Hi, my name is Becca and this is my first story. Hope y'all like it. :)
---------------------------------
Well, I've screwed up. Third day in a row not having homework for Mr. Jackson's class! Plus I broke dress code again. I knew the skirt was too short when I put it on, but Jake Matthews is in my class and he's so cute! I wanted to show off! Mr. Jackson has glared at me the whole period and when he says, "Jenny Eldridge, please stay after class for a moment", I'm expecting it.
The bell rings, but I stay seated as the class rushes out. It's Friday, and Trevor Sullivan is having a party tonight, so they're probably all going to get ready. I pout. I should be going to get ready, too!
"Problem, Ms. Eldridge?" Mr. Jackson asks with a smirk.
"No,sir", I say, trying to keep the sarcasm out of my voice. It leaks out anyway.
"I would hope not. And I hope you don't have any plans this evening because you're spending it with me. We're going to wash the desks, dust the book shelves, staple papers, and whatever else needs to be done around here."
I look at him in shock my mouth hanging wide open. He's still smirking. "B-b-but, sir, no! I can't! I won't!" I say, and get up out of my desk. I'm headed to the end of the row, prepared to walk out, when Mr. Jackson blocks my path.
"I wouldn't advice you leaving, Ms. Ethridge", he says calmly. Mr. Jackson isn't fat, but he's very buff. And tall. I am a pretty short girl, especially for my age, and skinny. I look up to his stern expression. I go back to my seat. He follows me. After I sit down, he leans across my desk. I feel a pang of fear shoot through me. No one is at the school. He could kill me, and no one would know. I sit back and glare at him, but I'm pretty sure I don't look too fierce.
"Ms. Eldridge, as I'm sure you know, you're failing my class. Severely. You have very little time to bring the grade up, and you know I don't do extra credit. You are also a very undisciplined girl. You don't do homework. You break dress code. Oftentimes, you are late. You show no interest in bettering yourself. Why is this?"
