I Hate You

I slide my bag on the chair and keep books on the table. Josh Eliotte rolls his eye and groans at my presence. I look at him archly with an 'I'll kill you' look. He raise his eyebrows with 'we'll see how that goes' look and turns to his friends.

This is all we talk since Miss stephanie Jones changed everyone's seat and made me sit with this little brat. Josh is my absolute nemesis. It kills me to breath the same air with him. He thinks ditto of me.

Right now, he would be probably talking about how disgusting my existence is to his best mate Ralph Anderson, and I dare say he will be agreeing with every word of it.

I have a very low opinion of Ralph but not as low as Josh's.

The 'Ding dong' of the bell drag Josh back to his desk. Miss Jones enters the class with an air of happiness and morning spirit. How elated she is by ruining my life and making this dork sit next to me.

I would have hated Miss Jones the most, but her absolute teaching skills makes up for everything, ok, not for everything, but for most of the things. Atleast. I take out my book and pencil case with the set of new markers. Despite of all the catastrophes in my life I'm still excited for the new session.

I look at Josh from the corner of my eyes, and he is rummaging through his bag for his book. How awful! this filthy pig has failed to bring his book for three days in a row. Good for me, his problems and stupidity provide me infinite amusement. My lips spread into a smile while Miss Jones realizes he has forgot to bring his book again.

"Mr. Eliotte, may I have the pleasure to see your book." She says setting her spectacles on her nose.

"Sorry Miss Jones, I failed to bring my book again." He say looking down with a faint smile and embarrassed look on his face.

"This is the third time this week" she says "Mr Josh Eliotte, could you be anymore careless"

"Trust me he can" I utter under my breath

"I'm sorry Miss, I promise I'll bring it tomorrow and I'll never forget it again" he say

"Josh!" she exclaim with a sigh "I find that very hard to believe"

"My promise is genuine miss" he says "I'll bring it tomorrow"

"As genuine as yesterday's?" she ask and class burst into a laughter.

"No, as genuine as... um... genunity" he says

"There is no word such as genunity, Mr Eliotte" laughter persuades the room again.

He smirks and scratches his head unable to think of anything else to say.

"Mr. Eliotte, you're killing my time, this is the last chance I'm giving you. Next time I'll send you straight to the principal office. Share with Edith for today."

What!. what did she just said I scream inside. Her last words were like a knife she stabbed in my ears. I can't share my book with this fool. Josh sits back, and snatches my book to himself. I snatch it back and this goes on for a while.

"This is my book!" I scream

"You are told to share with me" he snaps

"Why do you care, you hate studying" I snap back.

He releases his hand from my book and look at me. "Oh thanks for reminding me" he say and opens his old stained and torned notebook and starts two draw two monsters. One called Miss Jones and another Edith.

"Nice drawing" I say with a little anger

"I know! he says "I mean I can look at it, unlike your face"

I open my mouth and nothing comes out but air. I shake my head for a comeback, but nothing. I can think of nothing so I roll my eyes and divert my attention to Miss Jones.

The bell rings, I've spend all periods on the lessons, being attentive and preparing notes,

and Josh, I forgot he existed. But now he his yelling and jumping in the class and kicking his friend, imitating some movie scene.

Can this boy be anymore dense? I think.

The day pass along quickly and comes the last period. The bell rings and now I can finally get rid of this jerk.

I pack my bag and walk out. I feel so light right now. If I delete Josh I had a pretty good time today, plus I've made pretty notes.

"I'm back" I announce as I come home

"welcome back, you want some snacks?" asks mom

"Sure!" I say.
