Chapter 24 - Chapter Twenty Three

SARAH'S POV

*Door Opens*

Right at the moment I opened the door, it shocked me seeing someone smirking at me.

What's worse is it is our professor. Really? Does he have to be this annoying to students like us.

By that I can only bow my head for respect. "I'm sorry prof, I'm late"....I saod ready to come in when he stopped me by grabbing my arm.

"Who said you can come in?!"....I was shock when he shiuted but I ignored him. "Do you think that you're only a second late?"...he asked.

"No prof"...I said keeping up my poker face to face him. "Good! Now, Detention!"....he shouted again before leaving me at the door.

Is he serious? Oh no! Crap! I'm really going to detention.

Well I can't make an excuse especially this professor of ours is so hard headed.

I better go Or else.....

"Aren't you going?!"....he shouted again so I hurried myself but before I could close the door, I heard a very mocking laugh. Tsk! Curse you, who laugh at me.

At last, I heard our professor again, shouting making a fuss about how late students aren't so respectful.

"You Mr. Grayson, Detention! You dare to laugh when I'm disciplining other students, and to add with that, right now you are being respectful to my class so GET OUT!".... Is that Wayne?

"Pfft...hahahahaha"....I silently laugh because even him got in to detention haha...funny.

"*cough*"....I look around and don't see anyone around coughing like that so I focused on taking my path ahead.

While walking a defeaning silence kept me company. I can only hear my footsteps and the one behind me.

I know that it's him. The Jerk, but I didn't care to look at it.

Silently reaching the detention office I opened the door first and walked in.

As I got in, I proceeded into the log book that is displayed there to write my name. It is designed for attendance of those who got in detention.

As I'm done writing, I headed towards the small library in there and lay my things beside as I grabbed a book to read.

Finding the one I like seems to be higher than I thought and although I'm tall it's not enough to reach the book.

So I keept reaching it. Some books would fall down but luckily I've got quick response so it wouldn't be a mess.

I was ready to give up when suddenly a hand stretched out to reach the book I wanted.

Is it him? Maybe.

I slowly turn muself around and look at the person who got it.

"Jerk"....I didn't even know how that word came out my mouth.

"Tsk! *Sigh* I thought you wanted the book"...he says, his face was almost close to mine. And it's making me uncomfortable, just as I was about to close my eyes. I replied with a calm tone.

"Who says that you'll get it?"...I said.

"Oh Is my face so close?"....he said playfully. "So close that I might want to punch, maybe again"

"Try it then"....he said, can't stop until I gave in huh. Let's see if you don't back off if I really punch you.

"You want me to try?"..I said balling my fist and tightening my grip as I lifted my fists to punch him.

But then, We are in a detention. So I loosen my fist and calm down.

"Give me the book"...I said.

"Scared to punch me?"

"No, but next time don't come pissing me off or I'll punch you real hard"...I warned.

After that I didn't wait for him to speak. It's just nonsense anyway.

I got back to my seat and focused on reading as I waited for 2 hours to pass.

While reading. I took my phone out and check on my email. I might have gotten an offer for other jobs I'm looking.

As I'm checking the email. One message pop up on my screen.

I opened it and read what's inside.

As I keep on scrolling dow wards, the word rent shocked me.

Oh my god! I forgot again.

I forgot to pay the rent past week and If I don't pay it today, I might be thrown out. I should call Lesley. Oh no! Wait she's in class.

What do I do now?

After thinking I dialed the number of the landlord but no one was answering.

I dialed again and still no one will pick up.

I then look at the clock. 5 more minutes before two hours.

Calming myself down, I sent a message to the landlord.

After I hit send I look up at the clock again. 3 more minutes.

Arghhh! Why do tthe time today so slow.

Patiently waiting for three minutes, the clock finally struck at 12 so I immediately went out to find Lesley.

I ran faster as I could.

"Sorry"...I said bumping onto other students on the hallway.

As I kept on running I open my phone and dial Lesley's number.

"Please pick up, please"

"Hey"

"Thank god you pick up"

"What's with the hurry?"

"Where are you?"

"Outside"

"Where?"

"Heading towards the canteen, what's with you?"

"Just meet me infront of the parking lot, I need you to drive me"

"Wha---"

Before she could speak, I ended the call and made my way to the school's parking lot.

As I reached it, Lesley was already there so I ran towards her.

"Hey, what's wrong?"...she seems worried but I ignored her and quickly open her car door.

Soon enough, she went in too.

"Sarah--"

"The rent"...I quickly announced.

"What's wrong with it?"...she asked but then I shot her a look.

"Ohhhhh!! My god!!! I forgot"....she said surprised at what I said.

"Now drive, before I get thrown out"....I said and she quickly started the engine of her car.

Stepping on the accelerator, we rushed as fast as we can to reached the landlord's place.

"Did you recieve a notice?"...she asled while driving. "Yeah, I really thought you pay for it, I mean I left the white envelop on the top of the fridge"...I said.

"I'm sorry, I really forgot"...she said and rushed her car. "Just go"

After a minute of driving, we stopped first at my house to get the white envelop filled with cash to pay for rent.

And then after that we reached the landlords house.

As Lesley parked her car near her house. I immediately went out and walk through their gate.

As I face the door. I pressed the doorbell.

After a while of waiting still no reaponse.

So I pressed it again.

Still no Response.

I was about to pressed it again. A loud creaking sound of the door responded.

*Door Opens*

Just to see it isn't the lamdlord...
