The Stories We Tell

CHAPTER 2

Erin's POV-

I was really late. The teacher Ms. Rachel is truly hot-tempered. She's angry like everyday.

I got into the classroom to find everyone already seated. Ms. Rachel gave me a dirty look before shouting at me

" Why are you late to my class young lady?"

I sighed " Some kid bumped into me in the hall and my books fell, so I had to pick them up"

Just as I thought this matter was finished, I was about to go find a seat when she shouted again

" That is not an excuse!"

A little chuckle escaped my lips, do I really have to explain myself any further?

" You've got to be kidding me"

Now she was furious, " Excuse me? Get out of my class NOW!"

Now I was totally confused. "What?" I replied

"You heard me get out of my damn classroom" she scream once more.

"Whatever" I shouted while walking out. And I could hear chatter start to fill the room.

I waited in the girls locker room for the bell to ring. Which seemed like forever. When the bell finally did ring, my name was called on the loud speaker.

I knew right away why I was being called. I got to the Office in waited outside. It did not take long for the lady to call me in.

"Hello Ms.Reed" Ms. Wilson greeted as I sat down.

"I'm sure you know why you are here, So why were you late." she looked down at her notepad and continued " and disrespecting Ms.Rachel?"

I sighed knowing this was probably going to be a long talk. " Well, Ms. Wilson I can assure you this wouldn't have happened if Ms. Rachel would've just heard me out" I assured her.

" Then what happened, Ms.Reed?" she asked.

"Well, I was walking from my first class when some kid bumped into me and all my books fell to the ground. As you might have already guessed,  yes, I picked them up. 

Which, yes, did take a while since a bunch of kids were still roaming around the halls.

By the time i got to Ms. Rachel's class everyone was already settled and I was late. I tried explaining to her what had happened but she was still somewhat angry, she told me to get out her class room.

So, guess what I did. Yup, you once again guessed it. I got out of her classroom,"

Speechless, Ms. Wilson spoke " Just.. try not to be late anymore okay.. you can go now"

I didn't think she really appreciated my sarcasm, but sarcasm was practically my life and that's how I spoke on the daily.

I stood from my chair and got out. Not only was I annoyed at that kid who bumped into me, because they were the reason I was here in the first place.

I was pissed at Ms. Rachel. I mean I knew she had anger issues, but I didn't know she'd take things this far. What a f*****g waste of my time.
