Chapter 9: Chapter 9

He lifted an eyebrow, gazing at me with disbelief."You don't have a fûcking right to shout at me, pussy."

"Mind your language, Romeo."Mr Banks shouted at him.

Although Mr Banks has intervened, I won't let it slide. He just used two dirty languages on me, 'fucking' and ' pussy '. Who the heck does this asshole think he was?

"You don't tell you what to do, Old Roger.''Romeo retorted, which made the whole class burst into laughter.

What he said was definitely funny but it was damn rude. How would he talk to our English teacher in that manner?

I turned to him, glaring at him."You're fûcking rude, low life dick."

His brows snapped together."Low life dick? What the fuck does it mean? You just called my dick ' low life '. The dick you have been craving for. The dick that would make you paralyzed. The dick that would take your damn virginity."

My hands tightened into fists. I opened my mouth to say something, but nothing could come out.

All what he said really affected me and they rendered me short of words.

"The dick you have been craving for. The dick that would make you paralyzed. The dick that would take your damn virginity."His words replayed in my head.

I don't know why but I'm deeply hurt by all that he said. He said those words like I have been begging him to fuck me. Like, I am really desperate for him to have sex with him.

Or perhaps, I'm hurt because he was damn right. Because he already know about my sexual fantasies.

I had masturbated, rubbing my clit and pleasuring myself with my fingers while thinking of him fûcking me. That was last week, when I was thinking about the sexy moments we've spent together.

But, how did he know that I have been craving for his dick?

"Out of my class, Ivy Youngs and Romeo Sparks! Detention for both of you now. Also, meet the principal during lunch hours."Mr Banks's voice jolted out of my train of thoughts.

My eyes widened. We are gonna meet the principal during lunch hours? God! I think I'm doomed. Telling us to meet the principal means that we're in deep trouble. I should only think about myself.

I'm in deep trouble. What if the principal calls my mother for a meeting?

Jeez! What the heck have I done?

What have you done, Ivy Young?

"Are you deaf, Ivy?"Mr Banks snapped at me.

Why did he mention just my name? I turned to my side, Romeo was nowhere to be found. He must have gone to detention already. The asshole is so used to it, that it doesn't mean anything to him anymore.

I picked my English note and proceeded to walk outside of the class.

"I'm really disappointed in you, Ivy Young."I heard Mr Banks's voice when I passed in front of him.

"I'm sorry for letting you down."I muttered under my breath.

I walked out of the class before the tears that had formed a pool in my eyes dropped.

I cried my eyes out when I reached the female's restroom.

When have I turned to this? When did I turn to the girl who said dirty languages shamelessly in front of everyone?

When did you turn to the girl who got detention twice in one and a half months?

I'm really disappointed in myself.

All of this was caused by Romeo freaking Sparks.

I had planned to ignore him and get rid of my stupid feelings for him, but the devil made him come to class.

Coming to class isn't even the problem. Sitting beside him is the main thing.

I shouldn't have replied to him when he asked me that question. I should have ignored him or pretended like I wasn't aware of his existence in the class.

Now, I have gotten into trouble.

I wiped off my tears, getting ready to go to the detention room. Fûck! Romeo would be there. I will just pretend like I didn't know that he was in there with me.

I got out of the restroom and went to the detention room. The teacher in charge of detention wasn't there. Of course, he was already there. He was operating his phone. I thought phones weren't allowed in the detention room.

I didn't mutter a word. I just sat down silently on a seat which was far from him. I was glad that he also pretended like I didn't exist. At least, I won't get into another fight again.

"One week suspension for both of you, Romeo Sparks and Ivy Young."The principal announced the bad news to us.

My eyelids dropped. I thought they're only gonna invite my mother to the school but they still added suspension to the punishment.

The principal adjusted his eyeglasses, gazing at us with his eagle eyes."This great school doesn't encourage constituting nuisance in the class and we don't accept the use of vulgar words in the school premises. Both of you broke a lot of rules in our school during the english class, according to what your teacher told me, hence you will be on suspension for a week. I hope that both of you would use the one week to reflect on your bad actions. Anyways, you should use the opportunity to read your books and acquire a little skill. Do you understand me?"He questioned us.

I nodded my head in the affirmative."Yes sir."I replied to him but the asshole beside me didn't say anything.

"Also, give your parents the letter with you. I wanna see your parents in this school, after your suspension ends."The principal added.

"Can I leave?"Romeo talked for the first time since we came here.

"Why are you in a hurry to leave the school? Anyways, you can leave. Enjoy your day and your suspension."The principal smiled wickedly.

I bowed my head."Thank you."

Before I could even say "thank you", Romeo had left the office already. He is such an annoying jerk.

I told Joey about all what happened, before I left the school premises. She promised to visit me in the evening or call me on the phone.

Now, I should think about my main problem and worries.

How will I tell my mother about the suspension?

How will I tell her about what really caused the detention?

****

I cleared my throat, stealing a quick glance at my mother."Mom, I have something to tell you."

My mother and I are in the living room. Mom is watching her favorite soap opera, we just finished eating our dinner.

"What sweetheart?"She asked me.

I bit my bottom lip. It's now or never.

"I'm not going to s.. school tomorrow, m.. mom. I… I got one week s… suspension."I stuttered.

Her eyes quickly left the soap opera she was watching. She gazed at me with a frown on her face."What did you do?"

My lips trembled."I'm sorry mother. I'm really sorry. I got into a verbal fight with a classmate."

She went silent for a while, then flung her arms around my shoulder."I understand. Who is that person? The person must have pushed you to the edge."

"It's just a girl."I lied, avoiding her eye contact.

I don't wanna tell her the truth that it was Romeo. I don't want her to have a bad impression of Romeo.

She took a deep breath."Well, I won't say much after all this is your first time getting a suspension. But, I am gonna punish you."

"I'm ready to serve any punishment. I know I did the wrong thing."I muttered slowly.

"You have to assist my friend, Freya with her business. You know, she just opened a restaurant. She hasn't gotten workers, you just have to assist her for a week."She explained.

"No problem mom."I said, even though I know that it is gonna steal me away from reading romance novels and going on social media.

But, it is good because I won't have the time to think about Romeo.

The next morning, I woke up early and mom dropped me at her friend's restaurant. It wasn't really hard to work there. I only helped her with serving customers and making some deliveries. Some customers are nice while some are kinda aggressive. Anyways, I got on pretty well with them.

I have to deliver pizza to a house now. I was given transport fare, as usual. After a few minutes, I reached the house. I checked the address for the umpteenth time. Yes, I have gotten the house.

It was a bungalow. The street seems deserted, like no one lives there. Well, students must have gone to their school and parents must have gone to their workplace. Perhaps, that is the case.

Nevertheless, I pressed the doorbell. I didn't receive a response for the first time. Before I could press it again, the door opened.

My mouth fell open as that forest green pierced into mine.

Why is he always after me? Why did he keep appearing in my life? Why do I keep seeing his damn face? Is this his plan to make me keep thinking about him?

"What the fuck are you doing here?"The words slipped out of his mouth in a deep and low voice.
