The time seemed to fly by because when I looked up the classroom was full. My brain was fuzzy still so I tried my best to concentrate on the words Venable was about to write.

The first half of class she hadn't so much as looked my way, but before she passed out our work she looked down at me.

"Miss Y/l/n, Would you please remove your sunglasses?" I bit my lip nervously. I didn't want to tell her no, but what other option did I have?

"But I-" she cut me off handing me a paper. "I said take them off" realizing it was an unavoidable demand I slowly slid the black frames down pointing my head that way as well.

To be sure none of the watching students heard her she whispered, "look up". I did meeting her strong gaze.

Her face softened but all she said was a quiet "Thank you". Her hand motioned to set them aside and she moved on handing out pages.

I let a shaky sigh. Please don't say anything. I hoped she would just let it go. Another stupid thought.

I started writing pushing the worry down.

20 minutes passed and the bell rang I got up putting the glasses back on. "Y/n, stay behind please".

Fuck.

This time she pulled the frames down herself lifting my chin with her slender fingers. "Did Grayson do this?" I shook my head trying to avoid her eyes.

"No look at me, tell me who did" I found myself blanking. What was I supposed to say?

"I don't know, some girls" she let go of my face sitting down while I stayed put. "Don't lie to me" there was that stern I'm in charge voice again.

I stared at her. She was waiting for my answer. But I didn't give her one.

"Okay" she said facing her laptop. I was taken aback that she had dropped it.

Her voice was quiet, "You can go to class now".

I lifted the corners of my mouth and turned to leave.

She watched me as I made my way out.

------------------------------------------------------------

After the last bell I tried to slip through the hall quickly.

I had planned to skip detention. I'd honestly rather take on whatever tough time Venable would give me than another busted eye.

I intended to walk out the door but just as I had made it, I heard a tap.

My fingers reached for the handle, hoping I could make it.

"Where do you think you're going?". Dammit.

I sighed turning, "Please, I have to get home". She raised a brow.

"Have you forgotten the detention you have to serve?". I was beginning to get antsy.

Impatience wayed on me, "I'll serve it tomorrow morning".
