“Kellin, for last time, stop pecking on me” Abby’s face was blushing completely as her boyfriend landed almost a hundred of kisses on her neck

I was driving with Abby and Kellin on a Saturday afternoon; we were going to Packett just to grab extra college application forms. And at the present, I was in an awful third wheel situation between the two of my snogging friends

“Abigail, come at my house tonight, no rents and bro. Just you and me” Kellin grinning like a fool and pulled away
“Dream on, buster” Abigail moaned, punching his shoulder

“Hey Kellin, can you slow down the truck. My head’s going nuts” yawning while I buried my head into both of my hands
I was still tired from a long sleepless night, and I seriously need to crash the bed right now.

“You okay Veronica?” My best friend worriedly asking; Kellin taking a left turn
“Yeah, coffee will just do me good” I nodded
“We’ll grab some later, I swear”

A few minutes later, we have arrived Packett
Going to school at a Saturday was instantaneous and common at the same time; occasionally teachers finish their lesson plans here, students in detention or prom planning committee, and a few guards securing the area out of rebellious hoodlums.

We headed to the Student Activities division which was in the East wing, a lengthy table was set out there, with a stack of neatly aligned papers are laid to be picked upon.

Baltimore State University…. I flipped through the stack and tried to get a form
Ever since I was a young; I dreamt of going to the prestigious Baltimore State University taking up their most known & fully-fledged course, Comparative Literature; graduating with the highest honors and landing a job at Simon and Schuster’s, a novel of mine getting published; moving out and maybe, just maybe, have a family of my own. Dreams that I know are inevitable and within reach if I worked hard enough. Also avoiding as much trouble I could get into for it to come true
“Ugh, where did they put the ones for Maryland Science and Technology Institute?” Abby saying aloud
“Left of Princeton, did you see-“Kellin showing her
“Guys, I’m just going to get some fresh air at the courtyard, catch you both at Bean Joe’s” I took the BSU form and headed for the hallway in the West Wing, which will lead me outside


The hallways were hauntingly empty and it seemed that we were the only people here at Packett.

By the moment I passed the Gymnasium, I heard some echoing familiar voices and strange noises
“Dude, we’re going to be in deep deep trouble” one of them was reluctantly hesitating
“Don’t be a such a puss Rian, this our comeback for that bastard coach Cooper, giving us 20 laps of running the entire track oval” another of them
“Yeah, and you’re gonna miss all the fun and regret it afterwards. Merrick, pass me the red can. I am going to make a burrito-eating gorilla and be one hell of an artist” An amused voice which I really know, but can’t recall
“Yo Alex, Woah! THIS IS THE MASTERPIECE THAT I’VE BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO!! How did you do this? Son of a-“ It said again, now booming with thunderous laughs
“Now Cooper will really get pissed” One more of the voices which intrigued me to go down there and check the place

I silently went through the steps of stairs and tried to peep more closely…
Shockingly, I saw all the members of All Time Low doing fist bumps with another and the gym was-
“Oh my gosh, the gym is filled with nonsense crap” I gasped
Graffiti with garbage images plus foul words were adorned in each side of the wall, and a huge one was placed in the floor
“Go F*** yourself Cooper! :P”
Rian was biting his lip nervously. Jack, who was still laughing his ass off, clung to Alex who was applauding the artistic mess they just created. When suddenly a hand went over my mouth, and another to my waist; locking me fully.
“Guys! Look at who we have here”
It was Zack smiling naughtily, I managed to kick him in the shin and planned to escape, but he grabbed me firmly by the wrist.
“Lil’ Miss Clumsy! Veronica Di Angelo” Jack howled and waved his hand
“Veronica? So that was your name. Let her go Zack, she’s a friend of ours. Who will be keeping one dirty little secret” Alex smirked as he started to head to me

Zack did let go, yet Alex also grabbed my the wrist, only tighter;
He pinned me to the wall; tickling my chin and bored to my eyes
“Won’t you Veronica?” He chuckled mischievously
I was totally furious and I wanted to kick him in the ass, he is a disgusting jerk who just deserved to be punished, however I couldn’t because I was too weak
“You’re sick” I muttered and spit at him, a distraction to get the can of spray paint to shove him in the face
“Tough girl eh? Better watch your-“He glared at me piercingly, unexpectedly Rian began to panic, shouting “We’re caught! Guards are here”
The three were able to retreat while I was left with Alex Gaskarth and a can of spray paint on my hands, trapped, and will be getting a huge deal of punishment.
“Stay where you are!” The guard ordered
Alex released me and unwillingly raised both his hands
“You got me officer” He comically sighed
The principal who was informed of the happening, came and scolded us
“Both of you! Have this school not educated you proper discipline and be informed of the rules and regulations?!”
“Sir, I was going to rep-“ I attempted to seek my justice when the guard reprimanded me “You young lady, still making excuses, you should be ashamed of yourself”
I lost my hope and just maintained obedient
Alex stifled a laugh, and I hissed at him
“Your names?”
“Alex Gaskarth” Alex happily answered
“Veronica Di Angelo” I mumbled
“Your penalties will include community service and 9 months worth of detention, every Saturday!”
“What? This couldn’t be” My mouth dropped open in disbelief
“But Principal Vic, we have practice and meetings with our studio recording at Saturdays!” Alex was now worried at the latest of reactions, just realizing the consequences of their offense
“NO BUTS! MR.GASKARTH.AND I ALLOWED YOU AND YOUR BAND IN THIS SCHOOL TO FINISH YOUR HIGH SCHOOL EDUCATION.NOT TO BE BREAKING THE RULES AND TRASHING A PLACE OF LEARNING! Do you understand?!” Principal Vic was in full rage, rebuking Alex while he popped a nerve out
“Damn this” Alex cursing
“Off with you now! And starting next week you’d be here at school by Saturday for cleaning the mess you made and polishing the trophies”

Folding my arms, I exited the school, in the worst of moods; entirely angry and blaming Alex for all of this.
I strolled to Bean Joe’s were I was wondering why I always end up in trouble when Alex Gaskarth is around
Because of ill-fated destiny, I will be spending my weekend with the most horrible person in the world. Whom I thought was a good and decent guy

I thought wrong, plus now we will be having loads of “fun” together, great

And there is nothing I can do about it
