Dear Diary: Cherie.

                                    

                                          
The bus stopped and I got off with Kairen. I was greeted by my group of friends. Cherie Mouse, Deven Hoglain and Hayden Johnson. They waved at us and I quickly ran to hug Cherie. 
Cherie is my girlfriend we have been dating for a month now same as Tom and Toodles.
Cherie smiled warmly. " You should button up. If not , you will get in trouble with your class tutor. "
I frowned. I hated Mr. Longford, the old man also hated me. He treated me like a pest, always glaring at me and giving me dirty looks. He was the worst but I don't blame him, I did roll his house with toilet paper, so I guess I sorta deserve it.
Tom and Toodles walked past us and Deven immediately snickered. " Here he goes, prince charming and his princess..."
Tom turned over to Deven and glared at him but Deven simply smirked. Now you can see how me and my friends are alike. We all hate Tom well except for Cherie and Kairen. 
We all strode down to our various classrooms and I went to mine, but I was surprised to find everyone standing while Mr. Longford stood at the front of the classroom with an Ipad in his hand.
He turned towards me and his solemn face turned to that of anger. He complained. " Jerry Timpson, you are late once again. "
I picked up my phone and showed Mr. Longford the time. " It's eight o'clock. "
Mr. Longford stared at my phone for a while before complaining again. " You are late, it's eight one. "
I was shocked. " But it just changed. You..."
Mr. Longford smiled in victory. "Well you haven't passed the threshold yet so indirectly you are LATE!!" 
His voice was shrieky and caused my ears to ring. This was what I meant by Mr. Longford hates me.
Mr. Longford changed our seating plan and the worst thing happened. I was sitting next to Tom!! 
I refused to sit next to Tom and so did Tom but Mr. Longford said either we sat down or we went to detention.
And so I am stuck sitting next to my worst enemy for maths class.
The test paper was handed to us and Mr. Longford gave us the instructions before going back to his desk.
I looked down at the paper and everything I saw was pure gibberish, what was this language? What is X and what is Y? Why do they exist? Who created them? How does this apply to my future? Will I ever use X and Y once I am out of school?
As I sat down complaining I soon realized I was sitting next to the smartest guy in our class. I shifted my chair towards Tom and checked his answers. I quickly copied them but of course Tom noticed me. He tried to protest but I placed my finger on his lips telling him to shoosh, I picked up his paper and quickly copied down the answer but Tom wasn't having it. He fought back and tried to drag his paper out of my hand but I dragged it back. 
Tom yelled. " Let Go!"
" No you let go! "
" I said let go Jerry!"
" Shut up Tom!!"
The paper tore into two and me and Tom fell off our chairs. Mr. Longford stood right next to me, his hand crossed. He was about to yell but I finished his sentence for him. " Jerry Timpson to the principal's office now.."
Mr. Longford glared at me before he yelled. " Jerry Timpson, Tom Wilkinson to the principal's office now!!"
Tom and I stood up, carried our bags and went over to the principal's office but his door was locked so we sat on the bench next to his office.
We maintained silence for a while before Tom finally spoke. " You just had to cheat, didn't ya!!"
" Hey, assuming you let me copy we won't be here but you just have to be annoying, don't ya!"
Tom dragged my collar. " You!"
I gave Tom a quick smirk before yelling in pain. " Oh Tom, how could you? I apologized and you are hitting me. What do you want from me, Tom? Should I kneel before you..hick..I am sorry!"
The principal was disgusted. " Tom Wilkinson, can I talk to you privately!"
Tom turned to meet the principal's intense gaze before he turned back to me and tightened his grip on my collar. " You little mouse!"
I smiled. " Bye Bye!"
The principal took Tom to his office for about five minutes before he called me in.
When I walked in Tom glared at me with intense rage and I chuckled.
This was obviously the first time that Tom was sent to the principal's office and he was obviously devastated. Well for me I was sure this was the hundredth time I was sent to the principal's office and in fact I think the principal is tired of seeing my face.
The principal, Mr. Rogers quickly cautioned us and gave us detentions before sending us out. Once we were out Tom pinned me to the wall and stared straight into my eyes, I couldn't help but smirk.
" Next time you do this I will hit you with a frying pan. "
I chuckled. " And next time you try to hit me with a frying pan you will be the one getting fried!"
I swung under Tom's armpit and ran away while he followed me from behind. It was the best chase I had ever had and best of all it was at school. I slid through the hallways and even slid through people's legs while Tom tried to slim his way through the crowd. This is the benefit of being small. We continued running until I reached a dead end at the sports hall. 
I could see the smile on Tom's face at the thought of him winning the chase but I had another escape root under his legs. I ran really fast towards him and slid through his leg. Tom was left speechless but before I could make a run for it someone grabbed me.
