The Player and the Nobody

Chapter 8: Detention

§Detention§

I storm out of the class with the pink slip in my hand. As I start to drag myself to the detention room I see Derek with some Junior against the lockers getting pretty intimate. I scoff and they glance my way before sucking each others faces off again. I gag as I walk into the room.

The teacher was snoring loudly on his desk.

"Great."

"He is constantly sleeping. I just stay so I don't have to go to class." I jump not realizing anyone else was in here.

"Whatever." I say my attitude radiating off me.

"Sassy much? What's a goody-goody like you doing in here anyways?"

"What do you care?!" I was getting annoyed at his peskiness.

"What's your problem?" I can hear a smirk on his face. Oh this could get fun, messing with a random guy that I'll probably never see again. No harm done. Right?

"Why do you think I'm a goody-goody? Huh? I could be wanted in 23 states." I silently thank myself for taking drama for 6 years.

"Oh really?"

"Yep!"

"And how did that happen exactly?"

"Well I... Umm... I'm not really aloud to say. Its a law they enforced on me."

"Wow! I under estimated you, but I think I can top it."

"Yeah?"

"Yeah."

"Oh please do tell me how."

"Nope that's saved for another time."

"You think you'll see me again? Optimistic are we?"

"Well a guy can dream."

"Wha-what?"

"What you think just because you're a 'rebel', I can't think your hot?"

"Umm... Yo-you think I'm hot?"

"Why are you surprised?"

"No guy has ever called me hot before."

"Well I could do it more often if you decide to go on a date with me."

"Your a total stranger! I would never!"

"Really? So why are you really here?" CRAP I forgot I was supposed to be a bad girl.

"Uh... I uhhh.. I guess I got caught 'cheating'" I reply trying to find a face, "Why is it so dark in here? Its like a funeral home." He chuckles before replying.

"I like you. What's your name?"

"Maggie. Yours?"

"Ashton." I could physically feel the color draining from my face. Ashton Samules, the school bad boy and hottest guy on the planet(but I think he has some competition with Derek). Everyone fears him, if you get on his bad side your done for, and he has never ever asked a girl on a date.

"Uh.. I uh.. I'm so sorry for being sassy, rude, and a total witch." Please please don't hurt me I couldn't stop chanting it over and over.

"I'm not going to hurt a girl. I have my limits."

"Right. That wasn't supposed to come out of my mouth. Sorry. I'll just umm.. Be sitting now. Leaving you to your ways before I interrupted them with my rudeness."

"You know my offer still stands."

"What?"

"I would love to take you out on a date sometime."

"Even after I treated you so.. So.. Wrong?"

"No girl has ever stood up to me before. To be honest it's kind of a turn on."

"Oh, well then how can I say no?" I smile at him as he leans back in his chair, his perfect biceps bulging out of his sleeves.

"You can't, it's as simple as that." I turn around and pull out my journal and start to write down some thoughts, but get interrupted by the door swinging open and slamming against the wall. I hear kissing and roll my eyes. Teenagers always trying to get into each others pants. I turn around to see who it was, but get disappointed when I see Derek with Karla. What the hell happened to that other girl?

"Ah-hem!" I cleared my throat exaggeratedly and they come up for air.

"Oh, yea. Detention room. That's what this is. I just thought is was some janitors closet." Karla said grasping onto Derek's leg as if her life depended on it.

"Pig!" Ashton coughs from where he was seated. I bite my lip to hold my laughter, but feel a smile rise onto my face.

"Who the hell do you think you are?!" She screams at him. Derek sighs, lifts her off his lap and drops her on the floor.

"Baby? What are you doing?"

"I'm bored, so bye!" He waves as he strutts out of the room.

"This is your fault!" She glares at the area where Ashton was sitting. I couldn't wait to see the look on her face when she realized that he was who he was.

"Yeah, you might just want to take that back." He says sighing.

"Yea, you should really stop there." I say turning around in my seat to get a better view of the show.

"Stay out of this, freak."

"Take it back, or you've got a whole other thing coming." I see Ashton's fists clench and I gulp.

"Oh and why is that?" Ashton stands up and walks towards me. The light starts to shine on his flawless features and I can't help, but stare at him in awe.

Karla's jaw drops and she starts backing away, "Umm.. I-I didn't know that it was you Ashton. I uh thought you were just some loser in the back. Forgive me?" She gives him a small smile and tilts her head.

"Get out, while I still give you the chance." She bolts out of the classroom so quick you'd think there was a free shoe sale in the hall.

"I thought you said girls never talked back to you." He looks down at me the anger vanishing.

"She doesn't count as a girl, more like a demon with heels." I snort unattractivly at this and he gave me the cutest crooked grin I have ever seen in my entire life.

"So about that date.. I will pick you up at 7 tonight. Wear something nice."

"Okay." I whisper as he walks out the door and it then dawned on me that I had nothing to wear. Time to call in the big guns and go shopping!
