Cloud looked down at me "I told you to stay away from him" I pulled my arm forcefully so he could let me go

I close my eyes and sighed trying to keep my composure "you both are ridiculous one way or another" I replied to him when I leaned close to his ear

I left both of them in the hallway

Fight all they want I don't care

I met up with Yara who was leaning at her locker and was reading the same novel as yesterday "morning" she grinned at me, I forced a fake genuine smile on her. I don't want to be rude but I don't have the right emotion to smile right now

"There is something on your mind is it?" She closed the book and stuffed it in her locker, I leaned at the locker next to hers and I nodded slowly

"It's Cloud and Aiden they're both so.." I was having a hard time finding the right words to say about them

"Hot" she said to end my sentence

"No that's not the word I'm looking for because if I agree to that I won't hear the end of Cloud's big ego boasting about his great genetics since he won the genetic lottery along with Aiden"

She snorted and leaned at her side to face me, her skin was shining

I just really want to know her skincare, her skin is just glowing

"So what word are you even looking for then?"

I thought to myself and said it out loud "immature"

She bit her lip trying to stifle her giggle "in your eyes they are but in the other eyes of ladies they are strong, smart and independent men"

I rolled my eyes at the way Yara complimented them "yeah sure, I'll just pretend they were not like the way you described them"

"But seriously Penelope what got you so stressed this early in the morning? The first period doesn't start for another hour" she looked at her watch and the time on her phone

"Cloud told me to stay away from Aiden and Aiden is not listening to me like Cloud" either way even if I stay with Aiden it would be hard

Yara added a new gloss to her lips and stopped when she heard what Cloud told me to do "he told you to stay away from him?"

"Yeah I know it's strange, they were close as heck back in preschool but now it looks like every time they meet it's like there is going to be a war that will occur anytime" okay, maybe I exaggerated a bit but it was almost like that

Yara puts on a thinking face and was playing with the strap of her bag "He must have fought with him without your knowledge" she pointed to me

"Well I didn't go to the airport to say goodbye to him since me and three of my sisters were in the hospital getting stitched up since we cut our knees on the rock after we ran around at the playground that was at the time has random rocks that we would just stumble on"

"That must be it! They must have fought in the airport" she told me like she solved the clue

"But the problem is I don't know what they fought about" I raised both of my hands a bit like an "I give up" sign

We heard Alice calling out to us excitedly but more specifically to Yara "I've never seen you so excited in the morning" I said to Alice and she pulled me and Yara close like a huddle

She looked around at the hallway that was has a few students putting their bags in their lockers but we're very far from us "You guys better not tell this to anyone"

Me and Yara both nodded eagerly awaiting what Alice has to say to us "remember Mary Rose's pool party?" She asked us

"I remember that she invited me but I know that the party would be only be filled with horny teenagers" Yara explained to us

I patted Yara's shoulder like she hasn't known about Alice's history yet "Yara, Alice is a horny teenager"

Yara covered her mouth at her in shock then she went back instantly "Nah, we all are"

I shake my head at her "not me though"

"Maybe puberty hasn't hit you yet" Alice joked and I lightly shoved her as she and Yara laughed

"So what happened at the pool party?" Yara glanced at Alice from her mirror on her locker as she checked her hair in the mirror, Alice walked up to her and whispered in her ear that made Yara let go of her wide-tooth hair comb fall to the ground

"Will lost it to you!?" She whisper yell to Alice and she nodded, I don't think I need to hear the full explanation to what was going on

I slowly moved myself away "See you guys later"

"Where are you going?" Alice looked at me and I lifted my books at her of my first-period class alone, "to be honest I don't want to hear the full detail so you guys enjoy yourselves" I wave at them before strolling in the hallways and stepping into the classroom first and alone with no other student

I was really bored so I read the book that I brought for the class as I wait I willingly answered some problems in the book and I applied the tutoring that Cloud did with me last night, who knew when you learn something it will be so satisfying answering the problems in the book

There was a loud noise made in front of me like a chair being pulled, it was Peter who put his arms at the back of his chair and was watching me answer my book "you got all the answers right"

He was a History geek and I'm sure if you ask him what happens in the year 1897 he would explain everything in perfect detail, so if he told me I got all of my answers are right it means "I did?" I asked him and he nodded

He pointed to number 7 in the problem "people would usually forget that Napoleon used to be a second lieutenant in an artillery regiment of the French army before everything that happened that help him rise in ranks and became emperor"

"Thanks Nickelson" he gave me a small salute "Anytime Price"

"You don't have to sit in front of me anymore" I told him, if I am going to reach my goal I have to at least stop hiding behind Peter

Peter moved his bag and sat next to me "Who knew Penelope Angel Price would stop hiding behind me" he made a light-hearted joke and I threw a small crumpled paper ball at him that I ripped at the corner of my notebook

"I need to see what I want to learn anyway" I focused back on my book to pass time, I didn't notice that there were already a lot of people in the room and the teacher came in as he greeted us good morning. He squinted his eyes the moment he saw me "who's she?" He pointed at me as he asked Peter

"Sir that's Penelope"

He squinted at me again "that's weird I don't remember seeing you in my class" he shrugged it off and started the lesson, our topic today was the French revolution

"So class could anyone tell me who was the first leader of the French revolution?" His eyes roamed around the class and only Peter was raising his hand up high

"Any other hands?" He asked but no one answered, I was stabbing my pencil in my eraser and my chin was on my hand on the table out of boredom. He was not gonna stop until someone volunteered to answer, he was becoming noisy that it was like a fly flying in my ear

I was so lost in my thoughts of how I could shut him up that I told the answer out loud "Georges-Jacques Danton" I didn't raise my head from my hand so the teacher has to ask "alright who answered that?"

Peter was no snitch so he didn't say a word, the teacher asked a question again "so what was the slogan or what the French people yelled during the reign of terror in French does anyone know?"

Danny raised her hand "it was Liberty, Fraternity and Equality" she proudly answers

"Thank you for your answer Danny but I said in French, does anyone know?" He asked the class leaving Danny humiliated and she was now glaring dagger the teacher at the back of his head

He became noisier that he lectured the whole class, it was frustrating for me because I don't want the attention but he is becoming unbearable. The class was supposed to end but he hasn't stopped lecturing us that I snapped

I slammed my fist on the table "you want an answer? I'll GIVE YOU THE ANSWER, LIBERTÈ, EQUALITÈ, FRATERNITÈ!" I yelled at him but I wasn't finished, I was so pissed that I went full-blown angry French woman at him

"Je ne pense pas que vous le remarquiez mais j'essaie de réussir ce cours et tout ce que vous faites est de réagir de manière excessive parce que personne n'a répondu à votre question, arrêtez d'être une telle mouche ! et deviens un putain de prof!" (I don't think you notice it but I'm trying to pass this course and all you do is overreact because no one answered your question, stop being such a fly! and become a fucking teacher!) It seems my anger scared the teacher

"Peter could you calm her down please?" his voice was shaking a bit as he asked Peter and he followed him, he gave me candy in class in front of the teacher but I don't think he wants to stop him and make me angry again

He cleared his throat and dismissed class, on the way out some students thanked me because I finally made him dismiss the class. Danny though was not impressed as she hit my shoulder as she passed by me

"Jealous biotch" Peter muttered that only we both can hear
