Scarlett's POV.

We stood there staring at each other with pure hatred. If eyes could murder people, I would have already killed him. None of us even took the effort to blink. People in the hallway were also frozen. It was like someone paused a movie.

"Why is no one in class?" we heard a voice shout.

That was when our attention shifted to someone else. The principal was standing near his office door giving everyone a furious look. All the students in the hallway scattered and started walking in the directions of their classes.

"Miss Jensen and Mr Lockhart, both of you my office now!" He scowled.

We both rolled our eyes and gave each other another death glare before walking towards his office. Principal Matthews office was medium sized. Everything was placed in order. He had two chairs neatly placed next to each other.

He closed the door behind us and went to take a seat in his own chair. He sat there and stared at me for some time as I was scanning the office.

"Plan to come here often?" He questioned.

"No. I was just admiring your office. It's very neat." I smiled and the jerk sitting next to me scoffed.

"Thank you for the compliment Miss but it won't get you out of detention." He replied sarcastically.

"Detention!" I exclaimed. "I didn't even do anything!"

The principal ignored me and looked at that jerk.

"Care to explain yourself, Mr Lockhart," he asked that asshat patiently.

"I..Uhh...Okay fine! I admit it was my mistake. She had every right to slap me." He calmly replied.

I shot my head up in his direction and looked at him, difficult to believe what he just said. I even blinked thrice because he is an A grade jerk and what he did was an act of being nice.

"She doesn't need to be in detention. Leave her and anyway it's her first day." He continued talking.

I secretly pinched myself but it hurt, so I was not dreaming. He was actually being nice. Ha! I know! He is going to take his personal revenge later. He pretending to be nice, but actually he isn't. He still hates me. Now it all made sense. Now everything digested.

"If you say so. Miss Jensen you are free to go." He smiled.

"But I don't know where the literature class it, it would be great if you gave me the directions.

"It's at the..."

"Why don't I show you?" He cut the principal and stood up.

"That's a great idea too!" Principal Matthews said.

Great! Now he will take his revenge. Prepare yourself Scarlett, DO NOT BELIEVE ANYTHING HE SAYS. I spoke to myself in my head. God! I can be weird sometimes.

We exited the principal's office and were walking in the hallway. There was no one except for the janitor who was cleaning the floors. He gave us both a polite smile as we passed him. I returned the same smile.

"What are you planing. Lockhart?" I spoke, cutting the silence.

"What do you mean. Jensen?" He innocently replied.

"Don't act like a puppy! I know guys like you. You are planning your revenge on me. Just say it!" I scoffed.

He just laughed heartily when I said that. Oh my god! Is this man crazy?? Why is he laughing. Something is seriously wrong with him.

Wait! What if he is a psychopath and kills me in my sleep! I have to tell Roxie not to give him my address.

"Did I just say something funny?" I asked him.

"Yes! Me planning a revenge! That is such a waste of time and I don't waste time on girls like you." He laughed but was serious during the last sentence.

"Cool!" I replied, nonchalantly.

"Here is your class, I'll see you when I see you. Bye for now." With that he left. I entered the class and saw the teacher giving me the death stare.

What's with everyone giving crazy stares? Towns are always so creepy, especially if you are new.

I took a seat near the window and paid attention the last five minutes of the classes. The bell rang and I packed up my things as I decided to meet Roxie outside.

I told her everything. Turns out we had the same classes except for Literature. So cool! She didn't believe when I said that he save my ass today. Just like me. Also, she alerted me who he was. Why was I not surprised?

It was lunch time and I was sitting with Roxie listening to some of her favourite songs. She is a big directioner. She had almost every one direction songs on her phone.

The rest of the school day went as I thought it would. Me praying to god to end the lecture so I can leave.

I went home and greeted my mother. She had already unpacked most of the things. She was definitely a Superwoman. But her face was exhausted. I asked her to rest while I unpack the rest of the things.

It took me the whole evening to unpack and finally when I was done, I threw myself on the couch and closed my eyes for a minute. Mom came down from her room and cooked our dinner.

While eating I told her everything that happened at school today. Everything about that JERK. She couldn't believe the fact that I got myself into trouble the first day of school. But she was also proud that I stood up and wasn't scared.

After having the mouth watering dinner I helped my mom with the dishes. She talked about her new job at the Maystore. She was happy. I was happy.

After the long, tiring day we both had, we sat on the couch and watched F•R•I•E•N•D•S. Rachel was breaking up with Ross and my mom was crying throughout the scene. She had already watched that episode a million times but still she cries, everytime. She amuses me.

I heard the doorbell and gave my mom a dazed look. None of us were expecting anyone at this time. I checked the clock and it was almost 11 at night. I made my way to the door and opened it.

There stood a tall guy having a smirk on his face, I turned the porch light on and saw Trevor standing there. I knew it! He is a serial killer.

"Lockhart! What are you doing here?" I asked.

"I was thinking about the whole revenge thing. So, I came to a conclusion." He grinned.

"You came all the way here at this time to tell me what you were thinking? Now who is wasting time?" I replied.

"No! I am here to tell you my conclusion." He said.

I opened my door completely and leaned against the door frame.

"Go ahead. I am all ears." I said, not trying to sound interested.

"See I am the most popular guy of the school and you just slapped me today, in front of the whole school. So, I think you should apologize. But, I know you wouldn't because I sort of deserved the slap."

Is this guy for real! He thought I should apologize! God he is such a pain in the ass.

"Anyway.." he continued, "So you've got two options. Either apologize for what you did and I'll still continue pranking and torturing you like any guy would or else.."

"Or else what?" I snapped.

"Be my date in all of the school and town functions." He smiled.
