Joshua's pov:
(The next day)Today I woke up early in the morning so I won't get late for the school like yesterday. As it spent well except for the interaction with that girl. Lady Don. But anyways. I had breakfast with my mum and dad today and like the yesterday night dinner we were just bickering on random topics. I love spending my time with them.Now I'm on the way to my school and as yesterday in not late so I'm taking my time to enjoy the mother nature. On my way I saw a beautiful plant of red roses. Was it here yesterday also?How would you know you were busy in your marathon to your school.My sarcasm! Ughh!I saw a little boy around the age of 5-6 years trying to reach the red rose. He is jumping and jumping to catch that rose but poor little thing can't reach there. So I approached him."Hey little boy what are you doing?" I said walking to him. He turn around to face me."I juss wan' this flower." he said frowning in his little voice I almost cooed at him."But you can't reach there. You are too short for it. And it's throns can hurt you." I said to him."Pwease can you help me? I wan' this fow my friend." he said sadly."Yes, I can pluck it for you. But who's your this much special friend? Hmm." I asked him while bending down the stem of the plant."She's a giwl, hew name is Nevaeh." he told he turning beetroot red.Omg! How much is he blushing?"Oh you want it for you friend who is a girl?" I asked teasing him and plucking the rose from the stem. His cheeks covered with hue and he looked down."Yeah mommy said if you like a giwl you should treat her like a gentleman." he told me.This little thing knows is smart more than his height.I extended the rose to him and he took it from me. "Okay gentleman have a good luck with you Nevaeh."I told him smirking he nodded and ran from there taking enough of my teasing .I chuckled and again started walking to the school. I reached the school gates and saw students entering talking, playfully fighting and some for them still sleepy walking like a zombie. I entered the school finally on time.Hah mission completed.I started walking to my class and saw Stacey and her friends. She also noticed me and waved at me. I returned the gesture and walked to her group."Hii, good morning." I said to all of them."Good morning to you too." she said beaming at me. And many more good morning's came after her from her friends standing there."Are you not going to the class? It's almost the time." I asked her."Yeah I was just going let's go together." she said to me and turned towards her friends."Okay guys let's go to the class or Mrs. Smith will sue us for getting late in her class." they agreed with her and laughed.Mrs. Smith our English teacher.After that we started walking to the class and she was walking side by side to me leaving her friends behind. Not that I'm minding it. We went to our lockers I put my things in it and took out the needed books. When I turned they were also ready with their stuff. Turning few hallways we reached to our class and entered.They sat on their respective decided benches and I stood their dumbfounded. Stacey was sitting with Mia, Jordan and Kevin sitting together and jane sat with a blond haired boy whom I don't know. Stacey gave me a apologetic glance but I smiled at her assuring that it's okay. All the students have decided bench mates.That's what you get for joining the school late. Stupid!I saw the same bench empty on which I was sitting yesterday so I decided to go there instead of making fool of myself, standing in the middle of the class. I put my bag on the chair beside me and sat down and the teacher came. She started teaching and I was writing down the needed points. As 20 minutes passed someone entered the class I raise my head from my notebook and saw that girl lady don. Grace. She entered the class without asking the permission of teacher. The teacher Mrs. Smith saw this and scowled at her."Ms. Anderson what do you think where are you going?" she asked raising her voice."What do you think where am I going?" she questioned back nonchalantly."Do not give me this attitude I'm your teacher respect that." she started getting more angry."Okay." Grace replied rudely and start coming towards my bench.Mrs. Smith started boiling with rage on her disrespect. If it is possible, then smoke would come out of her ears."You are late for my class and above that you disrespected me. You got etention after the school." Mrs. smith shouted and whole class was pin drop silent."As if, it is something new." Grace retorted after standing in front of me."Move." she said to me coldly."What?" I asked being confused.She rolled her eyes and and snapped "M-O-V-E can't hear in one time?""Why I'm here first from you." I scowled at her."Is there any race for this bench so you are first and I'm last? Idiot." she spat.How dare she call me an idiot."I don't care I sat here first so I'll sit here." I retorted back."Don't fuck with me and get out of my bench." she said putting my bag on the floor and sat there."Is your name written anywhere on this bench?" I yelled getting angry at her.Mrs. Smith heard me yelling and it fueled her anger more from earlier. She scowled at both of us and roared "Both of you I'll see you in detention after the school.""But mam--" I tried to explain her the situation."Shut your mouth and concentrate on what I'm explaning here." she shouted. I saw Stacey giving my sympathic glances after the whole drama.Great!Because of her I got my first detention in my life without any mistake.I knew it, she is a bad news.Joshua's pov:RrrrriiinnnggggggggFinally the school is over. But thanks to Ms. Grace Anderson I can't go home. Detention! The students started packing their bags and moving out of the class. I saw her sitting beside me busy in sleeping. Wow such a hard work she got to do! I glare at her head. She is a bad luck for me. After all the students got out of the class I saw only few students are left in school premises, and they were also leaving. Great! Mrs. Smith entered the class with her cold looks. I'm in the bad books of her. Thanks to this girl sleeping beside me. She stare at us and sat on her chair. "Take out your English text book and write the summary of chapter 4 in your own words." She said scowling at grace who is still sleeping. I nudged her in her shoulder. She raise her head and glared at me."What?" she snapped. "Can't you see Mrs. Smith is here." I retorted back. "So what?" she said with a nonchalant expression.Is she crazy? Can't she be a little respectful to
Joshua's pov:After the long day finally I reached home. I sighed and entered inside the house. I directly went to the kitchen and saw my mum reading something while sitting on the dinning table. "Hey mom." I greeted her. "Hey my baby boy." she beamed at me. "Mommmmm I'm not a baby." I whined. "You'll always be my baby boy". She teased me like always. "Okay fine, I'm hungry please give me something to eat." I said peeking at what she's reading. She was as always reading her home decor magazine marking what she want to buy for the home decoration. She likes to moderate the house and made aesthetic changes in them. She got up from the chair and started serving the food. I went to the sink and washed my hands. Basic manners. She put the plate on the table and sat where she was sat before. I started digging in my food hungrily. "Slowly Joshua Williams." my mum instructed."Hmmm." I hummed and started eating slowly. After finishing the food I put my dish in the sink and went to my
Joshua's pov:I shifted my gaze in front on the black board but I can feel both of their gaze drilling holes in the side of my head. Am I scared of them? Do I regret it what I did just now? Obviously, no! Mrs. Smith started checking the papers submitted by me. After reading the whole summary she gave a single nod to me and then Grace. Then she started teaching from where we left in the previous class. I saw with my side eye Grace again get back to sleep while Candice is busy with her phone, texting someone. RrrrrriiinngggggAfter few periods more of different subjects the bell rang and interval started. Students started rushing out of the classroom as always. I also skipped to the canteen putting my hands in my pockets. There was again a huge crowd for getting food but I don't wanna suffocate and die inside of it. So I stood in the side waited for the crowd to decrease. Stacey and others also came. Yes from the day one I'm sitting with them for the lunch."Hey Joshua why are yo
Joshua's pov:I entered the classroom and saw Stacey giving me a small smile I smiled back. Then I saw Grace already staring at me. She glanced at my changed shirt, then me and smirked. I avoided eye contact with her and went to my bench and sat on it. It's our chemistry period and Mr. White came and started teaching us. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Time skip:Finally, after all the periods ended the bell rang and it's time to go home yay! The students rushed out of the door hastily. I also packed my stuff and slung my bag on my shoulder. I was walking out of the class Mr. Snow our physics teacher who took our last period asked me to help him. "Mr. Williams can you help me in putting these charts in my office?" he asked. "Yes, of course sir." I said and took half number of the charts from his hands. He nodded and started walking ahead of me and I started following him. After turning few hallways we reached his office he unlocked the door and entered inside inv
Grace pov:I was alone for ever in my life. Yes, I have parents very rich and well reputated parents. In public and media they show how much of ideal parents they are only I know, I know the truth behind their big ass smile on their faces. How they show that they do care for me, love me and adore me. But in home they are monsters. That is not even a home it's a house where so many humans live under a single roof. In that house there is Mr. Danielle Anderson and his wife Mrs. Julia Anderson and me a mistake, their so called daughter who is a burden on them and good for nothing. I'm nothing to them and they are nothing to me. But infront of media they show how much they love me. And in reality, they didn't even know in which school I study what I like and dislike. They only knew how to make good reputation in front of the world. Expensive parties, expensive jewelry, expensive furniture, owning many of lands and properties, tours and vacations in different countries, meetings, business
Grace's pov:As the other subjects period came and went by I kept sleeping. And when the time came interval bell rang I'm in no mood to go out without Candice. And no one dares to talk to me with my rude and agressive behaviour. Good for them! Suddenly I felt someone shaking me. "Hey wake up." He said. Oh so Joshua Williams decided to disturb me again. I ignored him. He again shook my shoulders. "Hey listen you girl wake up." I got a name idiot. Oh God stop disturbing me you punk! I got up. "What do you want?" I asked coldly while rubbing my eyes. "It's interval don't you want to eat anything?" he asked.So he is concerned for me. How cute! Like I will believe him. "It's none of your business" I again spat rudely. "Are you sure? You must be tired of sleeping" he sarcastically asked. Don't sarcasm me you bastard."Did I stutter? and don't be sarcastic with me." I said and stood up from the bench and walked away.Better to walk around, if want to avoid his nonsense. As I wa
Grace's pov:I was sleeping when the bell rang and finally the time of detention came. But it's not the first time so I don't care and kept sleeping. That annoying teacher Mrs. S-- ugh whatever came and said "Take out your English text book and write the summary of chapter 4 in your own words."Joshua nudged me in shoulder. I raise my head and glare at him."What?" I snapped. "Can't you see Mrs. Smith is here." he retorted back. "So what?" I said with a nonchalant expression. Do I care? "Ms. Grace Anderson I'm done with your tardiness and inappropriate behaviour I want to talk to your parents." the annoying teacher yelled from where she is sitting. What will she talk to my parents? They don't even care. How dare she mention that bastards. "They can't come." I replied shortly keeping my calm.But not for a long time. "Why not? Are they ashamed of their daughter's deeds and behaviour?" She asked tauntingly. They are ashamed of me you old hag.I stared at her not in the mood of
Grace's pov:Candice started telling me about her vacation trip on Hawaii with her aunty. How much she loved that place. She got a little tanning also. As we were talking someone cleared their throat beside Candice. We both raised our heads towards the voice and saw Joshua Candice don't know him, we stared at him for few seconds so he could say why he is here but he did said anything so we went back to our conversation. He again tried to get our attention by tapping on the table. "What?" Candice spat annoyed by his interruption. "That's my place." he replied. "And who said that?" she again questioned. "I am sitting here from few days." he retorted back. "Because I was on vacations for few days, and no one can come and claim my seat like that boy." she snapped at him. "But here nowhere your name is written." he frowned. "Neither yours." she said and smirked. He glanced at me with hopeful eyes so I would say something in his favour but I was staring at him.Why would I take his
