Ailin's POV
7:30
"Goodday class, im mr Brentford and id be your substitute teacher for the month" he said as the chatters died down."Your history teacher has a severe case if bird flu. Before we begin the class ill like to take a class attendance" he said picking up the record book.
"Cahill"
"present"
"Annie"
"present" she answered chirpingly.
"miles"
"present"
"Ailin"
"Present" i answered.
The names went on but obviously i zoned out after he marked me present. Im pretty much sure everyone is glad Mrs Rashford has the flu, she made school a living hell.
"Miss Eriksen where is Mr Vaughn" he asked wiping the lens of his glasses clean.
"I dont know" i said nonchalantly. I mean he literally ditches school now.
"All of you go in search of Mr Vaughn , the principal wants him to attend classes, including you miss floyd dont return without Mr Vaughn" he said dismissing the class.
Everyone groaned as the sound of chairs scraping the tiles echoed. They all filed out leaving only me in the classroom. I sighed getting up and joining the students in the hallway leaning on a random locker.
"The school is huge , this is gonna take a while guys" Milo said which made the groans to increase as everyone went their separate ways in search of him , why couldn't he just attend class, what made him leave the house without turning back that day. I pushed my self off the locker. The earlier i start the better for me.
9:30
I walked towards the back door of the school, heading towards the soccer field, that being the last place I haven't checked. I've been out fir two hours looking for him. I would have gained alot in class than being out here.
I pushed the door to the field spotting Vaughn on the bleachers.
"Finally" i groaned as I walked up to him.
He looked towards me watching my every movement till i stood Infront of him.
"What do you want"he said raising his brows.
"Mr Brentford sent a search party for you" i said sitting down beside him.
"And how did you get to me before others"
"I guess they all gave up" i shrugged ignoring the implication he tried to make.
"They always do" he scoffed.
"You know im always here right, if you need to talk about what happened that night" i said looking down at my twitching fingers.
"I dont make friends Ailin" he said, his voice turning as cold as ice .
Who knew just these few words could bring out so many emotions in someone. I took in a deep breath masking my emotions.
"Oh in that case, the principal wants you to attend classes he's waiting" i said as i stood up walking towards the door increasing my pace after every step.
"Damnit" i heard him shout the moment the click if the door was heard.
I stepped into the hallway glancing at the clock, two minutes left. No point in heading to class anymore i guess.
