Carys's P.O.V📍

That moment I could have sworn I saw my death angel passing me with a smirk.

I turned to my friends and they did their best to ignore me.

"Oh look at that Jil!" Mary exclaimed.

"Wow! when did that happen?" Jil asked pointing at locker behind her.

They were clearly having an eye to eye conversation trying to ignore me but obviously failing due to lack of acting skills.

"Jil!" Ignored.

"Mary!" Ignored.

"I'm skipping maths." Thier heads snapped in my direction. Guess that worked.

"I'm sorry cars but what can I do? Brain's not working." Mary pouted.

"I have an idea." Jil said snapping her fingers with a grin.

I smiled at my bestfriend. "Anything!"

"So all you have to do is sit alone in the front and not with us in the back. That way she won't know you're our friend even Caprice for that matter. Basically we just-"

"You are planning to escape our ruthless teacher and her long speech she is going to give me. Right?" I completed her sentence.

"Exactly! You are so smart cars!" She grinned earning a smack on her head by Mary.

"It's everything together and us forever. Remember?!" Mary said with her finger on her chin, deep in thought.

It's like everything and everyone today is against me because just as we started to think of a way to get out of this the bell rang. Signalling the end of our conversation, our thoughts, and my good days.

"And if I die today my dear friends, Do remember me,
Remember everything we have done together as three." I said with a sad epression.

"Drama Queen." They rolled their eyes and said it simultaneously. Creepy.

We started walking to our math class together.

"Mary! Meeting!" Someone behind us yelled leading Mary to curse.

"I'll be a bit late to class. See you guys later." She said and with a supportive tap she was gone.

Mary Wolfhart. Sister? No. Well yes. She is my dad's smaller brother's daughter making her my cousin sister. But way too smart than me. I mean in maths but only when she wants to take it seriously. Member of student council. Basically she is in every possible competition participating hence forcing us to participate too.

Jil Herbet, childhood buddy. Our parents were college besties and lucky for them we got along too. She is, I can't find the right word, smart? but Lame, Very lame. She is also known as the 'nerd' but lets just say, we both suck at math. She is a bit better though, of course I'd never say that to her.

Now back to my depressing life. We started walking towards our class, my death. With each step I took, my heartbeat increased by ten times. I might as well die from a heartattack. As soon as i entered the class, i heard someone say, "There she is!" And that someone was Nathan.

I didn't have to guess to know why he pointed at me. Already regretting the decision of attending, I walked further into the class, towards the back and flopped down into my usual seat. Alone.

"It'll be fine." Jil gave me an assuring smile trying to calm me down and went to her own seat which was next to Mary's towards my left.

I closed my eyes and took deep breaths. Opening my blue eyes I looked down at my plain black jeans and started picking it nervously. My dressing style was simple and as for today I went with navy blue shirt and black jeans. I decided to leave my hair open though I usually tie it up during class but I think it's better off open for now. Why? So that when Gorilla insults me I can atleast hide my face.

I was getting more and more nervous by each passing second which led me to run my hand along my long black hair. And since my life is just fabulous my hand got stuck between my hair informing me the presence of a knot.

I let out a frustrated groan and put my head between my hands. Not only will I have to deal with my dear teacher's pointless attitude but will also have to face The Caprice Husher. I looked over to where he usually sits with his friends which was a bad idea considering his eyes were trained on me. As soon as I realised it I immediately looked away.

By now I'm damn sure you guys would be well aware of the fact that I get nervous very easily. I laid my head down on the table and closed my eyes trying to block away all the noises in the classroom. Just then I heard a screeching noise from my right. Nobody sits next to me which made my head snap towards the person.

"So Caprice, you did well eh?" Caprice himself asked me obviously mimicking our dear math teacher.

He was sitting there patiently waiting for me to answer.

"I-uh-am not you. I tried to ex-explain her that I am me and not you. You get it?" I stuttered in response.

"I do. But she doesn't." He chuckled and I just stared at him with my wide eyes.

"What? Is something there on my face?" He asked whilst touching his face.

"Uh no! It's just, You aren't mad at me?"

He blinked at me and said "No! Why would I be? It wasn't even your fault."

"Umm thanks I guess." I awkwardly looked away.

"By the way I didn't get your name." He said causing me to smile at him.

"Carys. Carys Wolfhart." I swear I saw his face paled at the mention of my name. I gave him a questioning look but he was still gaping at me. And when he finally spoke,

"Holy-" He was cut off by the devil, creater of all the problems, herself.

"Carys Wolfhart!" She literally screamed my name. My heart leaped out of my chest, though I managed to stop it just in time before it could go any furthur.

I slowly stood up causing people to look at my direction. But what made their eyes widen was the fact that Caprice was sitting right next to me. Suddenly they started whispering because why not, after all they got a new topic for gossiping.

"In my office. Now!" She said it with so much irritation which made the whole class shut up. I slowly took my bag , hung it over my shoulder and held my math books in my hand. As I walked I could hear my steps being echoed.

Miss Gorina turned around with so much force that made me wonder how tight her bun was that it never budged.

I sighed and walked out of the classroom following her.

She kept her silence throughout which made me more nervous. As soon as we reached the office she walked up to her table leaving me standing in front of her desk as she slammed down her bundle of papers on it.

I had my head down but I was guessing those were the test papers.

"First, you don't perform well. Second, you lie. I don't know what to expect next." She gritted her teeth. I stood there silent as usual.

"Was it actually her fault now?" A voice interrupted the silence but I didn't know whether I was glad or terrified.

"Mister Husher, I suppose you were asked to stay in the class." Miss Gorina said clearly irritated.

"Nope. No one asked me to. Plus I'm here to clear the misunderstanding which Carys here couldn't. If it was done earlier I wouldn't be standing here right now." What? How dare he blame me. I glared at his ego. And I definitely wasn't glad.

"Oh please enlighten me with my mistake because I clearly tried to. Plus I don't like disrespecting my teacher unlike some other students." I said through my gritted teeth, glaring him.

"Oh really now? I am here to help you but your pride seems to be getting in my way. Handle your pride and let me solve the problem." He shot back glaring at me.

"Not all problems are your math problems Husher." I said anger fuming through my ears.

"Enough you two! Detention for both of you!" She yelled at us causing us to snap our heads to her direction and groan.

"But it's not even my fault!" Caprice threw his hands up in frustration. Who asked you to put your nose in someone else's matter?

"For the rest of the week." Miss Gorina said which made him shut up.

"And as for you, Congrats for failing yet another test. What is your problem actually?" She asked narrowing her eyes at me.

"Math. I don't understand maths ma'am. I try, day and night but I am just not able to do it." I sighed. I wasn't lying. How much ever I tried i couldn't get anything inside my head.

"Well too bad because if you fail any more tests you won't be getting what you NEED. The tests we did till now were just class tests-" Wait, the 50 tests, 57 to be accurate, we did were just CLASS TESTS? "- so you might have a chance as only marks from next tests onwards are going to be considered for finals." She said with a serious face. She knew very well what I NEEDED so of course she's going to bring it up often.

I sighed and said what I always say. "I'll try my best."
Yet my best never works for the test.

"You can leave now. Both of you." That was all we needed to hear as we both basically ran out.

"If only you solved the mis-understanding earlier." He just had to ruin my already ruined mood.

I decided to keep my mouth shut as always.

"The least you could do was to apologize." That hit my nerve.

"Apologize for what? For something I haven't done? How dumb are you, You yourself told that it wasn't my fault!" My voice echoed since the hallway was empty.

"You can't be serious! I got detention for the rest of the week because of you!" He screamed at my face.

"Oh I am sorry." I said and smiled sweetly at him to which he smirked.

"See, wasn't that har-" I cutt him off by speaking for myself for the first time.

"Sorry that my Remote control stopped working which resulted in you walking to office all by yourself." He pursed his lips. "And that I couldn't SHUT your mouth." He glared at me and just as he was about to speak, the sound of heels clicking the floor echoed the hallway telling him better to shut up.

I hurried in the classroom with Caprice following behind which once again gained everyones attention. I wanted nothing more than to slam their heads on the table. It would be quite the scene though.

I went and sat back and sighed in my hands.

"You sigh alot." I rolled my eyes at him.

"I hope my 'sigh' won't lessen your intelligence of solving one math problem." I smiled bitterly at him.

"It won-" I cut him off and said "Besides, why are you even sitting here?"

His eyebrows furrowed deeper in frustration as I kept cutting him off.

"Jennifer wanted to sit with Nathan." He mumbled. I nodded my head. I still looked up to confirm and sure enough Jennifer was sitting with Nathan.

Nathan Davis. Of course she'd want to sit with him. He was another math nerd with good looks. Caprice Husher's bestfriend but a lot more sweet and polite. They had this 'gang' which consisted of Ten members. Only ten? I know right.

Jennifer was a story for another day. All you need to know for now is Karma is a bitch. And I am just waiting it to show up in her life.

Miss Gorina entered the class silencing everyone. The thing is, unlike me, they don't shut their mouth because of fear or kindness, they do it so that she doesn't tap the duster on the table.

She once tapped the duster on her table for a good twenty minutes when other students weren't listening. Yes, No jokes here. And I still remember how I and almost everyone else in my class took tablets just for their headache. The next day no one was able to attend her class which resulted in detention for a whole week.

All I want to say is,
A person's silence has a reason behind it, Take is as cue that it's your nonsense they want to get rid.

"Alright everyone, there is a good news. There will be no tests this week." We all were paying attention already but if there was someone who wasn't, then he or she was surely paying now. Attention.

You could already feel their excitement. Heck I was excited.

"Holy holy." I whispered to myself. I heard a snort beside me. Guess I have to keep reminding myself that I have a company.

If only I owned a company. I snorted at my own thought.

"But-" She started.

"Her buts are never good." Caprice said.

"Instead-"

"Even worse." He grunted.

"We will be doing a small project." The whole class groaned.

"Stop acting like five year olds. Take this project as a plus point to increase your internal marks. You don't have to do it-"

"Sorry ma'am!" Mary stumbled through the door interrupting Miss Gorina.

"Just get in Mary. You just wasted another two minutes."

"32 seconds ma'am. This is math class right?" People started laughing. Bad move Wolfhart.

"Yes. Would you do me a favour?" She asked with deadly face.

"Sure ma'am." Mary smiled.

"I want you to attend the detention today and tell me how many seconds exactly it is. You may sit." This is the thing with our math teacher. She captures you in your own web.

Mary just shrugged and walked towards her seat but not before giving me a look. Her strange behaviour told me something was up.

"So where was I?" Miss Gorina asked.

"In the classroom. Still here actually." Jennifer said. She just had to open her big mouth.

"How smart Kennedy. Since you have so much knowledge about the classrooms how about you pay a visit to the detention classroom today." Nathan snickered despite the look Jennifer shot while Miss Gorina was still glaring at her.

Guess we will be having company today.

"Back to project. Where was I again?" She asked this time shooting Jennifer a warning look.

"You don't have to do it." A voice spoke from my left. Jill Smart Blonde. I tried to control my laugh. She was so done with all of this. That sentence gave us hope though.

"Oh yes. You don't have to do this project alone. You will be doing it with your appointed partner and who is better than the person you sit next to. Now, no one is allowed to change places." She warned.

My jaw was on the floor. I completely forgot about my 'partner'.

"I will pass a paper in which you are supposed to write yours and your partner's name. If anyone tries to act clever, the outcome won't be good."

Breaking News: Jennifer Kennedy yet again played a very important role by helping Carys pair with the 'sweet at first, devil later' boy for a project. Math that too.

My already so not good day just seemed to get worse. It was like people walking by kept throwing more problems in my life while I'm trying to balance them all with my two small hands which are too small for the big problems.

I am already bad at math and life seems to be teasing me by adding and multiplying my misery.

I am so gone.
