Chapter 129
"Ladies enough of the chatter". He yelled. "Get on with your assignments or it'll be a detention".
"We we're talking about our assignment". I said.
One thing I had learned about Mr Gallagher, he didn't like back chat. He's had a problem with me since I got here. Constantly on my back about something and always trying to catch me out. "Detention after school for you Miss Wilson".
"For what?". I asked. "I didn't do anything".
"Anymore back chat and it'll be 2 days detention"..
By this point I knew I was glaring. He needed to pull the stick out of his a*s and lighten up. "Whatever
"See me after class". He snapped.
He was definitely singling me out. Other people were talking amongst themselves before he called me and Abby out. It just so happens I wasn't one for keeping my mouth shut.
"How come you didn't call out they two?". I asked nodding towards the front of the class. His little grade A students were allowed to talk.
"Leah don't". Abby whispered.
You could hear a pin drop it was so quiet.
"Excuse me?". He glared pushing himself up from his chair.
"What didn't you hear me?". I asked already putting my books away. This was only going to go one way
"Get out of my class Miss Wilson".
"Gladly". I glared slinging my bag over my shoulder. I knew he had something against me.
"Go home Miss Wilson. Your guardian will be notified when you can come back".
Huh?
"You're being expelled. Now leave the premises".
"Are you being serious?. You can't do this I didn't-..."
"Enough Leah". Slamming his hand against the desk I jumped clutching my bag tighter. "Now go home
I was sat at one of the benches outside the cafeteria. I hadn't called my gran yet and I was in two minds on whether I should call Jake or not.
I had never been expelled from school before. I had also never spoke to a teacher like that but something was weird about him. He had never liked me and I had no idea why. Nobody was at school today and I hadn't heard from Lana in days. Tapping her name on my phone I put it to my ear.
"Hello?"...
Did I wake her?
"Hey".
"Leah?".
"You okay?". I asked.
"Why didn't you tell me?". She whispered.
"I couldn't, I wanted to but it wasn't my place. Are you coming home?"...
"I will be later but I'm having dinner with Petes parents. Are you okay?".
"Always".
"I mean with Jake going away"..
"Not much I can do about it"..
"Could always go with him".
"I suppose I could but I don't want to. Come home once you've had dinner. We'll have a much needed catch up".
"Yes that's exactly what we need". She laughed. "Love you gal. I'll see you soon". After hanging up I slipped my phone into my pocket.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
I now had to find a way home. I wasn't calling my gran because I wasn't sure how she would take to be being expelled. It's wasn't ten yet so I knew Jake was still here but I didn't want to bother him. Alanna would be spending the little time she had left with Carter, Lacey was sick. I was running out of options.
"Skipping class beautiful?". A cup of coffee was placed in front of me. Rocco!
"Maybe". I grinned.
"Beautiful and a bad girl". He winked. "Got you a coffee". He nodded.
"How come you're not in class?". I asked taking a sip of the coffee instantly regretting it after tasting the sugar. "You didn't get this for me did you?". Making a face I placed it back on the table. "Not a fan of sugar". He smirked scratching the back of his head.
"How come you're not in class?". Surely he wasn't skipping already?
Shrugging he lifted the coffee from the table. "It's not as if the teacher even noticed me leave".
"Mr Ellis?". I laughed. "Poor guy just wants an easy life".
"Don't we all". Watching as he sipped his coffee my phone started to vibrate against the table. I knew it wouldn't be long before he was calling me. "Boyfriend?". He asked as I ignored it. "I have to go". My phone started vibrating again as I picked it up along with my bag.
"Lucky guy. I'll see you around beautiful".
