2.In trouble again
The Bet
Olivia
If trouble was a sport, I would have a closet full of championship trophies.
We are in some serious troubles. Like always...But this time is worse!
Teddy Jones's parents are really angry because Teddy is in a low rated class,12C when he is supposed to be in the highest, 12A. Principal Nova is mad and the whole school's system is a mess.
And Lucy looks like she is going to murder us.
"I told you this is a bad idea.'' Andy whispers at me.
''Shut up, you were really happy when we changed the names'' I whisper back.
"Well, I-"
"Andy Astor and Olivia Meyer. To the principal office. Now'' the school's speaker called.
"Shit!''
''Merde!'' Me and Andy speak at the same time.
"Good job, idiots." Lucy said.
I rolled my eyes at her irony and walked towards the principal's office.
"Mom!" me and Andy said at the same time.
My mom and Andy's mom were sitting at the principal's office.
Double shit.
"What are you doing here?" I ask my mom.
"Well, hello to you too, your highness." my mom says with a glare.
If she is calling me 'your highness' then I really am in trouble.
"Olivia, Andy, we would like to speak to you two" principal Nova says.
"About what?" Andy asks.
"About you two ruining the school system." aunt Michelle, Andy's mother says.
"Quoi? We didn't do that.'' Andy says.
"Sure, you did. You were the only ones who came to my office." principal Nova says in a calm tone.
I hate her calm tone, it gets in my nerves. I can see it that she is really angry and yet she talks in a calm tone.
"Well, that doesn't mean-" I started to defend myself.
"And we got the CCTV footage.'' she interrupted me with a smile.
Oh shit, the cameras!
"How didn't we think about that?" Andy whispers. "Alright, alright, we got caught." he says raising his hands in surrender. "We admit that we did it and we are extremely sorry,principal Nova."
"Speak for yourself "I scoff.
"Olivia." mom narrows her eyes at me.
"What? I did it for Lucy, you know how she is when she is alone. She needs Andy in her class. I'll do it again in a heartbeat if it needs to. I'm not sorry at all.'' I say.
"Oh dear. You should have told me that. All of this wouldn't have happened if I had known about Lucy's issue. And the school's system wouldn't be a mess.'' principal Nova said with a pitiful smile which made my blood boil.
"Oh, come on, we all know you can fix the school's system within five minutes. You just need to create drama first.''I said and principal Nova gasped.
"Olivia." my mom yelled at me.
"What? It's true. And stop with that fake kindness of yours for Christ's sake!" I say and principal Nova gasped again.
"Liv you're making it all worse." Andy whispered.
"You're grounded miss." my mom said.
Great. Fucking great.
"Apologize" she glared at me, and I glared back.
A Meyer never apologizes.
I turn my heal to leave, but mom stops me.
"Don't you dare. Apologize now!''
"Calm down, dear.'' Aunt Michelle said.
I turn to open the door and mom calls.'' Don't you dare, Olivia.''
"Lucy doesn't have issues, principal Nova" I said and with that I left.
"Olivia Meyer, come back here.'' sorry mom.
â¯â¯â¯â¯
"Then she said to the principal that she likes to create drama. Drama for god's sake!'' my mom said.
Me and dad were sitting in the sofa with an angry mom pacing around the room. She is telling dad my behavior at school today.
"Oh my God. I can't believe it.'' dad said and then whispered ''That's my daughter.''
"Yeah, me neither.'' mom said and I tried my best to hold my laugh.
"Then she said to the principal to stop that fake kindness. Oh, the embarrassment!" mom said and covered her face with her hands.
"She said what?" dad said and laughed. "You said that?''
"Yeah. To her face!'' I laughed.
"That's a Meyer." dad said and high-fived me.
"Christian!" mom said with a glare.
''Ah Yeah, your mother is right. That is so, so disrespectful.'' dad said and then winked at me.
"I cannot with you two!'' mom said raising her hands.
"Come on Melinda, principal Nova deserved it. Her fake behavior it's so visible, it gets on my nerves sometimes.'' dad said and winked at me.
''Well, yes, but you shouldn't say that to your principal'' mom said.
"Okay mom, I'm sorry.'' I said.
"And this is the last time you put your hands on the school's system,you hear me?'' she said.
"I only did it for Lucy'' I said.
"I know love, but you can't ruin everyone else's lives just so you can fix you sister's.'' mom said.
Oh yeah, I can. But I didn't say that, instead I said ''Okay mom, I got it now.''
"Good." mom nodded ''Oh and you're still grounded. Not going out for a week except school''
"Oh, come on. Dad" I looked at my dad asking for help.
"Sorry pumpkin, mom's rules" he said, and I rolled my eyes.
"Anything else dear parents? I'm going to my room.'' I said.
I lied down on my bed, surrounded by fluffed toys. I know I'm 16, but I love them so much. I had them since I was a baby, my heart can't send them away.
I took Miss Strawberry in my hands and hugged her. Miss Strawberry was my favorite toy when I was a kid, she still is. Miss Strawberry is a soft pink teddy bear with a small strawberry in her head near her ear, she is the cutest fluffy toy in the earth.
"What a big return to school today, huh?'' I said to Miss Strawberry.
"Hey, Liv.'' Lucy called standing in my room's door.
"Hey Lucy'' I said. She came in and gave me a cup of orange juice.
This is her way of saying thank you to me. My sister is an introvert, while I am all the opposite.
She's not to talkative, but she won't stop talking if she gets comfortable around you. I know because she is like that around Andy and me. That's why I wanted Andy in her class so bad, so she won't feel alone. She is social awkward and shy, with Andy by her side she'll feel a little bit better.
"Thanks'' I said and got the glass ''Are you still mad at me?"
"A little bit'' she said, and I smiled.
"You shouldn't do that Liv'' she said ''Get in trouble for me."
"Oh, come on, of course I'll get in trouble for you, that's what extroverts do'' I said.
''Idiot'' she laughed, and I grinned.
ââââ
"Don't get in trouble again'' Lucy said as soon as I got out of her car. I rolled my eyes at her.
"Okay mom.'' I said.
''I mean it, Olivia.' 'she said.
''Okay, okay, I won't do anything.'' I said and headed towards the school.
I went to the cafeteria and bought my favorite chocolate. Milka Strawberry flavor.
I sat at our usual place and waited for Andy and Lucy to come.
"Do you know what is going to happen today?" Katrina's voice came out of nowhere.
Holy shit, she scared me!
Katrina is our class nerd and weirdo, she has got brown hair, which are always in a bun.
Her brown eyes are framed with a pair of black framed glasses.
"No, Katrina, I don't know." I say still scared.
"Is-'
"The Cullens big party'' Justin came out of nowhere and interrupted her.
Oh, come on, what's wrong with people and appearing out of nowhere today?
"Come on, I was going to say it." Katrina complained.
"Well, you were slower." Justin said.
"Why are you such a jerk? Where did all the gentlemen disappear?" she said.
"What was it with the Cullens again?" I asked not caring about their argument.
All I cared right now were the Cullens.
My family's biggest enemies. Or mostly my father's enemy.
My father and Adam Cullen are at each other's throats, a reason that I don't really know. 'Meyer Team' and "Cullen group' are the biggest companies in California and sadly rival companies. They are like a bomb ready to explode.
"Oh yes" Justin said turning to look at me '' It's Joel and Avril's 17th birthday. You know the Cullen twins? Yeah. So, they are throwing a huge party where everyone can go."
"What do you mean everyone can go?" I asked.
"I mean that every teenager can go to the party without being invited'' Justin said.
"Crazy, isn't it?" Katrina said.
"Interesting'' I said with a mischievous glint on my eyes.
My promise to stay out of trouble can wait.
ARE YOU CURIOUS ABOUT HOW MISS.STRAWBERRY LOOKS?
HERE IS SHE:
Isn't she cute? ( I know it looks like a boy more than a girl, but that is a thing to discuss on another chapter)
