Chapter 3

• Tristan freaking Carter!
• "I expect each and everyone of you to take this project very serious. You're all in your final year and any little drop in your grades will surely affect so many things" Mrs Williams our history teacher explained before adjusting her glasses. She cleared her throat and continued.
• "So this will be a group project and..."
• "I'm feeling very sleepy Shannon. I hate this class" Mae whined and blinked her eyes twice, trying to fight the sleep off her face. I chuckled and ruffled her pink hair.
• "You don't like school works Mae" I reminded her. She shook her head , agreeing to the fact. "I think what killed me in my first life was books. That's why I hate school works" she shivered when she said this.
• "Oh Mae you..." I stopped talking when I felt someone poking me continuously with a pencil. I stylishly turn my head to the back to glare at Rick.
• "What Rick?" I whispered yelled like a thief not wanting to get caught by Mrs Williams. You so don't want to see her angry. She loves sending students to detention.
• Rick leaned forward and whispered with a grin on his face.
• "I pray I get paired with you. I have no idea on writing a story" his words made me frown. Writing a story?, Wait! Is that what the project is about?. Oh! I wasn't even listening to Mrs Williams anymore.
• I turned my head back to face the front to listen to what Mrs Williams was talking about.
• "... Gregory, Ms O'Reilly and Ms Price" oh she was already calling names. "Remember, your story must be around the time of the Victorian Era. You must not steal a story from the web or from any books. I will definitely find out. " Mrs Williams informed and continued with calling out the names.
• "Mr Frederick, Mr Knight and Ms Lawson"
• Mae frowned and turned to the side to stare at me.
• "Rick doesn't know how to write a story and so does Josh" she pointed out. "Oh why didn't I get paired with you!" She grumbled and then said something incoherently.
• I felt Rick poking me again but I didn't turn back to face him. "Rick leave me the fuck alone!" I gritted my teeth.
• "The devil is really after me. He has cursed this day to not favour me" I heard him say from behind. " I knew today was cursed ever since Bobby called to break up with me" he continued whining. I could feel him tugging his hairs. He does it when he is frustrated
• Yeah! That Bobby guy called to break up with Rick. Dunno what Rick did to that dude.
• "And then me falling over nothing. Can this day get any worse"
• Rick sure started today on the wrong path. I chuckled lightly at his frustrated state.
• "... Ms O'Neill..." Oh that's me. I smiled and waited patiently for Mrs Williams to call out the names of my partners. I hope I get paired with good people with brains.
• Oh please Lord!. Please, please, please!.
• "Ms styles and Mr Carter" the smile on my lips slowly faded upon hearing the names Mrs Williams just called.
• Did the devil also lay a curse on me? Or has Rick passed his curse unto me?. I curled my hand into a fist and turned around to take a peek at my so called group partners.
• First it was the psycho girl with Auburn hairs. Nikki styles. Her lips painted with dark lipstick, her eyes adorned with dark mascara which screams back off. She had a gum in her mouth, drumming her black polished nails on the desk in front of her and like she knew I was gawking at her, she whipped her head to my direction and gave me the middle finger.
• See what I mean?, She is a sociopath.
• I bit my lip and took my eyes off her not even bothering to look for the last person on the list. I can't even afford to look at him right now.
• I can't believe I got paired with Tristan, the dark price. Yes! It's him. Tristan freaking Carter.
• I heard footsteps coming into the class as everyone whipped their heads to the door. Oh! Speak of the devil and he will surely show up. It was Tristan.
• "Mr Carter would you like telling me where you're coming from?" Mrs Williams asked and walked away from the teacher's desk before placing both hands on her waist. Oh! I didn't notice this. He wasn't even in class.
• "Went out for a drag" he replied casually staring at Mrs Williams with bored eyes.
• Mrs Williams scoffed at him and then said, "Detention at four"
• "Yeah whatever" he shrugged and walked in to find a place to sit. When I talk about a bad boy, that is Tristan Carter. He doesn't give a shit.
• Mrs Williams sighed and took her hand to the bridge of her nose to pinch it. She acts this way anytime she is frustrated.
• Just as she was about walking back to her desk, someone else walked into the classroom. It was Courtney, the school bitch.
• "I was about coming to look for you, Ms Swift. I thought you got kidnapped in the restroom" Mrs Williams said with a hint of sarcasm laced in her voice. Different chuckles flew from different corners. I also laughed at this.
• Courtney went out to use the restroom immediately Mrs Williams began the class and that was like since forever. She definitely didn't go to the restroom, that I know.
• Courtney gave Mrs Williams a smile. No! Not just a smile but a fake one.
• "You're so funny Mrs Williams. I got a little problem back there. You Know how mother nature is" She stated and adjusted her green mini skirt. She was putting on a black off shoulder cropped top showing off her pretty toned tummy. Her nails was polished with a green paint and her hairs... wait a minute!. Before she left the classroom, her hairs was tied in a very tight ponytail and right now the ponytail was quite loosed. Strands of hairs falling here and there.
• I traced my eyes from her hairs down to her shoulder and... My gosh! Those are hickeys.
• "Well you should go have your seat Ms 'Mother nature'." She rolled her eyes at Mrs Williams choice of words and went to have her seat, my eyes not leaving her. Before she could place her butt on her seat, she winked at Tristan. Oh! Now I get it.
• I looked at Tristan only for me to find him staring at the window. Well, he was sitting close to it. That is his favourite spot and everyone knows that.
• I slammed my locker shut and almost held my head in pain. Mae won't stop whining and grumbling. She kept on complaining and insulting her so called group partners. We were finally done with the history class which was the last class for today.
• "I don't know but I feel like I'm cursed. No! No! No!, That's not it. I think Rick has passed his curse to me. No! I don't think, I'm sure of it. That damned boy" she curled her tiny hands into a fist. Her nose flaring up in anger. Right now she was looking like an angry bird. I really have to agree with her, Rick has definitely passed his curse to us. Damn you Rick!. Today is really not a good day.
• "Ladies!" Rick jogged towards us beaming with smiles. What?, He is smiling!!. He is smiling and we're not. How come he is feeling fine and we're not?. Now it was my turn to get angry.
• Immediately he got to us, I yanked him by the collar pulling him towards me. My nose and ears were blazing with invisible fire.
• "How dare you smile Rick!, How dare you?!" I half yelled at his face. He was so close to me that I was sure he was feeling the steams coming out of my body.
• "Woah, woah woah. Easy there little buddy" he tried to calm me down while stylishly pulling himself away from my evil grip which he succeeded on doing but not for long, because Mae also did the same thing to him. She lifted both legs up to stand on her toes since she was really shorter than Rick.
• Rick also had to lower his body a little bit so it won't be too difficult for Little Mae.
• "Rick Frederick! You animal!, You cursed punk. How dare you share your bad day with Me!!!. " She shook him vigorously, fuming in rage. Wow! She is strong.
• "You're so evil Rick. Hu hu hu" she sobbed. Huh, isn't she over doing it. "Why will you do such a thing to poor me. I have never hurt anyone so why?!, Why will you do this to me Rick?. Why! Why! Why!" She hit his chest with her tiny hands, still crying like a baby.
• With each passing seconds, Rick was becoming more confused. I almost laughed at his confused expression but I couldn't.I was still mad at him so I kept it cool.
• "I...I don't know what I did. But I'm sorry Mae. Will you stop crying" he begged, still looking utterly confused. He tried to touch Mae but Mae didn't give him the chance. She slapped his hands away.
• Oh! She was mad!
• Real mad.
