Oh, Calamity.

I smacked my head off the table for what must have been the millionth time in that period of chemistry, hoping that time would suddenly speed up and allow me to get out of here and to lunch with my friends but of course the minute hand on the clock seemed stuck in place. I groaned loudly and shut my eyes hoping I could just sleep the rest of the period but of course that just couldn’t happen.

‘Gaskarth’ Mr Right hollered at me to get my attention.

‘Mmm..Sir?’ I asked, not bothering to raise my head from the table or open my eyes.

‘I need you to go down to the office and collect the new boy for me and bring him up here, please’ the teacher asked in a less than friendly tone. ‘Oh and try be somewhat enthusiastic Gaskarth, don’t want you to bore him to death on the way back up here’

The class laughed lightly at the teacher’s pathetic attempt to embarrass me and I just pushed my chair back scraping the legs obnoxiously loudly against the floor before smirking at the teacher and walking out, slamming the door behind me.

‘Fucking idiot’ I muttered under my breath as I scuffed my converse clad feet against the floor and shuffled slowly along the corridor. Might as well make this trip take a while, the new guy can wait and I’m pretty sure he will appreciate the time out of chemistry just as much as me.

Five minutes later and I had finally descended the three flights of stairs and arrived at the school office where the sour faced receptionist glared at me and just gestured to the foyer where I could see the figure of a boy.

‘Thanks’ I said smiling a sarcastic but sweet smile at the receptionist before going to get the boy whose name I didn’t even know. How the hell was I supposed to get his attention without seeming like an ass or scaring him?

I tried clearing my throat gently to get his attention but that didn’t work so I tried again a little bit louder still getting no response. Is this kid deaf or something?

I walked up behind him trying to make a lot of noise but still not gaining his attention so in the end settled for resting my hand on his shoulder successfully scaring the crap out of him causing him to jump and trip over his worn back pack that had been sat at his feet. The boy and the phone he had been holding in his hand fell to the floor in a mix of my apologies and swear words from the boy.

‘Shit! I’m so sorry’ I mumbled, leaning down and picking up the boys phone before offering him my hand and pulling him to his feet before handing his phone back to him. ‘I tried to get your attention but I couldn’t and I didn’t mean to scare you’

‘Nah, don’t worry about it, that’s what I get for zoning out’ The boy laughed moving a bit of his dyed blonde fringe out of his face and smiling at me nervously.

‘I thought you were deaf or something, dude’ I joked attempting to make him feel more at ease. ‘I’m Alex by the way’

‘Nope, perfectly good hearing just good at zoning out’ He replied. ‘I’m Jack by the way, Jack Barakat.’

‘Well Jack Barakat, I am here to take you to the place of all your worst dreams’ I said with a sinister tone watching as Jacks eyes widened slightly.

‘Where are you taking me?’ He asked uncertainly looking rather scared.

‘Chemistry’
