CHAPTER FOUR - THE TRASHCAN HELPED HIM OUT A LOT

CHAPTER FOUR

THE TRASHCAN HELPED HIM OUT A LOT

He turned to me with a smirk on his face, "This means you owe." He said.

That's the second person today!

Uh, what does everyone want from me?

But with that aside, I need to get to my seat so I climbed up the window.

I was just about to jump down when a voice startled me.

"Caught you, you devil." Mr Zhu's voice startled me and I lost my balance and fell on the floor with my face.

Everyone laughed at me.

Wait what just happened? Why didn't I hear him coming? That's not fair and this isn't right the slightest bit.

I raised my head to look at his face, surprise was clearly written all over mine.

He had a satisfied look on his face and that just turns my stomach. How could someone derive joy everyday by sending a particular kid to detention everyday!

I mean, shouldn't they be sicked of this by now?

"Honey, there was no need for you to stress yourself, I had already gotten him." Mrs Zhu said. "He put you through all these stress for nothing, I'm so sorry honey."

"I had already taken a photo of the entire class this morning which proves he's wasn't in class so it means..." She talked on and on and I lost interest until I heard her tap the board continuously.

I turned to the board and at the top was written.

'DETENTION FOR YOU JACK, I GOT YOU.'

I rolled my eyes and rested my head back on the floor.

What was the point in entering the class anyways? I should have just hid in the empty classroom.

I whined on the floor as I kicked and cried.

"Stop being a cry baby, Jack." I heard a girl's voice said. It was probably Bao Zhai.

I sighed then got up to my seat. There wasn't any need for drama. I still have tomorrow and till the end of this school year.

I slumped down on the chair then dropped my back on the floor beside the desk.

The blonde boy turned to me again, "So how many times are you sent to detention?" He asked curiously.

"Hmm... It's been three times this week." I replied.

He looked at me skeptically, "But it's just Wednesday?" He asked.

"Yeah don't you know the dates?"

He smiled, a beautiful broad one revealing his dimples. He was a really handsome boy. His blue eyes twinkled.

Tsk tsk tsk, another hot boy? Bolin is gonna have a fit.

"So in other words, you get detention everyday." He shook his head, "You're something else."

"Sometimes Saturdays included." Mr Zhu suddenly added.

I facepalm myself and groaned.

"What was the use of all I went through today?!"

"So what did you do today?!" Boqin asked. He was two seats away from me.

"Oh I can't say, it was horror!" I replied.

"Oh I can." The blonde boy interfered. "He found a good hiding spot. The trashcan helped him out a lot."

"Oh I can." The blonde boy interfered. "He found a good hiding spot. The trashcan helped him out a lot."

"What!" The entire class turned to me with their mouths dropped wide open for flies to get in.

"Is it true, Jack?" Feng asked, his seat was at next roll at the back, close to mine.

"Umm what can I say? It's portable." I said awkwardly and the boy looked more shocked that I did not deny it.

"Get out of my class right now!" Mrs Zhu shouted suddenly.

I quickly jumped up in shock. "You mean it?" I asked surprised.

"You dirty flighty ruffian!" She cursed. "Get out!" She yelled pointing at the door.

I eyes widened.

I had mixed emotions of shock and, and... Happiness?

"Oh all the germs and bacterias!" She lamented out loud but it was more to herself.

Went to the front of the class and was right in front of her.

She eyed me with disgust in her eyes.

"Do I get a pass card?" I asked with hope filled heart, probably there was still hope for me? I thought.

But the hope disappeared when she screamed "get out!" At me.

I bowed my head as I walked away but just by the door I remembered something really important.

"Oh, guys it's a trashcan yes but that doesn't mean it should be that smelly. Ladies please be good and spray it perfume once in a while?" I announced confidently.

The class gave me a dumbfounded look before rolling their eyes at me. Some even smiled at the joke.

"Jack, why you little..." Mrs Zhu said as she took off one of her heels.

I knew what she was going to do next, I quickly scrammed and closed the door behind me and the shoes hit the door instead.

I heard laughter coming from the classroom.

And Mrs Zhu cursing at me distastefully.

I shook my head.

"What would that class do without me?" I proudly said. Although I didn't get what I wanted, at least I made the class laugh a little.

But that blonde boy, he seems like trouble too. I wonder what's his name?

I looked around the hallway, it was completely empty like no soul is anywhere around or even in the school and not a single noise came only from my classroom of course.

Everyone was chattering away and Mrs Zhu kept asking them to shut up.

Then I heard a bang on the table and the classroom fell silent.

Whatever that was, it's no longer any of my business.

I strode along the hallway until I heard the sound of a big heavy shoe approaching.

I swallowed.

Goddess, can I get a break from all this? Just once at least?

I quickly dashed into a corner to hide.

But from behind me, I heard the sound of another shoe approaching.

"Who could that be?" I asked even though I won't get an answer.

But the unexpected happened. I was suddenly pulled by my arm away and someone covered my mouth.

"Shh." The person said and from the masculinity of the voice I'm sure it's Mr Zhu.

What was going on. I tried to break free from him but he held me firmly.

"Stay put or else you'll get the school into trouble." He said. He sounded really serious and I'm sure it's because of the second footsteps I heard approaching.

I turned to see who was coming and my heart sank into my chest when the man came into view.

I was like I couldn't breathe anymore and goosebumps filled my entire body.

I couldn't stop staring at the man in the business suit heading towards the principal's office.
