Breaking the Delinquent

Chapter 11: why help?

I woke up looking at white ceiling. This was not my room. Immediately sat up looking at the walls of the room. It was painted in white.

Thank God, I was still in Clifford. Of course I was, the walls were painted white. If I was not in Clifford then the walls wouldn't be painted white at all.

"Where am I?" I asked no one in particular.

I sat up on the bed. I took one last look of the room, oh-no. I stood up and walked around the room. From the looks of things around like posters , equipment and the smell of disinfectant, I could easily tell that I was at the infirmary.

"How did I even get here?" I asked the air. "Okay let's retrace my steps. What happened before I got here." I tried to recall. So this how it went. "I woke up ready for the first official day at this school. Then I went to class only to get pulled out of my sit by my hair....... I remember now it was that bastard called Zayn. He is the reason why I am here now."

By the way, I thought I had a bleeding scalp. I walked out of the infirmary, suprised about the fact that no one was there to attend to sick or injured students. Maybe the nurse in charge went out for a snack. I guess this is my lucky day, or it would have been if Zayn didn't ruin it.

I walked around the hallways, trying to find my way to the nearest girl's bathroom. After about two minutes I found one. I stepped into it, going straight to the mirror to check the injury on my scalp.

My hair was no longer red, but there were still bandages all around it. I screamed looking at my reflection in the mirror. Remember, I was once a girlie-girl, but now a part delinquent. But being a delinquent doesn't mean I shouldn't care about my appearance. I looked horrible with all these bandages on my head. And you know whose fault it is.

"Zayn!!!" I yelled, walking out of the bathroom in search of Zayn. "Just wait till I get my hands on you" I said through gritted teeth. He needed to be taught a lesson.

As I was walking down the hallway past students, I noticed that students were looking at me. "What you've never seen a transfer student?" Is what I would have asked them if I did not just ignore them. Only one thing was important now, and that was to find Zayn and teach him a lesson he'll never be able to forget. I continued my mission to find Zayn until......

"Wait, Jade!" I heard someone call. I turned around to find Ryan jogging towards me.

"What?" I asked him. He was just wasting my precious time, taking his time to jog towards me. Flexing his muscles...... Wait, what am I thinking. Snap out of it Jade. "Do you know I could use those seconds to murder someone?" I asked him.

"You have to hide now. Come with me" he said reaching out to grab my arm, but I quickly shifted it.

"Oh, so it's urgent huh?" I asked. "You knew you didn't have time to waste before playing hide n seek, so why did you waste so much time jogging in your glory?"

"Jade I'm serious, you really need to hide." He said.

"Wait, how do you know my name?" I asked him.

"Exactly, everyone knows that you are Jade Smith. That is why you need to hide"

"So that is why people have been staring at me. I've become a celebrity in Clifford. You know attracting all the attention-" A loud and annoyed groan, cut me off. "So why do I need to hide, Smith's don't hide." I said.

"It's because-" I cut him off.

"Wait, how did they know?" I asked.

"Know what?"

"That I'm Jade Smith."

"Like you said you are famous. And in a bad way." he said.

"Bad....way." I repeated.

"You are in trouble in so many ways."

"Trouble." I once again repeated. "Yes finally. I thought I wouldn't ever get in trouble." I said smiling triumphantly.

"What kind of girl gets happy when she gets in trouble?" He asked.

"This kind!" I said, using both my thumbs to point at me.

"Will you just shut up and listen?" He asked.

"Didn't I tell you never to tell me to shut up" I asked him.

"I asked if you will." He clarified. "And besides you told Zayn not me." He said smiling. I raised an eyebrow. "Sorry." He apologized.

"Answering your question asking if I would shut it, the answer is no." I said, smirking.

"Do you want to hear why you are in trouble or not?" Ryan asked.

I sighed in defeat. "Fine. Tell me why I'm in trouble, and why in so many ways?" I said in a tone that screamed 'I'm not interested'.

"One.." he began. "The infirmary is looking for you. They said you have a very severe scalp injury and need to be handled with care. They also said that you shouldn't stress yourself." He said, informing me of my medical status.

"If the infirmary is in search of me, is that enough reason why I should hide?" I asked him. "How does my scalp injury have anything to do with hiding and trouble?"

"That leads to the second reason why you need to follow me. Zayn Davidson, the boy who happen to have put you in this mess is in search of you" he said.

"What?, Zayn is looking for me. Why is that bastard looking for me. That...that piece of thrash. I am the one who is meant to murder him." I said, suddenly getting filled with so much anger.

"Cool down, we need to go now." He said, succeeding in capturing my arm this time. He dragged me along with him.

"Why am I even hiding from Zayn, I'm not afraid of him" I said as I tried to keep up with his pace.

"Because Zayn rules this school in all aspects. Both teachers and students obey him. Just put it like this, whatever he says goes. He gets whatever he wants, whenever he wants it." He said.

"Still not afraid." I said.

"Shut up and follow me."

"How many times do I have to tell you not to tell me to shut up" I corrected him.

"Just follow me."

"Why are you even helping me?" I asked him immediately the question popped into my head.

"Because I'm your friend." He said, turning his head towards the other side. I could have sworn that before he turned his head, I saw a glimpse of crimson on his cheeks. I wonder what that was about.

"No you are not." I corrected him.

"Then what am I to you?" He asked.

"I don't know, a disturbance in my life." I answered.

"What?" He said, shocked at my response.

"You heard me."

"Okay then, maybe you could help yourself from your own stupidity."

"Excuse me, you know what... I don't know why someone who claims to be so good and perfect is in a school for delinquents?" I asked him.

Immediately he heard my question, his eyes turned darker, out of anger.

"Don't go sticking your head where it doesn't belong." He advised, walking out leaving me alone in the hallway.

"What just happened?" I asked. It happened too fast for me to comprehend. Why was he so mad?. I stood there staring in the direction he went.
