The Carpal Tunnel Of Love

Chapter 24

Bandit's POV

Christmas is finally over. It's now time to go back to school. In a weird way, I can't wait to go to school, but then. on the other hand, I don't want to go... No one likes school.

I got to school at the right time. I wasn't early, yet I wasn't late. As soon as I parked my car, everyone came rushing over to me. By the time I had reached my locker, I had made 200 deals.

"Bandit!" Harley beamed when she saw me.

Stood behind Harley was Candy. She had bleach blonde hair and wore more make-up than Harley. She wore a blouse, that had the first few top buttons undone to show off her breasts more, and a skirt that was so short, you could almost see her underwear.

"Did you miss me?" I joked after I gave Harley a hug.

"And you are?" Candy hissed at me.

"Oh, I'm Bandit." I smirked. "You must be Candy... I've heard so much about you."

"I'm guessing your the new girl?" She asked, using the same sour tone.

"No, I'm not actually..." My smirked started turning into a smug smile. "I've been at the school for a few years."

She rolled her eyes. "Of course you have... Why wasn't you here then when I started? Away on holiday?"

"Actually no." I kept my smug smile. "I was in rehab... You didn't hear? Before you ask why, I did drugs."

"Oh..." Was all she said.

"So, I see the Harley befriended you." I pointed out.

"Yeah, she did." Candy snapped. "We're best friends."

"Clearly not." I couldn't help but giggle. "I'm her best friend. I have been since the day I was born."

"Shut up emo." Candy hissed.

"Funny enough, that word doesn't offend me." I smirked. "I'm guessing you haven't been told anything about me... Correct?"

She nodded. "Yeah."

My smirk faded. "Though so... Let's put it this way... I have my way round this school, a lot of people come to me for help, and I promise to do so. Sometimes, if I ask nicely, they'll do something nice for me in return. If you so much as piss me off, I could get a whole lot of people on you... Or I could just beat you up my self. So, uh, don't mess with me."

"Whatever." She scoffed.

Candy was in all of my lessons unfortunately. She didn't bother me yet, but she'll give me death glares when people came over to me and not her.

Soon, English arrived. I was actually surprised that Candy didn't remember me from Christmas.

I walked into the room with Harley and Candy. They went straight to their desks whiles I went straight over to Pete.

"What have I missed so far sir?" I asked.

"Nothing important Bandit." Pete smiled.

"Good." I beamed and then walked to my original desk.

The task was simple. It was to write everything down that we knew about the story Of Mice & Men. I managed to do the task within seconds. After everyone as done, it was time for a class discussion.

"Sir, I don't get this topic." Candy sighed in a flirtatious tone.

I couldn't help but giggle. This topic was based on a book... But then again, she probably had never read one.

"What are you laughing at?" She hissed at me.

"Nothing." I tried holding in my laugh. but failed.

"Bandit, stop laughing." Mr Wentz ordered.

"Sorry Mr Wentz." I stopped laughing and smiled at him.

"Candy, what don't you get?" Pete sighed, looking at Candy.

"All of it..." She paused. "I think I need extra tuition."

Me and Harley looked at each other. Harley gave me a look that said 'now do you see what I meant'.

"Her version of tuition will involve getting into his pants." I whispered as quietly as I could.

"Bandit, Harley, do you two have something to share with the class?" Miss White asked, noticing what was going on between me and Harley.

"No miss." I sighed. "But, it was all me... Harley wasn't talking."

"Okay..." Pete sighed. "Bandit, Candy, I want both of you to stay behind after class."

"Yes sir." We both said.

The class discussion continued and then the bell rang for lunch. Everyone, but me and Candy, left the class.

"Here is a help sheet." Pete told Candy, handing her the sheet. "I want you to fill it in now. If you don't finish it, come back after school."

She smiled. "Thank you Mr Wentz."

Pete then came over to me. "You've been at school for only half of the school day, and already, you've got yourself in trouble... New record?"

I couldn't help but laugh a little. "Must be..."

"Are you going to tell me what you and Harley were talking about?" He asked.

"Girl stuff..." I lied.

"Okay..." He nodded. "No way am I going through that conversation again."

"Exactly." I smiled.

"Mr Wentz, I'll be back be next lesson." Carrie informed him. "There's a little problem I need to sort out."

Pete nodded. "That's fine."

She left in hurry. Pete moved and sat on his desk, facing me.

"Hold on..." Candy suddenly said.

Me and Pete both turned to her. She was staring at me.

"Wasn't you the girl that was with Mr Wentz before Christmas?" She asked me. "You jumped on his back and threw the snow ball in his face..."

"Yes I was." Smiling at the memory. "That was the best pay back ever."

"I got you back though." Pete pointed out. "I tipped that bucket of ice over you..."

"I don't get it..." Candy sighed. "How do you two know each other? How can you hang around each other with others questioning."

"I'm in a band with her brother." Pete explained. "She's like an annoying little sister."

I pretended to look offended. "I am not annoy..."

"You told me that there was a pizza in your freezer..." He explained. "When I opened the box, it was empty and you told me that you ate it for me..."

"Oh yeah..." I sighed, remembering that night.

The bell went signaling the end of lunch. Candy handed in her paper and then walked off with me following her.
