chapter 4: detention part one

So, here we are. In detention. Sitting quietly. Wasting our precious time, we could have been at home watching Netflix and eating  unhealthy snacks, but noooo, we are in detention for being late on math period. It was only 5 minute folks! IT WAS ONLY 5 MINUTE!!

"Its eight to be precise," I mumbled under my breath, mocking Mr.Math. Remembering him just makes me cringe.

I Scanned the classroom for any 'non-boring' activity. Unfortunately, there is none. Alisa is in the front seat, laying her head on the desk. And knowing her for years, she's probably asleep.

Nilson and Zack are sitting beside the window. Nilson stamping his feet in some kind of rhythm, as Zack is doodling on the table.

Dweck is at the left corner of the class. Hands in his pocket, and keeping his blank face plasterd as he stared at the walls.

And I'm at the other corner of the room observing everyone, as if they are some kind of documentary.

I glanced at Mr.pank, who's supposed to keep an eye on Us, but the way he snorts, tells me his neglecting his responsibility.

I glanced back at Dweck, remembering what he said that day, 'you were looking for Hennry?' And 'C'mon, even blind could tell'... something like that.

I've never told anyone about my crush on Hennry, except for Alisa, so its impossible that someone told him. 'Even blind could tell', I ponderd upon his words like some kind of holy verse.

What did he mean by that? Is my crush on Hennry that obvious? Pfft, noway... Right? I mean, yeah I blush every time I see him and all but, C'mon! It can't be that obvious...? Shoot! May be it was a little obvious.

As our 'keeper',Mr.park, is in a deep sleep, I quietly headed towards Dweck, searching for answers to satisfy my curiosity. He glanced at me with his casual face and got back to his staring contest with the wall. Only God knows what kind of deep conversation they're having.

"What's up, Dweck!" I greeted him proudly, Showing off my talent of memorizing names. You know, I'm talented.

He just raises an eyebrow as I sat on the chair in front of him.

"Sorry that i didn't know your name that day?" I muttered, but it came out as a question more than an apology.

He just look me in the eyes and ignores me like I donot exist. Shish... This is one of the top 10 awkward situation, I hate being in... Me confessing my Helpless love story to the raccoon, being first of course.

I cleared my throat, trying to push the silence away, "...only 2% of the world population has green eyes. you know... just sharing a knowledgeable fact..." Damn! I'm really terrible at starting conversations.

Wait! Did I just see him smile? "What do you want?" He asked,  putting his blank expression back on.

"Okay so... Well last time...you said...you said that..." I stammered,  not knowing how to ask.

"Take your time," I'm not sure if that was pure sarcasm or him trying to comfort me.

I leaned close, as I whispered, "How did you know that I've a crush on Hennry?", I asked, making sure no other creature have heard.

He run his fingers through his hair as he sighs, looking kind of disappointed. Why? What did I say?

"Is it really obvious? I mean, does anyone else know about it?" I continued, keeping my voice low, "Mmm?" I hummed, waiting for his reply.

"I didn't know you had a crush on Henry," my eyes widen in confusion at his words, "now I do." He shrugged.

Holy chicken! WTH!?

"What?... but you.... You said that day that even blind could tell!" I exclaimed in confusion, but still keeping my voice low.

He doesn't say anything but shrugs with blank expression.

Oh God! This can't be happening! Did I just confess to him my crush on Henry? Not like confessing to Jeffrey(the raccoon) was embarrassing enough. Why do I always get embarrassed?! WHY?!

I covered my face in embarrassment, as I screamed internally.

"Let just forget that I was here, okay? As nothing ever happened." I stated, still covering my face. I stood up to flee away as far as possible, from this self-humiliating moment.

I got back to my seat and avoided to look at Dwecks direction, I'm never going to be able to face him again.

meanwhile I was humiliating my self, Nilson and Zack were having a heated argument. I decided to join them, so may be I could forget about my embarrassment.

*5 minute later*

I'm proud to say that I've wasted precious minutes of my life, on a Useless argument. Apparently, they were arguing about who is more handsome.
A)Zack, with Dark brown curly hair, brown hazel eyes, full lips and a clear jaw structure.
B) Nilson, with black spiky hair, brown eyes, sexy smile and dimples on both cheeks.

Well, both are good looking, but I'd rather add a C and say Hennry.

"Hey guys," I started, "let me ask you a question, why is Dweck always silent?" I asked out of the blue.

"He had always been like this, but lately, I'm concerned about him." Zack whispered.

"And why is that?" I asked interested by what he got to say.

"He normally gets disgusted whenever Nilson and I talk about ladies-" Nilson interrupted him with a cough. Zack rolled his eyes and continued, "okay. Whenever I talk about ladies and stuff. But lately, he just blanks out!", I nodded, telling him to continue. "I think... I think he's...." Zack hesitated to continue.

"His on drugs!" Nilson exclaimed.

"No its worse," zack explained, "I think his in... love."
