King Cobra Chapter 6 Part 2 "Fresh Start, Fresh Love"

 ~○Part 2○~

Going to detention, Angelica should have been upset. She should have been feeling cheated, like a criminal with a sentence immoderate for her case. She should have been pissed off. Though with the person walking just slightly behind her, she felt anything but that.

It was the boy that helped her in the cafeteria. The same boy that went out of his way to defend her in the classroom, and now was doing a detention sentence in her favor. She finally got a chance to figure this guy out, and she knew she was gonna enjoy every minute of it.

They walked in silence for a moment, with Angelica skipping ahead. She would take short glimpses at the boy behind her, only to catch him staring at her. He would then look away in embarrassment, attempting to look as if he was then inspecting the paper advertisements that were fixed to the wall.

After another round of this routine, Angelica finally slowed her pace so that they were walking side by side.

"Soooo," The words flowed out of Angelica's mouth as she tried to evoke conversation, "do you get yourself in detention often, or is this a once in a while thing?"

He smirked at her remark, clearly finding amusement in the joke.

"Often? No. A lot? Yea," He replied. "I've probably been in detention more than I've been in a classroom."

Angelica didn't know if that last part was a joke (it probably was) but she said anyway to continue the banter,

"Really? I think you might want to get yourself a hobby then."

"Fairly said," He contributed.

"I'm Angelica by the way," Angelica implanted into the conversation.

"I know- or well no I mean, I heard," He corrected himself, awkwardly rubbing the back of his neck. "Yea, I heard. Funny enough, this is my first time going to detention at this school."

"Well spoiler alert, it isn't fun," Angelica informed him with an exaggerated expression of boredom.

"I wouldn't think so," His head bobbed up slowly.

"So you're a martial artist, a frequent visitor of detention, and a social celebrity of the school. Is there anything else I need to know about you?" Angelica pried curiously, her eyes locking on the boy as if she was trying to dissect his character.

"What do you want to know?" He stopped dead in his tracks, awarding her with that roguish smile of his.

"I'd like to know if I'm also gonna get a name?" Angelica inquired.

"Payne," Payne revealed to her before he began shuffling forward again.

Angelica took a moment to digest that, nose scrunching at the atypical name.

"Payne?" She first repeated, though after a small moment she grinned as if taking a liking to it. "Of course your parents named you Payne. I guess it's only fitting."
