand soothing his now cherry red cheek.

"For saying something I didn't like." My voice was calm, though an underlying strength backed them up.

He laughed suddenly and my eyes narrowed suspiciously. "So if I say you look like an ugly elephant ass, you'll smack me?"

At that, I had to smile. "No, but I'd probably kick your ass." Was my smart reply before kicking him in the shins and storming past him without another word.

I was surprised that he had let me go. I mean, if I was him, I would've forced me to stay and then kis- No! STOP THINKING THOSE THOUGHTS KIM!! I shrieked silently to myself. Let me fix that....there, I would've forced me to stay and then kick my ass.

Confusing? Very. But hey, got a problem with it? Two words that I can say to describe that; Shove it.

I didn't stop once I had made it through the door, or once I had passed the lockers. I didn't even stop once I had hit the classroom. No, I stopped when I sat down in my seat. Dignified.

"Nice to see you back, Ms. Cel." The bitchy teacher commented and I swore under my breath. "Watch your language, young lady." Fuck! I had forgotten that she had really good hearing.

I had found that out the hard way as one day in class I cussed under my breath....only to call her a bitch. Yeah, she heard, and I met the principal that day. Oh, and a failing grade.

Rolling my eyes, I slumped against the back of my chair and cursed her...mentally this time.

I know it isn't the longest, but I write them now and not before-hand..so yeah, they may be very long.

I get to chose a new puppy! I'm thinking about a spaniel. What do you think?

Yeah, I get braces next month! I need them. Bad..but I have seen worse teeth. I'm thinking about getting black and green. What do you think?
