Clay POV.

"Ok from when I leave this class you lot will have to stay in here for 1 hour, or until I dismiss you, and you best behave or I might tell the gym teachers to pick on you next time you do sports class." Mr Brown explained

The entire group of schools delinquents watched as he walked over to the door and held the handle. His eyes traced over us before he left.

"welcome to today's detention you lot." He said before shutting the door and leaving.

I let out a half happy sigh, seeing as the group of troublemakers turned to eachother and began starting their own conversations and left us alone. Beside me I saw the brunette shift uncomfortably in his seat, looking out of the window with sorrow in his eyes, he looked close to crying.

"Hey are you ok George?" I asked, pulling my chair and desk closer to his.
"I-I'm fine, just first detention." He muttered, not taking his eyes away from the window.
Silently I nodded, after a moment of silence the Brit continued, "this is different to how I expected detention to be, a lot more talking and moving around."

"Yeah" I agreed laughing slightly, before changing my half amused face for a more solemn one, "look George, I am sorry I we got detention, it is my fault, I should of said you had nothing to do with it."
"Wait what?" The brunette asked, finally pulling his gaze away from the glass to look at me, "this isn't your fault Clay, the street fight was you just defending me after those dickless morons attacked me. And the party was my drunk self doing everything, neither should have gotten you a detention, although I did deserve one."

His tone changed to a sorrowful one when he said that, and George returned his gaze to the window, trying to distract himself. I just sat there uselessly, I should definitely say something, but as usual I couldn't find the words.

I sighed out in annoyance before turning back and letting my eyes scan over the group of everyone else in the detention classroom. There were the usual crowds of people; school bullies, people who bunked off school, the occasional student who cheated on their test. All of which were just walking around chatting or entertaining themselves.

One group in the corner was also keeping to themselves but kept looking over at us angrily every so often. Wilbur sat talking to Zak who seemed like he was only partially listening, both pairs of eyes were trailing lazily around the room but kept snapping back to glare at us.
Nick was the only one of the trio not sitting down, he was typing away on his phone, which is not allowed in detention, a presumable rule.

When I looked back over to George I saw him reading quietly. Since books were allowed in detention he must have figured he'd get further ahead on his book. However that didn't seem easy considering the large amount of noise coming from around the room.
I remembered I also had my book on me and so I pulled it out of my backpack's front pocket, then opened to the right page and began reading.

"Look at these nerds reading in detention." Someone laughed from the centre of the room as he made his way over to us. From a quick glance up ag him I could notice a few things.
First, he was easily 5"8, and had long pink hair as well as several piercings in each ear. Second was that he, and the guy behind him who seemed to be his friend both wore neat clothing but had a crazed expression which made the pair seem psychotic.
Behind him stood a man of about 6"3. He had hazel brown hair and was drinking something from a metal drink bottle that reeked strangely of booze.

"What are you 2 nerds in here for?" The pinkette asked, I still hadn't looked up to him and I was easily the same height as his friend.
His friend agreed, adding onto the question."Yeah? Did you 2 nerds crinkle a book page or something?" He laughed deeply.

They both seemed about 18, a year above George and I noticed the Brit look up from his book from the corner of my eye. Georgie just gave them one of his unamused stares and they noticed who he was.

"You're that billionaire Davidson's son, the kid who'll inherit his business once he flies the fucking coop." The taller of the pair asked the brunette before taking another swig of his mysterious drink.
"Heh?" The pinkette looked confused at what the other was saying and looked over to the man who seemed to be chugging his bottle now. The man just rolled his eyes as he pulled the drink away from his lips. "Techno, you know that billionaire that that guy Philza works for? Well this is the billionaire's son."

Techno glanced over at George then back at his friend, "you sure about that Shlatt? I mean, he's not really billionaire-like."
Shlatt nodded justly, "I may be drunk, but I'm still sober enough to recognise him."
The pair then turned to me, "and who are you then?" Techno asked as I flipped the page of my book.

I shut the book and looked up at them, before giving them a smile, "I'm Clay Smith, now can you leave us alone to read in peace please."
Shlatt looked me up and down in an unsubtle manner, barely trying to hide it, Techno was more nonchalant about it and just kept his dark eyes focused on my emerald green ones, or maybe he just looked when I wasn't focused.

"Aren't you that guy who became the most popular person in this shithole in like a day?" Shlatt asked causing me to look away from Techno.
I nodded and turned to look over at George, who seemed more interested in his book than the conversation.
"So how did you both end up in here?" The taller of the pair standing up continued.
"Got into a fight with those dickheads over there." I pointed towards the trio of bullies who seemed somewhat intimidated by the appearance of Techno and Shlatt, and I don't blame them.

Apparently Techno and Shlatt can be really dangerous to mess with and hated talking to new people, but they seemed to take an interest in us and looked like they weren't wanting to actually beat up myself or, more importantly, George.

"That's nice." Techno said in his monotone voice, sounding like he was getting bored of talking to us. "Hey, I think I know that guy." Shlatt pointed towards Wilbur, who seemed the most intimidated of the pair then Zak was, and Nick... Well Nick was still typing on his phone and didn't know what was going on.
"He and I got into this big fight once on the school playground back when we were like 9 or 8 I remember beating him and then kicking him and his younger adopted brother off of the play equipment."

Shlatt looked ready to say more but then Mr Brown came back and the pair quickly slid themselves into the chairs of the desks in front of us and acted as though they'd been there the entire time.
"It's been close enough to an hour and I want to go home." The teacher grumbled, "I guess it's only fair if I let you guys go 5 minutes early." He said, causing the entire group of students in the class run out somewhat eagerly.

George and I took our times leaving, much to Mr Brown's annoyance as he had to wait for all of us to leave before locking up and going home and relaxing.

"So how was your first detention?" I asked the brunette as we pulled out of the parking lot in the Ferrari.
George shrugged his shoulders "It sucks a lot, but I could last the week."
"Yeah" I agreed with him, "then I will have to start practicing for football season."
