Chapter 15

Graduation can’t come soon enough, and Garver can only protect me so much. It only takes a little jab for me to overreact when it comes to Cassidy and her little band of merry asshole companions. I’d call them friends, but they’d stab each other in the backs in a heartbeat if they had something to personally gain from it. It’s unfortunate that I have to continue to do labs with the two biggest idiots in the class.

Okay, maybe I should just explain why I’m being such a bitch in the first place. Like every other school day, I enter the class knowing, at least expecting, that words will be exchanged. The bell rings and the students adjust in their seats to go over the itinerary for this particular days lesson. While the teacher begins to address the people in the room, an awful stench fills my nostrils. It’s so strong I actually take my shirt and pull it up over my nose to smell the fresh fabric softener instead. No sooner do I react when I hear giggling from around. Cassidy offers the first inclination that I’m being set up. “Told you she stinks.”

The student behind me, Colby Granger, bellows a guffaw that disrupts the teacher.

I’m fully aware they’ve put something under my chair to play this prank. It reeks of dog shit plain and simple, and the fact that it’s smelled like this for the length of time it took me to get to class after they’d set this up almost makes me burst into a laughing fit. To go to such strides in order to attempt to embarrass me. “Do you really have nothing better to bide your time with?” Waving my hands around at the rest of my peers. “Oh yeah, the jokes on me. I only bathe once a month, because I live in the old, dirty, Collinswood Estate. I bet you think we don’t even have electricity or running water.”

She snarls while searching the room for one of our classmates to take her defense.

I continue, because if I’m anything it’s relentless. “The smell is emanating from you. Did you actually pick up the shit with your bare hands? It’s probably still stuck in those fake acrylic nails of yours. If I were you, I'd make sure I washed them good, or else you’ll have a nice nasty case of the runs. Wouldn’t want those white capris soiled in liquid shit would ya? It’s no wonder Garver doesn’t want you.”

Her reaction warrants full classroom attention. I don’t even think the entering teacher is aware of what’s about to go down. All eyes wide with shock, she shoves me. It’s not light either. My body hits the table behind me so hard it screeches as it’s moved from its place - wood against the linoleum floor. Righting myself, I don’t waste a single beat before giving the same gesture back. Her jock friend catches her before she can fall to the floor.

Then it’s on, and
