The Girl They Judged

Chapter Seven

Vanessa's POV

I had a detention today, I actually hate teachers with so much passion these days; they just can't get enough of me can't they? I looked inside my wardrobe for a cosy outfit, I honestly wasn't in the mood.

After making up my mind I decided to go for a nude turtle neck with a pair of dark blue high waisted jeans. I grabbed my black Nike cap and placed it on my head, I sighed as I grabbed my black Nike air forces. After placing my chap stick on I rushed downstairs. I grabbed my black bomber jacket and wore it as I saw my brother eating his cereal.

"Tyler I'm leaving." I said as he looked at me baffled.

"You don't have a ride." He stated.

Is he insisting on giving me a ride? After all the times he told me to walk alone.

"I have Hunter's car." I said before grabbing my phone and Hunter's care keys. I walked out my house leaving Tyler baffled, isn't he always baffled?

I got inside Hunter's car and sighed as I turned the engine on.

After four minutes of me singing along to Hunter's One direction cd, I arrived at Hunter's.

Who knew Hunter was a secret One direction fan?

I waited for Hunter to get out of his house, as soon as he got out he tapped on the window. I rolled the window down and smiled.

"Hi." I said as Hunter chuckled.

"Hi." He responded. Maybe Hi will be our always.

"Let me drive, judging how it's my car." Hunter said as I got out of the front seat and walked towards the passenger seat.

After I got inside and Hunter got inside I looked at Hunter.

"So you have One direction cd's." I said as Hunter nodded his head.

"One direction is life." Hunter said as he started up his car.

* * *

"Look at it, it's so ugly." Hunter crinkled his nose in disgust as he parked his car. You could guess what we were looking at.

Our high school.

"Why do we have to go to this cursed place?" Hunter said dramatically.

"I ask myself that everyday." I said as I got out of his car.

After Hunter locked his car we walked alongside each other.

"People seem to be staring." Hunter said as I looked around the place.

"Because we my friend are hot." I said as Hunter chuckled.

"Oh the lies." He exclaimed.

"Them staring is so stupid." I said as we both walked inside the school.

"True." Hunter responded.

"I have English literature." I said as I walked towards the locker.

"Same." He said as he waited for me to grab my books.

I grabbed my books and placed them in bag, afterwards we both walked inside our English literature class with Mr Potter.

As soon as we entered the class there was a seating plan.

"You can't be serious." I said as I looked at the board.

"You're sitting with Zachary? Good luck." Hunter said as I looked at him.

"You have Laura, have fun." I patted his back.

I didn't mind sitting next to Zach, he was actually a calm person to talk to. I sat down at the seat at the back. The class was already half full as more people started to enter the classroom. Jelissa entered the room as she sat down next to a girl called Emily.

She was a really quiet person, she reminded me of myself when I was a junior.

I then heard my phone vibrate, I opened the message. It was from Jelissa.

Jelissa: Rumours are going around that you're dating Hunter.

I looked at Jelissa with a weird look.

Hunter and I are just friends, it's quite childish of people to create such rumours.

Me: lies.

Jelissa rolled her eyes.

Jelissa: I want you to be with Zachary.

I chuckled as I typed back.

Me: chill Jelissa, it won't happen.

She frowned as she typed on her phone.

Jelissa: kys.

I gave her a funny look as she wiggled her eyebrows, I turned around only to find Zach entering the classroom.

Me: no.

Jelissa: yes.

I decided to leave her text, the teacher Mr Potter walked into the classroom.

Zach sat down next to me and sighed.

"How was your night?" I smirked.

"Fun." He responded.

"Really? That too with Laura?" I asked him.

"Laura is pretty experienced." Zach said smugly.

"I could tell." I said as I looked at Laura, Hunter was next to her; looking really uncomfortable.

"Poor Hunter." I said as Zach chuckled.

"Yeah she's good in bed but she's so f*****g annoying." Zach said as he grabbed a pen out of his pocket.

"Irritating as hell." I said as I looked at Laura, she kept giving me these weird annoying looks.

"Like you." Zach added.

I gave him a stern look as he simply looked at me.

"Excuse me?" I questioned him.

Zach leaned on his chair and looked at Mr Potter.

"Zachary." I said annoyed.

"Why don't you call me Zach like you do? I don't like you calling me Zachary, it's weird." Zach said as I simply looked at him.

"I like calling you Zachary." I said as Zach leaned forward.

"I like Zach better, the way it rolls of your tongue is hot." He said suddenly making me feel uncomfortable.

"Okay?" I said as he wrote the date on his book.

I turned around and faced the front.

Advanced Placement English literature and composition, writing the ap essay.

I sighed before writing down some key notes, if I want to pass this exam I have to try my best on focusing in class, not that I don't.

I then felt someone tapping my back.

I decided to ignore the person.

"Vanessa." Zach whispered.

"Vanessa."

"Vanessa."

"Vanessa."

"Van-" I looked at him and gave him a glare.

"What!" I said clearly irritated.

"Nothing." He said as I face palmed.

* * *

After a long day of school I walked towards the room where they conduct detentions, first detention in years.

This is blatantly stupid.

I walked into the room and handed my pass.

Most of the seats were taken except for the spot near a guy.

I've never seen him around at school before.

"I'll be back in thirty minutes, if any of you people move there will be severe consequences." The old looking lady snapped before leaving the room.

I sighed as the guy next to me rolled his eyes.

"What are you doing in detention?" He said turning around.

"Late, it was only two minutes." I said as he simply groaned.

"What about you?" I asked him.

"It was my first day, all I did was punch a person; self defence." He said as I looked at him as if he was crazy.

"Why exactly did you punch him?" I queried.

"He pissed me off." The guy bluntly.

"What's your name?"

"Cameron, you?" He asked me.

"Vanessa." I said as he nodded his head.

"Why join this school?" I looked at him.

"Education you fool."

* * *

After the teacher came back she told us we were free to go, I jumped up and rushed out of the room.

"Vanessa right?" I turn around to find Cameron.

"Yeah." I stopped walking.

"It was nice meeting you." He said walking out of the school.

"You too." I said as he raised his hand up, indicating that he was leaving.

As I walked outside I found Tyler my brother simply leaning on his car.

Why was he here?

"Detention really? I expected more from you." Tyler said disappointedly.

Tyler had a bruise on his face, I looked at him confused.

"How did you get that?" I asked him.

"Some guy punched me because apparently I was getting too irritating." Tyler said touching his bruise.

Cameron.

"Damn, should've left the guy alone." I said as I got inside his car.

"I regret even opening my mouth." Tyler mumbled.

"Why did you wait for me?" I enquired as he tilted his head.

"Listen Vanessa, I'm sorry for not being the brother you wanted me to be, I hope we can forget the past and continue on." he mumbled.

I look at him and sigh, "It's alright Tyler." It wasn't alright, however he's my brother I can't hold stupid grudges on someone I'm related to by blood.

I'll always forgive but not forget.
