"Ensure you don't get detention" mom yelled
"Okay mom" I replied, opening the door and slamming it shut. I smiled, remembering my past experiences in different schools…The way I got expelled from two schools before moving into Oklahoma. I kept walking faster since my new school.
"Bartlesville high school" was barely a mile away from home. I quickened my pace as the wind sent chills to my skin. I gradually broke into a Sprint as I was a few feet from the school. I got to the entrance and was marveled. I and my mom had been here a day ago but I didn't pay attention to the architecture of the school.
I walked in briskly as the bell rang for students to disperse in their various classes. I took a right turn to the principal's office and gave her my admission slip after the formalities.
"Abel Park, welcome to Bartlesville high once again" she said shaking me
"Thank you so much ma'am" I replied, receiving her handshake. She gave me directions to my class and I slowly walked out of her office. I walked straight to the class.
"Hmm, grade 11b" I muttered under my breath as I slowly opened the door. In the class was a middle-aged woman, teaching English and about 40 students in the class.
"Morning ma'am" I greeted.
"Morning, you're the new student, right?" She asked, "Yes, ma." I replied, playing good boy.
"Hello class, welcome the new student…Umm?" She announced.
"Abel Park" I replied. For God's sake, I was still playing good boy. I could see some backbenchers using their phones. Since the students were disobeying the laws, I decided to go natural.
"Welcome to Bartlesville high. Here we encourage our students to maximize their potential" that was the go-ahead I needed.
"What's up my peeps. As I said, I'm Abel Park alias AB and I hope we'll relate well. Jah blesses y'all" I said, holding out the peace sign with my fingers. I smiled hearing the students murmur.
"That's nice. Go and have a seat" she gestured
"Sure ma'am" I replied, taking a seat beside the hottest girl in the front row.
"Hi" I said, settling down. She blushed, tilting her head in my direction.
"Hi, I'm Sharon…Sharon Dyche" she replied, offering a handshake which I warmly received.
"Nice name, suits a pretty face like yours" I replied, smirking
"Asshole" I heard a guy grumble from behind.
During break, a couple of guys came over to my desk, banging it.
"Hey dudes, watch it" I half yelled.
"Abel, they mean no harm" Sharon said with an assuring smile.
"Okay? So, who're they?" I asked.
"My brothers" she replied
"Brothers. So you're triplets" I blurted
"Yeah. The one with a swoosh is Sean while the one with low-cut hair is Dean" She replied
"Hi Abel" they both greeted with warm smiles.
"Hi guys" I replied
"Urm Sharon, we need to talk" Sean or Dean said
"Okay, that's nice. We're about to go for lunch when you came by" Sharon replied
"No, we wanna talk to you alone" they replied
"Okay…Abel, you'll have to go alone. Family issues" she said
"No problem" I replied, setting to leave for the cafeteria.
As they left, a pair of hands pushed me onto the floor I was stable enough to stagger a bit and was still standing. I looked before me and saw a jock and a couple of fools behind him.
"Hey punk" the jock said, tapping my chest. I recognized him to be the guy who called me an asshole earlier.
"What's up your mom needs a boyfriend?" I mocked.
"Wow, I guess you don't know me?" He asked, tapping me again
"I know you. You're one of the numerous bitches trying to bully newbies" I replied tapping him in return
