Setting Ourselves Up

Working past hours

Jade

I still don't understand why i got detention, i mean i understand she punished Xander- but why punish me and Av?

"Hey, don't worry" - Xander nudges my shoulder.

"One detention" - he holds up one finger ,as if i don't know what the number one looks like-"Won't ruin anything for you anyway"-he playfully pokes my nose.

"Hey!" - i push him.

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"Alright calm down, Cat Valentine" - he makes me laugh. Yet again. Like always. I think part of why me and Xander are as close as we are ,is because of all the refrences we share .Our entire taste in basically everything is the same.It's actually nice.

We are walking towards the detention room, James nowhere to be found. Apparently he left class before it ended but i didn't see him at all.

Despite the bad feeling that something bad has happened to him -and wishing that something did at the same time-i try to not look worried.

I sigh heavily and fix my hair.

We enter the classroom and i see that James is sitting , slouched down on one of the desks.

"What the hell dude?" - i ask him.

"You just disappeared and didn't tell us anything!"

"Aww, were you worried about me?" - James makes a pout face, grinning.

"That's really clever and funny James, there really is no limit to your wit" - i answer sarcastically and annoyed.

"I know, right?" - he smirks as if he's won this game.

"Alright students you're going to be here for a long time so i suggest you sit down at your assigned seats"- Ms. Susan walks in like she owns the place.

"Miss come on can't we sit where we want to ,at least in detention?" - i ask, with pleading in my eyes.

She looks at me for a moment and i actually think she'll let us but then she shakes her head and lets a quiet whisper.

"No, no you can't" - it's official. Im going to kill this bitch.

I sigh and sit at my seat next to James.
I notice that he's not sitting in the window seat.

"Hey what happened, why aren't you sitting near the window?"

"Oh my god, did you see you're own reflection in the window and got scared?" - i make a shocked face and chuckle at him. I'm trying to cheer him up. Something's off with him today.

"Yeah, that's exactly why" - he rolls his eyes.

I don't say anything and turn to the window.

After a few minutes i feel a tap on my shoulder.

"Hey im sorry for snapping at you im just - j-a bit off today" - he fixes his round glasses on his nose which gives me a second to admire his annoyingly pretty brown eyes. Pretty brown eyes? What the hell Jade? What are you thinking? Weird shit most of the times,apparently.
