《Their Shattered Angel》So called badass

~Magnolia~
Since school begun, I haven't really had time to hang out with the boys except for dinner time. Leo and Damon have been absent for three days now for business purpose and I have been trying to hold up with school work. Unlike the boys I study to get good grades, they get them too, but without studying the siltiest bit.
Today, Damon and Leo get back and to my surprise we will have a guest tonight. Elijah. I heard his name before, when Damon talked about him having men to track down Nick and my foster dad. I guess it is for business reasons he'll be there. But the day is not over yet, I still have a whole Friday school day to go through first.
This time I arrive at school in Blake's car, entering the school propriety loudly because of the beautiful engin this car has. I noticed that Blake doesn't give a shit about the street rules and I clearly relate to it, knowing that my passion is illegal street racing.
When all the four siblings of the Knight family enter the school in a row like the bad bitches we are, we all go our different ways. As I am on my way to my class I am about to turn a corner, but I hear a loud voice right at the corner, so I stop in my tracks.
"No I don't fucking understand why you send my here !" the voice barked and it kinda looked familiar so I decide to take a small peak around the corner to see who it is. The boy's back was facing me, his phone pressed against his temple as I watch his hand clench and unclench into a fist. I recognised him as the boy who kicked me out of my chair the first day. I think his name is William if I remember well. " You said like twenty times that I will understand, but I still don't and it's been two months. I didn't sign up for that shit" he cursed and made sure to lower his voice to probably avoid curious people like me to listen to his conversation. "And yes I have it."

Thinking that I heard enough, I go around the corner and walk passed William to head to my class.
Luckily I arrive on time as the teacher is about to start his lesson, because being late again wouldn't be in my favour especially now that my 'new girl' excuse is starting to be unbelievable. But unlike me William bursts into the class two minutes later angering the teacher.
"Late again Mr. Osler ! I told you already that if this keeps going you will get expelled. I am warning you again and it is my last one, if you make another stupid or disrespectful thing and I don't care in which class you are I will get you expelled. And I won't hesitate next time Mr. Osler." The teacher is fuming and William just walks passed him to sit down in the back, next to me, not giving a shit about school. He looks more pissed than ever, probably because of the call he just head before in the hallway.
After this little incident in the first class with William, I expect it to be it for the day, but it's not. Our history teacher decided to make a surprise test. Great, we love it don't we ?
Fortunately for me I studied the subject the night before, so I believe it will go well, but I always have been bad at history so let's just see how things goes. I don't want to disappoint nor anger Damon, because he specifically told me to get good grades and who knows what happens with Damon when he gets angry ?
Anyways the teacher hands out the paper and we all start writing like mad man on our paper. Half way through I take a little break to think and see as William copies of a cheat paper. Our eyes meet and he gives me a cheeky grin, before continuing his test. Except it doesn't go as planned.

I watch as his paper slips off his lap and falls in the middle in between the table. My eyes go wide when I notice the teacher approaching, so by pure instinct I fake faint to fall ontop of the cheat paper covering it with my body. I have my eyes closed and have to stop myself from letting any amusement show on my face as I lay 'unconscious' on the ground. I hear people gather around me, but the teacher orders them to sit back at their places and that's when I decide to 'wake up' again.
The teacher's head is above mine and his eyes are wide open when he asks me if I am okay.
"Oh ugh... yeah, I -I think I am okay... I just got light headed and suddenly everything went black." I explain as I dramatically put a hand on my head, but my eyes cross those of William. A tint of amusement is in his eyes as he watches me from above with a smirk on his face.
" I am better now though. Can someone just give me some water ? I had on operation recently, it's probably why I fainted." I ask kindly and the teacher looks at me speechless for a few seconds, before blinking and ordering someone to bring me some water. And just when he turns around to bark at someone, I quickly grab the cheat paper from under my butt and slip it in William's hand. He anticipated my move and skilfully takes the paper from my hand to slip it back in his bag.
But Dang that was some badass team work. Right ?
"Are you sure you don't want to pass by the nurses office ?" the teacher insists, but I convince him by saying that it is the last class and that I will head back home anyway. But being an asshole like he is, he still made us finish the test.
At the end of the class, I walk out of the class and start walking away, but I get stopped as someone grabs my wrist. I flinch and snap my head to look at the person that gripped my wrist to see William.
"Didn't mean to scare you like that." he apologises, but continues to go on with the thing he actually wanted to say to me. "But why? Why did you do it ?" he asks puzzled.
" Why not ?" I shrug and look at him with an emotionless face.
"Why not ?! I have been nothing else than a jerk to you since the beginning. And on top of that you could have been caught and that would have ruined your perfect straight A record."
" Well first you can thank me, second of all, are you worried ?" I grinned and slightly mocked him. " Thirdly I felt bad for you if you got expelled and last but not least I had fun, so you're welcome."
"Didn't think you would like to play with a little fire, miss perfect." He smirks at me, which makes me roll my eyes at him. "But thank you. I owe you one."
"Nah all good. See you on Monday Mr. Osler." I mimic the teacher from this morning and get to make William smile to my surprise. I make a little awkward wave, before leaving him standing in the hallway, as I hurriedly make my way towards the parking lot to find Blake.
