"The Dirty Little Secret Of Leigh Kitty Scarlet"
1
Yeah, yeah, I know what I’m doing is wrong, blah, blah, blah. I know my sixth time in your office in a day.
“This is a serious offense. Not only were you caught drawing graffiti on the football locker room entrance but you were also caught stealing some of the boy’s football equipment.” Mr. White lectured to me as my mind wandered off to the early fall leaves falling off the trees.
“Hey, young lady are you even paying attention?” He asked me as I snapped out of my trance.
“Look, I don’t care how many times you’re going to give me detention but, I’m graduating this year and you’ll never see me again, so just spare me the talk and give me the damn detention already so I can go back to class.” I said as I held my palm open waiting for that pink ticket that meant staying after school until 3:00 and going home for tomorrow and the next two weeks including Saturday mornings.
“You know, for sassing me you get a two Saturday detention added up to the two week detention I was going to give you for defacing the school and stealing equipment. Now go leave and go back to class, I never ever want to see you in this office again, understand?” He asked me as I got up, picked up my bag and walked out his office.
“I understand.” I mumbled as I walked out into the empty hallway.
A couple of boys were hanging out by their lockers, I recognized one of them as being the football captain and the other one I didn’t know well.
“Oooooooohhhh, here comes little miss dark princess. Please, don’t drag me down to the under world.” The captain said to me as the other one laughed at his sarcasm.
“Look, you piece of shit, don’t push me ‘cause I will take you down with me, Mitch. By the way, you know your football padding, yeah I set that on fire last night.” I said as I stuck out my tongue at him and walked away.
“You selfish little bitch! You set my shit on fire??? What the hell’s your problem?” He yelled as he grabbed a hold of my arm, almost crushing it with his grip.
“Get your beefy ass hand off my arm, ass wipe!” I said as I turned around to look at him.
“Not until you apologize for setting my football equipment on fire.” He said as his eyes narrowed, his jaw tightening.
“No, not until you return everything you stole from me last year.” I said as I stared right through his thick head.
“You know I can’t.” He said as his grip on me got tighter.
“So I guess, I’m not apologizing.” I said indifferently. He loosened his grip on me then, realizing that getting his equipment back was a lost cause.
“Yeah, that’s what I thought, so I’m going to pretend that this never even happened and walk away now. When you’re ready to give me back what you stole, call me.” I said as I flipped my
long black hair over my shoulder, my high heels clicking as I turned around and walked back to
class. “Ah, Miss. Scarlet, you’ve decided to join us. Do you mind telling me why?” Mrs. Lira asked I gave her my late slip.
“I was at the twelfth grade office this morning so that’s why I’m late.” I said as walked to my seat.
“Well, we were reviewing how to find the circumference of a circle.” She said as she handed me a sheet with formulas for circles.
“Okay class, your homework for tonight is Assignment #1 pages 749 to 751, numbers 4, 6 through 8, 15 through 20, 22, 24 and 37, it should be on your assignment sheet.” She said the homeroom bell rang.
“Please stand for the pledge of allegiance.” One of the secretaries announced over the intercom as we all stood and faced the flag that was hanging in the classroom as we recited the pledge back.
“Good morning samurais, today the football team is holding tryouts for the 2011-2012 season, after school from 2:00 to 4:00 if anyone is interested, all newcomers are welcomed. It will be held outside on the football field.” The principle announced before I spaced out. I got an idea! I am trying out for the team.
“Now, please turn on your televisions to watch the rest of the announcements.” The secretary said as she turned off the intercom. I sat in silence watching the morning announcements and thought out my master plan to ruin Mitch’s life like he did mine. The second bell rang, taking me out of my trance. I guess I’m going to have to make him apologize for real this time. I thought as I walked down the stairs and almost falling at that.
