A Life Not Meant for Me

Chapter 5

Ace’s POV

School starts tomorrow. Today I just got my clothes for school, there is a uniform but it isn’t nice and I will settle for almost uniform. I will still wear my black leather jacket but I will wear a plain white shirt underneath and I will wear black jeans and doc martin shoes. I finally have a phone case for my phone which is just a patterned black and a thin case for my new computer as well as the gel keyboard protectors that go over the top also black. I still am not wearing makeup to school but I have this face mask that stops my face from getting pimples for a month after using it. 

I woke up to the alarm I set last night screeching in my ear. School Today. It was hot and summery and I was not really wanting to wear a black leather jacket but danzel installed this thing on the interior that made it cold on the inside he also did the same with all of my other clothes and in winter it would make everything warmer. He also made sure the shirts were anti sweat so you couldn’t see sweat through your shirt. He is a freaking genius. When I heard the school bell go I walked outside the house and across the road and walked to the office to collect my timetable and a map. I walked to my new contact group and everyone's eyes turned to me. My heart started racing. “Isabella?” keep calm “No I am ace” I walked over to the teacher and handed him my timetable “Everyone this is our new student Ace” Breathe in breathe out. “Go and take your seat” I then walked to the back of the room and sat down I turned on my phone and read until the bell rang and I left to my next class. Science. I also had Ms black again this year. I can’t. I walked into class early and sat again at the back. “Isabella it’s good to see you again we missed you last year” I put on my best confused face “My name is Ace, Here is my timetable I am new here” she looked at me with confusion and grabbed my timetable. I had already memorised it but I kept it to seem more normal. “Oh wow. That is extraordinary you look just like my old student Isabella. The scientific probability is so small seeing as you aren’t related” I tried so hard not to smile. She walked off after handing me my timetable. I pulled out my computer and started watching netflix from the new account Danzel had set up for me. As everyone else walked into the class they looked at me and went to talk to me but Ms Black told them to sit down. I plugged in my headphones and kept watching. “Everyone, we have a new student here today.” They all looked around and saw no one and started whispering. “Ace wave for us please” I gave a short wave and looked back at my computer. Everyone looked absolutely shocked. I soon heard the door open and there were Oscar and Charlie. “Isabella? I thought you were missing. Why’d you come back to school. That was dumb.” Oscar scoffed and sat down and charlie looked at me confused “That is Ace” My teacher said he looked at me then back at the teacher then back at me “She even is pretending to not know everyone and changed her name must have been pretty bad when her parents died.” That f**k head. “I heard about that, I never met her but I did run into who I think was her cousin who thought I was Isabella but I am not her.” That made him look at charlie then back at me “Where’s the proof?” I grabbed out my I.D and threw it at him “There is that enough proof and you can check the roll if you want” He looked at the card and threw it back at me “That doesn’t say s**t, It’s probably fake” it is but yeah “Why would I fake a work I.D dummy?” he looked at me for a second then mumbled something. “Alright class, Why does the human body feel pain?” she looked around and then her eyes landed on me. Why? “Ace?” ughh “It’s because pain is a warning sign so if you touch something hot you feel pain to say to move your hand and most people have a reflex that will naturally pull the hand away.” she looked shocked I mean I even knew that before I watched that video. “Very good.” when the bell went I started heading for sport my next class on the way I put my bag in my locker so I didn’t have to leave it in the changerooms. I also changed into a black shirt and leggings in the bathroom on the way. I kept my jacket on still. I used to be really self conscious about wearing leggings but after I worked out I now feel more confident and not gonna lie my but looks good. I walked into the gym and handed my timetable to the teacher he took it looked at it and handed it back to me. “New student! Her name is Ace!” I always felt bad for the students that he did this to, but it isn’t really that bad. “Ace you can go and join that team we are playing chicken run” I knew how to play but if I said that then people would think I am Isabella. “How do you play?” I asked “I’ll explain to the whole group” I nodded and joined my team. After she explained the rules I was involuntarily put at the front of the running line. I was handed the chicken and I waited for the whistle. Once it went off I ran making sure not to get hit by the balls that were being thrown I ran to the other side and quickly ran back I of course made it and went to the back of the line scoring a point for the green team. After the game, I went back to my locker grabbing my clothes and bag and walked to the bathroom and changed. When I walked out I saw Kacy walking towards me “Hi, Ace” she said with nice fake voice “What do you want?” she looked shocked “Wow. You’re rude.” ugh “Wow. You’re fake” I said and walked off and I could feel her annoyance radiating off of her. “Look it’s the gronk” Oh my god I hate her it’s Cat she is a real b***h. “Look it’s a piece of s**t” I said looking at her “Where is your best friend?” She doesn’t know yet damn. “Where is your brain?” she got even more annoyed “I’ll get so many people on you” she said getting more annoyed by the second “Yeah you’ll get another useless person on me because your just a piece of s**t and can’t do anything” I know I was being harsh but she deserved it “I will bash you until you beg for mercy” I scoffed “Like you could do anything you are all talk and no action.” And that’s when I started walking away bored of the conversation. I felt someone grab my wrist tightly. She had the guts to do it wow. I turned around throwing a punch but stopping it before it hit the face, it wasn’t her. “She could really hurt you” he said looking worried, his name was Daren and he was one of her mates “Again I will tell you what I told her she is all talk.” And I snatched my arm away from his “She slapped me once and I had a bruise for a month” Haha he deserved it “One of slaps won’t get anywhere near what my… Never mind she can’t do s**t to me now leave me alone.” He needs to go before I finish that punch. I seriously have anger issues and my family dying made them worse I started walking away before I felt another hand on my arm I grabbed the arm and twisted it. s**t! It was Ciara. “Ow!” I immediately let her arm go “Who are you and why did you grab my arm” she looked hurt “Issy? It’s me” she looked hurt “My name is Ace.” breathe you have to do this “Now leave me the f**k alone” I turned off and stormed to the corner of the oval. I pulled out my phone because I felt it ringing. I saw the caller and answered it was one of the dealers from spain. I answered in spainish “Hello this is Ace” I said fluently “Hello, I just wanted to say the job is done but the next shipment is going to be delayed.” I hate when this happened “Why? You know not to delay.” he sounded scared most of the people that called me were scared. I had created a new reputation for myself and a strong one at that. “How long?” I said sounding angrier “Um… a- a w- week” A what! “Why the f**k is it delayed a week!” I shouted into the phone. This whole conversation had been in spanish so thankfully know one could understand “I don’t know Ms” He said stuttered “Get it on time! I have to go” I hung up straight after as the bell signalling recess end went off. I now had french. Even though I could now speak it fluently I wanted to keep ‘learning’ it. I walked up to the class looking strong but inside I was so nervous. I sit next to Charlie in this class. “Ace?” someone said sounding scared. I turned to look at the source. It was one of the girls that I had sold stuff to last year. She was the first person I lost it at. I think her name was linzy. “Hi” I said sternly. “Y- y- you go h-here” She stuttered “Yes, do we have an issue?” she shook her head and continued walking down the hallway. “Entre!” yelled the teacher I walked in and saw the differently placed tables and sat at the back near the corner. I pulled out my computer and opened a new tab and then switched back to another tab. I had to check my emails to make sure that no other shipments are late “Ace” I looked up to see Charlie “Sorry about last time we spoke” he took a seat next to me “K?” why? “What ya doin’?” Wouldn’t you like to know “Stuff” I replied getting back to my emails and I tilted my screen and moved my seat so he couldn’t see the screen. I read through most of them when I got a call I switched tabs and closed my screen and showed the teacher the slip that meant I was allowed to go out side she shook her head “Sit” f*****g hell I answered the phone quickly “I have to take this I have permission to do so and you saying I can’t answer will get you fired” I said because it will. “Hello, hang on a second” I said in russian and put them on hold “You answering that is putting you in detention, now sit down and hand me your phone” f**k her “I have to answer this and I will get a note from my gardian to say I don’t have to go” she looked like she would let me answer “Fine, but answer the phone and put it on speaker” wasn’t an issue with me, I didn’t have to speak in english. I took the phone off of hold and put it on speaker “Why did you put me on hold? Is there an issue?” The man asked still talking in russian he didn’t understand english “In english please” the teacher said rudely “He doesn’t speak english, just like you won’t teach anymore” I said just as rudely as she did. “I don’t have any issues here” I said to the man. “Why are you calling?” I asked “I need someone gone” he sounded scared even though he was over twice my age “Who?” I asked, “My brother” what? “Okay, send me through the details I will look through them later.” I need to go “Okay thank you” I hung up after that. “What language was that?” she yelled across the room “What language was that?” I said mimicking her “Detention for a month” i scoffed sitting back down in my seat “No good job, for ever” I said plugging in my head phones “A term” she said upping the time “Nice try” I said emailing Danzel. Two minutes later she got an email and looked at me then back at the screen. I simply smiled innocently. “I will be back” and she got up to walk out of the room “No you won’t” I said. I know I was being cruel but if I hadn’t have answered we could have lost that client who is paying a lot for this job. 10 mil to be exact. “What did you do?” asked charlie as a different teacher walked in and announced she would be teaching us the rest of the year “Nothing” I said. When I heard the bell ring I walked out of the room and to my next class when I got to the bottom of the stairwell, I got a call from an american byer “Ace” I said so they knew who they were talking to “Hi, I was wondering what you would do if the shipment was late?” he didn’t “What are you saying?” he was silent “The shipment is late” why? “Why the f**k is it late?” I hissed into the phone “I...um...I may have forgotten to pick it up” That f**k head “How the f**k did you forget! We sent you a dozen texts! Do you have a death wish?!” he gasped as I yelled the last bit “N- no. I got drunk and I lost my phone but then I found it!” Breathe “Well what won’t you be doing anymore! Huh?” I said through the phone “G-g-getting high” He was f*****g high?! “Well you won’t be getting f*****g high anymore if there is no product will you?” He sobbed “Don’t you f*****g cry!” I hung up with that “I work with f*****g babies” I mumbled walking to class which I was now late for. When I walked in everyone's eyes turned to me “How nice of you to join us Isabella” far out there isn’t an isabella on his roll. Why would he still call me that? “My name is Ace, I doubt there is even an isabella on your roll.” I said taking my seat in the back. I checked the roll “There isn’t sorry Ms Petrovia” Everyone gasped. I guess they really know who I am now.
