detention buddy

(not proof read. oops)

I slowly shook my head, " Luke, I can't remember him. the doctors say it's amnesia."

"amnesia?", Luke asked.

"yes Luke. I don't even remember what his name was. how can I get him in jail if I don't remember anything about him?", I asked looking down. in all honesty it was embarrassing.

"Arden", Luke said using his fingers to lift my chin up so we were making eye contact again," I promise you that it will be okay."

"okay? you think things will be okay", I asked frantically

Luke looked worried but kept his mouth shut.

"we all have that one secret we wouldn't tell anyone to save our lives... mine got out. try living that one down", I said shaking my head.

when I woke up the next morning the events of the previous day ran through my mind.

after Luke and I basically told each other everything, my mom had called telling me that I needed to be home soon to discuss the call she got from the school.

in the end, she wasn't mad. I explained the whole situation and needless to say she was pissed that I had detention for basically no reason. I told her it was fine and that one week of detention wasn't a big deal.

she also asked why I hadn't came home until 10 but I told her that I was just walking around town then went to the library. surprisingly she believed me.

after that Gabi had texted me asking why I had left school. I quickly sent her a text back that I would tell her in the morning and headed off to bed.

after laying in bed for 5 minutes thinking about yesterday I decided to get up and get ready for school.

I did my normal routine of showering, doing my makeup, and getting dressed. for the day I just wore some jeans and a grey pocket tee with my converse. I threw my hair in a pony tail as I stared at myself in the mirror.

as cliche and dumb as it sounds, I could see how much I've changed in the past few weeks. it's like the life has literally been drained out of me. I look dull now.

shaking my head and walking out of the bathroom I grabbed an apple and headed to my car. shouting a goodbye at my mom.

the whole drive to Gabis I was shaking. I was scared of what people would say today. especially after the events of yesterday. people would definitely be talking about me, even more than before.

"hey, love", Gabi said getting into the car.

"hi", I said smiling at her and Calum.

"so.... you gonna tell us what the hell happened yesterday", Calum asked from the back seat.

so I told them everything. I had just finished explaining when we pulled up to the school.

"so you have detention for doing nothing", Gabi asked.

"basically, I don't mind though", I said getting out of my car before slamming the door shut. Gabi and Calum doing the same.

"that's bull shit", Calum said. I simply shrugged

"it's okay, I really don't mind. I gotta go though guys. I'll see you at lunch?", i asked walking away.

"of course, love you", Gabi said and blew a kiss, smacking Calum after he just flipped me off.

I shook my head and smiled. idiot.

I walked into my first period class quickly. trying not to pay attention to the kids all looking at me.

when I walked into the classroom I let out a sigh of relief after seeing Luke was sitting there.

he saw me looking at him and smiled. smiling I made my way to the seat next to him.

"hi", I said to him sitting down.

"hey, sweetheart", he said looking at me, his nickname making me blush.

this fucking kid made me blush. idiot.

"how did your mom react", he asked, still just looking at me.

"she was upset at first. but she's okay now I guess", I said shrugging.

"aww, look at them", I looked up to see none other than Jake sitting there smirking at us," how cute."

"I know, the two freaks actually decided to show their faces again", Dillon chimed in.

I looked over at Luke to see him looking at me in the eye with his jaw clenched and his fist in balls. I slowly shook my head silently telling him to calm down.

Luke just shook his head back at me and turned to say something to Dillon and Jake but before he could speak the bell rang silencing him.

"good morning class, today we're going to be talking about..."

the rest of the school day went by slowly. Luke and I had another class together. I also had three classes with Calum and one with Gabi.

throughout the whole day I was getting dirty looks. a smirk there, a laugh here. it's never been like this. never have I felt so targeted.

thankfully the day was over. well not technically, I still had fucking detention.

when I walked into the detention room Luke was already there with his ear buds in his ears and his head on the desk.

when I sat down next to him he looked up and smiled at me.

"hey, detention buddy", he said laughing.

"hey", I said shaking my head at him.

"all time low", he questioned handing me the other ear bud that wasn't in his ear.

I nodded taking it from him and sticking it in my ear. placing my head on the desk and drumming my fingers to the beat.

maybe detention wouldn't be so bad...
