Who's Bad

Detention

Torture.... Torture.... Torture.. Freaking never ending torture!!!!!! That describes how my next four hours were.. Nothing but never ending students yelling in your ear teacher calling on you to do problems on the board girls snapping her fingers and getting an attitude TORTURE!!! I sighed and pinched the bridge- of my nose. I am so happy that today was over.. Well almost. I still had to serve my time in detention. I continue to stroll down the hallway, which seemed to stretch on forever. My right eye began to twitch.. I don't like hallways.. Never have.. Never will.. Mostly because of what happened to me when I was young. I hugged myself and looked at the classroom doors.. 817.. 818.. 819... 820.. I stopped and stared at the door. I could open this door and serve my time or.... I looked down the poorly illuminated hallway.. I could take a run for it and go home. Before I could make up my mind, the door swung open and I came face-to-face with Michael.

"Skipping will get you more time in here young lady.."
I let out a light chuckle.. "Oh really??"
"Yes really.. In fact, I was sent to come and find you."
"Well you found me."

He was trying so hard not to smile.. Instead he took my hand and pulled me inside. I took a glance around the room.. First thing I noticed... This room was way too small and it was white.. The most boring color after gray.. A group of boys were sitting way in the back talking and on their phones. A girl with piercings was sitting in the first desk, next to the teacher's.. A boy and a girl were cuddling by the window.

"Excuse me.."

I turned my gaze away from them and glared at Michael. He had an annoyed look on his face. I don't blame him. If the teacher saw that I was standing in front of him/her and they paid no attention to me, I would be mad as hell..

"What is it Mr. Jackson??"
"I found her."
"Ohh great.. Since when did you get detention Mrs. Córtes??"
I let out a sigh. "It happens to everybody..."
"Fair enough.."

I raised my eyebrow. Michael rolled his eyes and pulled me along. We took a seat next to the girl and boy that were sitting by the window. I slung my book bag off my shoulders and leaned back in my chair. I got this weird feeling that someone was glaring at me. I pulled my hood over my head and slid down in my seat.

"You must really hate it here huh girl??"

I looked at the guy. He had hazel eyes and short jet black hair. He wore a black shirt with black jeans and a white belt along with some white high-tops. Hanging from a gold chain around his neck, was a weird symbol.. I could make it out because it was so small.. From my best guess, it was probably a six pointed star.

"No... It's my first time being here."
"Ohhhh.. Well I'm David.. A very good friend of Michael's.."
"And I'm Scarlet.. Michael's ex-girlfriend."

My gaze shifted from the boy to the girl. Well I see where she gets her name from.. She had blazing red hair and red contacts.. She had on WAY too much makeup for my taste.. Big sliver hooped earrings dangled from her ears while two silver bracelets occupied each of her wrists. She wore a red shirt with silver cursive writing on it, blue jeans with diamonds going down each of the pants leg, and red converse.

"Nice to meet you both.."
"Same to you." they both said in union.

I turned my attention back to Michael. He was leaning back in his chair listening to his IPod. A huge grinned formed on my face as a thought came to my mind. "That oh fuck moment when you lean back in your chair and gravity takes over." I let out a soft giggle. Michael pulled his ear buds out of his ears.

"Okay.. What's so funny??"
"Ohhh nothing."

I tried hard not to laugh, but it was getting pretty impossible. He smirked and let his chair down.

"Let me guess... That of fuck moment when you lean back in your chair and gravity takes over??"
"You said it.. Not me.."
"But you was thinking it."
"Guilty as charged."

Michael was about to say something when Scarlet butted in.

"So what's your name?"
"Heaven."
"Huh... Stupid name.."
"Bitch." I mumbled.
Michael chuckled. "I heard that."
"Good.." I slid even further in my seat.
"Aren't you going to fall??" David asked.
"Nope.. I've pretty much mastered this."
"Cool... You have to teach me sometime."
"Ummm sure."

Scarlet hit him on the chest and started talking to him in a different language. He just glared at her. At one point, I was actually scared for her. It looked like he was about to get up and beat the crap out of her. He took a deep breath and responded back to her in the same language. She shot a death glare my way and let out a frustrating sigh.

"I have always thought she was very amusing." Michael said softly.
"Is that why you dated her??"
"No... It wasn't exactly a choose for me.. I had to go with her.."
"And why was that??"
"Some secrets are better left hidden in the dark.."

I didn't question him after that.. Pretty soon it was time to go. I grabbed my book bag and quickly walked out of the classroom. I won't be seeing that room ever again. I was about to burst through the double doors when someone grabbed my wrist.

"Michael let me go."
"How did you know it was me??"
"Because you're the only person crazy enough to do something like this."

He giggled and let me go. I pushed the doors opened and stepped out into the night. I glanced up at the sky. The full moon was shining ever-so-brightly while millions of stars were scattered across the sky. It was truly a beautiful sight to look at. A light breeze stirred causing my black hair to cloud my vision. Michael gently placed his hand in mine.

"This has truly been one interesting day for me.. I pissed off a girl, got detention, and made her cry... but all in all it was very fun.. I haven't felt like this in a very long time and I don't know if I ever will.."

I remained silent and waited for him to continue.

"I guess what I'm trying to say is.... That I...."

He was cut off by Scarlet coming out the door. She pushed me aside which caused me to let go of Michael's hand.

"Look here Scarlet!! That's fucking disrespectful!! Aren't you going to apologize??"
"Fuck you Michael!!"
"Go to hell!"
"You go first!"
"Trust me, I've already been there!!"
"You make me sick with your no-good ass!!"
"Have you forgotten that I was the one who saved your skinny ass!!"
"No I saved your ass!!"
"Stop making up lies!! Ain't nobody got time for that shit!!"

David walked out and everything got quiet. He walked down the stairs and started towards his car with Scarlet close behind.

"I'm sorry you had to hear that.."
"It's okay.. I've heard worse.."
"Do you need a ride home??"
"Nope. I can walk."
"You're not walking.."
"But it's not that far."
"I don't care.. You're not walking and that's final."
I pouted and crossed my arms over my chest. "You can't make me get in your car."
He raised one of his arched eyebrows. "Oh really??"
"Yes really."

Without warning, he grabbed me and threw me over his shoulder.

"MICHAEL!!!! Put me down!!"
He let out a dark chuckle. "Make me."
"You mean.."
"Uh huh.."
"Just don't drop me.."
"Now why would I do that??"

I giggled and grabbed a handful of his jacket.. Just to be sure..
