Matt was so furious. That damn Miss Monroe had given him a detention on the second day of school for talking, or all things. He had been asking Abby Crawford out to the Grill for tomorrow night and boom it was, "Are we interrupting you, Mr. Donovan?"

He wanted to say, Hey remember, when you were chained up in our basement, you dumb hunter?

Matt's anger is what sparked him to retort, "Yes, Miss, or Professor Monroe, I was asking Miss Crawford out for tomorrow? Is that a problem for you?"

"No, of course, not. You can discuss it with her after detention with me tonight? Now, where were we?" Monroe said continuing her lesson on Hamlet, another thing Matt had no interest in.

No, no, no.

"Hey dumb ass, heard you already got detention from the new English teacher," Tyler said grabbing Matt by the neck in the hallway.

"Yeah, I was asking out Abby Crawford and she says yes and boom! I get screamed it. So I try to apologize after class. No mercy. I have to get the form signed, too. I'm dead," Matt finished.

"I don't know. If you just give it to Dad tonight, I don't think he'll freak. Honestly, you might be grounded for tomorrow, but you can go out with Abby next weekend," Tyler maintained.

"On the detention slip that I have to get signed, it says 'classroom disruption/disrespect'...You seriously think that is not going to get me a sore ass and a grounding? It's the second day of fucking school!" Matt shouted.

"Dude, keep your voice down or you will be getting in more trouble. Okay, so that's not great. I mean the only other option is...," Tyler started.

"What? Just spit it out. I'm on the edge here," Matt emphasized.

"Forge the slip. Keep your mouth shut, go to the Grill tomorrow with Abby and you were at a club meeting after school today. Take the activity bus home," Tyler imparted with a grin.

"Man, something tells me you have done this before," Matt grinned.

"Many times my friend. Never got caught, but don't drag me into it if you get busted. I mean it, Matt. I know nothing about it," Tyler continued.

"No problem, Ty. I'm not a total dumb ass," Matt went on.

Matt called Klaus at lunch and asked if he could go to a criminal justice club meeting after school. Klaus offered to pick him up, but Matt said he could take the activity bus home. Matt's face burned with shame. Klaus was so nice to him and always believed the best in him. He almost called back and told him the truth. Then, Matt thought about Abby Crawford and decided it was worth it.

At the detention, Miss Monroe made him start reading Hamlet on his own. After three sentences, he was completely confused and drifted off. He supposed he could have asked her for help, but he really wasn't interested. He just wanted to go home, he was hungry. She let him go with a reminder to get that detention slip signed. Matt assured her that he would tonight.

"Hey son, how was your meeting?" Klaus asked putting his arm around him.

"Okay. Not that many guys showed up. A little lame, I guess. Where is everyone?" Matt asked pouring himself some orange juice. The container of blood in the frig no longer phased him.

"I think the guys are upstairs. Rebekah, Davina, and Finn went clothes shopping. Freya is with Henrik downstairs. I'm going to go paint. Stop by if you need help with your school work," Klaus said kissing him on the forehead. Matt blushed a little. His mother had only been affectionate with him when she was in a happy drunk state. Matt thought about his lie and his face fell.
