Are You Stupid?

  "YO Val! Wake up! " my fifteen year old sister Sadie, through my room door. Groaning, I and turned over in my bed to get more comfortable.

"Alright then" Sadie opened my room door and trudged into my room.

Her footsteps were loud, signalling me that she was close but didn't pay any attention to it until I felt something heavy laying on my back.

"Get off me " I said but my voice was muffled so it sounded like 'Gef off me'.

When Sadie finally got up I got out of bed and glared at her while she was laughing her way out of my room.

It is because of her why I always have to be at school early.

Why?

Because she's fifteen, she isn't permitted to drive.

I sluggishly pad my way to the bathroom for my shower, not fully awake until I felt the hot water touch my skin. After my bath I went to the closet and grabbed my outfit for the day. I left my hair in curly inward layers and didn't even spare my untouched makeup kit a glance. I only applied some lip balm.

I grabbed my messenger bag and stomped my way downstairs where the smell of waffles slapped my almost immediately.

"Wow you look presentable " Mom greeted.

"I didn't bother with the whole dress up thing because Sadie practically dragged me outta my bed for no reason." I said and rested my head into the palms of my hand, still feeling sleepy.

"She woke you up for school." mom reasoned.

"I repeat, no reason"

"Here's your breakfast" mom replied not bothering to argue about something like this because she knows that once it includes my sleep, food, clothes or electronic devices then this is an argument that she can't win.

The plate was in my hand the minute she whirled around with it in her hand. The pancakes were finished in a matter of seconds, along with the bacon strips and the glass of OJ. Afterwards I gave my mom a kiss on the cheek and bid goodbye, then I went downstairs to my BMW Convertible and waited. Sadie woke me up because she didn't want to have to wait on me and yet here I am waiting on Sadie . She better hurry up before my patience runs and I leave her.

"Sadie get your butt down here now!!" I yelled from the garage.

"I'm coming " Sadie yelled back from upstairs.

"You got ten seconds to get down here or else your taking the bus!!!" I yelled back earsplittingly.

"Kids stop your yelling or else you'll both end up deaf!!" mom yelled at the both of us. Knowing mom, she was probably seated comfortably in the sofa, watching something on the Lifetime Movie Network.

"Well tell Sadie to hurry up, she woke me up so that she isn't late for school and yet she still isn't ready!!!" I complained.

"Just give me one more minute!!!"

"I'm giving you ten seconds" I yelled "Ten!! Nine!! Eight!! Seven.... "

"I'm coming!!, I'm coming!!"

"Six!! Five!! Four!! Three.... "

By the time I was about to say two I saw Sadie practically fly through the garage door "I'm here "

I opened the car doors and they both got in. Mom opened the garage door and we started on our way to school. On our way to school I could see that Sadie wanted to confront me on my crabby behavior but then decided against it.

°~°~°~°~°

We arrived at school and Sadie went off to a group of kids four guys and three girls.

I sat in the class with my headphones on and I was watching a Miranda Sings parody of No Tears Left To cry by Ariana Grande when I saw a foot beside . I looked from the foot all the way up to the head and saw my best friend Alexis with her hands on her hips looking down at me as if she was expecting an explanation from me.

I slid the headphones from around my head and glanced behind Alexis to see my other other best friend Chloe with a can of Coca Cola in one hand and her phone in her other one.

"Where have you been? " Alexis asked like a demanding parent. Not the ‘I care that you're okay’ type of parent. More of the ‘I'm forced to act like I care for you so don't piss me off. ’ type.

"Please not this again" I begged trying to avoid the questions Alexis is going to bombard me with.

"Okay alright I won't question you "

"What's got you in this pissy mood? " Chloe asked.

"Nothing" I replied with a shrug of my shoulders.

•°•°•°•°•°•°•°

History Class was boring as usual and now it is lunch. Alexis, Chloe and I were eating at our usual table at the far back when out of nowhere a football flew in our table direction and knocked my drink all over my lap.

I was beyond mad, but managed to keep my face stoic as I looked all over the cafeteria to see which doofus threw that ball and saw the laughing face of Nathan Hilton and his monkeys high fiving each other.

"I'm gonna need this " I say to Chloe my voice toneless and grabbed her vanilla milk shake from the table.

My feet made their way over to the populars table and I poured the milk shake  in Nathan's hair. The whole table gasped at my action and I mentally high fived myself when I saw that the milk shake caught Kristina's white crop top and she was frantically trying to get it out.

"WHAT THE HELL!!" He exclaimed shaking his frantically trying to rid his hair of the milk shake making her shirt even worst. Kristina tried her best to cover her hair, face and blouse but it all goes in vain and she's whimpers like a dog at her now ruined but still revealing crop top.

"FOOD FIGHT!!! " some random kid from the average table shouted and in the snap of a finger food was being thrown all over the place.  Fish sticks, Burgers, Pizzas, Yogurt cups, smashed out cake slices, chicken wings, chicken nuggets, fries, Sodas and a whole lot more food can be found on the floor

I was slightly messed up and smelled like pizza but was almost successful in  making my way out of the cafeteria until somebody tackled me and pinned me to the floor. Nathan was straddling me with his knees on my arms, restraining me from pushing him off.

"What was that for? " he inquired angrily.

"Why did you throw that ball at me? " she snapped back in the same tone of voice that he used.

He was about to answer when the school's principal Mr. Gooden aka Mr Pudding came in looking around the cafeteria incredulously glaring at all the students like a wild bull.

"Who started all of this!?!" Principal Pudding exclaimed.

Everybody turned and pointed at Nathan and I who were still in the awkward position.

Sellouts.

"You two to my office NOW!! " Principal Pudding bellowed and went back to his office.

Everybody turned to the both and that distracted Nathan enough so that I could push him off of me l. I got up warily knowing that there is food everywhere and I might slip. Which I did.

Nathan was quick to catch me, holding me by my waist to steady me while both of my hands were gripping his shoulders. I glance up at him, catching him already staring down at me and I almost got lost in his entrancing grey orbs. It felt like hours until I realised our situation, retracting my hands from his shoulders as if I've been burnt by fire. I almost slipped while doing this but steadied myself again when he quickly attempted to help me. He smirked at me as I storm off to the bathroom. Going through the hallways in a messy clothes that reeks of pizza and chicken nuggets while everybody stares at me funnily can now be crossed off of my bucket list everybody.  Alexis and Chloe head straight to the bathroom to change my jeans, luckily Chloe had a spare and gave it me. I can only bear my clothes feeling wet and sticky for so long.

I then exited the bathroom and stomped my way down to Pudding's office.

"Matilda good morning, how are your grandkids " I greeted the school's fifty-three year old secretary Matilda Goldberg.

"They're alright and still kicking it" she replied flamboyantly, cracking up at her own joke "Get it because they are still In Martha's tummy and they are kicking "

Question : How do I know Matilda?

Answer #1: Because I can't go a day without having to pay Pudding a visit.

Answer #2: She's a family friend and mine and Sadie's God Aunt.

And if your wondering who's Martha and you so happened to guess that she's Matilda's daughter. Then you guessed correctly.

Martha is twenty eight years old and married to some doctor.

And she is pregnant with quadruplets

How?

That information remains unimportant. But she might be lucky or it might mark the day her blood pressure skyrocketed.

One or the other.

Oh and another thing, I am Martha's kids-to-be' God Aunt. How lucky is am I ?

"Yeah I get"

"So what brought you here this time?" she inquired, amusement clear in her voice.

"Food fight, long story short but some fool threw a ball in the cafeteria knocked over my drink in my lap so I emptied a milk shake in his hair and so here I am, the twat's coming soon" I explained.

"Now Tina, you gotta be careful, you know how much these young guys these days care about their hair."

"Which is why I aimed there."

"You are something else " she chuckled " go on in dear" called Valentina over and and bent down to whisper in her ear "You know how impatient and angry Burger beard can get"

We burst out laughing before Matilda stopped and attempted to shut me up. I strode into Pudding's office and sat down casually, not bothering to knock his door.

"You know you should get some comfortable seats in here, that way I'll feel like I'm not wasting my time on coming here" I stated, my face emotionless.

And then the twat came in and sat down in the uncomfortable seat right next to me. I could feel his eyes glaring holes into my head but I tried to ignore him, which was hard considering that I had to bite my tongue to stop me from saying anything uncouth.

"You both know why I've call you here" Pudding started "You both are seniors and yet still you guys behave like you are in kindergarten"

"He started it"

"she started it" we said in unison  pointing at each other.

"He started it. She started it. I don't care who started it, what are you guys five? "

"Are the stupid questions necessary? " Nathan shot back.

Mr Gooden glared a hole into Nathan's head and vice versa " You are way too old to be behaving like this and you two know this so as punishment for your behaviour you will be getting one week detention and you two have to clean the locker room for a week "

"What?" I exclaimed "I cannot be stuck in a class room with him for a hour of math class much less to be stuck with him for two hours every day for a weeks. Are you kidding me?"

"Calm down Ms. Márquez and no I'm not kidding I'm dead serious" he responded with a serious look on his round clean shaven face.

"Look , I'm sorry for calling you fat pig and Peter Griffin and and Big E and Crushed frog and all those names" I started apologizing frantically with a flat toneless voice. .

And out of nowhere Nathan burst out laughing.

I turn around and glare at him.

Is he serious?

He sees me trying to apologize my way out of my death and he is there making everything worst.

"Are you trying to be funny Ms. Márquez?"

"No" I answer too quickly. He must have taken it the wrong way because what he said made me add his name on my mental hit list.

"Because of making fun of me I will add another week on your punishment "

Nathan Hilton has now made #1 on my hit list and he better hopes that I don't find out where he lives.

"Starting today" Pudding finished.

I got up causing the chair behind me to fall and I stormed my way out of Pudding's office.

"Bye Tina, tell your mommy that I'll be over today for dinner!!" Aunt Matilda shouted as she stormed out.

"Will do Aunt Matt!!" I yelled over her shoulder and stormed to my next class. English.

°¡°¡°¡°

The final bell rang signalling that it's the end of school. I sling my bag over my shoulder and strode out of class falling in line with everybody else.

I took my sweet time going down the halls as it was now time for detention with the world's biggest jerk ever.

You know I can not go.

But then I'd be suspended for Insubordination.

I slowly travelled down the hall, not before stopping by the vending machine and getting a bag of chips. I pushed the door and found a seat at the far back.

Even though nobody is in here I still sat at the back because I have become custom to sitting at the back of all these classes that I'm in.

The teacher that was supposed to be watching them were fast asleep with his mouth wide open and you could see some visible drool. I rolled my eyes at this.

I opened the bag of chips I had and started eating, focusing on the video that I was currently watching. About half an hour later the teacher woke up and was grading a few papers when Nathan stepped in.

"Your late" the teacher pointed out.

"And your ugly, there now we're even" he replied and he to the back where I was sitting taking a seat right next to me.  I completely ignored the hot but annoy male that was sitting beside me.

"This is your fault you know? Just stating the obvious " Nathan stated, glancing over at me.

"How is this my fault? " I asked, my voice devoid of any emotions.

Is this douche bag serious?

"Well you came over to my table when I was completely minding my own business and you poured milk shake in my hair " his attempt to pin the whole issue on me went in vain.

"Maybe if you didn't chuck that stupid football at me and let it spill all over my jeans then I wouldn't have to poured milk shake in your stupid hair"

"We were playing catch and my hair is not stupid" he defended.

"What sane person throws a ball in a cafeteria where there is food? " I questioned, my face impassive  "Even somebody stupid would have enough sense to know that you can't throw a ball in a cafeteria"

He huffed "Whatever now I'm stuck with you everyday after school for two whole hours "

“Don't feel special okay? ” I say “I'm not too thrilled with the idea of being stuck with you. ”

“I don't feel special cupcake, I feel cursed. ”

I ignored his last comment and plugged in my black and silver headphones completely ignoring him this time, and put both my feet on top of the table, crossing my ankles I leaned my head against the wall behind me and crossed my arms.

If this is how detention with him is going to go then know that I'm not thrilled for the rest of nine days that they have left.

Oh dear lord help me. I'm about to murder someone
