Billie's P.O.V
I arrived home late in the evening as usual. Some kids had decided it would be fun to mess with my files. What the moron's didn't know was that theres a camera in the classroom. So tomorrow, I'll make sure that the whole class suffers.
"Billie, you're home." My wife, Adrienne, stepped out of the living room.
"At last." I pulled her into a hug and kissed her forehead.
"You must be tired." She murmured into my ear.
"Not really, no."
I was infact quite tired, but I knew she had other plans instead of actually sleeping.
"Suit yourself." She sighed and went upstairs. That had been the third time that I had blew her off this week.
My seventeen years old son, Joey, appeared from the kitchen.
"Hey dad." He grinned at me.
"Hey Joey."
An uncomfortable silence filled the room. Joey gazed at his shoes before deciding to speak up.
"Erm..I'm gonna go to my room and...do some..homework. Yes, homework, that's it."
I could tell that he was lying, Joey never done any homework. Things had been awkward like this ever since I accepted a job at his college. We had agreed it would be best to stay out of eachothers way. It's not that Joey and I didn't get along, we just have different preferences.
After eating, I sat on the couch and watched the tv, same old crappy shows, same old crappy actors. Soon enough, tiredness got the best of me and I was fast asleep.

"Everyone shut the fuck up." I silenced the class as I walked in. They all did as they were told, I had some strange teaching methods but at least they all obeyed. I noticed that the new boy was talking to no-one in particular. I couldn't quite place his name, considering that I didn't really give a shit. I had heard a lot about him and knew that he was nothing but trouble. What he does with his life doesn't really phase me, all I wanted was him to pass me class and be gone.
"You," I pointed at him, I said shut the fuck up."
He frowned at me for a short while.
"Yesterday, someone messed up my files."
Everyone exchanged puzzled looks, even the culprits.
"Whoever did it can come forward and admit it or the whole class will suffer."
No-one said anything, they knew who did it and so did I.
"Fine. You can all stay here until the person confesses. I can stay here all day."
"Why should we all suffer because of some idiot's mistake? Gloria said, the day that she stops talking shall be the best day of my life.
"Well, the idiot can confess now." I replied.
"It was obviously Jimmy," Jack pointed out, "He was the last one in the class."
I knew that it wasn't Jimny and that it was Jack and one of his friends, but I played along.
Jimmy didn't look up from his desk, he played with the bands on his wrist.
"I'm not gonna admit anything or deny anything." He said coldly. Something about this seventeen year old really got to me, maybe it was the way he portrayed himself or maybe it was his attitude towards everyone.
"I guess no-one is going anywhere."
"I'll get you for this." I heard Jack hiss at Jimmy.
After the bell rang everyone stayed put. Each one of them kept shooting daggers at Jimmy with their eyes. They were all getting fed up and angry of being kept back.
"It was me." A kid called Alex finally said. I had gotten them right where I wanted.
"You couldn't have done all that by yourself, who helped you?"
He looked at Jack, who stared back at him.
"Jack did."
"Fuck you, Alex." Jack muttered.
I allowed the rest of the class to leave but kept Jack, Alex and Jimmy back.
"What am I here for?" Jimmy asked.
I ignored him and turned to the other boys.
"Since you're both so great at breaking into my filing cabinet, you can both rearrange everything, alphabetically."
I had already rearranged everything, so I emptied everything onto the ground.
"But that'll take forever." Jack whined.
"Not my fucking problem."
I forgot that Jimmy was still standing there, looking impatient as ever.
"Can I see your questions from yesterday?"
He raised a questioning eyebrow.
"I didn't do them."
What a pleasant surprise, as if I didn't see this coming.
"You do realise that's going to contribute towards your end of the year grade for my class?"
He shrugged, "So what? I have other classes."
His attitude was really starting to piss me off.
"Yes, you need a C grade or higher for each of them, and if you fail my class, you'll fail the year."
That caught Jimmy's attention, he looked at me as if I was joking.
"Great." He said sarcastically.
"It's not fucking funny, I want those questions done for tomorrow."
"No can do."
I gritted my teeth, who the fuck did he think he was?
"Turn up tomorrow without those questions done and I promise you that you'll regret it."
He pushed past me and walked out of the class.
Fuck, this boy was really asking for trouble.
"You both can go, you'll finish this tomorrow."
"But we're not even nearly finished." Alex pointed out.
"I said go!" I screamed.
They both ran out of the class without hesitation. I locked the classroom door and heading for my car, I was burning with anger.
"Hey dad!"
I turned to see Joey running up to me.
"Shouldn't you be heading home?"
"My motorcycle broke down, can I get a ride?"
I nodded my head and slipped into the driver's seat.
"How is your class of delinquents?" He chuckled.
"They're not delinquents. Just kids who have their heads stuck up their ass."
Joey laughed slowly, unsure if I was joking or not.
"Billie." Adrienne wrapped her arms around me as I entered the door.
"Hey babe." I gently kissed her lips.
"I'm still here you know? Can't you guys save it for the bedroom?" Joey wrinkled his nose, he quickly ran upstairs.
"He can be so childish." Adrienne laughed, she pulled on my hand and led me towards the bedroom.
"Adrienne."
I knew exactly where this was going. She slowly unbuttoned my shirt. I took hold of her hands and looked into her eyes.
"I really can't do this right now."
Adrienne scoffed, "You say the same thing every fucking night, Billie. Am I really that repulsive?"
I shook my head, "No, I'm just not in the mood."
"Fuck you, Billie Joe Armstrong." She stormed out of the room, slamming the door shut.
"Well done Billie." I said quietly to myself. I fell back onto the bed and slowly closed my eyes. Life was so difficult right now.
