I changed into a different pair of pants and put my shoes on. Forget brushing my hair I'd just put it up.

Today I was sure to get up early, early enough to get to Venables classroom before anyone else and apologize.

My daily routine of checking for my dad continued, he was gone today. I guessed he had passed out somewhere else last night.

I started my walk convincing myself to be quick so I could get a head start on the day.

I walked into the school building, the cafeteria lights were still off. The only students here this early were ones making up work. I paced off to Venables room.

I knew she was here because of the lavender bag sitting on her desk, but she was no where in sight. I decided to wait outside her classroom. Within a few minutes I could hear her heels coming down the hall.

When she spotted me she seemed to be caught off guard, before she could speak I did.

"I felt bad for being late yesterday so I made sure I was early, I'm sorry" Her face stayed stuck in a frown. "I can't do anything with I'm sorry"

I froze. Maybe she's having a bad day.

"I could clean the desk or white board if you want" I knew I was being annoying but I saw a glimmer of amusement in her brown eyes.

"Alright, but don't touch my things" I followed her stopping at her desk when she sat down. I chewed the side of my lip nervously, a habit I picked up long ago.

She pointed to a wash rag and spray on the cabinet next to her. I grabbed it beginning to wipe down the front desk.

How stupid can these people be? First they forget to make me copies then ruin them by spilling their coffee.

I stomped back to my room, as I turned down the hall I spotted somebody standing at my door. This is fucking ridiculous.

I realized it was the late girl from the day before. Not the worst person I've seen today, at least she was some what endearing.

She spoke in a hushed voice, "I felt bad for being late yesterday so I made sure I was early, I'm sorry".

She really came all the way to my room to tell me she was sorry, pathetic was the only word for it.

"I can't do anything with I'm sorry".

Maybe I was a bit harsh. She paused and spoke just as I thought I'd get rid of her.

"I could clean the desk or white board if you want"

Ahh she is useful after all.

"Alright, but don't touch my things" I walked forward and waited for her to follow which she seemed eager to do.

I pointed to the cleaning supplies watching her grab them and beginning wiping down desk.

Her body bent down swipe over the wood slowly. She truly was an attractive young woman.

What is she hiding beneath that sweater.

I started working again, while she quietly went across the room. It was kind of nice to have company even if we didn't speak.

Once she was done she stood in front of me again smiling. The way her lips curled up over her perfect white teeth had me smile. "Do you need help with anything else?"

"Do you need help with anything else?" Her eyes stayed glued to mine for a moment. I folded my hands over myself nervously.

"Not as of now, but you've been a good help. If you'd like you can start early on today's assignment, class should start in less than 10 minutes". I nodded looking at the papers on her desk, we exchanged a small look and I took one.

Sitting down at my seat she went back to work and I started to write. Halfway through students began filling in.

I noticed Grayson, a classmate I didn't get along with. I don't know what it was about me but his favorite activity was ruining my day. He hadn't been here yesterday thankfully.

I got up to turn in my paper. Standing in front of Venables desk I smiled and handed her the finished page. It almost looked like she was going to smile back.

Making my way back to my seat Grayson quickly set out his leg. Before I even realized I fell Venable was already saying my name.

"Miss Y/l/n, learn to pick up your feet please". Instead of standing down to her like I normally would I shouted back at her. "Maybe you should tell him that".

The boldness was not something I usually had.

I pulled myself back up as she made her way closer. "Do not raise your voice at me young lady, I suggest you apologize" she was looming over me.

Fuck.

My moment of bravery had dissipated and I stayed silent. "Detention the rest of this week" she grinned slightly waiting for me to speak, I didn't so she turned sitting back at her seat.

I went back to desk and placed my head down so no one could see me holding back tears.

Obviously she was watching, but she couldn't know the way I felt about it.

I didn't care about her or the detention, I cared about what my father would do when I went home late.

After about ten minutes the bell rang, I got up and paced out of the room to my next class.

I'm so screwed.
